Crazy! I never thought of actually looking at the pitch fader while I ride the pitch.

Spinning in the dark can be awesome depending on the atmosphere. For our high skool house parties, I bring a strobe, a fog machine, and a multicolored elctronic discoball. Especially since my cd decks glow, and with the lighting effects, I enjoy djing alot more cuz I get caught up in the atmosphere.

Will have something again sometime soon... Just need to attend to some other things in life.

maybe you guys like spinnin in the dark bc most clubs are dark.

Real dark (without any source of light, like window to the street with lighting lamps etc) is nightmare. I was in something like this (in underground, there wasn't any windows and any source of lights) and i was afraid - i thought i'm blind now. Also if i was walking back from very bright place to that underground - my eyes hurt there.
In night there are some sources of light (if you're talking about houses) - e.g. window cause streets are lighted in night (but not everywhere and everytime).
I like 'dark mixing' but not everytime.
And my friend (he's spinning from cd players) can't mix in real dark, he must have any GOOD source cause he must see what cd he selected to play .
