2 weeks. I had my gear two weeks, and then I was asked to spin a 300 man or so gig. Obviously I crapped my pants. Lucky for me the dj before me was utter garbage (just an example, cd starts skipping, instead of switching over to something else, he just presses stop, and starts the tune again...). Didn't do a too bad job...

rofl, funny

I hope the dj before me will suck too...

When I went vinyl, it took me close to six months before performing live due to the fact that I was on a budget which killed me, 'cuz of my limited record collection.

Yeah, took me almost a whole record to manage it though. So it was pretty much intro/outro mixing.

Played my first live illeagal warehouse gig in London in winter 1987, infront of 1000 people. Had only been playing dance music for 1 month but I had started DJing in 86 so had a lot of turntablist skills to fall back on.
But the brown trousers were deffinately in the house if you know what I mean.

Thankfully in them days nobody new anything about beatmatching anyways. The vibe was awesome though. And E's were good back then (so I'm told cough cough...)

Cheers

hey, how do you guys go about getting gigs? i mean, i've only been spining for like 3 weeks but i've already recorded some sets. just wondering what path i should take later on down the line

I got my tables three days ago and I did my first liveset for like 10 of my friends last night and I did pretty well!

It's funny... I was DJ'ing with PSS DJ on my PC for a year and
the skills that I gained from it really, really helped me out
with beatmatching vinyl. I feel like in a month I will be
able to handle a club gig skill-wise... pressure-wise though
I don't know
