First gig! How should I play?!
First gig! How should I play?! Posted on: 02.12.2012 by Agripina Ezzell Hello fellow DJs! I got my first gig coming up soon, and I've been DJing for a while, I feel quite confident in mixing etc, however, I don't know in what way I should be playing, I'm going to try and describe it as good as possible! In most songs, there are buildups etc, but most of the crowd seem to just want "the rave part" with the melody and so on, however, to mix just these parts, does not sound good in my opinion, the music needs the bridges and the buildups to complete, so, should I play my way, bring the buildsups, like a DJ that performs on tomorrowland for example, or should I just mix in "the rave part". How do you clubDJs do, because I'm going to play at a clublike location, however, I'm not 18, so I cannot go to a club and watch other DJs yet. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear, also, sorry for my poor english! Sincerely, Quist. | |
| Era Roka 02.12.2012 | 1. If everything is "rave" that means the is no "rave" 2. If you only play the 32 rave beats then you're gonna run out of songs very quickly But by the way the answer is no, and i personally don't believe you're asking a stupid question. Just remind that one of the most important parts is confidence(ok that not compleatly true ), so if you're sure your ready i'll sugest you just rock that crowd man! |

| Zulma Ramji 02.12.2012 | well how can you feel confident in mixing if you ask this question... listen to other people's mixes and performances on youtube - im sure it will answer some questions. but its really not a good idea to have a gig lined up when you don't know how to mix. learn first, then play out. |
