Step by step to finally DJ in a club.
Newbie.Listening to lots of trance.
I want to one day DJ some trance at a local club.Not be a superstar or anything but just want to break into the local scene that's all.For fun,weekend job.
How to get there? If you can post some steps that'll be a great guide and I'm sure many ppl would like it too,if they're as lost as me.It is quite overwhelming.
Thanks.

don't u think ur being a bit overly touchy and very 'thenthetive' there dude.........
II am not looking to turn this into a banter fest, but live famously there really was no constructive reason for you to respond to this post other then to challenge someone else's constructive criticism. Sure it may have been harsh but we all don't speak the same language now do we? If al you have is "don't u think ur being a bit overly touchy and very 'thenthetive' there dude........." I think you should back it up with some advice on the actual subject.
As far as my post here I am just backing up ESM, he/she was short and sweet about his point and opinion on the subject. Just let it be. I will not entertain this any more then I have till there is just reason. - Tempest
Disclaimer: My opinions are my own, and if you can't say anything intelligent without bashing my character, my parentage, or my sexuality, then shut up and sit down. I will ignore you until you can come up with a decent rebuttal or an insightful comment. I am merely stating how I see it to be with as much respect and thought as possible. I expect the same from you. Tempest
ah no - don't get me wrong, didn't mean to cause any real beef.......cheif,
just seemed a harsh comment to make back, and was being weeally weeally touchy for no reason than trying to sound superior,
and wasn't constructive at all either........
didn't mean for it to sound all agro, more of a flip comment in return...........
" i detest u for wantin to play music to other people "....c'mon!!

Forgive me for being a complete dumbass, but how was what he said "insulting"? I mean, I kinda see your point, kinda. Seriously, there's no 'guide' on how to get there. I'm not there yet obviously. Maybe I won't be, who knows. I guess just know the right people, be at the right place at the right time and you might land yourself a gig.

I don't see what's insulting about that at all. The purpose of the DJ is to entertain people, is it not? The love of sharing music you enjoy with others? I see nothing wrong with his goal, unless he's just after money and poon.
As for your question - buy turntables, buy records, start mixing. Mix demo CDs and flood the world with them. Go to club nights and pass them out (particularly to promoters and club owners, or anyone with influence).
The best piece of advice I can give you is to have your own unique style and set yourself apart. There's a million DJs out there who sound the same.

Buy some good decks, good mixer, loads of records, and start practising, then come back next year and ask for the next step.
