Friday Hip-Hop Club Cycle 2

Week 1: Choosing Effects

Program Description:

Weekly Goal & Lesson: Much like life itself, sometimes when we’re learning about all the things we can do in DJing, we create too much music needed for the track; this can cause listeners stress and disengagement. When we add too many layers, transitions or effects to our music, the feeling you intend to imply through the song can be forgotten and “spoken over” due to the overwhelming amount of sounds being projected. 

Activity: Youth will pick a selection of effects to use in their mix & present a certain feeling to listeners – listeners will give feedback on how they felt while listening; did it align with what the DJ was trying to express?
