If you're looking for buying records, i recommand you Da Muzz, it's a dj shop on st-catherine street corner Papineau. You can find there a good choice of house music and there's a section where you can find vinyl at 3$!!!

| Originally posted by ~*Stereohead*~ I can't single out one DJ/producer...I think it's too early 4 me 2 narrow it down to 1...I'm listening to a lot of good stuff; this I know 4 sure: Funky: Mark Farina, Frankie Knuckles, Steve Porter, DJ Dan, Fred Everything, (MTL Talent: King Louis, DJ Kal...) Dark: John Digweed, Steve Lawler, Sven Vath, Danny Howells, Satoshi Tomiie, Hernan Cattaneo, James Zabiela, James Holden, (MTL Talent: Maus...) Sander Kleinenberg just plays sexy proggy house...so good... As u can see, I haven't found my personal style yet (I just started lol!) but I love Farina and Digweed, probably my top 2 from either extreme side of the house music spectrum. Digweed kills it with his basslines and his technical abilities and Farina is just too good to be true imo... I adore Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso, Axwell, Tiefschwarz, Trentemoller... I think that's enough lol... |
^^ agreed
and I don't think you need a musical background to DJ. Many people do but it's not necessary.

| Originally posted by Skipper I don't think a music background is essential to have as a producer either. It's nothing you can't learn as you go. Many people learn a lot from DJing before they get to producing anyways. |
True...it's all something you can learn as you go but having it (the musical background) from the start just seems like one less thing to worry about in the future...
I know I love house music enough to dance to it and more importantly, to feel it. Now it's just a matter of time, effort and concentration until I know it well enough to be able to make it my own sound
Well said as usual.

Me? Flirting? Never... :P
i dunno where this thread is going but i srsly recomend the
cdj's 800
they are a good starting point, and u wont need to replace them for a better model as u get better and better, unlike if u got a 100 or 200
the 1000 is preatty much for pro use only or if u got shitloads of money to blow. i like the 800 cause it has loops. im a fan of loops.
mixer meh just get a cheap one plus an effexbox which should run u less than an expensive mixer and it has more goodys an effx500 should od the trick, have not played with a 1000 yet
If you want to mix the most important and under-rated skill is that of dexterity, something you will definately not earn if mixing with cds. It's important because you don't get it from anywhere, you need years of experience to get used it.
I feel that with vinyl you are more involved with the sound and it's movement, from anything to queing a beat or slowing the platter and pushin the label. Once these skills become natural the fun starts and your imagination leaks, and as that other guy said digital is alot more cold. It's easier to start with vinyl anyway.
Yeah vinyls are expensive, but being a dj isnt much of an inexpensive hobby. Besides, i think if you were to start with cds you are more likely to wonder how things would've been different if you started with vinyl. Vinyl should always be a foundation, cds should only follow.
What does nick have to say about this?
ps; qtar's boiling, 25 degrees
What's up mOoooee!
