這餅錄音帶 1987年我錄來學習用, 當我由 Party DJ 新轉做 Club DJ 時,
未熟習新做的 Disco環境, 需要看看我的 新Partner DJ (Deepson aka DJ Sum) 整晚怎樣運作 (佢放假時我替佢),
Beat Mixing 我已經很熟, DJ-ing 是再高一個層次, 打Party同 打Club 又很不同,
仍很多要學, 例如時間控制和舞池人數, 這餅帶有材料可以介紹.

先講一下舞池人數 #DJ_Tips :
由我在現場的細心觀察看到, 簡直係 人與西人並重, 每方比兩三首歌佢地開心下, 舞池人數入多出少, 氣氛很好, "最後一夜" 之後來首 "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now", 人與西人都能保留.

再講講時間控制 #DJ_Tips :
10x BPM 打上 11x BPM 再趺反落 10x BPM 再上過, DJ-ing課題 這款叫做 Riding The Waves Strategy.
每晚一個人打 5小時set, 一個好DJ係一定要用 strategy 分時間段, 21:30 開工係warm-up, 23:30 後先起 勁beat, 00:00 至 01:00 是高潮, 跟著看情況 cool down, 唔cool down 收工後就算停音樂 d客都唔願走 (初初控制得唔好 時常發生, 西人會照坐傾計, 真係做得出), 搵自己來攪! (之後要由 DJ 負責關門)
人就多數很識做, 我開咪say good night, 佢地會 say good bye, 有時會一齊拍掌 say good night 再稱讚下話好玩, 遇到這些客收工大家感覺都 very good!

Note:
比較一般的 Club DJ 可能一晚打 1 set由慢至快 一模一樣 打3次. 懶惰! 又見過有 DJ 由慢打上去快 再由快調轉相同的歌打番落來再重複. Mixing很好但完全沒有高潮!
打Party 2小時set 比較易打, 一味要 沖沖沖, 一開始11x BPM 盡快打上去 13x BPM 再上 14x BPM, high一兩下 時間就已經 o岩 o岩 好到喇!

If you love Macau's Portuguese Egg Tart you should already know his name, Andrew Stow (his voice at 16:38 ) was the disco manager back then and later in 1989 he opened the Lord Stow's Bakery and supplied us with the famous Portuguese Egg Tart in Macau.

找到這餅當年的開工錄音帶,
聽一聽, 間場很少打中文歌, 但點解這短時間可以打這麼多中文歌呢?
想一想, 應該是星期一, 當年有一段時期星期一是 Hotel Staff's Night, 即是員工無需比入場費,
飲品任飲, 不過就要自己比錢! :p

Staff Night 好好打, 個個都好配合 很易能做到 Party 氣氛.
佢地識做我都識做, 打多d中文歌囉!
