DJ Tips for mobile Djs in Oz and a place to chat

[MAGICDJ5]

HEY I JUST WANNA THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO UP LOAD THIS TYPE OF VIDEO, AND TRY TO HELP US FORM YOUR EXPERIENCE!!!

[paraiks]

im a mobile DJ from south texas. i too have noticed that the quality of other DJ's is crap. i live very close to the mexican border....and here i believe thats the problem. many people are coming over to DJ and charging 80 to 100 dollars for 4 hrs, making the rest of us look bad and taking possible gigs from us.i enjoy what i do because i love the music...i first had the library of music then decided to become a DJ. not the other way around.the quality of equipment and professionalism count

First advise ..Piss off! I love it! haha

[martin0mac2000]

hey from melbourne Australia lol!

[pumpcrack]

Exactly, it should be done 4 the love of music and that only. Some ppl just like the idea of bein a dj without puttin in the time and effort. I got my decks 8 months ago and still practice daily for 1-2 hours. You cant beat the feelin of playin somethin to a crowd that uv been practicing 2 get just right and nailin it wit such apparent ease. Its so easy 2 pick out the djs who kno ther tracks inside out and those that just throw anything 2gether and hope 4 the best.

[pumpcrack]

If you dont enjoy it, don't do it, PISS OFF, find another job... THAT'S THE 1st TIP!!!

[SKILLMIX]

Regarding ptactice, I often invision (especially if I have a gig lined up) to be playing before a crowd, and really doing at home what I would do 'live' on two turntables. Thanks for the tip, each one, teach one.

[SKILLMIX]

Readers: Please excuse typo. I meant to type 'Practice', not 'ptactice.' Sorry.

[lokylok204]

lol i didnt even pick it :P

[SKILLMIX]

Powerful words! If one love what they do--then the doing only gets better. I practice threw my headphones, often times using the cue switch like a crossfade; I practice from 8 to 12 times a day. It's nothing to catch me with headphones on while standing over the turntables. As for money, actually I wouldn't mind doing parties for free, its as if I'm playing music at home, but in this world a man can't live on bread along. Get paid for your efforts i say. Just don't over charge.

[malmodude]

thanx for doing this man! people like u who want 2 share their knowledge are much needed. cheers.

[DudasMiska]

yea I totally agree, I dont go to my school dances because there just garbage, like the music doesnt even flow its just one track stops then the other track plays, the dj just uses a laptop and WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER!!!! UNBELIEVABLE! that happens here a lot in Canada I find where its just really low standards, I hope to change that and bring some European dance music in at the same time as people only hear the oldschool techno here and think it all sucks.

[jamesduty92]

I don't even go to my school disco anymore because the dj sucks and has no setup at all, all ive seen is a cd player a mixer and speakers small then 12", and thats it, no lights at all and charges outrageous price for a shitty show. (im from Kiama NSW)

[discodjking]
