1. Listen To The Classics
Shazam classic DJ sets and music documentaries to add secret weapons to your classics collection.

Stop playing MP3s and start collecting WAVs and AIFFs; on a big sound system, you can really hear the difference.

Categorize your music into several moods, like ‘build-up’, ‘peak-time’ or ‘tools’ to always have playlists to fall back on.
4. Investigate, Investigate, Investigate
Investigate the venue, time slot and line-up of every gig, so you know what to expect and how to prepare.
