    Good mix! really liked it. Good mixing, great tunes.

    If this music is what the new club is looking for then I think you at least have a good change. I think promoters are looking for good mixing, good track selection, all the usual stuff. And someone who can deliver while playing live. Since you have never done that, that might be a disadvantage. But you have the mix to back up your words!

    Playing a gig over a PA ( or loud sound system ) is very different then playing at home. The music is louder ( obviously ) and the feel is really different. But this is a matter of getting used to it. It is not impossible, not at all. It get some time to get used to the PA and the monitors. I compare it sometimes to painting, say you draw a picture at a A4 paper, no do that same picture on a big wall. That is mixing in a club for ya!

    If you are eager, you like to DJ. Then go for it.

    Thanks for the feedback! I sent the mixtape in but haven’t heard anything yet. We’ll see what happens.

    Last weekend I had a party (around 40 people) at friends house and I was the DJ for the night. He had some nice, big loud speakers en big separate Sub-woofer all connected to a mixer and amplifier. I plugged my twitch controller into one of the channels and off I was!  It was the first time I could play  out loud and ineed had to deal with the different sound due to the size of the system. But I did some sound-checking before everyone arrived and adjusted till the sound was optimal. So thanks again for the tip because I think it wouldn’t have sounded as good if I had not turned the EQ of the mixer down ( It sounded very flat and the sounds was drowning in the bass)

    I had a great night, played for 5 hours straight (was really tired en broken afterwards ) and got a lot of compliments.  People asked me which club I usually play and I had to tell them, nowhere just at home! So that was really nice to get some feedback from people I didn’t already know. I learned a lot by looking at what the tunes did to the mood and how people reacted to it.  Now all I want to do is play out loud again!!!!
