When it comes to choosing things in life most of us are ‘either or’ people. Either we like chocolate or we like vanilla but rarely do we like marble swirl. Either we like PlayStation or we like Xbox but rarely do we have both, although that probably has something to do with the expense. And when it comes to headphones most of us have a preferred brand to use.
Luckily for us picky DJs there are more than one set of headphones from which you can choose. The problem is that you can find 20 different headphone reviews and you’ll likely find 20 different opinions. So how do you go about choosing the right set of phones?
Why, you rate them based on what’s most important to you of course! Continue reading “Headphone Reviews – Reloop SHP vs. Vestax HMX” »

Back in the day most of the really cool and truly underground tracks that I fell in love with, I first heard under the talented hands of a DJ. In fact many of the songs that defined my adolescence weren’t played ad nauseum on popular radio stations or even pirated radio stations. But now that music has gone digital and the crowd no longer relies on DJs to present them with the latest and greatest tracks…what’s a DJ to do to stay up on the latest tracks?
Good question.
Nothing irks a DJ more than not being the one to know about the hottest new tracks and introducing it to a mass of sweaty clubbers. No, with music going digital now we, as DJs, must keep the crowds happy by digging deeper to find even more obscure tracks. The question is, how?

It seems as though there are many DJs today focused more on finding the coolest pair of shades or the right outfit for their gig rather than the actual performance inside the DJ booth. While that’s certainly true for some of the posers out there, the truth is that hardworking DJs spend time actually preparing for their gigs.
The time you get inside the DJ booth is precious, as many DJs never feel the rush of standing above the crowd watching them trip out to your musical genius, so it’s important to be prepared when you finally get your shot. Of course if you’ve been the default DJ at parties then you have some experience, but there’s only one way to make sure you’re ready to set the DJ booth on fire: PRACTICE.

Your goal is to be more than a DJ; it is to be a brand, a name, a DJ with tons of followers. That’s a tall order for someone with fresh DJ skills and almost no business experience, but it is not impossible. If you know what it takes to make it in the world of DJing then the world can be your oyster, but you have to start where everyone else does: the beginning.
The moment you’ve settled on your DJ name you should also be creating your brand, and living it on stage. Are you a well-dressed DJ who looks like he or she always knows where the best parties are? Or are you the laid back DJ in casual clothing who’s ‘all about the music’? It doesn’t matter what your brand, your persona is, all that matters is that you work hard to brand it.
There are some things about DJing that a DJ class can’t teach you, but nevertheless are important to reaching the level of success you desire. Continue reading “Beginners Guide To DJing – Creating Your Brand” »

If you frequent any particular clubs or are active in the online DJ community, then you’ve noticed that there are more DJs now than there have ever been. The ubiquitous-ness of technology means that with the right equipment and a few DJ classes just about anyone can technically become a DJ.
Unfortunately as we know from the myriad reality talent shows on TV these days, the person with the best voice, musical style, talent or the best lyrics isn’t always the person winning the million-dollar contract. The same is true of DJs; the person with the hottest tracks or more unique sound or the most badass remixes isn’t always the most popular DJ. In fact, I have a few DJ buddies with choice words for some of the hottest, best-selling DJs in the world.
So how does a DJ go make him or herself stand out? By learning how to DJ live and doing a really good job at it! Continue reading “How To DJ Live: 4 Essentials For Success” »
