two conditions when i can't mix for sh*t:

-over-tired. not just normal tired but like i've been lacking sleep for days and days and days...

or

-very hungry. sounds stupid but i can't do anything on an empty stomach. lol

Me too. I turn the lights down really low and just chill and play some prog.

I guarantee, when you are pished or tired, you only think you are mixing better!!

mixing when you're tired can be a problem.. because mixing is mainly about expressing how you feel through music. therefore, when you're tired (or even hungry) it will reflect through your mixes. here's a trick that i use to help mix when i'm tired.

take two hydroxycuts about twenty minutes before your set. the combination of herbs and stimulants totally boosts your energy and will help you spin a much better set. drinking coffee or strong black tea also helps.. but hydroxycut gives me a good lift.

your creative expressions are shown through your track selection and how well your mixes flow.. so it totally makes sense that the set you spin won't be as good when you're tired.

I can surely relate, cuz I tried making a promo mix one day after I had been raving all night and I stunk. I also see my drunk DJ friend suck after a few beers and they think they're tearing it up.
