I'm gonna be a DJ!

Hi friends and fans and thanks again for your follows and comments! It feels good man.

Today I've been straight mixing after being inspired by a close friend of mine who thought that since I love music so much, why don't I practice and gear up to mix professionally in a club. How exciting!

Personally I can have MAJOR gripes when a bad DJ is behind the decks at a club and completely ruins the energy of the club. So theres a lot of self expectation to learn and do it right! But I'm loving it. To start off I'm just using VirtualDJ and mixing from my own personal collection but I'm taking to it really well and having loads of fun.

I'd like to put out to the friends I've made here that if they know of a place to buy DJ gear relatively cheap to post in the comment section with links. SEcond hand gear is fine, as long as it's reliable and quality.

Sorry for the no-links in this post though, I'm thinking I might upload a quick mix I throw together in my next blog. Post a comment saying "Give us a mix!" and if theres enough I'll do just that.

Thanks again!

  2. I've got a friend who does this sort of thing, he says it's an awesome feeling DJing in front of a crowd, being able to let people hear your mixes and everything. Keep at it!

  3. I do paid DJ work every now and then and I would seriously reccommend the Numark Mixtrack or Mixtrack pro. It works great with Virtual Dj and its pretty cheap. Its basically the layout of virtual DJ but in real life. Gives you real sliders to slide n stuff.

  12. Yea I'm aware Baba. I really want to put a lot of effort and time practicing to get everything right. Music is my passion and while I didnt get the opportunity to learn an instrument when I was young I still have the same drive now.

    It's gonna be a long enjoyable ride.

  18. I do a lot a DJ'ing on the side. Most djs cry when they see my equipment. I own all pro touring equipment. QSC PL2 amps, JBL MRX speakers. Couple custom built horns for added long throw bass.
