So, conceptually, using these rough rules and some of the tracks I have loaded on this machine... A theoretical progression (albeit, going the wrong way on the Camelot circle, I guess going clockwise is better than reverse clockwise).

Bee Gees - Stayin Alive - 104.38 F#m
Speedometer - Jungle fury - 104.0 A
Sly and the Family Stone - Thank you - 104.8 A
ABBA - Knowing Me, Knowing You 105.3 D
Dave Matthew Band - Crash - 105.7 G
Velvet Underground - Sweet Jane 105.8 D
Dire Straits - Southbound Again 106.8 G
Pick Up The Pieces - 107.0 E flat

    Random (as I often am)...

    Okay, so it seems like the principle behind the (basic) DJ thing (as far as I have been able to gather in 12 hours 🤪) is: 1. have a lot of tracks to pick from that match whatever genre you are DJ'ing 2. Come up with a playlist an order where you are progressing through the tracks you want to play for whatever time, that your BPM and key progressions are appealing and ebb and flow depending on what you are doing.

    i.e. what songs are you going to play in what order, they need to be reasonably close in BPM so you can shift the BPM to move up and down in terms of tempo to the next song. And, each song needs to not be harsh and glaring when you fade between them... unless it's a clean break.

    (anyway, I don't know a thing about this 😂 The only DJs I have run into are some awful ones at weddings who maybe don't do a thing about any of this but just play all the songs people requested for the wedding, lol... even if they don't match up. vs. a club. Never stepped into a club in my life.)
