oh i do...but i mean.....12 hours worth...i dont know about you guys, but i love trance to death. I've listened to it for probably 4 years straight now. Every day, before after and during school...ect....but it was to the point of annoying me where as i just didn't want to listen to it, so i took a braek, got into dance hall and reggae, but yeah...i have no idea where i was trying to go with that |

I hope you've prepared a lot of coke for that 12 hour escapade :wtf:
But damn, thats a long ass time, but at the same time a really good way to get used to playing longer sets and being comfortable with DJ'ing. |

you better have variety of styles because you'll get bored of trance real quick
ps: lots of red bull
pps: take a dump before you hit the decks. srsly |

| Where will you be spinning for that period? Also how much are you getting paid? Typically I don't have a problem spinning lengthy sets as it often affords new opportunities in set programming but for 5+ hours you want it to be worth your time (at least in my experience). |
