ParticipantIts definitely okay to start with 2 decks. As for tutes DJ Hane gives excellent starting points! I play all kinds of music. tho mainly club trance dance abit of RnB hip hop.
scouting a crowd… the best way is to just go out, *not DJing*, find a nice corner where you have a good a view of a crowd and just watch. watch how the crowd reacts to different tracks, listen for changes the dj makes. watch watch watch. Goto different clubs and watch. People are strange someone once sang.. So true.

ParticipantSo basically your saying coz you and your colleague are so good, people stayed to listen and have fun.
Partly, yes. More to emphasise the importance of doing the job so people will stay and the employer will keep hiring you.
The job of a DJ is so much more than say merely loading songs into an ipod and pressing play and hoping for the best ORmerely mixing one track into another. How do you add beats? You mean extra beats? Use samples. Use more than 2 decks and add pieces of another track or more, EQ(bass mid high), phrase, phase, effects….It’s about creating an atmosphere, a vibe, readiing the crowd, appealing to them, letting them guide you as much as you guide them, knowing they and you are part of living and creative work of art that lives while everyone is there and dies when lights come up and last drinks are called. EXCEPT for the memories, they live on and everyone wants to come back and experience it all again.NewportDJ Drew
ParticipantOne club i worked at they were doing $200-$250 every 15 mins in peak times (11pm-4am) My colleague and I increased that to over $600 every 15 after 12 months.

ParticipantI agree with DJ Peixinho, do friends parties, the school disco, put out promo mixsets, organise an event yourself! (not as easy as it sounds), have a parent/guardian support you you will need someone to transport you and most likely finance your equipment! If you are good and seriously pursue it, it will grow.

ParticipantBack in the 80’s we built our own amps from kits.

ParticipantI think dj’s these day avoid rock mixing as it is (in my mind) unmixable because the bpms vary so wildly. unless you do the old school radio style mixing on the fade or stab finish. (OMG days of the continuous loopcart with fade or stab written on them).
