Thanks Newport – that’s a nice explanation and I agree on all you wrote.

At the moment I have only 2 decks and am still learning – is it ok to start off with 2 decks and learn the curve from there?

What guides or tutorials can you give or advise someone like me to read or view online? A newbie in the field

What style of music do you play?

How do you scout a crowd? How do you know if your doing something good in your ears but then you feel the crowd isn’t vibing, so what do you switch to and how do you switch?

Keep a number of different playlists in your system?

Thnx

For example –

empire state of mind – jay z
rude boi – rihanna
paper planes – M.I.A

that’s a regular i often use. people love it.

What Would You Do – City High
Ride Wit Me – Nelly
Mo Money Mo Problems – Notorious B.I.G

There’s another good one.

I understand those points and agree fully – making people happy etc, from a “social” point of view

My question is more – as a DJ. WHat do you do? What is the main technical role of a DJ? You have 2 decks, knowing when to switch songs from left to right for example?

Without sounding bad – I’m still learning – what’s the skill in that apart from knowing good songs? How do you throw special beats in the middle as you transition between songs?
