What i have been waiting for...At Last!!!

Hi all,

At last i have a chance to play in a club and proove
myself!!!! hopefully.

I work as a cleaner (Shitty job) at westlands
(Where they make helicopters). I got talking to
a bloke on my morning shift.....i told him i DJ,
and he was interested....so i gave him a mix tape.
which he liked so i preceeded and gave him a few more.
anyway......
he told me that he is friendly with a worker on a different
area, who actually is an MC at a club which plays hard trance
out of town, dave joy and mark eg regularly play there.
so we got introduced.......and i bought ****master from him.

he looked at one of my tracklistings, and he thought it was
a little to commercial, with tracks like solarcoaster,
open your eyes, superstring, sunrise, nothing but you etc etc

so i went home and did a mix with more hard trance tunes,
and i nailed every mix.
Tracklisting (Some Old)

Green Martian - Industry (Durango95 mix)
Katana - Fancy Fair
Yves Deuryter - Back To Earth (Rave Mix)
Taiko - Silence (Club Mix)
Boca - Play With Me (Bellfire Mix)
Flutlicht - Icarus (S.H.O.K.K Mix)
Mauro Picotto - Baguette
Vespa - Take Me Away (Soundscape Mix)
Drugface - ****master (Uberdruck Mix)
DJ Wag - Black Magic (DJ Wag Mix)
D.A.V.E The Drummer - Hydrolics 11
Taiko - Die Blechtrommel (Nick Sentience Remix)
Pale-X - Nitro (Vocal Mix)

He listened to it and was really impressed, and said mixing
was spot on.
He wants me to give him another tape of the stuff i usually
play, and he is going to try and get me a warm up slot at
the club he MC's at!!!!!!
WoW!!!!!
Id shit myself

Cheers my fellow TA's

I just hope i dont trainwreck every single track!!

Its gotta be a scary experience dj'ing for the
first time at a club.
anyway ive been reading a book called how to DJ Properly
written by bill brewster & frank broughton, it tells
you how to prepare for your first gig along with the
art of dj'ing. its a great book

Im trying to think of a dj name.
my nickname used to be Marky-G, but there is allready
a dj called that but spelled differently Mark E.G.

The club plays hard trance, but i only like a few hard
tunes.
Anyway cos im warming up i'll play the trance that i like.
so ive got to add variety to my set and think of a good
opening tune

Congrats man! I hope you tear the roof off!

Something bothered me a bit though...

You said he didn't like your tape because it was a bit "too commercial", but I looked at your reworked tracklist, and to be honest, it wasnt so hot either. I mean the tracks are great, lotta killers, but it seems the same in "commercial" wise.

Did he mean commercial as in trance (does he only prefer hard stuff), or cheesey?

Posted by DJ M.G on Jul-21-2003 07:01:

I didnt quite get what he ment,
He didnt even listen to that first tape!

i just mixed some of the more harder tunes
in my collection, so it would make him listen
to it, and my luck he liked it.

And now he wants me to make a tape of the stuff
i usually spin, (did this mix yesterday)
