Best advice is to not overthink any of it. Bring more tunes than you will want to play and just go with the flow of things. Don't try to force something that is not there and play bangers to an empty floor, assuming that will fill the floor. It's like sex, you don't just wanna stuff it in. Sometimes you have to spit on it first haha. Don't worry about using a ton of fx on the mixer either. Keep it simple.
