Finally got a spot :D

djchope 4:01 AM 6 November 2009
Finally i got a DJ'ing spot at a bowling alley/lounge in downtown Houston. It feels so good to only have to take my laptop,HD and needles. The set-up is pretty sweet, they have a ttm57 (which im already use to) and 2 technics. I DJ there last friday and they want me to do this friday and sat :D
this beats mobile dj'ing for me hahahah :D
The crowd is 21 and up, so i play a lot of classic and current pop, rock,some EDM and SOME hip-hop.

Any tips?
thanks :D

Don't warp your tracks. Seriously. It's okay to build an intro-outro, but don't warp the meat of a track - it'll come out sounding really wonky.
