Getting started

Hay guys im a noob and i seriously ant to become a DJ one day. I mix cds for my mates and they think there awesome.

So could one of you experienced Djs please just give me some little pointers on how to start up?

Have you got decks? If not, save up and get your self a pair of Technics decks.

Then, all you need is the 3 P's

Passion, Practice amd Persistence.

and a sh*tload of vinyls

And a mixer...

Try not to look at anything but Technics Decks. There is a reason they are the industry standard.

Though if you are really pressed for cash there are some pretty good alternatives out there.

and a decent job to pay for them of course....or you can just pay them with Centrelink money

Hehe YES!!! Highly acclaimed short anime movie!
It was entirely made by ONE person [except for the female voices]!

sweet thanks a lot.

What about a name? i was thinking something liek "Sam I Am" or just plain Sam. What do you think?

I think you should learn to mix before you worry about shit like that.
