Today's classes

Coming off BC37, today I started mixing for my Sat classes and I certainly had a lot of fun doing it. When I was a participant doing BC, one of the things which I looked forward most to a class was the anticipation of which track the instructor would play.

I like doing new releases but not for too long as it get boring. And sometimes I also don't like instructors who play the tracks from the entire release as I like being kept in suspense. But then again, sometimes I'm guilty myself of playing the entire release - BC25/BC28/BC30/BC34.

For the morning STC class, I decided to go retro! I chose tracks from N&G days, and it felt really good. I enjoyed doing them very much as it's been so long since I did those tracks. Some of the members clearly enjoyed doing the old tracks, it was easy and there were lotsa opportunities to shout along. I was talking to Wei Li, who also attended the class, she quite liked the old songs too. Scooter and all those europop haha.

For the afternoon PP class, I decided to choose the crowd favourites from the 20s releases. Not N&G but D&R's tracks. Particularly enjoyed doing If I Were You and The 6th Gate. Maybe my fitness levels has dropped ever since I became a weekend warrior, but I barely made through 'The 6th Gate' in my usual swashbuckling style. This MT is freaking siong.

So we had a few mins to spare and I walked to my ipod and just mumbled over the mic, "we have time for one more, shall we do something from the new release?"

That was when I heard a murmur in the crowd "Sea of Love". It was so rare to hear that from anyone, especially the PP crowd. Of course I duly obliged. Sea of Love is definitely going to be a perennial favourite. I can almost guarantee that.
