Playing at retteketetteket – context

In #retteketetteket the experience of the listener/viewer is 1st. We as DJ’s are just furniture in their experience, not the centre point of attention, so there will be low light setting while playing. Its ok to get creative in every sense, just keep in mind to leave your ego or Clout out of your performance and focus on the listeners/viewers experience.

We’re catering to people that are returning from their big night out or are going to a psychedelic adventure. We embrace the crazy and misfits of humans and musically, so if you feel that record “is just too weird and doesn’t fit” be sure to play it :). If you need to get a feel of what we are trying to do at #retteketetteket go and watch any “Mayan Warrior” sets from burning man. Example Benchmark

Your show doesn’t need a buildup nor an ending unless you feel like it, we’re not stopping and starting anything, we keep the flame going, your show is just another wave.
Take some risk ! We’d rather see a human happy mistake than a robot safe set. You can always come back later and do it agiannn.

Some shows have themes, like “underwater”, “The French touch”, “Villa Organica” etc, check-in in advance what this weeks theme is. You can use it to influence your tracklist but its not mandatory.

You can’t play commercial songs, however… sometimes its needed to explain your set or inspiration, its ok to open or end your set with such a song, just be aware that if you do not remix it properly, it will be muted by Facebook / other streaming platforms.

Try to stay away from ambient/tech/garage/dubstep and any songs over 125BPM, they do not match with the expectations of listeners we are catering too.
