I take a lot of care in the music that I select, always trying to read the crowd, always trying to anticipate the crowd’s reactions and anticipations of the next song. Do I do a smooth blend? Do I drop it on the one? Do I bring in a scratch technique to spice it up? How about live remixing between tracks? There are a ton of options at my disposal, and with all that I need to be cognitive of what the clients want and what they don’t want.

And this goes beyond just dance music. It’s ceremony, cocktail, and dinner too. Ensuring that the music selection is completely on point, building up expectations of an awesome dance party. And playing at proper levels is critical for everyone to enjoy.
