what sorta music?
@ Pure Vinyl Ben Cromack Teaches house and tech..and i think its Andy Golden who does the trance

The main ones we have are the pure vinyl, wetmusik and the DJ Mixing School in St Kilda... Better off getting decks or getting someone you know to show you how it goes and you will pick it up quicker than you think... better than wasting your money on a course.

dude i think you have the same prob as everyone else lookin to start off - you're scared of breaking something. dont be. the only thing you have to worry bout is putting the needle on the platter (the metal thingy around where you put the reocrd). if you're careful of that, no amount of heavy-handedness can do the turntable damage. so what im saying is, lessons arent really essential just get on a pair of dex, the ol' hands on approach and practice!

...but yeh theres also the djmixing school HERE

NT's no-fail learn-to-DJ plan:

step 1: go to borders and buy a book called 'how to DJ (properly)' and read it cover to cover.

step 2: get decks, and read the book cover to cover again while trying out what they say while repeating 'i am not hellen keller' over and over again.

step 3: a couple weeks after you've touched those decks for the first time in your life, book a gig in a local club and invite all your friends to come watch you crash and burn.

its worked for me, anyways! (though i haven't hit step 3 yet... thursday may 5th at altitude 7pm-10pm me soups & anomyst don't miss it!)

'i am not hellen keller' over and over again.

don't understand wat is "hellen keller" sorry, i'm not a native English speaker(that's also one of the problem i'm worrying abt if i wanna learn DJ here)

its worked for me, anyways! (though i haven't hit step 3 yet... thursday may 5th at altitude 7pm-10pm me soups & anomyst don't miss it!) [/QUOTE]

u & soups & anomyst r going to perform there on 5th May?
can i go?

Posted by 00soups00 on Mar-23-2005 14:34:

absolutely you can go...

as long as you can find where it is

Posted by christos on Mar-23-2005 22:10:

honestly, the thing that's worth its weight in gold is musical knowledge and a great ear for good tunes to suit 'your' style. Learning how to mix is repetitive and takes practice but the most important part of any dj's performance is def. the music (amongst all the other variables). Good luck!

Nicely said ol' chum.

Beatmatching = Science.
mixing & set flow = Art.

Anyone can learn to use decks and beatmatch, it's a learning curve which is very fun, especially at the beginning, but pay serious attention to developing your musical style, as this will stand out much more than your technical ability to those who are unlearned.

hahaha exactly, if you are going down some dodgy alley and there isn't really any signage and you are thinking 'am I in the right place' well you probably are

As one of the "unlearned" I can vouch for that!
