Keep declining until you actually learn how to mix - the last thing that's needed is another hack DJ who gets booked purely because of their production.

Adversely, if you have zero integrity and are innit purely for the benjamins, then go for it!

i don't see the connection between producing and getting gigs, not at the "amateur" level , i can't see my local clubs promoting producers... what a pity in my case.

But decline if you don't know the basics, you'll ruin your reputation forever, you can get a mac and start using ableton live or traktor like a lot of people do...

just do what every other producer that can't dj does. pre arrange some loops in ableton and advertise yourself as a live act.

just make sure you have lots of cool gear near you...you don't even have to use it or plug it in, no one will notice.

prerecord sets in ableton, put it on a cd and go have a good time, free drinks and girls. twist those eq knobs like a madman (on the channel not playing of course). remember to have a prerecorded set playing on each of the cd players incase something goes wrong you can put up the other fader. just remember to put the eqs on default before doing that.

I realise the two people above were probably joking but I have a friend who has several major remixes that has done that.

im not joking, if you are offered gigs because of your own productions you can get away with almost anything. if you turn it down you will regret the rest of your life. show up and deliver some music, no one care if you actually know how to dj aslong as it sounds good in the club.

Cool. I like practical approaches like that.
