    Based on what you are saying you probably are a perfectionist when it comes to many things, DJing being one of them. It’s good that they have an expectation that you won’t be perfect. Just remember that we all had to start somewhere. You don’t have to be perfect with beatmixing or song selection.

    It’s always smart to ask clients for songs that THEY would like to hear that way you don’t have to make a bunch of assumptions right off the bat.

    The one part I would recommend knowing how to do is microphone and speaker set up. That part you need to know how to do because if that doesn’t work then that’s a bigger issue.

    As humans we are naturally competitive creatures. We also see everything through our own lens and not the other DJ’s. For all you know that guy could have not been the real DJ and had to fill in last minute for the actual DJ that night.

    It could have been his very first gig. It’s easy to judge other DJ’s but remember that we all had to start somewhere.

    Also our expectations of an art increases once we’ve done the art ourselves. You may not have tried to pay attention to things like beatmixing and where he was getting his music from if you were not a DJ yourself. Your focus might have been more attuned towards what actual songs he was playing rather than how he mixed them or where he was getting them from.

    Hope this helps.
