The life and times of an up and coming DJ…

“Low” is the new “crank dat”

January 14th, 2008 by Forge

I don’t mean dance-wise. I mean it has a high level of “request annoyance” like the soulja boy track did when it was first heating up. Seriously demandotrons, calm down, I’m gonna play it. Anyways, I must be on to something with my theories cause Travis Barker remixed this one too.

Peep the frantic drum pace! The track is around 128-129 BPM, which brings me to my next thought: the other night I played this track near the end of my first set, then the second DJ played it right after he got on (literally five minutes later). I go “I JUST PLAYED THAT” and he says “oh, I didn’t think you were playing tracks that slow”. Do you know why he said this? Because he trusts the preprinted BPM numbers on club compilation CDs and Vinyls which had it calculated at half the time (common mistake, and the inverse is true as well). To each one teach one!
