Anyone else feel emotionally drained after a night of playing DJ?
Posted on: 28.05.2012 by Margie Pavell
Does any one else feel like there is a let down the next day? I got alot of positive feed back and felt good about the evening and my sets of 80s 90s rap and current styles of house. Maybe it's just the adrenaline is gone from the evening before. Although i do have a smile on my face

29.05.2012		Now suck it up and play REGULATE!
Lilliana Perris
29.05.2012		@OP....yeah bro. I feel ya!

If I play a 3 hour set...I am KNACKERED afterward.

1 hour and I am fine.

2 hours and I usually need a quite place to just gather my thoughts and come back to party mode.
When I am playing or gonna play, I am usually quite different (or so the GF's say).

I am still laughing having a good time, but my mind is elsewhere.

I believe someone mentioned this, but when you playing....you are performing. This does have a lot of your energy and soul in it.
Makes perfect sense that you will be drained after.

28.05.2012		I'm sure most people do, yes. And the better you perform, the more drained you will feel... it is part of the creative life-cycle.

28.05.2012		I'm still jamming, not nearly as serious as I was. Still love to pick up the old Ibanez once in a while though...

28.05.2012		I am 'high' on the set for about 30mins and then have a massive buzz crash - which is either hopefully by the time I hit the hotel and not when I'm driving to another show haha

28.05.2012		Every time.

haha

I feel you on that one. Im the same way with woman!
Celestine Porebski
28.05.2012		I probably do, but I'd blame it on the hangover from whatever substances.......and the sleep deprivation....
Margie Pavell
28.05.2012		i feel ya vanaema...kinda like opening yourself up - "i've taken the time to collect and listen to this music and i want to share it with you"
Edwina Fagel
28.05.2012		I feel like a empty balloon after finishing a mixtape. After finshing a set it's even worse.
It's like going trough memories, yeah I got this record from there, and that record from over there and after
its just like I have gone trough a emotional trip.
Tired, happy and empty.

28.05.2012		Feeling emotionally drained is a sign you have put your heart and soul into your set.
Unfortunately this emotional trough can often manifest itself in merciless self-analysis, which can be less than constructive....
Jerlene Jernegan
28.05.2012		I've only done a couple times live, really only one real gig, and I got this awesome rush that carried on for quite some time. I couldn't stop smiling and just kept jumping. Felt great. Can't wait to do it again.
Margie Pavell
28.05.2012		maybe thats what it is...still buzzin and tired...i believe i will be requiring an adult bevy...
Delila Vandommelen
28.05.2012		Just tired from staying up for hours on end, carrying the bags etc, but on a more or less mild buzz from the fun bits of the experience here.
