Dj's + Appartments?

nerd · #1 (**permalink**) Feb 19, 03

I'm thinking of leavin' my parents place and getting out on my own. I'm into spinning and I was wondering if I could get some advise on looking for a dj friendly appartment.

definately would help to get a concrete condo somewhere downtown... Mind you I had one and still got the boot after only 2 days of livin there!

DON"T get an apartment!
Get a house with some friends.....

werd this always seems to work i'm working on that too.

or get a basment suite where you can make as much noise as you like till a certain time (i figure you'll have to talk with you landlord first though).... i believe around 8-11pm is the normal time that you have to keep the noise down.

another thing to watch out for is who you live with.

there's nothing worse than bitchy roomies who don't like your music. you only have to deal with a pissed off landlord once, but roommates are there EVERY DAY to bitch.

and another thing about you kids today... (in my best angry parent voice)

if you live with people who also play, be prepared to wrestle. i'm lucky right now and have my decks in my bedroom. incision... he's not so lucky. every time i hang out at his place it's like

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY! thistle vs. audit vs. incision in an ALL OUT SMASH UP monster truck battle royale!

or something along those lines anyways. moral of the story: if there are fewer decks than dj's, work on your kung-fu grip.

well whereever i would move out to. I'd have MY setup in MY room. problem solved :P

Every building i've ever been in has overlooked sound issues. Its absurd to think that after all these years they still can't get it right.

Junior whopper to the first person who finds me a completely sound proof building in the downtown area.

Cheers

^^ theres a new one just built ummm.. I think its back behind richards where they are trying to expand yale town into... it was build to be sound proof... I forget exactly where it is though, it could be somewhere completely different, but my friend lives there right now.. Julien would know.. JULIEN???

**ƒORM** · #16 (**permalink**) Feb 21, 03

^ hook it up i'm interested

Mr.Sinister · #17 (**permalink**) Feb 21, 03

ok ok being i know for a fact the building i lived in on davis and burnaby was definatly sound proof , cause i would pound my tunes in the living room till like 4 am.......plus i know that like 2 other dj's who lived in the building too....

form you owe me a junior whopper............
