After this year at the WMC, I've decided that I want to try to get into DJing.

To start off and practice, what gear do you guys recommend I get?

Well do you want to play vinyl or CD?
Have you ever tried mixing mp3's on your comp with Traktor or something similar?
Have you read anything to even know what you need to get?

Are you taking the piss? Don't be so fucking lazy and do a search. You don't think you're the first person to ever ask this question on a forum like this do you?

I was in the same boat a few months ago. If you're going the CD route, I recommend Pioneer CDJ200 decks and Numark DXM06 mixer. If you have a bigger budget, then you have more options. I personally bought Denon DNS1000 decks, instead of CDJ200. However, I did it only because I got a deal on them. Otherwise CDJ200 are the way to go.

Get records/CDs first. Build up a massive collection of tunes that you can't wait to share with a mass of people. Fall in love with the music. Know who made it. Learn the background of your tunes. Become obsessive about it. Get the "urge" to share these tunes with others, and if that urge still exists after hearing the tracks in your collection for the 1000th time and you're about to burst because you NEED to play those records for somebody NOW, and that urge has become stronger than the need to eat or sleep, then post here.
