yup

you need tiesto in your extended network on myspace.

Woooo another funny Tiesto joke!

I think working on your song selection is pretty important, at least when you start getting gigs. I hadn't really had any experience mixing outside the bedroom til I got this radio show, then once I was standing at the decks playing for all these people I found it kinda hard to decide how to plan out my mix, by which I mean deciding which song had the right elements to follow what I was playing. also, I think knowing how to transition smoothly between genres is important, like going from trance to breakbeat or something.

If u are ok with the beatmatching thing

Try when ur mixing 2 tunes to use the eq's. Especially bass changes will improve ur mixes.

Also try to mix a tune into another on the correct spots ( u can mix anywere-there are no rules but just be sure that it sounds good on ur speakers)

And a last thing if u are able try to record ur mixes during practising. This will help u alot because u will be able to understand ur mistakes
Hope i helped a bit
good luck

After you're getting good with your Jesus pose, you need to build a strong PR department to boost your DJ Mag rating. Make sure to take lots of pictures of yourself looking away from the camera into the distance with a melodramatic face.

Yep, and definitely make sure you've got a graffiti'd up brick wall behind you in the pics. Or stare straight at the camera and only use half of your face if it's for an album cover.

Does anyone know of any good Jesus pose tutorials on the net anywhere?

Ok, track selection

Is there anywhere to read a "conventional" way to structure a set? For example, you would not want to drop an uplifting track after an uplifting track after an uplifting track, etc.
