Well here in montreal, if you didnt hit a dj with that rock then you hit a guitar player.

great! i just wanna scream into the mic and score all the groupies. who wants to play the guitar?

anyways, i think its harmless and actually beneficial that everyone tries to pick up a guitar, turntables, skateboard, a paintbrush and etc. most realize quickly that they don't have the talent for it and lose interest, but at least it helps them better appreciate the effort the "pros" put into their creations... or i'd like to believe that.

heck, when i pick a paintbrush up, i make picasso look like a mono lisa, and i learn to appreciate abstract art...

But i don't want to create a new sn, b/c people here may not know im the same guy. i guess that's 20/20 hindsight.

i have the same problem


i think most of us had the fame-money-cool w/e bug when we started... you cant just look at a record spining and say this is what i wanna do for fun in my life. i started cuz i loved music, but ive probably used it "to be cool" even if i didnt wanted to.

anyways after i got my first turntable + vinyls (i starded with one cd-p & mixer playing cheese [lol] in mp3's) i started to get really serius.i stoped playing the asot/tiesto crap, trying to find "my own gems". and really, this is when the real fun starts. its just fun for me now....
besides i would never kiss ass to get a gig, so im not even trying.

+ the funny thing is that when i started 2 of my friends did too. we bought our stuff together. i was playing with crappy mp3s for 2 months and they had already quit (and their father owns a record shop). i got my techs... and i was playing with 10 vinyls for another 2-3 months... 10 vinyls = 10 tracks.. 2 months... lol

I have friends like that too. One of my friends almost two years ago bought limited edition pdx2000s, pmc-05, pioneer hdj1000s, and Event TR8N monitors, and now they're all covered with dust and other crap. I was the last person that used that stuff around 3 months ago, but it's just sad. He has really good stuff, but it's not cared for and it's so dirty and dusty from his gross living standards. It's still in his kitchen right where we first set it up. You can see me here in this pic using his stuff in the background;


I should offer him $200 for the setup.

Heh. My sister who's in high school was telling me about this dumbass mofo who has sony turntables. I don't know about you guys, but I don't think they make turntables. Anyways, he brags about how good he is and then he pops out a tape, and he can't beat match.

The DJ moniker is often overused by people who are not DJ's but are music enthusiasts(mostly). It does get annoying and rather misleading when you realize that the so-called DJ does not even know how to turn on a turntable , forget playing a record.
I guess I would qualify as a DJ? I'm a club resident and I play out twice a week. Ah well who cares, the boundaries of being and not being a DJ are so blurred now.

Around here the DJ's at dances (not raves or parties) dont even use turntables or cdjs. All they do is find a part in the song, press a damn button and then the mc says something stupid and then BAM its into another overblown hip-hop/rap song. It pisses me off how those idiots can call themselves DJ's.

i have been making my own music for a couple of years now with programs i.e ACID and FRUITY LOOPS,And now i am just starting to learn how to spin trance but i don't call my self a DJ. I hope people don't think i am being a poser but then again i don't care what people think. I am doing what I love to do and thats all that matters.

Yes that is how it is here with the club DJs, I'm in a small city & the clubs won't try anything new. Here's what the "DJs" do:

- get on mike and tell people to buy a drink
- throw on a CD with an old top-40 tune (club can't afford new tunes)
- when song ends, get on mike, tell people they're rednecks.
- throw on another old top-40, usually rock, maybe hip-hop
- get on mike and scream "ARE YOU READY TO PAAARRTTYYYY!"
- throw on another old top 40 tune
- get on mike and tell people to buy another drink
- etc etc

They actually get a few people dancing with this! And they have those 10 "regular" customers coming in often and buying a few drinks, now that is real clubbin' - don't mess with this, we got a good thing going here! LOL And that's why anyone with house, trance, beatmatching, mixing skills need not bother trying to get a DJ job in these parts. LOL it's a pathetic scene I'm afraid, you people in the big cities are much better off, at least some of the working DJs have skills.
