Hit Shuffle | Zouk Mixtape

Energy 3-7 | 78-84 BPM

A trick with dealing for the DJ equivalent of writer's block: remove song selection from the process.

As part of my music discovery pipeline, I have a big Spotify playlist (currently 33 hours) where I put anything even remotely Zoukable that I might want to use for DJing. The music selection process for this set involved clicking shuffle on that playlist and grabbing the first 15 songs it spit out, then arranged and trimmed to this final grouping of 11 songs. I'm both proud and annoyed at how well it turned out given that I didn't *really* have any agency in picking these tracks...
