Help with Spining

[KenJi]

i mean for now at least aren't you spinning for yourself. Maybe if you get big you'll be playing out to the crowd, but for now enjoy it. Don't make it hard for yourself by playing something you might not even want to play

[nuf_dawg]

i kno wat kinda music i like n dont like

[KenJi]

^ than play what you like that it be hip hop, dnb, breaks, house/trance whatever

just play what u like not what others like

[KenJi]

and as marty already said don't expect things to happen quick. you may get good real quick, you may not, but either way it will probably take awhile to get connections and get things going for you other than being a bedroom dj

[nuf_dawg]

I listen to trance hard house , house , hard trance, outside rave parties too n i enjoy it.. i know the basics of beatmatching:).... hehe.. whats the reason behind doign backspins n stuff like that.. n how dou kno when to do it n stuff

[wundergirl]

look kid. don't listen to the fools telling you to spin wut you like...
spin breaks. spin hiphop. everything else is a waste of time.

now get out there and pick up some essential wu, roots, hiero, quannum, and so on.

don't let the trance pansies drag you down!
good luck!

[nuf_dawg]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmm
kk ppl dont confuse me now lol

[Akeel]

spin bhangra and keep it real!

[mapleleaf4ever]

"Dude! I just picked up Apna Sangeet on Vinyl!!!!" lol

P.S. I actually have some Bhangra MP3s... they've got quite the catchy beat to them.

[Silver Tongue]

As said before if you need to ask what to spin ... your a dork.. If you can't determine whAT you like to play.. Then you shouldn't even bother... djing is a passion people develope. All I can say is hahahaha to this stupid ass thread

[decypher]

yeh if ur asking questions like that ur off to a bad start... if u really want to learn.. get ur ass to sites like djforums.com , and read... then practice practice practice, watch other dj's, ask for tips, no one is gonna hold ur hand... but, ur asking what u should spin? i mean come on...only u can decide that.. how can someone be like "hmmm i think u should spin house" , thats just retarded...

well duh missy!!! lol

but its easier in all honesty to learn with trance and its 4X4 beat.

lol why don't you just go make him a mix than lol

[-ff-]

The best way I know to spine someone is to simply lift them over your head, bench-press style, and then drop them over your knee - its the most effective spining technique I'm aware of.

[KenJi]

haha spining :D

[FeelGood]

spinw hatever gets you going. if you standing there spinning some music you dont like, your dj'ing with be very misserable. as for spinning at spooky or dooms, that will not happen dude, espically when you dont know much about dj'ing and dont knwo what to spin, and prolly dont have a vinyl collection whatsoever.

get some breaks/hiphop, start spinnin, keep working hard for the next 6 months, then when your feelign comfortable behind the decks, then come back and ask to spin somewhere.

[vee_baby69]

hard trance..vocal trance...TRANCE TRANCE TRANCE...haha if u like trance spin trance anywaiz...u should learn to play the synth's.....if u wanna spin trance that always helps...

[stimulant j]

spin bhangra and keep it real!

LOL ... easy fan base man..theres not too many out there that can rock the east indian crowd.

I play Tantra on Sat nites and I sometimes wish I had some of that nonsense. Easy MonEY my friend..only that know one wants to do it (including me!)

if you're really serious about playing spooky or doom's night don't worry too much about your djs skills, work on your "sucking-promoter's-cocks" skills, because that's honestly the only chance you've got.....not to put you down, but there's guys who've been playing for years and would give there right nut to play a party that big, and THEY have 100% no chance, so i'd say it's more likely that both parties get simultaneously hit by crashlanding alien motherships than it is that you'd get to play at either one of them.....seriously, forget about it.

if you want to learn to dj.....

buy some gear (decks, mixer, and good headphones)

buy some records

buy a decent stereo system

but some more records

learn to live a light-free existence in your basement with your eardrums throbbing

buy more records

go to parties (and clubs if you're old enough), trainspot and try to make some friends who are also learning to mix and hang out with them....make sure that anytime you're at a party you figure out who's throwing it, go up to them, introduce yourself, tell them what a wicked time you're having, and tell them that you're just learning to mix......DO NOT ASK THEM FOR A BOOKING UNTIL THEY RECOGNIZE YOU...

buy more records

develop a mighty hump from constantly bending over your decks

buy more records

learn to REALLY like instant noodles

buy more records

don't worry about a mix cd unless you're really confident that what you're making won't embarass you in a year

buy more records

once you've mastered beatmatching without a trainwreck for an hour 90% of the time look for a smaller party that you can get booked at for free....this is where your "going to parties and making friends" should be paying off, because it's largely who you know that gets you booked......ask the promoter nicely, offer to come help set-up, whatever you can.....

if you can get this far you should be able to figure out the rest on your own.....


shit, man, good luck, but if were you i'd be more worried about my basic english and spelling skills first.....

record stores like bassix, beat street, boomtown and on deck have listening stations
go to those record stores
tell them you're just starting out
ask them to pick out what's new and hot in each genre
listen to the records
once you find some stuff you like ask them if they have anything that's like it and listen to that.....

DO NOT GO IN TO A RECORD STORE AND DO THIS UNLESS YOU PLAN ON SPENDING AT LEAST $50 IN THAT STORE....there's nothing more annoying to a record shop owner/clerk than some noob who comes in, pesters them for a big pile of records, listen to them for an hour, keeps going up and asking for more, obviously likes some of the tracks, then leaves without buying a single plate.....

[D2J]

Go with all of them and expand your options.
