share. Sparking up that kind of nostalgia in people really makes you feel good at the end of the night.” Because DJ Honey has been an SL DJ since November 2007, she has some advice to share with up and coming DJ’s: Practice, Practice, and Practice! She stresses how important it is for the aspiring DJ to know what they are doing and playing, and to remain professional at all times. Thus, avoid making sexual passes at club patrons and remember. “All DJ’s should simply relax and enjoy the music. Don’t focus on the program you are using so much. Learn what songs flow together and listen to your listeners. They are what will make your set great. Do what you can to keep them happy.” END
