Re: DJeing drunk of your arse

I like to have a few drinks just to loosen up a bit but thats about it. Beats get way to jumbled after to many.....

^^^hahaha, that reminds me, last time i played in miami back in november i played at night and then the next day at the whitelaw on about 2 hours sleep and what not.. "decided" i would see what happens if i ejected the wrong cd deck after my mix, lol,, that was a good laugh

Re: DJeing drunk of your arse

After a few beers is the best..No more than a few though..Start to make stupid mistakes after that, volume, eq mistakes, and even lifting the wrong needle ( Yeah I have decks and have done that a few times)....Playing after a few drinks works for me because I tend to take more risks with diff tracks that I normally wouldn't...

Playing blazed tends to give me a bit more creativity and I def get lost in the mix, which is a good thing..I like this the best..

Tried playing on other substances and it was a nightmare....

So, yes, a few beers during is a good thing.

Re: DJeing drunk of your arse

instincts kick in at that point. I've done it before, maybe wrecked a track a bit because it also sounded like mush in my headphones

But it can be fun!

i've only dj'ed once or twice that was in any way like that. But I was immediately trying to sober up real quickly, because I don't like to dj while my brain feels like it's swimming in cotton.

try it after some K, listen to THAT recording, lol

I usually try and start my sets sober, I'm usually drinking all the way through but I always start sober.

Couple of weeks ago I played a small basement party where pretty much everyone was somebody I knew and ended up drinking a bit too much before hitting the decks.

Felt I played the shittest gig ever afterwards, couldn't also remember anything I'd played after the first track the next day...

Now I finally had the courage to listen to the set (I record every gig) and it's not bad actually... Apart from a few dodgy mixes even they aren't downright trainwrecks.

Any experiences?
