 This will decide if you sink or swim Colin. Remain calm and just do your 
 stuff - Don't let the nerves show! You'll get ribbed by a few wannabees who 
 will all to quick tell you that you are crap and that they are better DJ's. 
 I usually use the line 'So you're not working tonight then?' 
  
 You can take the attitude ;This is what I play - take it or leave it; (this 
 usually results in no further work/sets) or read the audience and pitch it 
 at them. From the club owners point of view he want people in and drinking - 
 to get this he needs them to be enjoying themselves - so my advice play to 
 THEM not to you, and as long as you can half mix a couple of tunes together 
 you'll be fine. 
  
 Despite practicing like mad for six months - 
  
  
  
  first set, only been mixin for less
