As a DJ, you're the maestro of the dance floor, orchestrating beats and melodies that keep the crowd moving. But what happens when nature calls, and you're faced with the ultimate DJ dilemma: a full bladder during your performance? Been there! Here are some strategies to help you handle those urgent moments without missing a beat:
Strategic Song Selection
The Long Track Trick: When you feel the urge, cue up a longer track. Especially house tracks that have their extended durations. Slip away during one of these marathon mixes, and your secret is safe.
Pre-Made Mixes: Prepare a pre-made mix that seamlessly transitions between tracks. This gives you a few extra minutes to dash to the restroom without leaving the decks silent.
Timing Is Everything
Choose Quieter Moments: Observe the dance floor. There are downtimes even during high-energy sets. Use these slower moments to slip away. Your audience won't notice a brief absence during a breakdown or transition.
Delegate and Communicate:
Have a Backup DJ: If you're playing a marathon set, consider having a backup DJ on standby. They can step in while you take a quick break. Teamwork makes the dream work!
The Art of Subtlety:
Master the Discreet Exit: Don't sprint offstage like you're escaping a fire. Walk calmly, nod to the crowd, and disappear backstage. They'll assume it's part of your performance, lol
Backstage Bathrooms: Many performance venues have bathrooms conveniently located backstage. Familiarize yourself with their locations before your set.
Remember, DJs are human too! Prioritize your well-being while keeping the dance floor grooving. And if all else fails, just blame it on the bass – after all, it's all about those low frequencies! 🎧🚽🎶
