Dude! That's such a great attitude. One of the biggest piece's of advice when it came to hosting parties I've received, that I haven't been able to put in practice as of yet was this: Never aim to have such a huge party to begin with, if you can aim to please 50people and nail it, that's better than aiming to please hundreds to thousands and disappointing them all.

ThatPartyGuy Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 you'll constantly keep learning, which i find the be great.messing up is nothing to worry too much about, its a way to move forward and become a better DJ (as corny as the sounds)glad to hear you've already on the paid gigs and loving it Quote
eggssell Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 arrrr welcome mategood to hear small school house parties still going. when we was young we would go out and hire dj eqip (turnies, speakers, lights, smoke machines) and have parties in garages. pretty much every weekend it was someones bday. and everyone who wanted to would get up and have a go. I used to cart my crate of records around on skateboards from when I was about 13 to 16.as we got older things got a little more organised and some people started owning their own these dj toys sorry I mean cdjs and we would rent houses in the blue mountains or out in the sticks. take all the furniture out and have full dance parties. I can still remember one that had a high energy room, a chill trance room, and a stoner grunge room. Quote

Kodiak Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 well before you were born Thems was good days. The eye opening experience of my first rave back before they recruited the fun police. Quote
