Yeah, about a week ahead and is time for my first gig. It's not a club gig, it's a wedding afterparty for about 50 people. I know the bride (my old schoolmate) but everybody else are unknown people for me.
Only thing that i know is that they "just wanna dance". No specific song selection but i know i have to play all kind of music from funk/soul to hip hop and house. I know i can play those songs for me but how they will work for other people is mystery for me. I know i just have to have fun behind my decks on enjoy it. But still.. All the good advice are welcome:P

Knowing what moves the crowd versus what personally moves you is what makes you a DJ. People dance to tunes they know! Make sure your set fits your crowd.

24h and then, Dj Difficult is loose! I'm surprisingly calm :)

Just be yourself,.. It worked for me

Here's what happened at my first gig. I think that was about a month ago if I remember right...
Take what you want from this video. These were just my thoughts.
