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!!

Hi mate, sorry it's taken a while. I'm not gonna lie, I've got a bit of a scuffed set up using some old hi-fi amp and some speakers I had in my loft haha, but a set of powered speakers shouldn't set you back too far. Failing that though, you could always route the audio through the laptop and then use a portable speaker that has an aux port
