I was asked to DJ for a while at a friend's party this weekend. While I have no aspirations of being a real DJ, it was pretty fun. I don't know how to (really) play any instruments, but I can play the stereo better than anyone I know. Well that and Ironman on the guitar.
I didn't really care either when no one was dancing either. It was early and no one was drunk and I got to play what I like. When everyone is dancing, it's way more pressure and you gotta can the Copy and Kavinsky for Billie Jean and Deceptacon.
I wasn't sure what the setup was gonna be beforehand, if there'd be a mixer or turntables or what. If there was just going to be a CD player, I brought a mix I created earlier in the day. I was going to press play and walk away. It ended up being 2 CDJ's, ipods and a cd player plugged into a mixer. I ended up mixing everything live so I didn't actually play this at the party, but here it is anyway for you:
