So, I have been 'dj'ing' for about a year now and doing some re-edit's/learning music theory and I finally got my first paid gig.
I've done probably 2 house parties a month since I started and I have a good sense of what 18-25 year olds like to dance to...outside of that I can only guess from watching other dj's, so should I just stick to the music I know gets 'my crowd' going?
About the spotlight....So this new club opened up in our small college town (10,000) people. Its legit too, I've been to some bigger clubs in the twin cities and chicago and this is right up there, lighting is awesome, all new EV powered speakers throughout and its st. paddy's day weekend. My set is 11pm-2pm friday.
So I'm closing on my opening set, either I'll exceed everyones expectations or fail but I've been practicing a set list which I normally don't do so knowing almost every fade in/out point should help right?
I've finished a bunch of my edited mashups too so atleast I don't have to do those live, you can check them out.
