...about the sound that they/we play?


OPINIONS?

I've been thinking about this.

I mean I call some sounds dark and sexy...but is it right?
But when I use the word
DARK I mean bassy sounds...like electro or dark D'n'B...
When I use the word
SEXY I mean stylish,driving...main floor up coo sounds...that makes you dance...

But is it sexy...? could I use those kinda phrases,when I talk about my sound?

I think it's fine to use words like that to describe your sound. It's not hurting anyone and to non-christians they'l know what you mean.

depends on the usage and who is around. certain things i dont say when certain people are around because it would be a stumbling block. (which paul talks about).

but for instance, outside of music, i was playing army of two with a friend the other day and he threw a grenade which cause like 4 people to run from cover into our lines of fire and i yell, that was sexy. i woudlnt say that it was sin. but, if i look at a women who i am not married to and say, shes really sexy, i think your are at least pushing the limits. same principles apply to dark and dirty.

As somebody who does DJ out.

It is extremely important to understand the lingo of promoters and fellow djs.

If they are telling you that the crowd is very sexy and full of b@#ches then you need to cater to that.


Yeah these words are really important to understand.

places I dj:

midcity: very sexy... full of women and martinis (listeners of hiphop who actually like what I spin when i play {axwell, deadmau5, lutenkirchen, i.e. driving house music})
cafe:ine: mostly guys who like it dark {more progressive}
netparties: commercial breaks for bouncy teens/college {trance, funky breaks, commercial}
da gathering: dark, hard and fast music for the virgin ears of EDM (most of the kids are listening to hiphop, country, or rock all week)

gotta know your crowd...

I agree with both Doug and Daniel on this one. Discernment plays a big role in what music you play. Me, personally, I try to make sets constantly to appeal to all audiences. It's a hard thing to do, and it takes knowing your music very well, from beginning to end. Get the feel of the crowd, and then quickly and carefully set your flow. It takes alot of experience and practice, however the more you do these things, the easier it becomes, especially if you have more music coming in. 

yes, next question.

juice, in this context, "sexy" does not refer to the lyrics, but more about the overall sound of a track. i've heard many songs from Christians that had a sexy sound to them. that does not mean the song makes me want to have sex or puts dirty thought in my head. it simply means the song had a very cool sound that could only be described as sexy.
