Reply to Using a midi controller in a club

I've been dj'ing for a while now at school dances, private venues, some festivals, etc. I'm trying to break into the Club DJ scene and I was wondering if I should go re-invest in some 1200's and a 57sl since I've been only using midi controllers.

Do clubs allow you to bring in something like the vci 380 ? Is it a bad look if your trying to land gigs and just trying to make a name for yourself?

What y'all believe?
