Hi, I figured this site looked as good as any to ask for some advice on how to get started DJing.
Before I get bombarded with jargon, can I stress that I know absolutely nothing about DJing, I've never even tried it.
However, I am looking to start in DJing, with the eventual ambition of getting work in pubs and clubs (yes, I like to think ahead :) )
Firstly, I only have a few hundred quid to spend.
I was wondering what's the best kit to get. If it's possible, I'd like to get something which would last me until I can get some sort of employment. So, I don't want to start out with total newbie kit, that'd be worth nothing after two weeks. However, I don't have a great deal of cash either, so I'm looking for a compromise.
A few more specific questions:
What's best to start out with; Turntables, CD Players, or those MP3 playing DJ things? I like the idea of turntables, but apparently almost all bars use CD Players, and since you have to start out in bars before clubs, then am I right in thinking I should start out with CD players? Or what about these MP3 playing things; are they any good?
Oh and, in Newcastle (and I presume most cities) the majority of bars play cheesy music. One of the few exceptions is Liquid - my favourite, and Legends, and Foundation (home of Shindig). Ideally I'd like to get work somewhere where I can play dance/trance/house etc. Is there any way to get round playing cheesy music and get straight into the dance scene, or is it just a fact of life that I'd have to start with playing crappy stuff like Steps and S Club 7?
Advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Alex |
