So You Want To Be A DJ?
One of the most common things I’m asked is how to get started as a DJ. Questions range from the highly technical – what equipment to buy – to the esoteric – how to read the floor and choose songs. There are a lot of places to go to find this information in bits and pieces. Hopefully here, I can collate a lot of those thoughts through my own experience and give you some good answers on how to get started with your own DJ career.
I’ve broken this topic down into a few sections to make parsing all the information just a little bit easier.
* DJ Motivations – Why should you be behind a mixer?
* DJ Tech – What gear should I get and why?
* Music Exploration – Where do I go to find good music?
* At The Gig – How do I actually go about moving the floor?
