In this video, I break down my prepping for a DJ gig, with footage from my Old Skool House set on the main stage at Ultra Vegas, one of Milton Keynes' legendary club events.
🚨 What’s inside:
🔹 Part 1 – The Booking (7 Days Out): What goes through my head when I get the call-up. Music planning and vibe decisions.
🔹 Part 2 – Midweek Prep: I open up Rekordbox and take you inside my set prep. Thinking through sub-genres, track flow, and building a vibe that fits the Ultra Vegas crowd.
🔹 Part 3 – Gig Day: From the drive to the venue to smashing the main stage.
🔹 Part 4 – The Comedown: My honest post-gig thoughts. What worked, what I played, and how to kickstart a party properly.
