Do's:

1. Research the local music scene: Before you play in a new country, research the local music scene and understand the type of music that is popular in that region. This will help you to create a playlist that resonates with the local crowd.
2. Familiarize yourself with local laws and regulations: Each country has its own laws and regulations when it comes to music, noise levels, and public gatherings. Make sure you understand the local laws before you start playing.
3. Connect with local DJs and promoters: Networking is key when it comes to international DJing. Reach out to local DJs and promoters to gain a better understanding of the local music scene and to build relationships that can help you secure future gigs.
4. Be respectful of local cultures and traditions: Different countries have different cultures and traditions, so it's important to be respectful of these when you're DJing. Avoid playing music that could be considered offensive or disrespectful.
5. Have a backup plan for equipment and technical difficulties: Make sure you have a backup plan in case your equipment fails or you experience technical difficulties during your set. This could mean bringing extra equipment or having a technician on standby.

Dont's:

1. Assume that your music will be universally popular: What works in one country might not work in another. Don't assume that the music you play in your home country will be universally popular.
2. Ignore local tastes and preferences: To be successful as an international DJ, you need to be adaptable. Don't ignore local tastes and preferences in favor of your own personal preferences.
3. Be disrespectful or dismissive of the local music scene: Even if the local music scene is different from what you're used to, it's important to be respectful and not dismissive. You never know when you might need the support of the local music community.
4. Overpack or bring unnecessary equipment: Overpacking can be a hassle when traveling internationally, and you may end up bringing unnecessary equipment. Be mindful of what you need and leave the rest at home.
5. Forget to take care of yourself: International DJing can be a grueling experience, with long flights, time zone changes, and demanding schedules. Make sure you take care of yourself and get enough rest to perform at your best.
