I've been mixing for about a year now, I've had my good share of experience playing at raves and I was recently picked up by a pretty major local entertainment label which is booking me a few club openers in the near future so I had a few questions!
How different is it playing in a club, and what things should I know in advance? I play with a pretty large amount of energy and I interact with the crowd as much as possible, but I'm worried that I'm not going to be able to keep interest of the crowd, which unlike at a rave, aren't guaranteed to dance to your music.
Is it possible to successfully play prerehearsed sets in a club? For any notable events I play at I usually plan out a set in advance to play, but given the necessity of crowd reading at clubs I'm assuming that it's something I should avoid. EDIT: After reading a bit on this, I'm thinking that having a few planned out sets (3-4) songs and being able to transition in to other sets is probably the best idea
I want to make sure I'm on my A-game going in to this, so any tips and other forms of advice would be super appreciated!
