you know your ready when you dont need to start threads like these.

in all seriousness though i would say you know your ready when you can consistently mix for a good 2 hours straight without any fuck ups

you mean djing? I don't think there is such a time. just do it - it isn't that bigger deal! Depending on where you are djing, people won't even be paying that much attention. And even when people are paying attention, big names have monumental fuckups all the time. so you are probably ready, is what I am saying

oh look someone who has a life, getting worked up over upstateface at 3:00am on a friday :lol:

But seriously O.P. ... if you have doubts, its a good sign your not. I know people are gonna tell you that you should be able to mix for 2 hours or w/e, but I can do that already, its a big combination of things that lead to being ready.

In my opinion, if you dont have alot of local clout, and your not sure you can REALLY shine, its not time... I wouldnt wanna get on stage and be just another DJ... Id wanna get up and do some shit haha... if this makes any sense at all? And also, I dont wanna get up and do the best set of my life, if Imma step down and noones gonna care who was even up...

typing 1 line of text = getting worked up? ... mind = blown.

in all honesty though upstateface is basically a troll loser. i even heard him mention he has social anxiety once in offtopic section, yet he acts like a complete dick on these forums non stop.. what gives? i never see him contribute anything other then spam bandwagon jumping bullshit. aka alpalca pics etc.. kid is a clown and does not deserve to post here. he contributes nothing. i actually hate him more then dza. its like little homophobe. loser kids just use this site as their diary and just post pointless bullshit one-liners that help no1 out except their own pathetic ego. hope u homophobe. rot.

haha.. i usually dont troll but this is pretty funny!

even after some good, helpful posts!

Edit: and it gets better

2nd Edit: to contribute.. I think it would be good to put some pressure on yourself before playing out.. maybe throw a little party, or DJ a friends party. Record your sets and be anal about them.

exactly. the key is to be too drunk and too overconfident in the 14 records you have (ok...times have changed), and just get out there and GFI.

btw, more uses of the extremely-lame F word and we're locking this post off. be better than that, DSF>

On another forum I frequent most people are college students who have to write papers every week; if your english isn't up to par you aren't taken very seriously. Now, out of habit I get all my shit right, e.g., spelling, contractions, punctuation, etc. English ftw. Fuck capitalizing certain words, though :lol:
