Reply to How do you keep the peak energy in your set going? How long should it go for?

I'm preparing for a gig I have on the 4th of January, and I did a practice set toevening . What I have happily become attuned to is my song selection, and being able to build the energy. But what I realized I have a problem with is keeping that energy going.

How do you keep the energy going when you transition banger to banger? I was mixing giant dance bangers and what I've been doing is mixing the next songs build up or some part before the drop right when the last songs drop ends. But with the song I'm mixing out of, there is usually some giant breakdown, which totally kills the energy. I tried mixing where the next songs drop started just as the last one ended, but it didn't feel right. Maybe I was doing it weird. idk.

How long should that peak energy go for? I imagine there's a general limit that a crowd can take.

Thanks.
