I love doing warmup sets, start when the floor is still empty, seeing the people come in and slowly and steady building an atmosphere. Keeping enough room for the headline DJ, trying to warm up the crowd but not overheat them is a really interesting task. Not the most thankful task usually because you don't play 'hands in the air' peaktime bangers but if you do it right the promoter and headline DJ see that. 10 Years ago I started getting booked by (late) Jerry van Schie to do the warmups at his events, it was a real honour to get noticed by him because he was a veteran in the scene. He's not around anymore to thank him unfortunately but I owe him big time for these opportunities. I found a recording from that time I opened for Pole Folder in Amsterdam...
