so i was driving to work this morning, with my classics playlist on (classics being the old skool dance music i have collected over the years) and a set came on which made my hairs stand up...

It was the set that made me want to be a DJ.

I heard it for the first time when I was 10 years old the set was by DJ Alex K, i was in my brothers VN commodore and he was pumping the music as he drove me to school. my two favourite songs at the time where mashed together for 30 sec for the transition, put your hands up in the air was sampled over the top of that Schumacher formula 1 song, i had never heard anything like it and i got really curious on how he did it.

my brother said well he has 2 cd players going at once and he presses play one and the right time to make the songs mix together... obviously he couldn't give me the detailed explanation because (a) he didnt know and (B) i wouldn't understand even if he did know...

But all i knew is after that i wanted to be able make someone have that same feeling i got

so it got me wondering, what was that one point where you decided you wanted to either DJ or Produce

DJ Rectangle scratching like an ill cunt

I was born in producing though after hearing mad guys like dj krush, dj shadow and the ninja tune crew

always loved music, was a club fiend for 8 years straight (every thurs/fri/sat nite) and loved that fact that the dj could control my emotion and mood for the night. It didnt matter how shitty my week was, i could go to my club with my fav dj and forget about all the shitty things in life. Having that kind of power to influence people, the thrill of seeing ppl lose there shit when you drop some big bombs, is a natural high no drug can replicate.

Also, i love handing out my monthly mixes, then people coming up and saying how much they loved my music, that feedback never gets old

lol my story sucks... i didn't have an epiphany or anything. My mate started mucking around on his brother in laws decks... then when i saw them i took an interest and started mucking around on em.

then my mate bought some decks, and i found out another of my mates dj'd..... second mate was upgrading his gear and sold me his old gear at a steal....and, as they say, the rest is history

Was about 12 when I got into electronic music. Paul oakenfold was the first inspiration to make dance music and the skitzmix compilations made me want to DJ :P

I just love the music so much that I thought "hey instead of paying to go to the clubs to listen to the music maybe I could practice enough that I could get payed to go instead" plus I have so much fun practicing that I don't really care if I get good enough to every play in a club anyways.
