Tips And Techniques To Improve Your Live DJ Sets Being a DJ in Melbourne means that you are competing with thousands of Melbourne city DJs. It means that there is no room for laziness. You must work hard and improve your skills especially if you are a live performer. Live DJ sets are challenging. Unlike recorded sets where you can correct your mistakes, live sets have no room for mistakes. If you make a lot of mistakes, you will end up losing the crowd and in worst cases the organisers of the event. It is, therefore, important to work on your skills and minimise mistakes. Here are some techniques and tips to improve your live DJ sets.

Practice and prepare You should do a lot of practice to improve your performance skills. Having only a vague idea of the music you are going to play will make a half-hearted DJ set. You will find that accomplished turntablists have spent a lot of time perfecting their DJ sets. We do not recommend pre-planning your entire set but you should get to know your options prior to your performance. Spend enough time and find music that mixes well and make awesome playlists of the music for future use. You should make different kinds of playlists for different types of gigs. Finding music that works well together will definitely take time. Be flexible You do not have to take requests from the audience. You can stand by your style and music selection and still be a professional Melbourne DJ hire. However, playing more than one specific genre of music is a great way you can gain more opportunities for performance. There are different types of events and clubs and different types of crowds you can perform to. You need to try selections from your music that will work best with these different groups.
