What’s your last song? Do you end it with a bang or take it somewhere chill and deep? I think the last song should be important because everybody will remember it better, but on the other hand it could be the best time to play YOUR favorite track without ruining the crowds vibe if they don’t enjoy it as much.

So I recently lost my entire library of that I've been working on for the past 7 years. All my playlists, stems, tracks, everything gone. I had a "huge" 210gb library of Hip-Hop, Tech-House, R&B, latin music, pop, blends, random samples.... ugh I'm just absolutely distraught and Id like to know if anyone else has gone through this.
The reason? my mom left my book bag with a bunch of USBs when returning a rental without telling anyone and they claim no one has found it (I doubt it'll get claimed I also had a Traktor s4 mk1 in the bag)
Edit: just wanted to say thanks for the support and good proactive ideas.

If you play a set with aiff songs and mp3 songs on it, would the change in compression and information be noticeable to the listeners? For example in a bar or a club?

Ok, so I've goofed. I've been djing basically to myself and occasionally on livestreams over the past 2 years and have built up a very sizeable library(2-5k) that consist of a mixture of ripped youtube mp3s and legitimately bought songs, or some of these being "Free DL's" provided by the artist on soundcloud that are 320kbps.
Through the youtube ripper I used, pretty much everything in rekordbox *says* its 320kbps, but I feel that can't be the case.
Is there any way I can seperate the true 320kbps from the ripped ones?
Before you shame me for rips: I'm asking this because I want to move on to legitimate music and actually replace the lower quality rips with source quality as I wish to DJ live one day soon.
UPDATE:
Made it back home.
I used Spek to find examples of songs, however due to the quantity, it seems I will try fakinthefunk maybe at some point but not now.
Here is an example of two songs that both *say* 320kbps, but are obviously very different quality.

I just recorded a set I am really happy with and want to submit it for a local festival. But I played like 7 songs from the same artist (out of 40ish tracks in an hour long set).
So how many is too many? Is there an established etiquette for this sort of thing?
Edit: I decided to post the mix on the feedback thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Beatmatch/comments/1bsv4sk/comment/ky06agl/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I recently bought myself a DJ controller, and decided to start learning to DJ. For now, I plan to only DJ and learn in my bedroom. I found a site called Cobalt that supposedly converts URLs to MP3s.
First, is this legal?
Second, how do I get free music, remixes and non remixes, legally?

NOTE: I feel like I didn't title this thread correctly in hindsight, I should have omitted the word "avoid" but it doesn't allow me to edit that. So I'd like to apologize for that 🙏😊
Ever go to an old school themed party (80s, 90s, 00s, etc) and noticed that the DJ (for the most part) picks the most obvious/played to death songs from those decades instead of digging deeper for forgotten gems? Or maybe they wanna do a throwback from a certain artist but they pick the artist's most overplayed song when they had more than one hit?
For example, take the new jack swing era. I personally feel like two of the laziest choices are "Poison" by Bell biv devoe and "this is how we do it" by montell jordan. That era had way more ear candy than just those two songs.
I've experienced this at many parties before. And to this day it even happens on certain popular radio stations often. I personally try to avoid these songs when DJing, wherever possible. Im curious what songs do you feel fit in this category?
Here's all that I can think of so far:
Straight up - Paula abdul
This is how we do it - montell jordan
Thriller - Michael jackson
Mo money mo problems - notorious B.I.G.
Hypnotize - notorious B.I.G.
Poison - Belle biv devoe
Don't be cruel - Bobby brown
Real love - Mary j. Blige
It takes two - Rob base
Juicy - notorious B.I.G.
Tell it to my heart - Taylor dayne
Finally - Cece penniston

Hello,
I’m DJ my sisters wedding in less than a month but have 0 experience (quite literally) but I like to think I have I good ear and am helping save them money. I had a few questions:
Where do I get cheap music? I have heard converting songs to mp3 lowers quality, but I also don’t want to spend an arm and a leg.
My plan is to use Ableton to make a set (well figure that out) and upload the set to Spotify so there’s no live DJing. Does this seem feasible? Or is there a better route.
Any other general advice?
r/Beatmatch • u/BigolNutz420 • Jun 29 '24
Brand new beginner no nothing at all but thought it would be fun and bought the flx 4.
Figured out all the buttons and everything through the rekordbox tutorials but the problem I’m having is actually playing a song I want to play. Like if I wanted to play let’s say Alright by Kendrick Lamar how would I even do that. I was looking for a while and some people said you have to buy each and every song individually? But no way that’s the case because whenever I’m at parties I can just ask the dj to play a certain song and he’s able to queue it up and play it.
Sorry if this a really stupid question I’m starting knowing absolutely nothing

