Playing out for the first time any last minute advice?

Yeah i sometimes get a bot scatty and clumsey when im stoned, tend to just get pissed!!

ive found a cheeky dab can really help ya set funnily enough lol

Haha.

I find skinning up before a set can go either way. Either i get so into the mix i pull it off really well, or i just get flippant and have a proper cant be assed attitude lol

In all honesty little bit of mandy, like a beer or 2 first isnt a bad shout. IMO zoots before playing out really is a bit hit or miss, best left til after (or your comedown after the night )

Used to have a fair few before i went on, went to DJ in manchester, night was dead anyway so ended up having a few to many and played a shite set because i was drunk! Never again! one or two pints, maybe a dab of mandy and im game!

2 or 3 drinks = relaxed if ur not anyway and a good set, anymore than that is not a good idea..

I find first 3 tunes ill feel a bit nervous until you can see the crowd reacting and you start to get into it then not worrying about it!

Just drink Red Bull. When you're pissed it takes you longer to fix a bad mix.
You get more of a rush when you're nervous as well

Ahaha sorry chaps, probably been too long to jump back in here but I somehow ended back here myself. It went fine, we played in the bar room and had plenty of time to get used the system before starting the set. Didn't manage intoxication on any level, fucking event owner decided he wasn't even gunna sort us a free bevvy.. But yeah, once you get into the flow the nerves subside and you start to enjoy yourself! Looking forward to playing out again to a more involving audience!

Cheers for advice all
