hmmm - obviously I've missed some of the finer moments of the 313 list
(wasn't around when this was discussed previously) - hehe!
experimental is fun, but sometimes it goes horribly wrong. the chipmunk
vocals, the scary point of tipping into that awful European hi-energy
beat range (you know the ones - songs that have half-naked girls on the
rekkid covers usually or some really buff dude topless) or the
too-slowed songs/vocals that sound like a scary drug trip. I think if
DJs use judgement & get creative great things can happen. It's good to
play around. There should be no limits.
trivia anyone? years back there was a mainstream radio station in NYC
that got complaints for playing pitched-up songs (to fit more in an
hour) so they stopped doing it. I think it was Z100?

Angola sounds wrong at less than +6. Heard it tonight at 0ish and it sounded
sh*t. Some Theo sounds wicked at +12. Some Jacek Sienkiewicz sounds great
at -6. Kunuyuki's 'Precious Hall' is criminally slow at less than +5. It
loses everything it needs at less than 125 BPM.
Most of your audience will not know your songs well enough to know that
vocals should be at a different pitch, and most bass will not suffer enough
to make a difference. Using +/-8 gives you a hell of a lot more room to work
when spinning less than 90 minutes. How are you going to cover any ground if
you stay within +4/-2 in a 60 minute set? That's completely limiting in my
opinion. Work that sh*t! :)
