God damnit - I was still running around in dipers at that time of being.

My firs live performance took place about six months after the purchase of my 2x Pioneer CDJ-500S' (October '02)

Got a pair of 1210's this week - we'll see how long it will take before I feel enough comfortable to do my firs live TT-performance

after i got my tables my 1st live performance was 6 months later. i didn't know anything about spinning when i bought my setup, i basically spent alot of time in my room practicing. i was nervous as hell but i did fine, and i still get nervous at the beginning of my sets i don't think that will ever go away.

i got my turntables back in august, and spun my first party on new years eve. it wasnt payed or anyting, i just brought my decks out and spun for like 10 friends. it was fun. still nerve racking, but hopefully i will spin alot of small partys before my first "real" gig.

well I got my tables at the beginning of last school year and I didn't try getting a gig until school was over last summer. So I had been half ass practicing for about 8 months. Then I played for a few friends, like 50 er so. then I played at a few bars n stuff. nothing too massive.

Its just whenever you feel you have some music that people want to hear you should go out and get a gig.


now that I moved I cannot rely on my old dj buddies to work me in a gig. So what I did was try to find promoters at clubs and talk to as many djs as possible. I found a night that showcases pretty much every dj in the area, I hung out, dropped a few demos and I got to play.

thats how you can work from the bottom.....get to know the promoters.

My buddy and I got our hands on a pair or turntables during mid summer and we have been mixing fairly consistently. Got lucky enough to get a fairly good gig coming up at the end of February. Needless to say, I’m scared shitless. I’m hoping to be able to spin for a small party or something before the big one comes up. Seeing that some of you have gotten gigs in about the same amount of time or less makes me feel a lot better. Anyways, untill then I’m going to be practicing like crazy.

1 year after I got my dex I played @ a NYE party by Sydney's only Melodic Trance party/group. Not a bad start.

Shat my pants, screwed a few, but nailed more

Time between the start and my first bar gig was probably a year. After that, i played some times in smaller bars and finally had the chance, after 1,5 years of practicing, to play for a crowd of 600 people.
