DJ Big D premieres at Fun Pit!

My first time DJing at Fun Pit! (click on above picture to see the playlist more clearly)


I reckon Fun Pit has a much more laid back feel compared to CBD. There are many more beginners here, and the social dancing only starts at 9.30pm. There are still 2 DJ slots, but each slot is only about an hour.


I was told to play slower songs for the first part of my set. The floor full for the entire set, but I did get a few requests from the more experienced dancers to play something basically faster. They liked 'Bogangles' but it wasn't enough. Next time I might hang loose a bit more and spin a bigger variety of songs (varying speed, style, and energy more). Or I might just ask to do the second set instead. Of course it all depends on who turns up.


No probs with the equipment. The mixing board takes a pair of those standard-sized 6.5mm male jacks. Luckily, Sam had a pair of RCA-converters handy for me to borrow. I've now bought my own.


Swing Patrol are trying to encourage more social dancing here by introducing a live band (first gig June 22nd). I hope it works out! It's quite exciting actually!
