Coaching notes
- Continue to trust your patience; the long-form storytelling is world-class.
- Experiment with very subtle field recordings or non-musical textures to further enhance the 'journey' aspect.
- Ensure the transition into the next DJ (or the next phase of your set) maintains this level of technical transparency.
- Experiment with manual loop manipulation to create unique rhythmic variations during long blends.
- Use subtle reverb sends on percussive elements to increase the sense of space.
- Consider a 'reset' moment—a brief period of near-silence—to heighten the impact of the next energy push.