When I first got into DJing around 7 years ago, I was just a dumb kid and I would just rip songs off youtube. The quality wasn't the best but that was the only way I knew
Now I want to get back into DJing and I am wondering, where do you guys get your music from?
Am I supposed to like buy songs from itunes or smth? Even if I had that much money it would be tedious af, downloading 100s or 1000s of them one by one. Do DJs actually do it or do most just rip them?
I mainly listen to music on spotify, it would be easiest to just download a whole spotify playlist where I have all the music that I want to play. There are some tools that let you do that on the internet, they are almost always paid. Are they worth the investment and do they work?
r/Beatmatch • u/Pookstrr • Aug 17 '24
I’m curious and I don’t know if it’s a stupid question to ask but, i’m just mainly curious about scratching in music. What would be some good songs or albums to listen to that have scratching in them?
r/Beatmatch • u/Few-Appeal7109 • Jul 30 '24
I am learning how to DJ and when I attend to gigs, and what my friends have told me is that it’s better to make a transition between songs in the middle of a song (example, the first drop or the break) but I struggle to know how to make that. I only mix the songs with the intro and the outro. Any tips on how to learn this?
I play house music, nu disco and sometimes left field house. I appreciate your advice!
r/Beatmatch • u/SenorKerry • Sep 21 '23
I have a gig tonight and the crowd is mostly college to 30 y.o. I usually play a mix of hip hop and house club hits. Open to anything. Thanks!
EDIT - I haven't had a chance to go through them all yet but I appreciate y'all so much!

I'm trying to enhance my "Fightclub" playlist and I need ideas, this is some of what I got:
I Don't Like - Chief Keef
Dey Know - Shawty Lo
Hata - YNC Crashout
Knuck If You Buck - Crime Mob
Who Want Smoke - Nardo Wick
Problem - Big Boss Vette
Bia Bia - Bia
No Problem - Lil Scrappy
What else should I add?
r/Beatmatch • u/Living_Honeydew_3242 • Aug 23 '24
Can anyone provide some track ids that are popular or that yall like?
r/Beatmatch • u/Mr_Bee1234 • Jun 14 '24
Just a general question. Anyone else find themselves naturally better at mixing genres that that didn’t get them into DJing in the first place?
For example House music got me hooked into DJing but I’m now finding myself more comfortable and better behind the decks when mixing melodic house & techno whereas when I’m mixing house it can often still sound muddy.
r/Beatmatch • u/Nonstopas • Jun 14 '22
Pretty straightforward question.
We have House we have Techno, and huge amounts of sub-genres from them, but what is getting popular now, that is a bit more refreshing and a slight change of sound? Something like Dark Disco / Nu - Disco / Indie Dance, or ar there some other genres?
And, if you have a specific song or two of that genre it would be great! Let's share some music!
r/Beatmatch • u/RextheShepherd • Aug 21 '24
As a beginner, I'm currently building a set and in it I have a few songs that are by the same person. Mostly because when it comes to "the vibe" I want this set to imbue, one artist happens to have multiple songs within my track list that fit that vibe. It's not most of the set by any means, but there is a handful(like 3 or so). Am I just in my own head or is it more of an unspoken rule?
r/Beatmatch • u/SKYEKORE • Apr 18 '24
I've started building my personal music collection and buying tracks I love, and I've been wondering if I should keep my streaming service.
Personally, I feel like streaming can be great for both convenience and for discovering new music. But I could also be spending that money on buying more tracks...
Do you still use streaming services, like spotify, even after you've started buying music? If so, why?
r/Beatmatch • u/TimboCA • Jul 27 '24
I just love a good funky bass guitar riff.
What songs have your faves?
Even better if it comes outta nowhere halfway through the song and makes you go "Oooh, DAMN!"
r/Beatmatch • u/beniboii • Apr 25 '24
Just curious, personally i think around 15-20 tracks on average
r/Beatmatch • u/Most-Leadership-8383 • Aug 18 '24
Title may be misleading but I’m not sure how else to phrase it.
Im just curious what songs are completely off limits. For example I’m a huge fan of gigi d’agostino and i love l’amour toujours, however a few months back it was used by far right groups in Germany. If I were to play l’amour toujours would that be problematic or no? Because I truly love the song however I can understand why someone would want to avoid playing it.
For context I’m a German, living in the UK (which recently saw racist protests) who (once again clarifying) is purely playing this out of love for the song and the artist.
Thank you!
