Back in my 20's, just had a baby, I knew I was on borrowed time as a DJ, and used the anxiety to fuel the passion that went into my music.  What a fuckin' ride it was!  I remember recording my gigs each time I performed Live.  At that time,  I was playing four nights a week.  By the time I would get home, the sun would usually be creeping through my blinds.  I would lay back in bed and  start playing the recording back  from that night, critiquing it, learning from it by getting  a completely  different perspective on myself.  You must understand, Performing live was an enabler, the crowd; my drug.  The high I got when the crowd would go Bananas  from the twist I just put on their favorite track, is addictive.   I was soon competing with myself to get further down that rabbit's hole.  The problem is in the euphoric High often numbing your ability to comprehend your own performance in real-time, something I thankfully realized sooner than later.  I can best explain it to you with Leonardo Decaprio in The Wolf of Wallstreet, after he took the Lemmons/Quaaludes.  I believe it was called the Cerebral Palsy phase.  Sometime the harder you try , the uglier it gets.  As much fun as it was, stepping back from it all by  listening to the recordings post performance,  allowed me to get a much needed perspective to make the small adjustments and changes before they turned into career busters.   

Moving forward to the other day, I finally took the time to go through my incorrectly tagged tracks that have been sitting in my itunes library for years.  The software I was using back in the day would give a default file name to each new recording, "serato recording."  Serato left it up to you to rename the files when saving at the end.  One of the untagged tracks i discovered was an old club gig, what a gem!  However once I renamed and saved it, once again the "serato recording" file would also reappear. There were more than a few "Serato Recordings"  found hidden in my iTunes library, all throwback sets!
  
Once again I've found myself listening into the morning hours, however  no longer looking to perfect a once known talent.........just reminiscing of a time that has come and gone, now finding new enjoyment as a fan of
