I'm an avid visitor of your site and I really am coming along in leaps and bounds as far as djing is concerned, hardly a day goes by without something improving or my setup getting that little bit sweeter, but I just dont know what to do to get gigs! My style of music (Trance) just isn't popular anymore round here anymore so its difficult to find a place that will let you play. :( Any sensible advice?

@JimboPH Google "digital dj tips promote parties part 1" for a whole series on promoting - putting on your own small night is definitely the way forward for you.

1. I live for music. Its my love in life.

2. Tech ability is just part of the music so see above. Im a moderate geek, lol.

3. I look like a dork on the dance floor but I have the time of my life.

My decision to give this a go is purely for listening joy and be more involved in what Im listening to. I dont want to be a "DJ" I just want to DJ.

Thanks for the vids, appreciate the advice.

i just decided i might as well share why i started to love music, sense you did, it started, when i was about to go to a rave with a friend, i didn't really listen to much techno or anything, so i got on google and decided to listen to some, the second i heard hardstyle kick drums pounding their bass into my ears i was hooked, and my love's only grown sense then

@DaveTheTechGuy Sounds like you've definitely got what you need then, especially as you're called "DaveTheTechGuy" so you have the geek angle... ;)

@MrDarthSeriousmixes I started my own night and made it a success. It took 5 years! But I "made it" as a DJ in that time.
