What to do for a 5 minute DJ set????

dubgoo · 03-15-2018, 03:55 PM

Im in my school's talent show this year and there's a lot of people....acts can't be that long and I asked for 10 minutes but they told me that wouldn't be fair which is understandable so they say max is 5 minutes. My talent is DJing so what am I supposed to do for 5 minutes? They told me it's either 5 minutes as a contestant or I can get 10 minutes but I'll just be a intermission-type act and I can't compete...I'm using a DDJ-SB2 so I have hot cues and jog wheels and all that stuff, should I do a live edit of one song or snippets of a bunch of songs or I don't know...help, please! My rehearsal is next week. Thanks!

Just spend the whole five minutes telling the crowd that you're a DJ.

Get a black person to tell them.

I am black...so did either of you have a real answer or no, because I really need help :/

Do snippets of a bunch of songs.

And use real vinyl

Do what's most true to your personal style.

You should probably just kill yourself. That's way too much stress for a high schooler.

Plus he’s probably going to die in a school shooting anyway.
