Ernie Andrews Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Which 2 records do you put together that keeps your set tight moving from a 60s record to a 70s record and visa versa. be very interetested how they go together. EG; Tony & Tandy - bitter and the sweet 60s and say Valerie and Nick - Ill find you 70s You get the idea Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest upsetterfc Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Depends on what the desired effect is when transitioning... Are you trying to keep the floor moving? Then the worst thing to do is have a pair of songs for transition. The dancers will pick up on that in no time and you'll have people drifting away when they hear the first song in the transition. It's better to play several songs that kinda blur the line between the two styles so when you play your 70s set it doesn't sound like an abrupt change. I'd keep at least a dozen songs on hand that you can slip between the defined styles for that sort of transition. If you're trying to change the floor to get the 70s dancers out, then a pairing will work fine. It gives the dancers who don't like the 70s stuff a chance to slip off the floor without having a mass exodus when the styles change. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

If the divs learned to appreciate (and dance to) both styles, there wouldn't be a problem! Hit the Seventies buggers with a stomper, and the sixties mafia with Beloyd, then follow on with a Latimore side and some funk! Upset 'em all. It's the only way they'll learn!
