No it's not that. I just feel certain songs don't need to be remixed and it has nothing to do with age. To me it takes away from it being a classic and kind of diminish the song. Simply put there's the song that says I love you just the way you are.
Quick Mix or Not… A Brides Point Of View
- Thread starter djtaso
- Start date
And many song are better and more popular when they are redone by a different artist
Very far from it.
This characterization far exceeds due diligence and portends the DJ to be a mind reader.
The Singularity of this notion is just vanity masquerading as propriety knowledge.
The bride gave a positive review of the DJ, and a negative review of her own due diligence.
"Transition style" is a question just as relevant as:
- what will the DJ be wearing?
- do you tale requests?
- can we give you a list of songs to play?
- what is your presentation style?
- How do you change (flow) from from song to song?
- what time do arrive to setup.
I know what I know because it was important to them often before it was important to me.
It's also worth noting that quick mixing as we know it today is the child of technology. It's been a quarter century since the release of Ableton Live and sequencing software used by DJs that preceded the many features now embedded in DJ controllers. Sequencing is the base of "fast mixing" and it will soon be standard fare in future AI disc jockey products. This not so much a trend as it is a bridge to No DJ.
There are many acts today even - that are just an emcee or other performer, working without a DJ.

Tunes4046 I believe nailed it. It's about finding out as much as you can about the event so if you agree to do the event you know what the client wants from you the DJ. It's not about what the DJ wants and how they want to do things.
Did the bride check his referecnes? Apparantly not,
Did the Bride inquire about his style? Apparently not.
She's blaming the DJ for a personal preference she kept SECRET unitll weeks after the event,.
She admits the DJ followed through on EVERYTHING she requested.
She admits no one asked him to tighten up the mix during the event.
This is like going to a restaurant and leaving the waitress to decide what you like; then complaining that something is missing.

And? That’s how people are nowadays. You’re not gonna change that generations behavior. They’d rather complain after than confront in the moment. Doesnt lower the value of her review in the eyes of others… maybe to djs… but not to other brides on that page. The damage is kinda done
I don't have to participate in that behaviior. I'm not looking for my next "selfie."
I can choose not to solicit people who lack personal agency. You're claiming damage where I see none.
There are other people (even in that age group) that will see the same glaring contradiction that I do, and not be deterred by that review.
Unless the DJ is actively and grossly misleading people - this review is not going to hurt him at all.
