I've been reading your forums lately and all I have to say is that you people truls are tranceAddicts.
I have some questions to ask. I'm trying to get some gigs as a dj, but don't know where to begin, can any of you help me? I'm 19 years old and think i'm good enough now to be doing this as more than a hobbie. So please if you guys have any suggestions, feel free to post them.
And another thing, who is Hartec? I've been hearing so much about him lately. Does he have a web site I can visit to learn more? |

| I got my first gig djing when i was 18....it was at one of those parties show casing new talent or some ...in other words it was a way for a club owner to get a lot of djs to come free and he knew all of us would bring a crew sooooo i got on at about 2am till 3:20 and then after i got off a bunch of guys gave me bussines cards... I dont work as a dj i just do it for fun...soo i didnt wanna go to a agency or anything soo nowadays i spin at like 1 or 2 clubs a week just for fun and free drinks...Maybe when i need the cash ill start promoting myself i got some friends that have done that they make like 2 mixtapes a week and give em out to club owners. |

| That's cool man, thanks for the advice. I'm starting to look for work at my college, cause they always throw parties and . I think if I get a break i'll definately make it, cause there are only a select few that play club bursting music around here, and maybe I can one day be one of them. I'm also saving my money right now to throw a massive party, is that a good idea you think? |

| methinks party is a cool idea, but it would only be a good promotion if you invite the right people. Also, the easiest way to get a gig or a regular job at a club, is to phone up the owner of a club you think needs a good dj like you and promote yourself, ask him to accept a few mixtapes you've recorded. |

| IF your gonna start doing college parties throw down stuff people know...even though you may hate it DO IT the college crowd is the hardest at least in a club you can do your own thing and noone realy s with you but college people are gonna be asking "could you play that song that sounds like" and learn to scratch most kids realy like that..and its a show off factor....but once you start trying to get into a club make sure your unique in the style of music you play dont limit yourself just to one genre. |
