If you have a professional set-up and only cut from track to track with the crossfader and beatmix, that's just being lazy. All turntables and mixers have at least a few effects, and even the most basic setups nowadays have at least three. You have effects, so use them.  You can get echo effects, loop buttons, sample record buttons in your set-up, so learn how to add them to your mixes and sets. All mixers have the equalizer knobs, so you can use these for things like cutting off the bass or removing everything except the vocal track. Experiment with every button on your mixer. Even the play/pause button can be used for things, and in the end however you choose to use these it will be all your personal DJ style. It's not all mixing tracks. You have to throw your entire self into the mix, using hand gestures to lead the crowd. A few hand waving movements go a long way, but you can utilize hand claps, fist pumps, and other movements to get the whole crowd moving along with the music. Move around. If a DJ seems to be digging what they're hearing, people will get on board. If you look like a scientist tweaking dials, people are likely to be intimidated. Make it seem like you're having fun. You're the master of ceremonies, so master that ceremony. Talk to people, field requests, chat up cute dancers, shout-out people's birthdays, ask if everyone's having a good time. Be the face of the party and facilitate the good vibes. It's also good to know when to shut up. Talking to a crowd can be cool, but no more than once an hour is a good rule of thumb. If you're talking between every song, you're ruining it. Uniqueness is important, but it's not the most important thing about being a DJ. Playing a room is a craft. You can put your own spin on things, but it's also important to familiarize yourself with the great DJs of the past, to learn as much as you can about the footsteps you're walking in. This will make you a more humble, talented, and interesting DJ as you move forward. If you want to throw down a dope DJ set in a club, you need to know about and hear the stylings of the following DJs:  Chemical Brothers Grandmaster Flash David Mancuso DJ Andy Smith Ram Jam Rodigan DJ Chuckie DJ Cash Money DJ Marky Carl Cox Jam Master Jay Cut Chemist

One-sentence summary -- Use effects for live surprises. Do more than play music. Talk to the crowd. Study the masters.


Take your bike pump and position its valve end over the valve of the tire you are pumping. The lever on the back of the valve should be touching the hose in the unlocked position. Press the pump valve firmly onto the tire valve, then raise the lever to lock the pump onto the tire valve.  When attaching your pump to the tire, you'll likely hear air escaping. This is completely natural when locking your bike pump valve in place. A Schrader valve generally has a stem, at the end of which is threading for a screw on cap. Inside the end of the stem, you should see a small metal pin. Presta valves, the second most common valve used for bike pumps, will have a thin, threaded cylinder of metal extending from the stem. Many bike pumps come equipped with a Schrader valve, which is also called an American valve. This part is necessary for pumping up your car tires. Raise and lower the pump bar of your bike pump steadily. At regular intervals, check your tire pressure. Overfilling your tires can cause strain on the tire and compromise its integrity.  Always follow the manufacturer recommendations for best results, but generally, avoid filling your tires with five PSI more or less than the recommended amount. A bike pump will move less air at a slower rate than a compressor, which means that this can take quite some time before your tire is filled. In the event you overfilled your tire with air, use your tire pressure gauge or some other tool to press the pin in the center of the tire valve to the side of the valve. This will release air in the tire and decrease pressure.  Check your tire pressure regularly while adjusting. If you release too much pressure, you'll have to pump again.  Be precise when filling your tires with air. Filling tires with unequal amounts of air will cause them to wear out more quickly, negatively impact fuel economy, and more. In the fashion described, move from tire to tire, checking tire pressure, inflating, and adjusting each until all tires are the same pressure. When all tires are complete, take your valve caps from their container and reattach them.

Your battery should be intact with no cracks, and should not visibly leak any battery acid. Do not attempt to jump-start your car if your battery displays signs of these damages, as you may cause injury to yourself or others if you do so. Goggles and gloves will protect your eyes and hands from any sulfuric acid that may eject from the battery.
