Playlists

Obsolete This article or the information contained in it is old and quite possibly faulty. Sort of like our cruft. Please update.

A major component of any party is the composition of the playlist, since listening and dancing to music constitutes one of three major activities at EC parties (the other two being getting wasted and chatting). Currently, playlists for parties and other major events are handled by Josh and Charles, with suggestions. Charles tends to be responsible for the inclusion of remixes and mash-ups, and Josh Michael tends to be responsible for the music that actually sounds good techno.

The playlist for the upcoming yet-to-be-fully-planned Spring 2009 party is titled I Will Destroy Everything You Hold Dear.

Ostcampus Überfest

Things Charles learned:

1. Test crossfading thoroughly; sometimes it's too much, and sometimes it's not nearly enough.
2. Run soundcheck or have someone DJing to level sound out.
3. Avoid tracks with long pauses or "amorphous" segments (e.g. Galvanize)
4. MP3s that are made from FLACs are also made from FAIL.
