Mitch Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 -Play what someone at the club would normally play in your set time-Bring lots of friends (and get them to spend lots at the bar), as sadly this is what becomes a major factor in most 'DJ' comps You on Friday or Saturday?Have another 21st to attend on the Sat, but if it's Friday I may be able to make it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexJ Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Bring a crowd. Is honestly the best way to win no doubt. If you get them to cheer for u like crazy and then not cheer for the other people, send the prettiest girls you can bring to go occasionally chat to judges about how memorable and impressive your set was. Will go along way. But worst case. Just kill it with mad skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatPartyGuy Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 going to try and get a group together unfortunately, the skill aspect will be judged by a mystery man lol.half price RTD's with my name get a few people in haha.this is my first time using CDJ's in a club and haven't had much experience with them, so hoping the skill aspect goes well haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatPartyGuy Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 built up the crowd, played what they wanted and went pretty good.everyone else after pretty much played what they wanted / where ever they were thinking... and lost most of the crowd.tbh i didnt think i did well but after seeing the waves of crowds coming and going, think i did decent.i don't mean to sound like i know it all and i'm a "pro" (nor do i think i'm anything near it lol), they could mix... just not play and adjust for a crowd.anyway, thats my update hahathanks again guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
