Ha Ha! Bodafon Farm????

my first 'proper' set in a club was at my own night called Evolution that was held at The Orange Peel in Rhyl, N.Wales.

my first set outside of my own night was at an event called Species @ The Park in Manchester.
Welcome to the Darkside!

My first one was on a forum metting in collogne. I am a member of a german techno internet forum and since the beginning of this year, we´ve been doing techno partys all over germany (next one on november 16th).

I was a little nervous before my set, especially since we didn´t have monitor speakers, and I´m not really used to mixing without monitors. But everything went well and I gave it my best from 7 to 9 am.

There´s a video of the second party online. you can get it here ftp://upload:techno@music-files.my-s...:999/Upload/by Chemo/USB 2 Divx - filmed by X-Treme & ripped by Chemo.avi if anyone has a fast public server I can also upload an 8 minute 60mb excerpt of my set

my first dj gig was great...

My first gig was at Eurobeat 2000 @ Turnmills , London.

I played a two hour warm up set. I was so nervous,,

when i started there was nobody in the club except me and the security. I just got my head down and started . I was really concentrating on not making a mistake. I remember looking up, about one and a half hours into my set and seeing a completely full dancefloor going nuts. I was completely blown away. It was a great night.

also playing that night was Robert Armani and Lenny d.

I played for peanuts, infact it cost me more to get there than i got paid. but i did not care. It was a great experience that I will never forget.

..woz at a little sqwot party in Reading on a pair of shitty 'fisherprice' belt-driven decks. I'd had a lot to drink but didnt go too bad considering.

Warm up for Suburban Knight/James Pennington @ Flux.

(This I deem to be my first "proper" gig- had actually been playing out since 1998........)

I'm really gonna show my age now but my 1st gig was at Pockets club next to Watford Junction station in April 1987. I was playing Hip-Hop / Rare Groove under my old dj name MISTIC. And I can remember a young Danny Williamson (LTJ Bukem) coming upto me at the end of the night asking if I wanted to sell my copies of "feelin James" which was and still is a hard record to get hold of. We managed to hire the club for £50 and told the owner is was for a birthday party but we sold tickets around Watford / St Albans and made about £1000.
And from then on no looking back.
