Hey guys!
I'm more of a multi-genre DJ nowadays (I was focused on d'n'b in my early 'career') and I'm going to do the warm-up for a liquidish drum n bass headliner. I'm talking about Hybrid Minds.
I've done quite a lot of warm-up gigs, but I've never done one before a headliner that plays mellow music. (I expect it will be quite mellow liquid d'n'b)
I am really concerned about the energy levels and the track selection, since I don't want to mess up the vibe by playing stuff that isn't meant to be played before a liquid d'n'b set.
I was discussing with the promoter and the following genres popped up : garage, breaks ... I will try to include some ~120 bpm house too.
I will obviously not play a full-dnb set, but I plan on going into some really drum oriented d'n'b tracks at the end (without fancy breakdowns with a million synths etc.)
Could you give me some tips on what kind of music would be the most suitable for warming up a liquid d'n'b headliner?
