You make it more like a burden to you than doing something that you love? I dont know, thats how I see it lol, correct me if im wrong…

You’re wrong, I’m passionate about my music and love to play it, put me up at a friends party/club and I’ll play you the whole day and do it well. It’s being evaluated which, yes, feels dreadful.

But thanks a lot for the breakdown, it’s great advice on how to structure down the hours.

Yeah I knew playing other mixes wouldn’t go down so well here, thanx for the ideas of what to do with the downtime as I’m sure there will be a lot of it in the beginning.

I just want to make a solid first impression which is why I’m hesitant to “try out stuff” as I suspect he will be listening to me mix, this is kind of like the trial run for being a DJ at his other parties as well…

Yeah, it sounded bad in the booth, I had a monitor speaker there but I just couldn’t get over how bad it sounded on the dancefloor (from where I was). May have been my lack of experience, since people did start gradually coming out to dance (after the bad first hour). I recorded the mix and listened to it the other day, sounds fine, so I guess the answer here is getting my own monitor and leaving the rest up to house PA.
