yeah, i hate that to. especially when they have some goofy name, like DJw1ck3dR4Ver or something. and when you ask them what equipment they have they shrug.

i've been DJing for 2 years, on computer, and then i bought my tables this summer, and i still don't consider myself a "DJ", rather, i consider myself, "someone who DJs"

whether you can mix two records together or not has nothing to do with the label 'DJ'

This person I know at the UW, he calls himself "DJ AMELIO" which is just horrible DJ name, and he can't even beat match.....Anyway, I'm gonna jump him after school tomorrow i will keep ya posted.

You will only be a DJ not because you will spin in front of a crowd.. you will know when you're a DJ when you can't get that goofy smile of your face when the last record of the set ends turning, and you hear the crowd chanting... 1 MORE 1 MORE 1 MORE!!!

I suppose some people like to use the DJ 'title' to give their personal status a boost. I think we need a replacement term for 'DJ' anyway, I think 'disc jockey' is a bit shite.

you read my mind

peopel should be able to tell the difference between be able to DJ, and being a DJ.

you are only "a DJ" if you get paid to do it as its your job, but many many people "can DJ"

i writed a song.

This is funny shit, I have a friend (whose name is CJ) but he picked up a set of techs over the summer (mark alemura's) and he tries and tries. Alot of people are like wow, you are a Dj? He looks and them and proudly says, NO, i am a freak with two turntables... that is it.


I came up with my Name over time, DCS for various reasons, but it fits me well and it rolls off the MC's tongue easily when ever i DJ now.

So does that mean you consider it wrong for radio DJ's to call themselves DJ's? My super simplified definition of a dj is to be one that plays music for a crowd. I don't think mixing is a ultimate prerequisite for being a DJ.

I call myself DJ Spyke because if you just say "Spyke" people wonder what you do. The DJ defines it. However, I in NO WAY consider myself to be a true DJ! I can beat match and I can spin, yet I do not own decks. I spin on my computer and on my friend's technics. I'm iight, but have a looooooooooooong way to go till I put "DJ Spyke" on any flyers!
