basically, i will talk my nerves down. just think...hey i am playing the music i love for the people. playing live is an opportunity to connect to the people. i have my first "flyer gig" coming up, and i was thinking to just have fun. it is a chance of a lifetime to do what you love. i like to think of it as finally making it, and nobody is gonna fuck that up except for me. so have a great time;
- get a blowjob from a pretty lady.
- drink some beer
- have fun (doin what u love)

..hopefully this made sense...

to mentaly prepare yourself I think it's good to listen to some funky/jazzy/classical/chill out/ smooth music a tad that day .... instead of spending the whole time dj-ing just to practice before the set, or listening to many banging tunes

once the party is around just take your time don't forget to smile to the people , and also keep keep contact and distance with the crowd

it's really hard to explain ... just try to get the vibe going

things i do everytime i'm spinning at a party.
1.pee first (i never forget that)
2.have a drink as soon as i start my set

things i do to relax. i just think of the crowd as a couple of friends at my room, when i'm spinning to impress them. if i'm uncertain if i'm going to make it to the next transition, i do nothing spectacular & try to make it as easier as it can be (i mean no tricks or tricky transitions). after about an hour, i'm so fucking excited with the crowd that i go crazy (people go crazy too) & start my harder style with more complicate transitions. after a while i won't even think about screwing up. it just goes smoooooooooootthhh...

oh, chewing a gum is a LOT of help. it helps that shaking effect to degrade...
smoking on the other hand won't help me calm. instead, it will make me more nervous.

I found something else Moving my head on the beat!

I'll surely start my set with some tracks that I know very well, basic mixing, then after 4 / 5 beers, let's have fun behind the decks

drinking while playing makes me lose it. i only need a drink when i start my set, maybe a second one later. but more than that makes me all my transition sound like trainwrecks...

if the set is long enough i might drink a third, but more than that is no good.

Me I'm always stressed out when i start a set...
I always screw up my first mix...
so I decided to choose my first 2 tracks to play in advance.. and find an average pitch between them to have a perfect beatmatch so that i don't have to stress out during the mix...
When the second track is playing.. i'm already in the party mood so I go on mixing without being scared.

i'd have this problem when i drop an anthem...that I wont hear the crowd reaction coz i'm listenin to which track i'm gonna play next through my phones, so i think before you drop an anthem make sure you should have an idea which track is going to be played after the anthem.
