@DevilsCaretaker – southern MD – that’s a commute! Checked out your website and previewed your mixes – nice work.

Thanks… And yeah I know, lls! That’s my biggest problem @ the moment, no one wants to come this way! I’ve been going at it solo for a little while now… I’m around DC & BMore often checking people out and supporting when I can but I’m caught in that old trap…

Hey how’s it going…? Nice to keep finding people in the area! I’m southern Maryland myself but consider anything within 2hrs local. Need anything, drop me a line…

The 50s are nice too, a lil more and have a coiled cable. I did notice the bass boost a little. You can look up frequency responses of a lot of varied cans here: http://www.headphone.com/learning-center/build-a-graph.php

Yeah good point… My biggest tip/trick is the echo freeze effect. It creates those long tails you mention and to add some fun as you bring in the next track the echo morphs to the bpm change.

If you’ve any lighting units you could bring out, there’s no such thing as too many lights =D (we’ve got a few micro galaxians, a color strip, an aggressor and an eclipse, but it can always been taken 1 step further) that’d be cool, otherwise bodies will do nicely. Also, it’s a BYOB and there’s a pretty cheap beer/liquor store right around the corner…..the venue I work with isn’t a bar or club so technically we can’t profit off of alcohol sales.

Cool, I have a mini aggressor and a tri gem led from ADJ & a mini hurricane fogger with 2 T trusses…

Oh yeah my real name is Jerome Davis…

I don’t have a lot of experience in this dept. but my thoughts would be to play as close to what you would normally. If you over complicate this and screw up, you’re probably done in his eyes. However, if you can perform a clean set with a few comfortable tricks thrown in, it could open the “warm up” doors for you. I personally wouldn’t try to wow people with things that aren’t my usual flavor. 5-10 tracks you know well should do. Be cool, show what you’ve got & GOOD LUCK!

My best one to date was my own party…! I wanted to start building my audience for Dubstep & Trap so I named the night “Progressive” and detailed out in the flyers what we would be listening to. As the party got up to around 25 people the girls were moving a good bit to the Trap remixes of Rihanna and so forth but 2 songs later they scattered. Then my own sister was like “You got some 2 Chainz?” I gave her the honor and she led the floor, had all the girls 12 or so dancing for 20 mins or better so I tried to slide back into the theme of the night and they all cleared out shortly after. The 15 people I had at the end of the night were the ones I was looking for anyway so we continued on once a month.
