Buck_Choi Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 ive been asked to dj byfriends of friends Lolbut ive rejected them all. its been for a school formal and a birthday party at some hall/venue. haha i feel bad but i would feel worse if i went there to dj and fucked it up since ive havent even made any mixes yet. LOLWhat should i do if i do get asked ?? haha i dont want to stuff up something so special to someone and them hating me for it. Discuss did i make the right choice? or should i do it any way and get the experience and stuff them all HAHa Quote
Broken Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 To be honest, if its for a formal or a birthday party, i would say no one really case THAT much about how well you mix,(well i mean you cant be terrible, but it wont matter if you wreck a few of them), i would say all you need to do is play all the tunes requested, no matter how utterly shit they may be and keep a few big obvious tunes (eg riverside) at the ready incase things get quite.Aslong as you dont play minimal or trance for 5 hours straight i think it will be a successi would have taken them, good experience and free stuff or money for doing something you enjoy Quote
Buck_Choi Posted November 11, 2009 Author Posted November 11, 2009 haha but they are like friends of friends i dont want to be walking around and people be talking about me saying that i was shit LOL haha any way. i heard they dont have gear already there. and i dont want to bring my own gear. haha i want to. but i feel bad... its this friday.

ChevChelios Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 These people aren't even gonna know if your mixing well or not. As long as you have some good tracks it should be fine and its good experience, I say take it. Quote
Buck_Choi Posted November 11, 2009 Author Posted November 11, 2009 im finding out if they have the gear already there we'll see Quote
Broken Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 If you have to bring your own gear you could probably ask for more cash, just make it out like its a hugggggge effort! Quote
CBG Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Find out what they expect from the night. If they say they want some "bangin set, that sends them on a harmonic journey through wonders of dance music"... then don't do it lol.But if they say, "yeah whatever man, play that sexy bitch song man!! ill give you a copy, off that onelove album I downloaded off limwire!!" then do it lol. formal is risky, cus it'll be an entire school and you'll have adults and teachers observing. def b'day parties though.

Buck_Choi Posted November 11, 2009 Author Posted November 11, 2009 haha yeah formal passed already. bday party this friday lOL. i dont even think they have speaklers there!! :S haha if i had more time to get requests it would be alot better LOL tomorrows thusday so i think its a no go. Quote
JonnyB Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 yah dude do that party for sure, i did my first party last week. i fucked up a few times (due to being more fucked up then the people dancing to my set haha) but it was all in good fun. we just had a laugh, i corrected and it was all cheers.actualy come to think of it the 2 times i only realy fucked up was because of mates jumping behind the decks with me and just mashing the play button. couldnt get angry but because they were good mates.bastards hahabtu yeah go for it man. nothing to lose Quote
JonnyB Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 also, ask if you can bring a few mates along, so you got some people to chill with. always good to have people you jknow their Quote

Buck_Choi Posted November 11, 2009 Author Posted November 11, 2009 hehe thats the point. if i do shit as my first impression then its game over without even starting !? Quote
JonnyB Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 yeah dude dont worry to much man, its just a party. and if you dont play good, just blame the alchole/drugs.and remember. a bear always eats an hour before it snooz's and an ant walks up to 400 meters a day Quote

CBG Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 lol, that was wack.umm, well do you have ne practice in analogue mixing?This is the quality of a set you would expect to hear in your average club: October Demo (analogue mix) by Chris Gould Now, you should be up to this standard if you want to do serious gigs like that formal, IMO anyway.Find out what gear they have and what they expect. Why dont you do some simple wedding style mixing for this event, then work on getting yourself to the standard referred to above.Oh and I'm not calling myself awesome, I just think I could comfortably walk into a club and produce a quality set.
