At the beach party last weekend I had the funniest thing happen. I was about halfway through my set and I pulled out a record to play. I started it up and noticed that the record looked warped. Cursing to myself, I grabbed another record and it looked like it was warped too!
At this point I was getting a little worried. Did a bunch of my records get warped? I pull off the second record and grab another. As I go to put it down on the turntable what do I see? A MOTH. Somehow the damn thing had slipped in there under the first record (not that hard since there were TONS of them out at the beach). Of course at this point there was no chance of me mixing into this track. Luckily, it was one that worked well to just start after a brief silence. It worked well and I'm starting to wonder if it would work to every once in a while drop a track that way. Let the song in front of it run out and let there be just a moment of silence before the next one starts. For some songs the effect would be amazing.
