ParticipantI get maybe 95% of my EDM tracks from a DJ pool, other 5% from either Itunes or beatport when exclusive or pool dosen’t have one specific song, witch is rare.
I’m currently suscribed to zipdj.com. It has all current top 40, electro and prog house and A LOT of house and tech house witch I’m moving to. Used to be with djcity but switched to a better EDM genre pool and better service, but at a bit higher price unfortunatly.

ParticipantIm using a s2 also, what kind of cables should i get for clubs? Would rca be enough or some might require other kinds of cables?
ParticipantSorry about the typos, im french canadian using an iphone
🙁ParticipantWell from what you explained, the manager seems like the proud type. Spending a lot on visual effects to get a wow reaction from the crowd and talking about having the best that might also suggest he dosnt know much a out dj equipment so… You may walk on a thin line :
1. Telling him about the crappy equipment might upset him and you may pass as a diva;
2. He might take your word and buy brand new equipement.But… Do you think you are the first dj to talk to him about it? Specially if hes asks every dj to bring usb drives?
I would play it safe (since he pays so well) and request you bring your own equipement, and if he gets annoyed by that, simply say your more confortable that way, and one thing we say a lot in my day job, train as you fight, so fight with what your used to
June 8, 2012 at 11:02 am in reply to: Absolute beginner questions: Something silly you were afraid to ask… #1005845ParticipantHavent ben around the DJ community for long, a list of most used accronyms with definition could be helpful ie What the heck is a DAW?
ParticipantI would say yes, but thing is, djs here dont seem to keep themselves up to date with current top charts of new hits. Its not really a small town but a small city. They so like progressive hits but are a little late. For example, last year One from SHM was THE song of the hour and could play 3 times a night, now on a local resident dj’s top them you see tiesto’s zero 76. My music would definatly take off on a good pace, but i know i would still play 60 to 70% radio hits. So choosing the right order not to lose anyone and possibly getting booked again… When ill feel ready that is!
ParticipantFound only one alternative for this… Make up page insted of a dj account, then link your usual fb account as an administrator (to use your friend list)
I didint see any other options, but works quite well
ParticipantYes, even if these arguments are interesting, were kinda getting away from the subject, im not here to start a war between club and wedding djs.
To add a litte more to this thread, i come from a big town where clubs play lets say tracks you usually find on top charts progressive and electro. Now i got posted (military) to this small town, where the club djs arent that great at all (this is why i started learning djing, just to stop bitching about them and become one myself) and the music they play… Imagine a dj putting in a tao cruz cd, hitting play n repeat… Ok maybe not that bad but you get the picture. Knowing a lot of good people, i could get a gig pretty easily, but im still too unsure of myself to do it right away, and even tho i know i have good music taste, im afraid people wont enjoy themselves until i play those radio hits… Wich sometimes i can hear 2 to 3 times a night
Anyone has this problem?
ParticipantYes indeed its pretty hard to explain, but thanks to you 3, its pretty enlightening. This is my first post on the forum, I truly didn’t expect to be answered with so much explanations.
Reason808… about that ”songs about books” example…. can’t help but wonder about that one lol 😛
ParticipantFor that i guess its trial and error, but there must be some basic tips for a newbie without any live experience in a club yet?
