I was focusing so hard on the beatmatching cause I was so scared of a trainwreck, but I definitely pulled it off without any mistakes.... however i must say the mixing was kinda boring cuz I was trying to beatmatch so hard.. lol. anyways, i'm hoping for more to come in the future. (sorry, had to share my story!)

Good stuff. Once you have the first gig out of the way, things tend to improve.

It took me three gigs to start feeling comfortable playing in a club environment. Looks like I have a couple of livesets coming up this month, and I'm really looking forward to them.

good for you! i hope you'll play again and again in the future.. in about 1.5 months i'll spin in a school party. It will be an important party because there will be members of a production org. too, and that will be my first gig.. can you give some advice?

congrats man and good luck for the future. I dont mean to sound retarded and lunatic-like but im glad for your sake that you played on a shit system to start off with. Im sure you wouldnt have preferred for a first gig and i wouldnt like it either, but you've probably gained a great deal of experience more than someone who would play on a perfect set-up all the time.

It makes you more flexible with equipment your not used to using day in day out at home or whatever, and im sure the gig you played after with a goooood setup made you feel much more comfortable and you probably spun much better , and im sure the experience of playing on such a system your not used to playin will come in very handy sometime in the future

but enough with the pessisimistic bs , well done and keep it up and with a bit of effort on ure part, get to know a few people out and about and ure local reputation will soar and ull start to get known

its taken me 4 years to get noticed in a city known for cheese crap so if i can do it ne one can

Well played

After 2 years, I still haven't played a gig Only on online radio stations :/ Its a shame really, I really want to play out to people. Guess my time will come

Congratz though, and greetings from the UK

Yah man congrats! I had my first gig 2 weeks ago and man is it ever awsome. (I take it that feeling totally @ home behind the decks @ my first club gig is a good thing! ) Your right, it's so much better on a BOOMING system!

Don't feel too bad, I've been doing this for about as long as you and haven't done any online radio things. The closest I've gotten to playing out has been having a friend over in my room while I record a mix.

Hopefully that will change this fall, though, as I was recently offered to play at a local talent promotion sort of event.. ::fingers crossed::

You should consider spinning at AfterhoursDJs, it's a great way to get a bit of international exposure, everyone there is very friendly and supportive.
