17 right now. Started about 2 years ago or something.

I'm only 12

28... but i'm not really a dj
just a hack

how about other musical intrests, as they have a lot of bearing on dj skills...

ive played orchestral bass for 8 years

electric bass for 6

and fl production for 3

yay.

Started at about 21, 23 now, 24 at the end of the month...

24.5

everyone that got started at an early age is from europw or that side of the world where this music is from. and this type of djing is more popular.

started 2 years ago now im 21

Always wanted to be a dj and it was a good choice that as a youngen i always put away all my christmas birthday money.
so 13 years of saving money. I always have wanted to be a dj/producer from when i was itty bitty.

When I first moved from Mexico to LA in 1989, I used to live with my cousin. He was a rave DJ back then. He used to take me to parties with him back then. Then one day in 1991-1992, he told me to take over for a few minutes. From then on, the rest is history.

started at 16, im 17 now hehe

Turning 24 ...

Although I'm originally Swedish I have been living in the UK for most of my life.
I grew up in Brighton, England.
If you actually take a look at Brighton in terms of creativity, there are lots of famous people that live there (It's even rumoured that Madonna has a house here.

Where I live I actually have Skint Records as my nextdoor neighbour (Fatboy Slim's record company). I live opposite the Casablanca (Which is the first residency that Carl Cox had) and I sometimes see John '00' Flemming when I go shopping with the Mrs... Brighton has been an important musical influence in terms of dance music since it started so I haven't really had much choice in the matter.
But it has been great to be a part of it.

started at 17, now 19. still broke and sucking.

I started when I was 14 and I am 15 now... one year goes by pretty damn fast. Is there any other dj younger than me here (I am born Jan 2 1991) ??

im 9 yrs old with 3 yrs dj experience

dude.. 21-40 is a huge age difference as opposed to 17-20.

that bad is it?

Im 22. Spent half of that listening to trance (started recording sets off radio one back in 95). I started mixing at 17 (traktor) and moved onto turntables just 2 years ago. Ive owned my own turntables now for about a year.. best �400 ive ever spent!

heh....same here. makes me feel old

I wish I had started much earlier. If I started mixing at the time I got into trance I wouldve had 10/11 years experience by now. Kinda gutted in a way.

im from a 3rd world country, and i started at 15, nearly 16. wasn't easy, and if i had it my way, i'd of started at about 13, but getting my hands on decks was a really problematic process. at 15 i met up with a friend i hadn't seen in YEARS, he is 2 years older, and he happened to own a pair of Stanton STR8-80s, and invited me over to spin. taught me everything there was to teach me about the basics of beatmatching. he never taught me to phrasematch, as he didn't really know what it was, rather, he just did it naturally. i figured it out myself by reading online and stuff. practicing with him for like 8 months i got to a decent level.

Originally posted by superglo The younger ones are pretty good and have been known to play amazing sets but the older dj's have the consistency and really know how to fill a dancefloor. The younger ones tend to lose steam sometimes when they dont get a good response from the crowd and start banging out the big tunes to no avail. The older, more experienced dj's know how to just tease you here and there... get your foot tapping and head nodding before dropping a big tune to get you off your feet. E EDIT: I'm 25 btw. started when i was 18. then off and on till now.

^^^^DIGGERS AT THE MAYAN!!! WOO! Dankness! Perfect example of what superglo said.

I started at 18 and now I am 21

I think the 21-40 age gap is unreasonable in your poll...It might be that Tranceaddict attracts that huge age group, not that you can tell a causal relationship between that HUGE freaking age gap at DJs...

Should be something like 0-15, 16-20, 21-25, 26-30, 30+ (imo)

Sall good tho!

I will try editing the poll if I can.


EDIT: Damn only mods can edit the poll. Maybe if one of them drops by they could change it.
