Mad_Cyril I’ve just culled my collection down from 13,000 to 8,100 and there’s very little chance of me remembering all those by vibe ie.
time of night
whether they have vocals
are uplifting
anthemic
deep
driving
sentimental
tribal
ritualistic
intelligent opener
have a really special moment
or a closer
Most of my tracks have multiple of the above ticked, and when I am mid-set in a club and know where I want to take it use the filter button on CDJs to serve up the few tracks inside a large playlist by, for example, Special Moment + Vox + Anthem! tags (or other combos) - the CDJ throws back manageable amount of results that really land right at the exact moment it would work.
I tend to think of the playlists as the “What” genre (PRG-DRV or DEEP TECH) and the tags as the “Why” I would play these tracks now.
I only started using it 3 years ago, whilst my intuition tends to be on the button - my memory isn’t - there’s no way I can remember about 80% of my collection by name - and it has definitely been worth the effort.
