Im a DJ and I always get asked to host mixtapes but I dont really know what goes into that. Help me out.
 
What is your age and how long have you been DJing? Hosting means that you, the DJ, showcases, if you have any, mixing, scratching, blending, and any other relevant skill associated with the art of DJing. In the current era of DJing many are annoying would be hypemen (i.e. DJ Khaled) douchebags (i.e. DJ Vlad), etc. and it would wise of you to not enter that territory. The best DJs let the mixtape be about the artist that they are championing. The worst ruin mixtapes with constant yelling.
 
just basically talking over tracks hyping it up for the listener with noises or what you say
 
I would try limit the talking to a minimum and only on parts of tracks that are not the climaxes. where a mc on a stage with a big crowd can help to fire up everyone, there is nothing as irritating as listening at home to live sets with someone yelling through the music.
