My name is Alex.. my name is Alex.. my name is Alex.. my name is... #$@#$^@$#^()@%^() Posted on: 30.06.2012 by Verdell Mulroney Sorry for the weird topic name pathetically derivative of a certain 303 bassline driven 110bp'ish track.But I'm just getting into Djing after a long stint (well ongoing really) attempt at production, electronic performance, etc. It seems that being whatever you set you're mind to is not quite as straight-forward as my 2cd grade teacher told me it was. So I'm looking to throttle that residual creative fuel into djing as, not to offend, but it seems much, much more readily accessible. I've got a pretty decent traktor setup and I'm beginning to know how to use it. IF I were to want to get out of the house and get some decent fun paying gigs, what would any of you seasoned gigging dj's recommend? Which type of records should I spin to get the best gigs the quickest? Is edm to much of a niche thing? I was believeing about just getting a collection of top 40, some house, some dubstep, some hip hop and just coming up with a creative 1-2 hour long set? If I did that and had that ready to go, is that something I'd be able to find even modest gigs with? basically i'm just looking fo advice.. thanks | |
| Maricruz Mouw 30.06.2012 | who beatmatches when you have sync? |
| Yong Aptekar 30.06.2012 | Shane says its hard, I say its easy. Download the top40 off of MTV, load track A, press play, beatmatch track B, press play. So simple yo! Rinse and repeat. |
| Salvatore Husley 01.07.2012 | It's not going to a quick ride into a club if you want to be good at it. Just like producing, djing is a never ending learning experience. It may take you 6 to 18 months of HARD work to get to the point where you can play out. Not only that you need the love for the music you are playing. You shouldn't be asking us what genre you should be playing. That should be your first step. Second step is practice for the next couple of months. Keep your track collection up to date. And then practice some more. When you can mix well for a couple of hours then you will be ready to play at a paying gig. |
| Margie Pavell 01.07.2012 | how about finding what you like...spin that...get good at it...then look for gigs? carriage horse something something... |
| Yong Aptekar 30.06.2012 | Country/dubstep is blowing up right now. Spin that, and you should have gigs in a month. |
| Linda Chavda 30.06.2012 | If you set your mind to it you can do whatever you please. I don't understand why you'd want to play music you don't have a passion for, but yeah, if you're going to get into it just try and enjoy the scenery, it's usually pretty good. |
