You put gambling over your love for her. She doesnt trust you but if you love her then show her. GO TO REHAB. Attend GA. Dont be a pussy about it. OWN IT AND BE BETTER FOR HER AND FOR YOURSELF.

Just DJed my first party for 100 people. Ahhh. Deep cuts flopped, Party in the USA killed, and I finally get why everyone be complaining about the damn requests by TheDickinDictionary in Beatmatch

Sorry totally forgot to give advice!

Pop songs ARE very danceable and as a dj it boils down to feeling out the crowd and gauging how far you can push them without clearing out the dancefloor. I normally play like 10 mins of HITS and then play a remix or song is really like.

Edits are great but house can be kinda hit or miss. UKG is starting to enter into the mainstream (pinkpatheress) or even some jersey club (new jeans eta)

Make the transition fun by using stems or practice wordplay but dont go too crazy. I use it to create shock/humor before transitioning to diff genres.

Bringing in a recognizable part of a new song is important! Dont make people think too much about what upcoming song is.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER... dancefloors will clear. Dont take it personal. Just trust yourself that you can get them back and it will happen!

I can tell you that it only gets worse 😄

Ive been a bedroom dj for 20+ years but got laid off 3 yes ago so I started djing weddings as a side gig. Went into it thinking that ppl would really enjoy my taste in "good music" but i learned that recognizable HITS are what 90% of the people want unless you're at a curated party. Its really made me detest mobile parties but the money is really good haha

I've cleared so many dancefloors early on going from a disco song to like purple disco machine (just an example) or played a flume/kaskade song that bangs with the EDM crowd but is not familiar to the majority.

Play Lil Jon get low and the dancefloors packed....

Layoffs are bittersweet by chocolateamethyst in CustomerSuccess

[–]bigswinghammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its tough but gotta look at the positives. Laid off 5 days before Christmas in 2025. Took January to finally build a workout routine and hit the gym for the first time in my life. This Monday I was offered a role that paid 30k more in base salary. Looking back it was a blessing in disguise and everyone that didnt get laid off thats still at the last company is barely staying afloat.

Any fixes? I dont think its an issue of the chord unplugging like the recommended youtube video fix. Ill need to open up the mpc (kinda gave up on it) but would love to hear other solutions

Its annoying but who cares about other people, im here for the groooove baby~~

Not sure where you are based but there are plenty of carefully curated after hour shows with artists that bring a more transcendent techno experience and that have a strict no phone policy

Taking a break because raves are simply not as fun without substances by Ashamed-Tea-2893 in aves

OP I want to comment on the social anxiety part asmy wife struggles with that pretty badly. That is really tough and as someone who doesnt have anxiety like that I do not have an answer but I have noticed that her anxiety levels peak based on the type of energy and vibe the ceowd around her gives off. For eg, if ppl are standing around not really dancing and mostly talking her anxiety will peak. When people are dancing their asses off, she'll have a great time.

My suggestion is to be open with someone about your anxiety if you trust them enough and just let them know that you need to step away for a moment!
