youre reminded of mixing while you try to keep the speedo exactly on the sped limit (beatmatching. believe of the pedal as the pitch fader, the needle as deck b and the speed limit as deck a)

When you know the difference between monitos and regulr speakers.

When you cannot get off this community even while at work.

When you try to see if a song falls in the 120-140 bpm range while watching a movie.

When you can't walk by a record store without at least going in for a bit.

Every time you hear the word vinyl you believe " man, nothing sounds as good as vinyl"

Don't believe that is a rule. more like a misconception or misunderstanding of counting beats in a measure.

You beatmatch EVERYTHING. Period. Walking down the street and hear a rhythmic car engine so you fall into time, random noise in class, guess what, you just beat matched that to the pace you type/write at.

when you idle in the #djranking s irc channel all day on your phone in school


also when studying the brain in psychology picturing it as the most killer setup

corpus collasum - cross fader
left/right hemisphere - decks
thalamus - mp3 library
temporal lobe - master output
medula - super USB hub

Pick any two songs from one of those genres, they usually sound the same. Rule of doubles.

(Just joking.)

Hahah yeah I got that - when watching A-Trak at SW4 he was basically just playing a tiny loop but I recognised it as the intro to his robot rock beatjuggle routine having watched it about a million times on youtube... it was sick

when the people next to you in class say 'i love pauly D!!!! did you hear his song?!?!? beat that beat'
so you throw out a random electro song for them to look up, and they call you a hater....

when it pisses you off that the dude driving by is blasting americano

when another guy is blasting california girls in a white escalade with big shiny rims

when your conversation leads to how to tell the difference between many kinds of music only by the
BPM

when you get mad explaining the rule of doubles with dnb and dubstep


all this happened today...

I believe you know you're a DJ when you're listening to someones set and you hear the tiniest sound and know it's a certain track. Even at its quietest.
