    Playlists are the way to go. It takes time to build them though. No other way around it really. If you’re really struggling then try to mash a few genres that generally mix well together ie house, electro, breaks and organise them in intensity ie warm-up, fillers, anthems, peak, heavy, euphoric, sing-alongs etc. Try to read the crowd and just randomly pick a track from the appropriate playlist, if you really can’t think of anything.

    the first thing i was taught about dj’in out was this….

    find one smoking hot chic on the floor and make her dance all night, if she leaves the floor make sure you keep her head noddin, if she looks bored… play something obscure that will make her take notice, then real her back to the floor

    youre the dj… your kinda like a demi-god as you control the flow of the night.. if things look a lil lazy drop something ruff n rugged that will pop the roof. two tracks i always have readu if i need em are fatman scoop: be faithful or house of pain: jump around dont be scared to play something that gets rowdy as thats what needed sumtimes to get the crowd back.

    Hey guys thank you for the reply :d

    my real problem is not reading the crowd , or banging the dancefloor , i think i do that prety good and naturally
    , i have alot of Good music choosen track by track , im a kind of perfectionist.
    but the real problem is , i like alot of this music that is overwhelming for me to choose from and be exact
    4 Hours gig needs 60 – 80 to 100 tracks , and when im starting to choose it like im doing my last gig and going to die :p looool
    ( what if i needed that track , what if i left those , names of tracks i cant remember )

    i just want to find a method to play from 4 – 5 Playlists
    cz when you know everything where it is and whats in what , you can be creative then

    i remember a small gig i had , when i know exactly what song i need in what moment , somtimes even mashups comes to my head and i can throw them live , but i couldnt find them or remember their name and was like shit , but i did good 😀 improvising
