how do you open your dj set?

[edpowers]

fuck the previous dj...run the needle across whatever bullshit record he was playing..(that way you'll get the crowds attention)...grab the mic and say "YA'LL MUTHAFUCKAS READY FOR THE REAL SHIT SAY HOOOOO!!!!!" at this point drop a loop of Flash's theme by Queen on -8 pitch then lead the crowd in the call/response of your choice
something like "when i say dj...yall say ... (insert dj name here) ...dj ... (name)... dj... (name) "

then say "big shout to (fake celebrity who really isn't there) in the house..i see you dog...imma bout to do this....here we go "

then transform scratch into whatever song you choose to play..

HA !

well, i start out pretending im grandmaster flash, what would he do to rock the crowd, put on some dopeass oldschool shit, the mexican maybe, or some mandrill, i might throw on a couple of cutback recs just to test the set, see if the needles are jumpin off, if the crossfader works ok, stuff like that... check out the crowd, who's up, who's at the bar, what do they want/ need to get down to, try to feel that and so on...................!
