Mate if youv only 30 minutes then hit the crowd hard. Forget about build ups,use those 30 minutes to impress the people and have them say to your mate over the next few days *That fella you had dj at your party,have you any mixes of his??*

Go big and play well known tunes and a few vocaly ones.

Might just be a 30 minute mix but you want people to talk about that 30 minute mix tomorow and the next day and the next Spot on


Dont forget to report back and let us know how it went dance

sorry im a bit late on this but, firstly, good onya for havin such a great time! i luv it to wen people just get up and dance and have a good time. its awesome! umm ok, wen u sed it was a bit harder to mix, the obvious this is to turn your headphones up. i saw on one of the DJ Tutor vids on youtube that you level your headphones to the same level as the sound coming out of you monitors.. not sure if u had monitors tho. but hopefully that comes in of some help when you mix next.
