request. Dont know about some of you guys but I would be pooing my pants if I could'nt find

my best tunes cos they were randomly shoved in my box.

I think this could be a subject for another thread.... 'my dj filing system explained, or, was it I just got pissed when I last did a spot and thats how my records ended up the next time I opened my box !!!!

Anyway, I use the good old tried and tested Alphabetical label system in my main northern box....

I dont bother filing now, as i did about a year ago,,,and 3 months later....i was back on the rob smith filing system!!

Alphabetical is all well and good, if you wanna go straight to a particular 45, but what if you wanna play something of a similar style to whats playing but not sure what? if you get my drift? Alphabetically doesn't mean similar styles, and changing the contents of a playbox to suit a venue would be a nightmare to do in alphabetical order, just keep em in 'blocks' of styles/eras me,

Blimey Pete i dont even know what tunes go with what so mine go in the box wherever they fit in and when it comes to putting a set together the buzz for me is rifleing through and trying to find something before the tune on the decks finishes

Chrissie, no one said it had to be attached

Back to the filing systems....At home the collection is alphabeticaly stored, but I would have thought for Dj's the 'style' system mentioned would be better unless they were set in stone what they were going to play ?

Blimey Pete i dont even know what tunes go with what so mine go in the box wherever they fit in and when it comes to putting a set together the buzz for me is rifleing through and trying to find something before the tune on the decks finishes

Paul that's when you start regretting after your set what you coulda played, you don't have to 'know' what goes with what, just what you think goes with what, then you can browse similar stuff if your playing a request, just my way of filing the playbox, i'm sure it's not everyones way, just a case of what's easiest for the individual,

I treid everything Pete so i think i know where a tune is in me box but when i look for it i cant find it as i must of put it in the wrong place or wrong sleeve and everytime i tell myself to try to organise myself but thats not easy for me in anything i do in life must admit that drinking a lot dont really help either

Now all of that I can relate to, my 'box' never returns home in the same order it left

My first 15 , probably out of there covers and in no order

Betty Everett - Please love me

Bull & The Matadors - if you decide

Barbara Lewis - think a little sugar

Del-counts - with another guy

Whispers - remember me

Reflections - June bride

The Drew-vels - its my time

Linda Carr - in my life

Traditions - my life with you

Anthony & the sophomores - it depends on you

Cathy saint - Big bad world

Deon Jackson - you said you loved me

Syl Johnson - Try me

Buck Rogers movement - take it from me girl

Now all of that I can relate to, my 'box' never returns home in the same order it left

im glad its not just me then

does make me laugh though when i get behind the decks to start to sort out some tunes ready for my set but can never decide and the dj currently on is so well organised and cos i never know what to start with i normally ask him/her to pick a tune out for me and then go from there too much thinking aint no good for me you know

anyone else like that too

I like your style.....thats "JAZZ PICK" system!!

Alphabetical is all well and good, if you wanna go straight to a particular 45, but what if you wanna play something of a similar style to whats playing but not sure what? if you get my drift? Alphabetically doesn't mean similar styles, and changing the contents of a playbox to suit a venue would be a nightmare to do in alphabetical order, just keep em in 'blocks' of styles/eras me,

Thats why I keep mine alpha and have different coloured sleeves for the styles so I can spot them easily.

I like your style.....thats "JAZZ PICK" system!!

Yes, I go with this style, with what I definately want to play at right hand front of box.

I like your style.....thats "JAZZ PICK" system!!

I kind of know where my tunes are in the box but when you think you know where it is but it aint there and you try and find it before the record playing ends and you just about manage it that alone gives me a buzz as i just cant plan a set in advance, i got an idea of some of the stuff i want to play but in what order or when or if is another thing so for me ad libbing is the only way

I bought a smaller box so its easier to not lose tunes

my filing system sounds complicated but i find it the quickest way to find a tune...especially if i change my mind at the last moment....i hate just grabbing any tune cos the playing record is ending....interupts the flow man !

my box has 3 rows...the first starts with maybe 20 rnb....then about 30 motown...then when playing go go children like friday, about 40 that have never been played there...we like to play a good ammount of 'new' tunes every month...

the next row about 40 feamale vocal then vocal groups...

the next row is all male vocals

also those that are known as classic or overplayed top 500 tunes and are more likely to be requested tend to be together at the back of the rows...simple

so i'll give you first 15 in row 2 and 3...

You know what they say about Millionairs they only get that way cos' they never give anything away!

im glad its not just me then

does make me laugh though when i get behind the decks to start to sort out some tunes ready for my set but can never decide and the dj currently on is so well organised and cos i never know what to start with i normally ask him/her to pick a tune out for me and then go from there too much thinking aint no good for me you know

anyone else like that too

Jeez... I'd never find anything if I did that!

I'm like Bearsy, put a record on and I have no idea what I'm going to follow it up with until I get to it after a frantic two minute root through the box.

Disorganised chaos. You should try it Steve
