As a DJ do you have any Do's and Dont's?

[Dups]

then start break dancing

Oh so guilty.

[malzfreund]

Do's:
Keep it real
Have fun
Stay in practice on CDJs
Pay for music
Go listen to other DJs... both for inspiration and to return the favor of them listening to me.

Don'ts:
Buy any tracks w/ the word Ibiza in them or the release
Buy any tracks w/ the word Vuvuzela in them
Forget good tracks, even if they're a bit dated (this one is hard)

gotta give you props for these!

Don't like to play old shit, but maybe it all depends on the type of crowd/club..

Yea I agree, white suburbia around here, besides it's fun to mix oldies into tracks... Yea, I don't just roll old songs, I mix'em ;P

[minimal]

do:
-Double check your gig bag
-Take a crap before your set (shit/shower/shave preferably in that order)
-If u can't have sex, then wank
-bring snacks and a big bottle of H2O
-bring the ipod for the possible/impossible crash.
-smoke weed (sorry all u weed haters out there but pot really makes for better music, just gotta concentrate harder cos, yeah, the attention span is kinda short)

Don't
-Smoke weed before you set up
-Look at your computer screen all the time (that's fuckin such a turnoff)
-scowl like yur taking a crap (like all those DJ pics on beatport)

I actually made a thread about this a while back. When the World Cup was going on like 10 Vuvuzela tracks a day were coming out. :eek:

[farhanashraf]

i do whatever feels right

i dont care if 1 person is unhappy as long as the majority of the crowd is bumping
