Do you get smashed on drugs before your set or wait until after?

I got wrecked for about 13hours before I played at Atomik 3 (my first big set! uhoh).... Thought I wasn't going to make the set at one point!  Worked out ok in the end but hasn't put me off - I'm an idiot.  Usually get a little bit 'merry' biggrin

I've had some of my best sets off my face, remember walking or wobbering up to the decks years back and played one of my best sets yet. I've grow up alot since then and wouldn't do it that bad now no way. I can play on nothing and look like am off my face cause am always bouncing about the decks haha.

I wouldn't quite put it like that...unless you're getting paid a tonn which more often then not people aren't and are doing for free so they're there to entertain not 'work'.

and I like to get pretty drunk before playing anywhere...helps relax and enjoy meself more.

I remember when a board member who shall remain nameless played at a banging tunes party, he had white powder dripping from his nose and was starring at us all with a very vague look on his face. The second tune he put on he played until the very end forgetting he was the dj, then everyone shouted OI Oi, and he said oh yeah, sorry!

I used to be a nightmare, but made the decision to stay straight headed before sets this year, feel liked i have upped my game because of it, although i do like to let my hair down after!!!
Does make staying awake hard though, as i found out at twist last week, i was shattered by time i'd finished my set!

When I used to play out I found If I had any charlie before had unless I had a few beers with me id slowly drift away into paranoia and want to hide under the decks, got far too edgy to mix well too.

Done some wicked sets after a good gurner or two, everything flows with very little effort, although the size of my jaw reflects thr level of concentration Im putting in(my eyebrow slowly rises up to the closer I get to a drop laughing probably my best set ever though was a after a skinfull of beer, a FAT slug of MCat just before I went on and a gurner during the set did a random as fuck mix of bouncy hard house, euro HT, Techno, hard techno and shranz, went down a storm though suprisingly! laughing

In summary drugs and mixing; hit and miss, and save a couple of beers for dutch courage probably best left along.

Just copious amounts of beer does it for me.  I hate mixing straight, just end up double guessing myself all the time.

I've only ever missed one set due to being too pissed, and that was on my birthday so I had an excuse.  I did however play DMF - Palpitation 3 times in a set once as I was so twatted laughing

Depends on the venue, the crowd, how I feel. At festivals I enjoy euphoric experiences on stage, just trying not to get lost in visuals and physical waves is it's own thing.

I used to mix under the influence all the time, but mostly have been straight when playing out. Haven't done drugs for well over 5 years now. Haven't touched my decks in 18 months - the tunes do sound better when your wasted.

If and when I do start playing out (I remain positive it will happen one day) I'll blates need some courage for the first few - which would most likely become a habitual part of playing out.
