    Rap music now has to be one of the most “unfriendly to DJs” music now. No intros, breaks, etc…even when I hear guys playing it it seems like there’s no sense of flow.

    Thanks for the responses everyone.

    I definitely agree. The choruses are often too short and I don’t want to wait until the very end to mix into another song (people grow impatient if you let a song run too long, they want to hear the next one)

    I have a large collection of “FunkyMix” remixes, these are helpful for mixing as they have intros/breaks/outros – but still, it’s not necessarily intuitive as to what song mixes well with another (even if they’re the same BPM)

    Look to other DJ’s mixes for inspiration.

    But other than that, you shouldn’t actually play it during a live set. I mean I know it may not be your intention to act like its yours, but that’s what people will assume.

    What fun is there? I know I personally rock out the whole time, jumping up and down, etc. At the end of the night, I’m tired as hell, but it’s worth it. Nothing quite like it.

    You really need to take a break, let a song play out longer before you mix it into another one. Or as someone suggested, play your own mixes for bathroom breaks or w/e

    I admire that!
    My “go-to” DJ playlist is about 5 GB

    I’m just a huge music lover in general – I think part of the reason my collection is so large is that it contains entire discographies from artists I love – The Beatles, Michael Jackson, and 2pac for example. That and I only seek HQ.

    I wasn’t aware, can you give me some examples?

    Also a huge Avicii fan.
    Love Dr. Dre’s and Kanye’s beats.

    You can always count on RedOne, Dr. Luke, Max Martin to make solid hits

    Favorite Remixers: Jump Smokers, Jason Nevins, Wideboys, Sex Ray Vision, Liam Keegan, Dark Intensity

    Skrillex is a true visionary. A constant innovator, he’s really going to make waves in the EDM world.

    I’ve been DJing for a year
    Started out on VDJ just like you.

    Before you start looking for gigs, it’s import to have a solid foundation. Really go back to the fundamentals. Learn how to count music in bars and phrases. Record sets and critique song transitions. Better yet, get other people to critique it too. Remember that song selection is more important than mixing.

    Most importantly, what are you going to do that sets you apart from other DJs? How are you unique?

    I started shadowing other DJs. I would spend hours behind the booth, watching and learning all the subtleties that go into DJing. When you’re confident enough that you have a good idea of the fundamentals, go ahead and get yourself a controller. Then practice, practice, practice.

    Then, work on marketing to get your name out there. But again, you have to set yourself apart.

    Let’s see. Late January 2010 was when I first decided I wanted to be a DJ. Had my first gig in May 2010.
