| Jetta Drenzek 15.04.2013 | I became a barman, was offered the job of light jock by chance, then discovered I was in prime position to finally learn how to DJ and get a job. Less than a year later (But with hours and hours of practice, and being a session musician before hand) I'm a working DJ. |
| Augustine Mitzen 15.04.2013 | then there's the moral aspect... |

| Meridith Betsinger 13.04.2013 | There's no magic recipe. Get involved through and through in your local scene or else get bent. |

| Meaghan Machold 13.04.2013 | Hi first off, for your style of music... ur not gonna get booked in ur avg club. so go to the clubs that u kno deal with trap/dubstep and frequent them. like a poster said upstairs... some of the scenes are kinda tight, and if u go up to a manger asking to DJ a evening and he or she has NEVER seen u before in their club, sometimes its hard to break thru. If no one is booking u, then throw ur own party. friends basement, empty warehouse, something, and go from there. also, your trap mix isnt bad ( didnt listen to the rest, jus trap since its only thing im interested in). You could work on a few of ur transitions, and learn when to drop other songs on the down beats, and 4 count measures of songs, but over all not bad. |
| Bunny Sockel 13.04.2013 | Like johney said don't use anything below a 320kbps mp3 in a club. |
| Ethel Feigum 13.04.2013 | Go to the clubs you want to play at and work on meeting the staff, and whoever does the booking. Your mixes seem pretty good to me (listening to the trap mix right now, diggin' it!) Hate to say it, but the fact that you're a girl should give you an advantage, too... |
| Augustine Mitzen 13.04.2013 | that dubstep mix sounds almost as if you were playing youtube rips... edit: actually i'm pretty sure that's what you're doing, so if true, forget about gigs, that's wack |
