Craze is one of those DJ who made his name and reputation with consistently great attitude, outstanding work and lots of energy. He understands that it is more than just selecting a handful of catchy songs, but truly connecting with the audience. His 6 golden rules include a few clever points:

Originality is an absolute key element: when a DJ lacks an original approach, nothing will set his/her work apart.

Practice is another important pillar: the more you do it, the better you get.

Knowing what to do in your particular situation is important: if you are a warm-up act, then act like one. If you are a headliner, make your set memorable. This ties up with the next idea: paying attention to the crowd and your surrounding in order to deliver a better set and see whether or not the audience is enjoying your act. In order to keep the audience (and yourself) engaged, it is also important, according to Craze, to change your set every week and keep it fresh.

Last but not least, a night out is always a party, but you can have fun without getting too wasted. If you don't want or can't stay sober, be sure to remain lucid enough to stay focused on your job.
