Definitely agree on what has been said about warming up.. It's a skill that's sadly getting lost more and more.

It might be even harder to do than headlining.

My take on... (various mixes planned, updated when I can be arsed)

Don't ever mix out of another dj's record early or do tricks (like cuts) or add excessive effects to another dj's track! Damn Kromans

As for the photographer thing, I'm somewhat of a photographer myself and my camera is more than you would ever need at a party but if you're looking to get a certain shot of the dj, sometimes it requires being close. I don't mind my picture being taken while I'm playing as long as the photographer is quick about it. A good photographer will go unnoticed.

Funny when you think about it how you can place the approximate year of a DJ photo on whether CDJ's are present or not.

Like Marco V @ Sensation White 2005?
i reckon that set was pretty good, all his songs and remixes have a similar style and blend well together, yet they sound different enough not to be boring.

Originally posted by Basstard the worst taboo for me would be DJs trying to mix when they know they cant.

I can't mix very well, because I got my first setup only a week ago (2-cdj200, 1-djm707). HOwever, I can beatmatch very well and I can mix on the fly unembarassingly with my limited knowledge of DJing with only the xfader, ch faders, and bass eq's. For myself, for my friends, and for the hometown I think I can put together a set that is enjoyable with good energy. I expect to improve very quickly into some of the things Ive read about such as better EQ control and phasing, but until then, are you suggesting that people like me shouldn't play out?

No offense but that's what I would suggest. You don't want to make a bad name for yourself.

Yeh... id never play out knowing i cant beatmatch...

but yeh.. djing for 1 week i wouldnt say is newhere near enough to play out... dunno how you managed to learn how to beatmach, phrase etc all in 1 week... takes djs months to yrs to get it down pat to play out..

i been djing since 16.. bout 18 months now n played out bout half a dozen times... n gotta say, its totally different than at home..

you could be a wizard at home, but playing out.. itll b way different

its a mad set but seriously its marco V hes been around and produced enough awesome tunes to do a set like that, but hes not the only one alot of dj's do that too
