I am equal parts excited and nervous as heck about this. It’s a halloween party, costumes encouraged.
Most of the stuff I’m playing is house, electro, and mashups with pop tunes. I’ve got a decent little set started, so I guess we’ll see what happens.
I’ll be broadcasting it on LiveStream so I’ll post a link before hand.
How many songs do you guys typically burn through per hour when you’re DJing? I’m going for 2 hours, and I’m gonna let the tunes play as long as the people are feelin’ it. I’ve got about 20 to start me off on my journey, and if I need to, I’ll wing it from there.
Not planning on getting butt-house drunk, but I may have a few to ease my nerves a bit.
Wish me luck!
By the way, I’m doing this set in a screen-accurate Ghostbusters costume, complete w/ proton pack.
In terms of track count anywhere from 20-25 an hour for house. I generally get about 50 tracks for two hours on my mixes but YMMV - it all depends on the style of your mixing.
I do have one ghostbusters remix thrown in. I didn’t want to be too obnoxious with it…the outfit is obnoxious enough (I can barely get through doorways).
always try to have far too much in your playlist, minimal is good but if you have too little and the crowd isnt feeling what youre playing you need to change it quick, losing a dancefloor is easy, getting it back is the hard thing. so just be prepared for everything.
as for the beer… defo… i always have a few pints to calm my nerves
Me too. Followed by Thriller. Thatd be my last two tunes. Who ever was playing after me would have to forget about their deep house set and scramble for some bangers
