As far as track selection is concerned. My show is usually based on the crowd. Since the crowd is almost always unpredictable, show should my sets. I don't go on any scheduled quests for music. If I hear something I like, I get it. For radio shows and sets where I have limited or no crowd response (like podcasts, monthly mixes, etc.), I often go with how I'm feeling. Sometimes I feel like dropping it light, sometimes dark. Maybe I want to focus on my own music. It all really depends on my mood and what I feel like playing. Since there isn't that "human interface" with recorded or playback sets, I try to put my best out there.

For pre-show preparation. There's no science to it. I usually have a few drinks of Merlot, and meditate right before the show.

I usually have a few tracks in the back of my mind that I really want to play.

That, and I have about 3-4 different starting tracks picked out so depending on how the opener ends off his set I know how to start mine. Other than that, just feel the groove of the night and see how the crowd reacts to the first few records and move from there.

Yeah I can't say I do any preparation bar pull out a few tunes that I'd like to play during my set and just go to it from there.

I might have a bit of a mix at home so I'm not rusty before hand but that's about it.
