    James you could make a video on how do you create the set after the music selection, would be really useful.

      True. But you still need some familiarity to get the people hyped. It's hard to get people dancing on tunes they don't know.

    Yo James been following your journey for quite some time now and it's been incredibly inspirational and motivational seeing how much you've grown as an artist.
