I’ve seen too many DJ’s who act like a filter sweep is a feat of incredible physical difficulty. You’re turning a knob dude, not playing a violin solo at Carnegie Hall. Does anybody else feel this way?

since when did turning a knob make a dj better? i have a mate that filters and echos almost every mix and tbh i hate it but he spins electro house and i spin what he calls “urban” so hiphop funk soul dancehall dubstep more hiphop and the only effet i use is a loop roll in some hiphop on the snares for a lil extra fill … seriously guys havent you ever heard your mom say…..

play with your knob too much and it will fall off

the ability to play like you are sober when you are in fact wrecked !

i would ask that he puts his tracks on a USB or portable hard drive then offer him the opening hour or so. make sure you lay down the rules for your equipments use and make sure he knows what does what. also make sure you speak to his parents and let them know your equipment isnt cheap, and should he damage it, youll be speaking to them about damages. he breaks it they buy it.

i been dj’n for a loooong time and cant really hear key for shite… but i can always hear a trainwreck!

what?

real music? you need to check yourself young man and learn your history.. true hiphop dj’in pioneered things you take for granted, like loops, the ability to cue records, and the fact that the OG’s like Kool Herc, Red Alert, Jazzy Jay, and the rest of the Zulu Nation/Soul Sonic Force etc made the 4 on the floor movement truly take off. So please before you start saying EDM is real music compared to Hip Hop, learn your facts. Rant Over. and btw I use beats and yeah the wire is short and they need batteries, but for what I do and the fact I depend on heavy bass to mix, they do me just fine. and Vinny, you my dawg big homie. big up and one love.

im a turbo sales executive in the uk. i sell passanger car/light truck/ and performance turbos. now if i could just boost my dj gig a lil id be a much happier boy
