I personally love the feel and handling of vinyl, but the truth is...it is expensive. I am now looking at buying CDJs simply to be able to expand my music collection the way I want to without it costing thousands of dollars. I am one of those DJs who walks into a record store and leaves depressed because money does not allow me the opportunity to play the variety of music I want....at least, not on vinyl. |

I can't single out one DJ/producer...I think it's too early 4 me 2 narrow it down to 1...I'm listening to a lot of good stuff; this I know 4 sure:
Funky: Mark Farina, Frankie Knuckles, Steve Porter, DJ Dan, Fred Everything, (MTL Talent: King Louis, DJ Kal...)
Dark: John Digweed, Steve Lawler, Sven Vath, Danny Howells, Satoshi Tomiie, Hernan Cattaneo, James Zabiela, James Holden, (MTL Talent: Maus...)
Sander Kleinenberg just plays sexy proggy house...so good...
As u can see, I haven't found my personal style yet (I just started lol!) but I love Farina and Digweed, probably my top 2 from either extreme side of the house music spectrum. Digweed kills it with his basslines and his technical abilities and Farina is just too good to be true imo...
I adore Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso, Axwell, Tiefschwarz, Trentemoller...
I think that's enough lol...:) |

| If you're looking for buying records, i recommand you Da Muzz, it's a dj shop on st-catherine street corner Papineau. You can find there a good choice of house music and there's a section where you can find vinyl at 3$!!!:eyes: |

Selecting your style will come with time, especially when u purchase decks, u are going to start filtering out more and more types that you will like at first and then quickly get bored of. Im reaching a point right now (after more then a year of spinning) where i found exactly what i wanna spin and im just spending time looking for tracks to flow. Lots of wasted money on vynils but hey, i loved and love every single moment of it.
But... i guess this might not apply to every dj. |

^^ agreed
and I don't think you need a musical background to DJ. Many people do but it's not necessary. |

Music background is important, maybe not in djing but definitly in producing! |

I don't think a music background is essential to have as a producer either. It's nothing you can't learn as you go. Many people learn a lot from DJing before they get to producing anyways. |

or vice versa |

True...it's all something you can learn as you go but having it (the musical background) from the start just seems like one less thing to worry about in the future...
I know I love house music enough to dance to it and more importantly, to feel it. Now it's just a matter of time, effort and concentration until I know it well enough to be able to make it my own sound :) |
