Attempted to host a bunch of people and DJ live at the same time.  Took a number of requests during the hour, with some pieces planned out ahead of time.

Stuff to work on!

14:30 Sudden inspiration, with some practice could actually be some cool word play
16:15 Should have been hard bass drop, also slowed it down to speed far too quickly
21:45 is the result of a rushed transition, significantly off beat
25:30 Just a hard stop and start of a track, no echo or anything to start ghostbusters.... (not sure what happened there)
39:40 Relied on a faulty beatgrid and messed up the transition.  
41:40 Several things I want to change with A Milli.  Poor transition in, quickly realized was scaring crowd with harsh electro and rushed in trap queen
49:43 Lost the first couple beats of gold digger drop
53:40 Decided to mix 3 tracks because don't have intro to the motto, ended up getting distracted and cut some of gas pedal too quickly, GET INTRO
59:30 Tried to do the count into bank account with little practice (so much cringe).  Totally messed up cue points.  Brought up bank account intro slowly rather than hard drop as should be.
Random scratching performed by friends that enjoy what I do
Overall I use far too much filter as a crutch when panicking live, Several points where I drop out bass entirely during transition.  Rather rough transitions in general (especially when listened back in headphones), but group seemed to at least enjoy song choices.
