MemberAlso I look forward to hearing more from you in the future.

MemberNot going to lie, I kinda dig this track man. I just feel that with a little bit of improvement it could become even better, I feel that some of the transitions are a little off. But keep up the hard work, and keep doing what you love.

It’s an insult and a joke when someone has the audacity to over simplify , and take the passion out of what my generation, and those before me worked our asses off to build. There is no meaning left in ti what so ever, no message. The only concern I see from today’s wanna be DJ’s , is for themselves. We did it to bring people together (I don’t know about you, your message seems to float in some other direction..but who knows), unity and an open place to get away from our society built lives. No need to put “old school DJ’s” in all caps, and accentuate yourself there. I’ll never agree with the approach today’s generation takes. I do not see any heart or soul or depth behind it.
I put a lot of heart behind what I do, its all about the love for me I could care less about getting fame or being the next big thing. Sure it would be nice, but I’m fine with doing this because I love it. The reason I started this and producing music in the first place was because it was my way of expressing myself to others, my own way of getting my emotions out instead of talking about them. I’m not hating on you or anything, I’m just saying that not all of us are lazy like that some of us do have true talent.

That isn’t true, yes some of us are but not all of us are like that. I’m not even close being like that, I work my ass off day and night and never take the easy way out.

MemberLet me know what you think of the dance music manual, I’m curious as to what you’ll think of it.

MemberWhat a great video, I agree with this guy. I don’t think it matters as to what you use for Djing, as long as you love the music and you can make the crowd dance.
Johnnystorm
MemberJust keep doing what you love man and you’ll get better at it.

MemberMy DJ software is Traktor and this is why. Traktor is the one I feel most comfortable with, and I find it easily to use then the other software. I also like how easy is to to map your controller with it.
Johnnystorm
MemberAlthough I think your mixes could use some improvement, as your transitions aren’t very well and don’t sound to good. I also noticed on one of your mixes, that one of the tracks wasn’t in sync with the other tracks. I do like your track selection though and some of your transitions aren’t that bad, I’m also another DJ who has been at this for five years now and is just starting to get the hang of it. Don’t get discouraged though, keep at it and you’ll get better. Just remember one thing as another fellow DJ always says “Practice and enjoy”.
Johnnystorm
MemberWow man this is all a great idea, you have inspired me to do the same. Keep up the great work my friend, also I’m not sure if you have started using a music software to produce with, but if not I think you should use Live. I think Live is great for that kind of stuff, but I’d say learn it first before you take the dive.
