Recommended Posts

Did an 18th last night. Around 60 people which is a reasonable amount for a house party. Went from 7 till 12. Played mostly remixes of top 40, some trance, electro, moombahton and a bit of dubstep. Got a few compliments on equipment and mixing so I'm happy with that and the head caterer gave me her card and told me to call her on Monday if I want to do some gigs for them, which is epic considering I didn't shower for 3 days, started 30 min late and drank most of the night.

I didn't get any pictures but their starting to surface on fb, hopefully I should be able to get the ones the bar wench took when the night started taking off.

You can't see much, but i had 2 12 inch speakers, 2 dynalabs hifi speakers (that were better than the pa's in every single aspect) I brought my turnies over, one died, but I still tried beatmaching with 1. It now have great respect for old school scratch dj's, but I'm not sure its exactly for me.

Had my first gig last night, a mates 21st

got there round 8, was set up and started playing round 830. Started the night with progressive house, and gradually built up the set into more recognizable tracks.

after speeches i dropped all the big tracks, had everyone dancing,

had lots of people complimenting me throughought the night, had a few people tell me they'll give me a buzz next time they need a DJ, which is cool for me :)

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

at about 11:30 some chick spilt a drink on one of my decks, which stopped the reverse button from working so now that CDJ is stuck in reverse :| which obviously meant i couldnt play anymore... so i stopped DJin at about 11:30 and just left one CDJ on and used it like an ipod.

overall, awesome night up until 11:30

now im just praying it will dry out and be useable

Free blow jobs for life?

I can't remember who, but this happened to another member. In the end I think he put it upside down in a container of uncooked rice to help draw out the moisture.

haha, yeah that was me.

It worked, but now a few months down the track I'm having some issues. I'd reccomend getting it professionally looked at.''

fucking bishes.

mate who plays at an RSL last night asked if i wanted to come have a mix, so happily went along.

everyone had been to the races earlier in the day so the joint was pretty busy.

started Djing at 10:30, but before us there was some old bloke singing opera and ballads and shit right before us, so as soon as we start, put some bangers on to get all the oldies to go to the bar/home, and all the young peeps to the dance floor.

Then just took it in turns doing half hour mini sets each. IMO i mixed better than him lol. he just keeps hot cueing an acapella drop in the song then hot cues it back to the first drop when the first song finishes for every transition (and he is one of the 'better' DJs in the area :? ).

I was mixing like a baws, bringing songs in and 2-3 mins and mashing vocal drops with songs and shit which kept the crowd going all night, was the best mixing i've done at a gig yet.

Only thing that shitted me was they kept requesting songs 10 mins after we played em. but you get that alot up here.

Manager normally gets DJ to finished at around 1:30, but let me go til around 2 which was sweet. :D
