Cut to DJ Mark Ronson

DJ MARK RONSON:

As long as I feel like I know what the first couple songs are, it kind of helps. It doesn't really matter

if it's 300 people in a tiny club or 10,000 people at a festival. There's always some nerves.

What is your favorite thing to do before a show?

DJ Mark Ronson:

My favorite thing to do before a show is intense downhill skiing.
