hahah, i had an 18th to do like 2-3 weeks after getting my gear! then another 2 weeks later.... just tried to beatmatch like 4 bars or so with the crossfader, and bang... too easy! a few minor screw ups but meh!

Never, I tried in high school to DJ at a few dances but no one wanted to listen to my music, it was all about R&B and Hip Hop at dances. I got rid of my TTs last year for CDJs, so i'm kind of relearning, and learning more about DJing and beatmatching and all. My goal is to work on stuff and get a gig by next summer, but I have to get my beatmatching down first....

Thats the thing, with birthdays and school dances most people dont know/dont give a crap about mixing.

I well and truly can't remember. But it was probably about 19 years ago.

Cheers
Nem

just shy of 2 years for my first paid club gig.

i was practicing in a lounge pretty much from the start...knew the owner so he would let me come in early before the majority of the drinking crowd hit.

first club gig was 8 months after that i think?

6-8 months! i was pretty much ready then and supportive of my style!

i think it was a little shy of 300 peeps.
