yeah there's a great thought, just try to memorize structure of all your shit.

i guess that would count just listening as "spinning" eh

not straight mixing for 4 hrs or so?

nah, haven't done this in years. At home that is.
But I played 4 1/2 hours at a party a couple of moths ago. A lot harder than at home, I can tell you...

When you got your chance to play in front of hundreds/thousands of people, spinning at home just isn't the same any more.

Sniff ... so true ...
You just miss the thumdering soundsystem under your feet and watching the people bounce up and down to the tunes that you throw at them.
Yeah, ever since I started playing out, spinning at home has lost the initial appeal, unfortunately. Sometimes you just work better with an audience.

yeah i did about 4 straight hrs, and then when on and off for another 2, for my *first set* at a friends bday!

but the pressure wasnt that big because most of the people were all hip-hop homies. hah.
so those who were enjoying it, well, actually no one knew much bout trance there. so if i did screw up (i did a couple times) i slammed the fader. actually im not too sure how i did on the whole, beatmixed fine but i suspect my transistions werent great.

sorry to ramble

anyways so yeah i was straight from 8pm - 1 am, then on/off thru to 4am. fuck i was beat after that... even cooling down w/ prog was tiring..

well, my 4 1/2 hours were from 4am to 8:30am. The party was supposed to end at 7 or 7:30, but they were not going home
i was really beat after that one. Don't know how Sven Väth does his sets (he played 20hrs straight...)

I dont have my own set so i only get to practice once every 3 weeks or so at my friends house. When I do get a chance to spin we take turns doing mixes for about 3 hours. I've been spinning for about a year now and just recently got my first booking and am now finally getting my own set. I borriwed my friends decks for 2 weeks last summer an I practiced like 3 hours a day....it was just so much fun.

special k, that's actually maybe even a better situation initially cuz you dont have to blow all the cash right?

anyways, if you dont have enough, or good vinyl, it gets boring fast.

ive been caught between buying "all the classics i missed out on" like love stimulation, mysteryland, the fade (ETC) or trying to keep up w/ new stuff

but i personally dont like a lot of new stuff, even tho there are gems to be found, esp on B-Sides! (e.g. Impact - Modular Control [ITWT], Digger - Estonian Blue [Casa Nostra])

this gives me a good idea for thread.!
