Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
I used to get to the club early and get set up before the doors were open, but now I have openers and closers. I typically hit them up to see how the night is looking so I know what to expect when I get there. I usually arrive around 12:30 a.m. and then go on right at peak time. I immediately try to bring the energy up a few notches. I have a bunch of great openers that I use. They know not to play certain records, but I’m not opposed to them running a few of the bigger tracks. I know I can go on and still kill the party, even if the DJ spinning before me really has the crowd rocking.

rematar la fiesta
Creo que en este contexto "kill the party" tiene un significado positivo. Viene a decir que aunque los DJs anteriores la hayan hecho muy bien él es capaz de rematar la fiesta.

incendiar la fiesta
Me parece más explícito, pero con contenido positivo, es decir: hacerlo tan bien que deje a todos los demás a la altura del betún.
