New dj with questions
New dj with questions Posted on: 25.06.2013 by Debbi Gotberg I am new to the dj scene. I always loved djing and decided to make a serious effort into learning the art. I find myself running into a problem. How do I go about getting a good collection of music? I'm in my 30's so there is a lot of old school stuff hip-hop and house i would love to have also stuff I won't remember until I hear it. Any sites that is recommended or should I look to buy a HD from a dj selling their music? | |

| Layne Koop 27.06.2013 | Find a good used music store in your area. Go in, tell them what you kind of music you like, ask for suggestions. |

| Hipolito Scionti 27.06.2013 | iTunes got some really good old skool compilations of most genres... good way to get your collection up to speed quickly But agreed youtube / blogs / searching for top 100s blogs etc Where there's a will there's a way |
| Olin Easley 27.06.2013 | As long as there is a legal way to obtain a track, you can get away with getting it illegally. It's just common courtesy not to do it. |
| Hellen Mindrup 27.06.2013 | Yeah, as a true DJ you should really buy your own tracks.. Unless artists have free promo downloads of songs they never release.. Then it's a different story. You want everything to be as legit as possible so you don't run into copyright issues with Soundcloud, etc. |

| Ema Wishman 26.06.2013 | Ebay! I have bought loads of good old music in vinyl and CD format. You need to have a rough idea what you're searching for. Or perhaps just "old school house" might bring up some stuff. And Amazon, has used things for sale. Try them too for old CDs etc. Regards |
