Gandy

hello all, here is my situation, im making little to no progress in the saving department as bills just seem to keep springing up out of no where /sigh. Im hoping the taxman is gonna help me out but was wondering: Should i wait for the cdj 350 to be released which will hopefully drop the price of the cdj 400s, or just take out a loan to get my decks/mixer/laptop currently all i have bought are my headphones :( im still loving djing and loving doing my weekly mixes which im getting positive feedback about, so im past the deciding phase now

hey its me!

ahah i was going to ask about the condom hat but then thought it was me with my mind in the gutter and thought it was a pimp hat. note to self im usually always right when my minds in the gutter

Feel free to become a fan if you like it and leave your comments on what you think. Hope you all enjoy

i would agree (also why i wanted a place to read up on), and yea that was my point how do you tell between all those diff sub genre's Im here to learn

not really, but its an interesting read

cheers, ill use the search function on the forums next time sorry

I guess i just dismissed this straight away because its lolwikipedia, ill give it a read if youre recommending it. It seems like there is a sub-genre popping up every other day, so hopefully it will go into a bit of depth with those

Hello all, I have been doing a bit of googeling and i cant seem to find a definitive site that breaks down each name and genre of EDM and explains why its called that and what makes it different from the other genres. I often get stuck for words when explaining to my metal head mates who say "all that shit just sounds the same thers nothing to it" or people not into the music who want to know more. Also be good read for myself in general too

hey here are my deets http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pag ... 788?ref=ts

cheers!

hey all, not sure if i am completely blind but couldnt find an area to shamelessly plug your own work so doing it here: This is my second mix episode after just a month of getting into djing, I really feel i nailed this one and just wanted your experienced critique. http://soundcloud.com/djgandy/gandyland-episode-2 all comments are weclome, i will be playing to a mostly commercial crowd. criticism welcome Thanks

hmm lol... hes not from the same country so i guess its nothing to worry about

hello all i have a question for you all. Last week i finished setting up my facebook fan page and soundcloud account and uploaded my first mix. It appears that this week, someone with the exact same name as me, and also soundcloud account has popped up. What can i do about this??

After doing research and asking around, it really does seem that they are a very solid entry setup, and another thumbs up just gives me more confidence that it is worth the wait to save up, although im curious to see how much the 350's will come in at. Tim Torque from Club Rev is doing some guest work at the club i go to at the moment and i am lucky enough to get to spend some time with him when i go in, he basically says the same thing, play to the chicks early in the night pumping out your upbeat "chick fav" songs (gaga/katy perry/agiluera etc) and later on play to the guys, you can get away with throwing in the harder dirtier stuff by mid to late night. Thanks again for the warm welcome, ive only just started to browse and already finding some great tips and advice

Hello everyone, my name is Gandy and i am an aspiring DJ. I have been embracing the art that is djing and entertaining for just under a month, so i am as green as they come. I have always had a passion for music and entertaining people, and have now finally found my place in a role i enjoy. For the past 7 or so years i have been a club/gig rat, what i always loved was the fact that no matter what was going on in my personal life, work life etc i could go to my favourite club and forget all the worries of the world and enjoy the beats and carve up the d floor. I am now at point in life where ive done all the partying, now i want to be in control of the dance floor and the mood of the night, and get people mooving and grooving. Nothing is more exciting/rewarding to me then seeing a packed dance floor feeling the music, its a high that no drug can come close to acheiving. I am currently saving up for my entry level setup which will be: 2 x Pioneer CDJ400 CD/Mp3 Player Pioneer DJM400 Macbook I enjoy Commercial Club beats, Trance and Electro. I am fortunate to know management and a couple DJ's at one of my local clubs and they let me come in whenever i want during operating hours and get in the DJ booth and let me have a crack when its quiet/early in the night, and of course always offering there insight/advice, which i am very grateful for. At the moment for practise i am recording my own shortmixes working on beatmatching, timing, song selection and blending, although "sync" feels like it is cheating compared to when im doing it live at the club. Listening to my first own mix was a spinout, i guess you could liken it to watching yourself in a play or on TV. I would say my strong suits are i have a good music ear, core music theory knowledge and an appreciation of enjoying the reaction i get from the crowd when a favourite comes on. I also am very open minded and professional, and never dismiss suggestions or advice because of ego. I would say my weakness is hiphop and rnb music knowledge, i dont particulary enjoy the genre and can never get into the mood when listening to it, i realise to be the best i need to get over that because although i dont like it, some club patrons love it and if they are your crowd for the night then you arent much use to anybody. Sorry for the long post but i think that is good way to start things off, i am in the process of setting up a facebook fan page and soundcloud account and start to get myself out there Thanks!
