A taste of crowd control....
A taste of crowd control.... Posted on: 28.10.2013 by Alecia Soulliere Just wanted to share my first real DJ experience with you all:So this weekend was my first unofficial "gig." A buddy of mine threw a halloween party and asked me if I would DJ for it so I figured why not, it wouldn't be a tough crowd anyway. So I went early and set up everything for the evening and did some sound tests and arranged speakers and what not. What I didn't realize was that he invited so many people So I played my iPod until everyone arrived and then started my set. As the evening went, my nerves subsided a bit and I started to get more and more confident in my mix. Gauging people's reactions, it was going well and before I knew it, the entire basement was packed with people. Now I know this wasn't a huge crowd (about 40 people) but this was my first taste of actually performing, and I have to say the feeling of controlling a crowd and seeing people react so positively to what you are doing is quite an awesome one! | |

| Galen Fraile 29.10.2013 | Awesome dude sick feeling when your mix is being well received at a party like that, generally those are the toughest crowds anyway |
| Jetta Drenzek 28.10.2013 | I was a light jock at a club, DJ needed the toilet, showed me the basics. I started practicing and then bam, one evening he asked if I wanted to take over for 15 minutes whilst he chatted up some girl and I just went and smashed it for half an hour, worked my way in that way. |
