Success! "Technically" a gig

So, I've had my DDJ400 for almost a year and I love it, I'm pretty decent at mixing DnB and some other similar stuff but I've always just played to myself in my bedroom. Yesterday I organised a little drinks gathering and I offered to get the deck out to try and impress the guys. It was nothing special, only about 4 people but they were dancing and enjoying it all and I got some great feedback which has made me feel so much better about it all! The best thing was watching their reactions when bringing in some classic tracks!

​

Anyways, this is my story of the time I played in front of like 4 people and how it made me feel amazing about it all!!

I’ve always thought that playing to people you know is more nerve-racking than a venue full of strangers, so well done for giving it a go. There’s no feeling like the one when you’re playing to a busy club, and you hear them go ‘OHHH!!’ when you bring in an anthem.
