This ensures that no matter what, you will keep the crowd entertained with your music. The breaks that take place between sets may turn out to be the reason the crowd keeps coming back for your music.
There may be situations where you are invited at a friend’s place for a party. They decide to have an after-party, and you get a chance to play your sets for the after-hours. You can plug in your music and keep them grooving through the night. This brings credibility to your live performing skills as a DJ.
You need to make sure you have a fraction of your music handy in a USB drive. You never know when a recording of your set may feature in trending hashtags on social media platforms.
Record Your Mixes:
Analyzing your sets can help you make them smooth to ears. The practice of playing and recording your sets before you play for the audience will always benefit you. You can find glitches in the sets that had passed by when you were playing. This practise will help you perfect your sets and give you the confidence to play these in front of a huge audience too.
Program your Music:
The pickups and drops in a track are vital in exhilarating the party animals on the dance floor. Your audience knows that very well. To keep the crowd wanting more, program your music to suit the purpose of the place and event. Use vivid swerves in your music and tracks to make the crowd move involuntarily.
