DJs/Producers; What you spin vs. what you make?

[project.one]

So, I know theres alot of DJs who spin/play a certin type of music, but who will produce/make something other then what they play out live.

Anyone produce something other then what they play? What?

well I've been spinning dubstep/dnb and electro/progressive for about 6 months now....


I produce ambient/dark ambient/drone/IDM/NOIZE



try and figure that one out......

i produce mostly hip hop,breaks and trip hop.... as well as some experimental sound design stuff.

but I spin basically everything and anything under the sun- whatever I feel will rock some faces off. Classic Rock, EDM, Funk, Soul, Hip Hop, Jazz, my own original bootleg work... etc. etc.

When I spin, its Hardcore & HHC.

I produce what ever the hell I want. psytrance, dnb, hip hop, hardcore, techno.

I've been experimenting with some downtempo broken beat stuff lately... recording wierd noises from my various instruments, making beats on a bass... trying to go as experimental as my novice production knowledge will allow.

And I've been spinning dark techy breaks for about three months now, both on vinyl and in Ableton.

well I don't "spin", so I guess I can't fully answer, but I usually make/play out hiphop @ parties n ' that sorta thing. Lately Ive been working on an album with a singer doing everything from dark twisted industrial shit with guitar riffs to funky jazzy bluesy type songs.. it's gunna be quite the album I must say. The top 3 songs on my soundclick I just put up are teasers to give y'all an idea.

I generally produce the same stuff as I spin, from funky techno to acid house, to groove house. http://www.beatport.com/dj+jakub

^ curious as to why you'd try sellin a CD of the same song remixed 5 times? If you want people to buy your stuff, Id say try gettin more diverse with the style / sampling / loops n' what not. Sorry not tryin to be rude, just an observation.

I've been really trying to keep myself as open minded to new music, typically, I play psy prog, and psy....as well as produce a lot of psy driven tunes.

Lately I've been experimenting with a lot of tech trance and tribal techno...mind you if a track has a lot of energy, with an interesting groove, a killargh bassline, it holds my attention, providing dynamically, the tune goes somewhere :)
