youre reminded of mixing while you try to keep the speedo exactly on the sped limit (beatmatching. believe of the pedal as the pitch fader, the needle as deck b and the speed limit as deck a)

25.12.2011		You know you're a DJ when...

you beatbox/sing a different song over the one currently playing to see if it would sound good when you mix them.

you try and mentally calculate the bpm of a new song that you find catchy.

you recognize the artist of a song even if you've never heard the song before just based on the sounds.
