Major Milestone Time!:

I made my DJing debut at BluJaz @Good Times on the 5th of June 2009! (((: Over a week ago? YES I PROCRASTINATED! Sorry ): haha. Thanks to everyone who came down to support! I really REALLY appreciate it. So sorry if I wasn’t able to hang out long enough with you guys, I had to do a lot of table hopping that night ):

Anyways, I have to say that it was one heck of an experience! Spinning electro clash for a crowd that knows how to appreciate good music! People were dancing, I made very minimal (read:ONE) mistake, and a lot of people approached me with really good comments about my mix. Heck, this random Australian girl approached me while I was spinning on the decks and was giving me props like hell, and I really didn’t know how to respond. HAHA. but it was cool! (: I really loved the experience, and I hope to build up this art further in the near future with more gigs!

There was once this wise DJ who’d told me; DJing is 5% technical ability, and 95% music. And I really believe it to be so. Through the process of me learning the decks and all in the past 6 months or so, I’ve really been introduced to so many new artistes, its scary! I’ve discovered so many gems, be it through personal recommendations or through various DJing websites, I’ve improved my musical knowledge by leaps and bounds! The subtle differences between the 1001 genres, beat patterns and all that. Heck, DJing had in fact, totally changed my musical direction for my music production side-projects! And for that I have NUS’ SYNQ DJing society to thank for. Its been an awesome ride so far, and I DEFINITELY hope my future rides will still be as awesome, if not better!
