LIVE SETS & MIXES

Music is ((THE)) Answer

🥟 The full story of my first gig, and WOW… what a mess I'll never forget 😂

It all started when a DJ friend told me my SoundCloud mixes were actually getting good, like "You should play in front of people now"…
I was proud of my last recorded mix, so I did the most logical thing ever:
I signed up for an open deck slot at a rave… the very next weekend 😅

● D-3

Got my slot: 4pm to 5pm. I was thrilled.
Crafted a 1-hour set. Picked my fave tracks.
Practiced transitions. Beatmatched like a maniac on my baby DDJ-FLX4 🥵
Ran the set more than 10 times. Locked in. Felt ready.
Well… almost.

● D-2

Had a sketchy USB and thought "What if it fails on D-Day?"
So I panic-bought a fancy one: $50 USD gone 💸

● D-1

They said the gear would be CDJ-900NXS.
I Googled it and studied it like it was my final exam:
"That button is this button… okay, nailed it" ✅

Plot twist: CDJ-900NXS doesn't have Hot Cues (thanked my Anthony2 for that tip 😘).
And guess who built his entire set around Hot Cues? 🫠
So I spent hours converting everything to Memory Cues like some over-caffeinated data monkey. Me & Rekordbox = trauma bonded 💔

● D-DAY – aka pure chaos

Did I sleep? Nope
Did I panic? Absolutely

At 4am, I remembered: all my tracks were YouTube rips 😬
So I bought them all (RIP wallet) on Beatport at high quality and rebuilt all the cues AGAIN.
Welcome to Pro DJ Mode: Night Panic Edition™

● 3PM

Barely slept, in a taxi now, USB in hand, heart racing, brain buffering…
Ping. Message: "Your slot is cancelled. The venue's not ready" 💀x2

Nope. I go anyway. I beg them in person:
"It's my first gig please I trained so hard blabla…"

They finally say: "You'll play at 10pm... B2B with DJ Kofi Beam"
Me: Great, I don't know how to B2B and my cues are useless now… 💀x3
So ask them to play solo: "Fine, 30 min only"
Iconic 😅

● 4PM

I rush home. Make a new 30-min set.
Buy more tracks (seriously 💸), re-cue, re-practice.
Run it NONSTOP until 8pm, train train train.
Let's. Freaking. Go.

● 9PM

Back at the rave. I ask DJ Kofi Beam for a quick tour. All good.
Then he hits me with: "Where are your headphones?"
Me: 😶

I didn't know I needed to bring them… Such a noob 🫠
Thankfully we found some!

● 9:30PM

Plug in the USB… and BOOM: exFAT format not supported on CDJ-900NXS 🙃
Me: Panic.EXE

Someone hands me a laptop. I transfer everything to a FAT32 USB.
🙏 Memory Cues, don't die on me now please!

● 10PM

Still transferring… Kofi Beam plays instead. Afro House masterclass 🔥
Then: BLACKOUT ⚡ Electrical system dies!
Tech crew rushes in. Fixes it…

10 minutes later: ANOTHER BLACKOUT!
At this point I’m like: "Universe? You tryna tell me something?"

● 11PM

Power’s back. Kofi Beam looks at me: "Your turn, are you ready?"

My mouth: "Yes"
My soul: 😱
My brain: ❌
My hands: 💦

I load the first track… and… blank. Full brain crash!
He does the first transition for me 😅

● 11:10PM

It's finally happening. I'm now live. In front of people.
Playing on gear I only know on Google Image, with someone else's headphones, someone else's USB… All good!

It's pitch dark. I literally use my phone flashlight to find the buttons 😵‍💫
The headphones basically spit in my ears, couldn’t hear a thing…
No dual waveform = no visual beatmatching. Baby DJ 🍼 has to do it all by ear!
My transitions? Let's just say… blessed by chaos 💀

After only 3 tracks, the organizer taps my shoulder: "2 more tracks and you’re done"
Cool cool cool. I just wanna cry, hug my friends, and dissolve into the night…

Set ends. I do exactly that.
My friends hugged me and said they were proud of me!
And honestly? That's all that mattered 🥰

Big up to DJ Kofi Beam who helps a lot 🔥

My Anne, my Fady, my Siu Siu, I love you so much ❤️
____

This is the version of my 30-min gig I imagined playing that night 😎
If my USB worked…
If the power didn't fry…
If I knew how to beatmatch by ear…
If my hands weren't shaking like I just drank 8 Red Bulls...

🎧 Hit play, laugh, dance! We're growing together anyway 😉
