Haha it sure was a blast!
Just seen the video (of which I'll put a link later) of my set that my dad recorded. I had heavy stress during all of the three transitions, but I can't see it back.
I also had the luck of a lifetime with the last transition. I pressed play to beatmatch the tracks and ... HOLY SHIT THIS ISN'T THE RIGHT TRACK! I hurry selecting the right one, and SPIN SPIN SPIN the turntable to get it at the right spot somewhere (which is impossibly hard with the tracks I had in front of me, at the spots they were at), and I meant for them to have their climax together; when first track got it, I just opened the other, HOLY SHIT PERFECTLY ALIGNED!
I. Went. Mad. Mad with joy. But seemingly only in my head.
The judges chose two winners, and a wildcard will be announced this monday.
I wasn't one of the two.
I had spoken with three other DJs (one of which a winner) and they all said the same: "Your set was technically perfect, and though it was good, not for this audience," aka it's not commercial.
No shit sherlock it's not commercial. Big problem. This is a competition for showing DJ talent right?
Anyways, should've expected this... But still. Best was that my dad told me that my set was the only one (of eight) to give everyone a big smile, make a few people shout words of enthousiasm (this I can confirm), and set quite a lot of people to massive raving.
And that is exactly what I did it for. Happy people.
So I'll be uploading the video to Dropbox soonish (if I can).
Collecting dust...Dieselminded drifter dodging delirium in daunting dreamscapes.
