There is a new club in my city and i went there to ask if i can dj there. I told then that i will play warp/rephlex stuff and they want me to give them a "demo set" tomorrow and i`m really nervous about that. Any good advices? |
||||||||

Just do it! There is nothing to loose and everything to win! |

|
picture them all in their underwear that solves any and every problem |
||||||||

yeah it`s easy to say but when you see 3 people siting 3meters from you and watching every little thing you do you become very nervous...and then it`s easy to fuck something up... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh...why don't you just record a demo at home? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SHOULD'VE THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE!! :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
the problem is i study 100km away from that place:) |

Ok... What do you spin then, vinyl or cd's? If you actually have to appear at the club to do a set for them, I would have a very confident attitude and just play some really catchy tracks for them that is not too hard to mix. They pay much less attention to what you do than you fear and if they hire you you're audience will be a bunch of drunk or/and druged people so they won't give a toss as long as you feed them some funky shit... Watch out for the nerds tho! |

I spin vinyl and i think that mixing Aphex Twin (or other warp/rephlex stuff) is hard melody and tempo change 3or4 times per track . THX for advice |
||||||||

|
|
you'll be fine For the demo just put the most crowd pleaseing tracks you can think of and when you actually perform go wild =oD |
||||||||

|
|
Good luck, man! I'm confident that you'll pull it off! :) |

Accept that you'll fuck up at some point and move on from it. If they are such fucks that they will not make allowances for your nervousness, then they do not deserve to have you playing at their club. |

So I have played my set! They told me that technicaly it was ok BUT it was too hard..:( fuck!!! thay prefer chillout stuuf and they told me that stuff that i played was goood but too experimentral...I really tried to play songs that are catchy and popular and gentle (windowlicker, nannou , jurney ) but to them they were too complex!! fuck! why all clubs prefer 120bpm chillout shit? why can`t promote good music? |
||||||||
|

|
Ask them for another try and play good music then. I mean you were playing tunes that where at least 5 years old...come on...you could have done better than that. Unlucky anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why'd they let you play if they didn't like that type of music? |
||||||||
|

|
Open your own club called the Soggy Shoelace and play your nut rock chit there meng! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its simple, unfortunatly the masses arent attracted to it, and that means less money for the club. keep at it tho, why not start you own evening at a venue? thats what i did... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Because they probably didn't know what Warp/Rephlex shit was. :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good call. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Don't go. |

to me good music is a good music i don`t care if it`s old and i told them that i will play warp/rephlex. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i might my local London club 'Electrowerkz' if i can dj warp/rephlex shit for them. |
||||||||
|

No but a brand new club would want to be seen as modern and trendy, and 5 year old IDM isn't really going to give that image. You would have been better playing shitty more commerical stuff to get yourself in there and then gradually introduced the good stuff. :P |
||||||||

|
|
yeah that sounds as a good idea:) |
||||||||
|

Well, it's their loss and you still got a boost of confidence, didnt you? |
