Now does anyone have any good advice, and tips on how to be and do the best!! Listen to every new record that comes out. Buy the ones you like, not the ones that are popular. Spend all your spare cash on vinyl, it's a DJ's lifeblood. I don't care how good your mixing is, if your tunes are [censored], no-one will listen.

I don't care how good your mixing is, if your tunes are [censored], no-one will listen. thats crap advice. i suggest you buy every tidy/nukleuz tune. dont even listen to tunes unless theyre on a major label. the only exception to this rule is bootlegs. find as many cheesy bootlegs of house/trance/pop records you can find. if tunes are crap then play em late on in your set when people are to bolloxed to notice. as for when to mix the records in, most tidy tune now have instructions included with the vinyl on how to mix it in Quote Mr Happy's fishy fish MangaFish munch munch MSN & e-mail - mangafish@mangafish.net AOL - MangaMorgan Online mixes - http://www.mangafish.net/mixes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTW Members Mr Happy Posted January 6, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted January 6, 2004 the best advice i could give you is: be yourself behind the decks. the technical stuff comes with time, but once you have your style the rest comes quickly (imo) Quote Mr Happy's fishy fish MangaFish munch munch MSN & e-mail - mangafish@mangafish.net AOL - MangaMorgan Online mixes - http://www.mangafish.net/mixes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care how good your mixing is, if your tunes are [censored], no-one will listen. You might not be able to listen to every new tune but make an effort to check out genres that you don't usually listen to. If you don't make an effort to try new styles of music, you won't magically "get into" them. My main thing at the moment is techno, but some of my favourite tracks for a techno set are not "strictly" techno. In fact my favourite thing is a mash-up of house, techno and trance, albeit in a techno style/context. IMHO the best DJs make an effort to cross more than one established genre.

CTW Members FredTheBaddie Posted January 7, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted January 7, 2004 liquideyes said: You might not be able to listen to every new tune Well, no. But you never know when there's going to be some really good/obscure mix on a record you'd never dream of playing the 'main mix' of. It keeps sets interesting, and it's all part of educating your audience. For example, I've got a quality Hard House mix of DJ Misjah's Access that on paper just wouldn't work. You just never know til you listen to a track.
