My first gig, read to see what i have to say
Well here is just another review of a fellow TA's first gig.
A friend of mine, organized a party in a lounge of Roxy(a big club in NYC).
He originally got me, a friend of mine, and another guy to spin for the whole night.
When i get there, i see the crowd is not really limited to the lounge so everyone keeps walking in and out, so no one is actually dancing. I was supposed to go on second, but as it was getting late I told the guy that i'll go on first. This is my first time spinning at a club/not using my own equipment. They had a pair of 1210, and a pioneer knob mixer. How happy was I to find out that, the knob mixer only had volume and gain knobs. No high, no mid, no low, nothing!!!!! WTF!!!
Whatever, I thought I gotta pay my dues so i'll do my best.
I played for a little more than an hour, and maybe trainwrecked the first two songs(because I could not get used to the monitor speakers)
Actually, there was only one monitor speaker, so imagine my happiness.
More fun ahead, the equipment was so badly set up, that everytime someone ran up to me to say something, the turntables skipped. Luckily this did not happen during one of my mixes, but it was quite annoying.
Finally, at the end of my set, as I was finishing up, I talked to the other two djs and they said I was awesome. Then when I came up to my non loving trance friends, they didnt have many good things to say. One thing that a friend of mine said, is that the set didnt flow. I like getting feedback whether positive/negative, but for some reason I got pretty mad and have been thinking about what he said ever since. I was trying to lay off the progressive stuff, because i only had an hour and wanted to pump the people up.
I will post my tracklisting, and maybe u can tell me if you think it flows or maybe how i can improve it.
Thanks a lot guys.
