BRMC Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Alright everyone interested to give a little advice. I'm the kinda guy who loves my music, really into my indie rock n' roll like The Stone Roses, Oasis, Kasabian, The Jam, throwing in a of bit of The Coral, Jamie T etc .. you get the idea of the sorta music I'm into. Going to clubs in Aberdeen like O'neils, Exodus and a recent trip to Firewater in Glasgow has made me very interested in picking up DJing in these sorta places with the type of music they play, and here's where I need the help!I have absolutely no idea what I should do to get started. For example, is it really as easy as selecting a cd and playing it? I think no , but I have no idea. Saw a couple of threads relating to this but they were from a couple of years ago so I thought I'd refresh it. So would be much appreciated in getting tips, advice, anything basically related to becoming a DJ in these sort of clubs and what equipment I need etc. Just .. anything! All I know is my confidence in playing the right tunes, especially in O'neils! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripey Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 djing that kind of music is pretty simple, get a pair of cd decks and take 5 minutes to learn how to cue tracks. There's nothing to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakzrus Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 yo, first off dont be a 'choose a record n press play' DJ (if you can call them dj's) they are in my opinion pish and ruin what a dj is really about, dj's should be creative and almost sort of interesting to listen to, with the types of music your speakin about mixing might be a bit hard to do but do-able with practice, pretty much just practice and enoy it, if youve got any mates who play go chill with them n get some tips n techniques. one last thing when your DJing make shure you keep your levels consistent. peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
