☠ Before I started cross-referencing ☠

Actually, the first time I ever had a track played out by a DJ it was a *totally* humiliating experience... 🙈

My track sounded "fine", at home

In the club, it was a jumbled MESS

You could *sort of* hear the vocals

The drums were muffled

The bassline didn't carry across – at all

Whole instruments just seemed to disappear 👻

Friends present congratulated me for getting my music played, but I did NOT feel accomplished 😩

EVERY other track played that night sounded miles better than mine...

Some even sounded miles better than the average track 🙄

That's when I realised I'd been FOOLISH to hand my track out to DJs without first checking how it sounded next to other similar tracks 🤔

Sometimes I meet people who are *afraid* to compare their tracks to recent high quality releases in the same genre...

The thing is, that comparison WILL happen whenever the track is played out... but by then it's too late to do anything about it 💀
