no offense but a lot of you guys responded in a dick way.

most likely I would guess that those who did are the ones who have little to no musical talent.


keep it friendly guys

i just lol'd hard...welcome to the internet

no offense...it's gotten alot more dick than that. Wait till you post your first 12 minute mini mix. Jason will eat you for lunch.

Only until you get to know me

[dripstep]

Jason, hope you are hungry. Might be a mini mix comin up.

OP, we are just taking the piss. That's kind what happens when any of these show up in a post:

How to I become the next big DJ
I wanna get the best gigs
What should I play
Anything with the word sync
What should I buy

This is a friendly place, and most of the "dickish" comments are all in good fun. No offense intended bro. But you should play some countstep.

i'm not sure what else i can add here, but i don't think djing is any more accessible than producing. it just depends on what you are more suited for and more interested in. since i got ableton and maschine producing has gotten way more accessible for me personally, although i have a lot to work on for sure and it's not an easy road by any means.

djing is a long difficult path as well. you have to find your voice just like with productions. you have to spend an infinite amount of time finding tracks, keying tracks, tagging tracks, sorting tracks, editing tracks, gridding tracks, and practicing to become consistently good. maybe it's just me since i have music of every genre to deal with and i will never be able to play only one type of music for the long haul. i may go through a faze where i only spin house, but i need other styles to keep me happy and balanced. also, i have a bad memory so that doesn't help.

if i were you i would make sure you tag, organize, and prep your tracks as you get them, since going back and sorting through an entire library is very time consuming. try to come up with a good workflow before you start and you will save yourself some time and headaches for sure. i am learning that the hard way, but i just have to power through it.

You should figure that out on your own, according to what's hot in your city, instead of coming on a forum with members from all over the globe asking them what kind of genre you should play.

Around here (Toronto), the EDM is dead (or dying) if you ask me. Very few venues cater to those events, and the guys that DJ at them are part of a boys club that started long ago...So if you didn't get in on the ground floor, you have little to no chance now. Even the attendees are always the same, as they're also part of that boys club.

The trendy thing here is the hipster douche-y, old school soul, funk, motown etc played on vinyl. Personally I can't stand that stuff and would rather DJ at weddings.

Kind of sad to hear that about TO. When I was living there (Mid-late 2007) the scene was strong and thriving, and now with all the big names and labels coming out of TO I thought it would have even been better than when I was there.
