DJ drafts incoming: Stop blending words over words. Stop using stems for transitions that make 0 sense. Learn to count bars & stop bringing songs in on the 3. Stop going from 83 to 140. Stop playing YouTube tips. Talkin on the mic between songs is NOT a transition. Please.

⚠️ This is gonna hurt many DJ’s ego: People aren’t there to see you. They don’t even care who is DJing truthfully. But they know a great DJ when they hear one. People are only there to have a good time, and hear good music. That’s the duty of your job. So leave your ego at home.
