talking to the crowd and "pumping them up" would have been difficult for me.
Not necessarily necessary. depends on exactly what type of gigs you’re playing where.
There were only a handful of nights at one club i played my first year where ever got on the mic. (My 22nd birthday will forever be etched in memory, high AF on E & Redbull-vodkas, screaming happy birthday to Canada & myself on Canada Day 😹).
The remaining 12 years at every venue/event, never. 😼
Ah okay, I might have been a bit okay then :) Sounds like a pretty epic night!
T’was.
T’was also a big turning point. I dunno if just overdid it and blew some neural circuits, what astrological alignments were in play, or what, but something changed that night. Was on a serious roll for the previous (almost) year, DJing going fucking awesome, friendship with my agent amazing, life overall fantastic… but that peak high marked a turnaround after which things started degrading over the next year plus. Of course, life has its cycles & seasons, though feel i probably went to excess that night that really altered some brain chemistry and the corresponding reality ‘manifested/projected’ from thereon.
Man, life really is a trip. Lol.
I know a guy who used to be a DJ and now he does work doing voice overs. He has a sound booth down in his basement where he records everything. Sorry, that really has nothing to do with anything, but your reply made me think of it.
