Stoned is a lot of fun, but what I find happens is that you spend so long admiring your mix that you don't remember to get the next track ready, so when you suddenly realise there's 0:59 to go it's a bit of a rush to get the next track ready. Also I find matching beats to be a lot harder. A lot more fun, but a lot harder :tongue2

the best is when you forget to mix becuase your so into the music, this has never happend to me ;)
i love spinning while im flying , everything is so easy , beatmatching , eqing , i can do everything better when im a bit stone and

this is totally wrong, i dont smoke that much but when i do its much much easier for me to concentrate |

| i tryed spinning when drunk once, not to bad. it loosened me up a bit, but if i ed up i wouldnt really care so i dont think il want to do this alot. i also tryed mixin when stoned, and i was awsum, taped it and played it back when i wasnt stoned and didnt think it was me mixing. so i love mixing when stoned, but if i did it in front of people i might get paranoid and up. dont know. but on my own it was quality :) |

I dont smoke or do hard drugs.
Music is my drug
But seriously when i do drink music sounds so much better, i like getting a little buzzed when i mix, it atcually helps me beatmatch farely well. But i dont advise being trashed while mixing. |

i've been hanging out with a bunch of dnb and jungle kids here in alabama (im tryin to hold the trance fort hehe),anyway my friends boyfriend spins dnb and i don't know how he does it, but he will drink like theres no tomorrow. i watched my friend kinda hold him steady while he was at the tables because he was just completely trashed.. but he was flawless, it was amazing! and it was on a pair of gemini's!
i've never played out, in front of 5 friends is the most, but while in my house i like to spin after a good joint. Put a record on, sit down, 'trance out', then mix in another one at the end and keep them going. Nothing fancy, you know. Its really soothing. And i've fallen asleep before, only to wake up to the repeating pops at the end of the record. |

I only have a few drinks with friends before i play, with about 30mins before my set i drink water /red bull.
I have been drunk on stage before and i didnt enojoy my set as much as being sober, so i never get drunk before i play.
BONZAI FOREVER...... |

hmmm, it depends....
I never actually intend to get drunk :stongue:
Normally, I stay sober before my gig, maybe have a few beers.
So when I do a 1,5 hour set, there 's no time to get drunk (well, technically it would be possible, but I would have to spend more time drinking then mixing :p )
But sometimes when I do very long sets (like september 4, I'll be spinning from 22.00 - 5.00 back-to-back with someone else) I often end up pretty wasted....specially when people keep bringing me drinks, worrying I won't have enough :toothless
I tend to 'forget to drink' whilst spinning. So after a while, there will be a couple of beers waiting for me and I'll slam one down (or two, or three, or.... ;) :p )
I've noticed that, although I'm drinking quite a lot, I'll stay relatively sober during these long sets (concentration probably), but that it will really kick in after I've stopped spinning :crazy: |

i can mix pretty damn well when i'm completely piss-ass drunk. But i prefer to just have a couple. This way i'm more relaxed and not so jumpy when i mess up the beat matching. I can correct easier and way faster if i'm mellow.
i've not tried mixing with a little ganja, but i doubt it'd be too different ;) |

actually what i find that helps me conscentrate big time is caffeine.
i love popping some excedrine or having some coffee before i mix. my mind focuses very easily.
i like to have a drink while i am mixing. it does loosen me up and helps me the feel the music (caffiene also helps me feel it too, in a different way tho). i hate mixing trashed because i totaly over compesnate for stuff and just act all crazy.
same thing while stoned. pot and i don't seem to get along too well.
i love listening ot the music high. and i can see things in the music much more clearly, but i jsut don't seem to care about anything else, except what i'm taking in through my ears. i just don't have enough experience with it yet to use pot to its full advantage while spinning yet. |
