“Don't live in fear. If you are scared of a bad mix you will be a bad selector. the 1% of the crowd who are taking notes will find fault with you regardless. Understand there will always be hate. In fact hate is far more of a driver in this business than love. If you engage with the haters it won't be long before they contaminate you with their negativity. Be a zen thing. Ignore them. they really, really, hate being ignored. If you do actually train wreck a mix, there's no reason why the rest of the set can't be awesome. A DJ performing live has more in common with radio than a recording. It's a stream that only moves forward, and mistakes and blips are lost in time. Leave it, move on. No one will remember but the haters. Leave it to them like a gift.”
