hmm, a few times ive have to go over the theory to mixing to some friends, and a lot of chicks too, since DJing is the latest thing they want to do it. pisses me off, but i cant just jump and say "no, youre a poser, im not letting you touch the decks." always ends the same way, with them getting pissed and bored because they cant do it.

kinda sucky when you have to do it over and over not to seem like an ass.

First, I tell them that I suck.

Second, I put on some records and I abuse the hell out of my equipment and tell them..."damn, all this b!tchin' is makin' me skratch!"

Third, I'd change genres and power mix some breaks.

They end up like this...

Does that answer your question?

Inertia, actually i've never tried teaching them. probably coz of the average track time; they're not even patient enuff to let a track play.

Educate them, if they are your friends they should listen. If not torch their house and piss in the ashes...

For the even less politically correct approach:
Give them a bag of smarties and watch them gurn their asses off in a life changing experience. Let's face it... while I don't know what goes on in the US, go out in Europe and people are basically tripping their tits off.

And yes... I also dislike bling bling! What's really annoying about that fanbase is that a lot of the older people in that scene are all the dickheads who slated hip hop and said it would never become anything.

Inertia,
When it comes to letting people have a go on my decks... most of my mates are DJs anyway so we don't really feel the need to unless it's to play some new tunes. The only thing I find annoying is when they don't respect volume levels. Can't stand loud music when I'm not in a club.

Cheers

^^ im starting to get better quality friends. im still surrounded by retards at school though, so a few have come in contact with the decks. the only time i REALLY got pissed off is when i taught one of my friends, and he was getting it close after a few tries.

then he says "damn. this is way cool. i want some CDJs so i can mix some 50 cent up in this bitch!".

that one pissed me off.

I'm talking about how I would answer the questions.

What I meant was...I'd take out some battle breakz and do my weak-ass routine that comprises of chirps, skribbles, flares...so on...

Then, I'd take out either trance/breakbeats and power mix...



Just my opinion, but DJs should learn all aspects of mixologist and tablin'...once a DJ has taken in and learned the art...i feel they are more well-rounded than most.

I have the one crappy rap record that for some reason they threw into one of my orders. It was free, it was shit and now it is a scratching record for all my aspiring DJ scribble friends. Its hilarious how so many people think its so awesome to make that scratching noise. I guess its just the novelty of it all....

Then I kicked em out of the booth and did my thing
