The other day I was at a party where they were playing pandora radio and after a couple of hours I decided I was going to plug up my pacemaker and try to get the party jumping. I start off doing my thing, starting with slower stuff (hip hop and latin jazz) that slowly gets faster towards house music. After a while one of my good friends came up to me and said we had to turn me off, and they plugged it into the lady gaga station on their PC. It was a little disappointing.
I'll provide some back story, I have been mixing in my spare time for the last year and a half, I had never done anything for a crowd of people before, but I am good enough to not have obvious mistakes like beat matching and phase matching. Yet, no one really understood what I was trying to do, or what I was trying to play.
What is the lesson I should take away from this? That I should be prepared to throw more lady gaga in to my mixes?
