MemberCool! I‘ll be sure to put your web page on my bookmarks!
I don‘t got any mixes yet, but I will be looking into it soon! Maybe production comes first, I‘ll never know! 🙂
MemberI‘m not sure, I just seem to recognize your name from somewhere! Have you been on any bigger events or got any groups doing some PR for you?
Pleased to meet you too, btw! And no, I havn‘t got any produced material yet.. I am going to look into some production and making some mixes soon, though!MemberLovely mix! We seem to have quite a similar music taste when it comes to tech/house/electro/DontKnowWhatToCallIt 😀 Keep posting them, I‘ll be glad to hear more!
MemberSomehow, your name seems familiar.. I think I‘ve picked it up somewhere online some time ago!
‘Nyways – Welcome to the forums, Shoni!

Alright, I guess I‘ll make another one sometime today 🙂
MemberI think my first gigs gave me about 2000 NOK (A tad more than $300 and about £250). Still the same sallary, sometimes 800 NOK more. My best paid gig (and also my most enjoyable) was about 4000 NOK. DJing around my area is quite well paid since I am the only DJ within a 2 hour radius (More or less) ^_^
MemberSince we’re already on the theme “effects and looping”, I was wondering if anyone of you had some great tips on which effects you really love and which you detest and normally stay away from? Concidering myself fresh on DJing and quite unexperienced, I really need tips on this particular theme. I normally stick to three effects while mixing with my Traktor and S4, where Beatmasher and Delay is mostly used for the buildups. I’m not so familliar with the looping except from the fade overs – I love looping a particular part of a song with the particular text that people normally remember or know, so that when I faded the song completely, I go straight into some dope drop of the song so the crowd goes insane. Not used too commonly as they would get tired of this. Same goes with beatmashing and delaying – Doing this about 5-10 sec before the drop of a song goes down really helps me make the crowd go wild!
MemberI know exactly what you feel. I got a type of special music style that I prefer to DJ, but the crowd never goes as wild as I would since they have not heard about big DJs. My crowd mostly sticks to the silly mainstream music – and as someone said I am paid to entertain the crowd. Not myself.
However, I‘ve found a great way to mix things in where I give the crowd a break to get a shot or drink and play my lovely music. Normally I continue playing the mainstream hip hop/club music that I notice my crowd enjoys (Normally takes me about an hour to adapt completely). I normally find some songs I know they enjoy at the same BPM and play about 4 or 5 of these. Then I suddenly drop some amazing beat, crowd goes wild and when the song ends I shoot in something a bit old school that I already know the crowd does not love but still do enjoy. This way, I always have someone dancing on the floor, someone having a drink and someone just going totally insane.
I‘m not sure of what type of music you enjoy DJing to and what‘s “mainstream” at your place – I‘ve found out that this differs from club to club, city to city, country to country (Havn‘t been international yet, but I guess this is the truth). But I believe that if you try to adapt to the crowd whilst still containing your specialities, you can make great mix where you entertain the crowd AND yourself!
