So I was originally slated to play just a 20 minute set while bands are setting up and this all day concert at my college (local/student bands mostly), as were a few other djs, but they have all since bitched out and now im basically playing house dj from 5 on! w00t! this will be the first set i have really played for people (i've pulled out my stuff at friends houses before, but thats just mostly been drunk dicking around, not spinning a proper set). it's still only 20 minute sets, but nevertheless i'm stoked! wishes me luck |

hope you dont fuck up too bad |

why is that what everyone keeps saying? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cause it's really embarrasing |
||||||||
|
|

|

Yeah, best of luck! Make sure to pack a fat wad of dip before you go on stage, it'll give you the confidence you need. |
||||||||

|
uh, no. but i've got spliffs to be rolled and a flask of some cheap scotch. how'd that work out for you anyway? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what will you play? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

good luck pal. a good tip if you've not done anything before might be to write a list of tunes you want to play ...and take a shit load more with you 'just in case'. it helps to have an idea of what you want to play. it's easy to forget shit when your buzzing with your set/crowds reaction (or when your nerves go!). after a while it's easy to do stuff on the fly. |

Still haven't gotten around to it. Last time I went to gas station, I saw who was working the counter and decided not to. Perhaps a pouch of TOP would suffice? |
||||||||

Just kidding. I don't care for nicotine rushes, really, I don't. Was just going to be an impulse thing. Let us know how it all works out for you, get'ur done! |

yeah, i do have a pretty good idea of what im gonna play - mostly the same kind of electro-house mashup stuff i've posted here before. and one of the sets ive really prepared ahead of time since i was originally just going to play that, but the other few 20 min sets im not too worried about - i've done enough spinning on the fly that i feel confident in rocking what crowd will be there. only a couple more hours! i'll prolly be headed up to campus soon. |

It'd better if you don't pretend to be a 'Superstar french Dj', just set a mood for the bands that are playing. Play some good music and calm down. |
||||||||

I'd be fucked off at that dour reply but he's right! |
||||||||
|

Dont get yourself drunk, that only messes things up...wait for the crowd to get drunk, then you can loosen up and have some real fun. |

hallo people. so yeah, the sets happened and it went pretty well, considering. every other dj who was supposed to spin the event bitched out at the last minute, so i ended up spinning four 20 minute sets, one each hour, from 5:40 until 9:00. all in all i was pretty pleased. the first set i played actually got a lot of attention from people who were around - at least three pretty hot girls came up to me afterward absolutely gushing about how awesome i am (totally a great feeling). but as the day progress, people just weren't around or something, because there was hardly anyone really appearing to enjoy the music. i was almost ready to not even bother playing my last set (the one i had meticulously prepared for my original one set) after being discouraged by the lack of interest during the last two, but a few friends showed up to give me some encouragement. by this time it was dark and my friend who had organized the event had passed out glow sticks, and people had been pushed towards the front of the stage for the first time all day (there had been a space of about 20 feet between the stage and the audience throughout the rest of the day). the last one went down really well - it had a big opening and i will be posting an extended version very soon. also, i must say, it was a really great learning experience. my friend who is the head of tech at my school looked at the sound they had set up and was a bit discouraged, so we went and hooked up the two 2400 watt subs to the system, and man oh man, finally hearing myself play with a big system like that was invigorating to say the least. i learned how much different it is spinning in your room and keeping the energy of a crowd up (biggest thing: no more long bass cuts!) even though i only played for about 25 minutes at a time. i'll be spinning a big graduation party at a mate's house next thursday to celebrate the end of finals and i feel exponentially more confident in my abilities now. |

i've been djing (on my laptop mind you, this isn't turntables, all in ableton) since the beginning of last summer about, and have finally gotten to the point where i have enough material and have practiced enough that i feel comfortable playing live. and i'll be posting a torrent of a re-edit of the last set very soon, without the time constraints and the guys from the band yelling at me that they are ready to play. |

sorry i meant at the graduation party |
||||||||
|
|

|

so the graduation party was last night and it was a total blast! i started the night off with a bit of dubstep, then worked in some justice, calvin harris, chromeo, vitalic - lots of electro-funk. it was mostly a smaller group of friends (around 15) but as the night got on more people showed up, including a number who asked if i ever spin out anywhere. i would have loved to have chatted with them more but people have a tendency to want to talk during particularly intricate transitions. all in all, i started at 10:30 and kept going till about 1 am when a couple friends came over and told me i deserved to take a break, which was entirely true. after that long of constant djing, drinking, and smoking weed, my brain felt like absolute mush. i kept seeing grids of tracks from ableton everywhere and was speaking in half tongues ("dude, that was completely blaaarrrwwl. fooo."). i couldn't have imagine it being more fun though, having a crowd of people really enjoying the music i was spinning for them, and thanking me and i return thanking them. and considering this is the third time i have djed live in the last few weeks, i will hopefully be doing lots more soon :D |
