| Anja Ursprung 02.01.2013 | Hi, In the end I had an great gig, but with huge amont off stress before. I work in a swiss alp restaurant with a great after ski bar, where I play anything I want, deep/funky/tech/club house, nu disco, disco edits. At NYE we try to turn the restaurant in to a evening club. We start the evening with dinner, around 120 people. Then at 12, we push everyone out for a firework and in 20 minutes we clear all the tables and I set up the sound and the dj both, all cabling are prepared before dinner. But still a lot of stress. The dj both is just a table where people was eating before. I small light rig was installed. So its 12 o clock and im stressing like hell to connect it all. On my computer, mac, I run Tractor, MyDMX (DMX light program) and with windows running a live streaming program to the local radio station. Everything is connected and it works, my table / dj both looks like shit with cables everywhere. I look to my right and I see a guy I seen before a lot is sitting at my table, Bono from U2, like 2 meter away!!! I was believeing, my dj both look so crapy :-( Anyway Bono and he's family is great, very polite. Our idea for NYE was to play very cheese, like all the top hits ever made. But I started kind of deep club music and people went crazy. The response was amazing. So I continued with that and had I great gig to 5 am. But I do wish a took a picture with Bono. Peace and Love |

slot on Nu-Rave Radio for a special edition of my show 'This Is Our House'. Had a great time, dropped some of the top Future Jungle & Rave Breaks of 2012, no House as per usual at all funnily enough. 2013 is going to be a big year for Future Jungle/Rave Breaks, really getting more and more exposure, a lot of the UK Dubstep & D&B peeps moving across or putting out remixes in this vein. Anyway if you fancy some nice underground Future Jungle/Rave Breaks in the mix, please feel free to listen to This Is Our House with Lofty on Nu-Rave Radio NYE2012 show: https://soundcloud.com/lofty78/this-is-our-house-with-lofty http://futurejungle.blogspot.co.uk/2...y-nye2012.html |
| Jonas Hanway 02.01.2013 | DJ'd at the club I'm resident DJ of. Was brilliant. Night started off slow but by 11pm it was rammed. Brought in the New Year with a voice over Don't You Worry Child and when it kicked in, the club pyrotechnics went off and the place just exploded. Had 2 power cuts at around 1.30am which was no fun at all, no music for 5 minutes or so, came back on and then went off again for another 5 minutes, absolute evening mare scenario! Felt like crying. Just so happy it didn't happen at midevening . |
| Delfina Suedmeyer 01.01.2013 | mine went very well. got the freedom to play anything i wanted and the crowd went along. we have different group of friends that listen to different types of house. some are dancers, ragers, and some are hip hop heads. so, i went all over the place from progressive, deep, bass, disco, trap, electro, and dubstep. can't complain on anything atm. |
| Hipolito Scionti 01.01.2013 | Probably one of the best and most enjoyable sets I've played in a long while, I came on after Bill Brewster and played 3-5am and kept it deep but jumping. Wicked crowd, wicked sound system (funktion one). Loved it |
| Deangelo Boender 01.01.2013 | Another dj and I were supposed to trade off from midevening until four. He got on at twelve, and when I got on at 12:30 he mumbled something in my ear that ended with "Have a nice evening man" and that was the last I saw of him. I was kind of pissed that he dipped out and left me to go the whole evening , but we got shut down for too many fights and too much noise at two anyway. The crowd loved it while it lasted, so it was a good evening . |
| Jenna Skeem 01.01.2013 | started at 9 finished at 5 in the morning. people coming into the kioth when i was drunk touching my stuff cause they used to "dj in the club 20 years ago". got fed up by 1 and couldn't give a shit after that. |

The more you play out the better you are at reading crowds. The right song at the right time will always outperform a technically perfect set. but it dont hurt to do both :P |

, started a tad early because people were eager for music , so began playing at around 9:30 and finished sometime around 2 to let some other DJ finish off the evening
. The only thing I can see that went wrong was a girl who kept coming into my booth asking for "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore every fifteen minutes. |
| Rubye Feicht 01.01.2013 | The people at my gig were so drunk they screamed "yeah dubstep!" when I played some funk for them for shits and giggles. Lovely crowd, just wanted them further away from my table with all their damn champagne. |
| Antonetta Wikel 01.01.2013 | Nothing like gaining experience through a "trial by fire". The best, most accelerated way to learn. |
| Elizabet Sledz 01.01.2013 | I dunno if it counts, but I got thrown in the deep end for work, and had to do lighting OP for a rock/pop concert =P. Most lighting experience I've had is in small theatres, and this was for a crowd of a few thousand in a park (I believe it hit 15k at one stage). Different kind of gig, but still fun. |
| Antonetta Wikel 01.01.2013 | Mine went flawlessly but it was in my loft so it should've. |
| Marybelle Parden 01.01.2013 | I had one and ended up with a beer-soiled monitor and cables getting ripped out of my gear. :L |
