How to DJ - Back to Back DJ Sets 7

So that's the different ways you can approach B2B sets but how do you stand out when you are sharing your set time with another DJ. Easy, enjoy yourself and make the best of it. I also suggest looking on the bright side and be grateful you even got a set and an opportunity to potentially make a new friend, a comrade. Also thank the promoter for the opportunity, invite your friends and perhaps get them to cheer every time you put on track, but in saying that ideally support al the other Djs too and do it not just for the recognition that comes from being a DJ but also to help out the scene as the stronger the culture at events, and the more you are part of the re building process post covid, the more success you'll have.

also don't forget to do a follow up and post about the success of the event online and tag the promoter letting everyone know it's the place to be and perhaps even thank publicly the DJ you shared the line up with claiming it was a privilege to share a line up with someone so talented, and if you want to get asked back for more shows, I suggest that you promote the events you wish to be part of, even when you're not playing and even turn up and party when you're not on the line up.

This shows you are a team player and if you want to be on the team, it's good to show that you support the promoters work regardless of what you can get from them. this kind of attitude speaks volumes and is much louder than the person who goes in trying to convince everyone and anyone to give them a show by trying to convince the promoter of there talents, which in truth is how the majority of new DJs act, talking all about themselves, trying to prove they are good enough but showing zero support unless they have something to gain.

We have to lose that mentality. think what can you give, not what can you get and the funny thing is the more you give the more you usually get in return. In saying that you have to check out my free material I'll link in the description below - haha, see what I did there. Just messing with you, anyway thanks for your support and hopefully this video lifts the veil on why you have been asked to do a B2B set and how you can approach it, make the most of it and also come out victorious.

If this kind of stuff interests you 100% check out my club ready course as I have a whole section on the music industry, from tactics that work on how to approach venues for shows, but even more importantly once in, how to get repeat shows and build success for yourself as a DJ. I also share industry insights to avoid falling into the traps literally everyone falls into as let's face it, when it comes to running events and teaching no one has more experience. I ran my own events as a sole source of income for almost 20 years often 3 events per week flying up and down the east coast of Australia, so why take 20 years to learn the ins and outs of the industry when I can teach you everything you need in under a week.

Thanks again and if you're not yet part of my club ready tribe, I'll link in the course below. Thanks for tuning in.
