Hi, I've just started DJing and for my first show I'm planning on writing down the order of songs I'm going to play in a long list, putting songs that I know go well together next to each other and writing little tips about where to change songs and mix. Does anyone else do this? Does this make me a "fake" DJ, just running through things on stage that I've already rehearsed? One side of me says that every rock band practices before they play live but the other side of me says that DJing should be more spontaneous. Note: I still drop in samples and effects live whenever I feel like it, the only thing I write down is the order of the songs.
Genuinely wondering, not trying to start an argument here.
