i imagine melbourne would be similar to syd find a club you think you would be interested in playing at, go down there often and start becoming a familiar face. slowly get to meet the promoters, and they'll be able to point u in the direction of who to talk to about getting gigs. Ive found that contacting a promoter isn't too helpful, unless they are quite high up on hte food chain (which they often arent). Alot of the promoters here in syd just put shit up on facebook and rock up to the club all the time, they dont actually have much pull with the higher ups though (obviously not all promoters, but some)

worthy of funny thread though OP: YSM is the only Tasmanian on here that i know of, and odds are against you of him being close enough to give lessons. There is other ways we can help thou Definitely have a look at the post Cupe linked you to I also recommend watching this one as i find it really explains beat matching in a way that will make more sense than anyone else will be able to explain it (i also reccomend watching more of ellaskins vid's) Also, after playing around with ur decks for a bit, make up a mini mix (even if its only like 4 songs or so) and whack it up on the forum and we'll be able to give you feedback and help goodluck with it all mate, and welcome to the forum

^I was only just thinking this I could never imagine myself getting up to a DJ booth and asking them to play some song, like what gives me the right? kinda seems a bit.... self centered?

i really wanan go, non of my mates wanan go with me still working on persuading them, when i do illl let u know

its probs the mic ur using, it probably requires a higher power source than what ur mixer is providing i had this issue before, then bought a cheap mic and it worked perfectly

this kinda just makes him seem like even more of a whale just because he doesnt DJ, he's basically taking away all credit from those who actually DO DJ

Hey hey i think its time i upgrade from my 2ch mixer and am looking into a 4ch one. Ive started playing at clubs which so far have all used DJM800s which is pretty much my sole reason for wanting an 800; so i can familiarize myself with it. On further thinking of it though, i can really buy any mixer and if i really want, just hire a DJM800 and practice on it so i know whats all going on with it. So the question becomes, should i go with a used DJM800 (will make sure its in good condition; will try get for $800 or so) or a new DNX1600. Also happy for other to chuck in other suggestions, keeping in mind that my budget is around the 1k mark, im happy to buy 2nd hand cheers

Found one in Syd for 1.1k do u tihnk offering 800 is a lowball?

since we are funding chat, can we talk about DJ Related Thing in chat now ? when the paycheck comes in ill chip in. if chat goes down ill actually learn soemthing in my lecturers, we dont want that

haha yea i did a quick search on beatport under 'minimal' and its probs not the right label to give it

big ups to all the lads who submitted look forward to listening to these

haha one guy requested dubstep, i quickly explained that the club doesnt play dubstep, he was happy with that the other people 2 who requested, i played both requests

the only thing ive had is people come up with a song request typed on their phone i just gave them a thumbs up and they walked off happy and it didnt disrupt my set

Gremm1s beat me to it, but yea id hit up whaat club/ candys

id normally agree Alex, but pioneer have quite a reputation for being really durable i tihnk ill let it past and wait around for one in Syd though, better to check it out and be safe than sorry

come on lads 1 more day to go, get those mixes submited

id just search up some 'minimal' artists there is a Melbourne duo 'orkestrated' they have a similar sound to what i think your after http://www.beatport.com/search?query=orkestrated&facets[0]=fieldType%3Atrack ^ thats Orkestrated's tracks on Beatport to get u started ( i dont know too much bout this genre, Andyman knows a fair bit more on it, but im pretty sure thats what your after)

im free wed, thurs, sat and sun if that fits in with u cupe and bonz?

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/melbourn ... 1003808181 what do you guys think of that, obviously its in melbourne so i can't check it out do u think i could get it cheaper, or do u think i should wait around for one thats for sale in syd so i can check it out properly? cheers

Hey guys i keep checking this part of the forum to see if there is any for sale, but i figured i better make a post to say that if you are selling your mixer, i am keen to buy it if you do ever wanna sell it, shoot me a PM and we can discuss details cheers guys

ur over half way there mate u can pick up a cheap 2 channel mixer to get you started if your looking at clubs i would definetly recommend using CDs after an experience seeing some DJs try and set up their equipment in the middle of my set, i am forever turned off using that equipment in a club. long story short, the music got cut out for a solid couple of mins

subject 5: eye of the tiger

nah not playing friday they didnt want me playing friday cause i was already booked in for sat

yea i really wish i learnt some piano i got a friend who teaches it, im thinking of getting some lessons from her yea thats what ive been doing lately, writing a melody using guitar then transposing it across to piano ableton needs a guitar plugin, so instead of a piano roll, u get a guitar-roll
