I second that!
When using CDJs, ther is a certain lack of skill involved. Also you cant mix your tunes properly just by looking at the track, coz u cant see it, its on a cd. With vinyl you can see the pattern of the tune and mix your tunes together in so many ways.
Not saying CDJs are easy to mix on, but the majority of people who use em dont mix properly. I was at a BIG event in a club this weekend with 6 sound systems and they were all using CDJs (and vinyl but not much at all), i think i heard about 2 tunes mixed together for the whole 9 hours. The rest were stopped and played pretty much every time, and 3 or 4 djs managed to push the wrong RPM button on their “PHAT” pioneer CDJs that they dont know how to use properly. Pisses me off when you see DJs playing shit at events where they get paid and you know you can mix better than that and you just hav to stand and listen to them.Anyways, a good way to get sets at parties is to do wot your doing now on this forum, and also get into music production, make your own tunes and spam record labels with “the freshest techno to see the light of day this year” or sumthing along those lines. You get the idea realy, play phat tunes, play them well, make sure people hear them, dont give up, and you will get to play out at events sooner or later.
I’m sorry ToCoolTom but I honestly don’t mean to be rude but yo clearly do not know what you are talking about when it comes to CDJ’s. I am 31 and have been DJing since I was 13, I’ve gone from belt-drive Soundlabs, to direct drive soundlabs, to 1210’2 to CDJ 100’s and to CDJ 1000’s. It’s exactly the same mixing on CDJ’s as it is on vinyl. Plain and simple no arguments, no debate. the only thing that’s “easier” is you can set the queue point wherever you like, which means no more wearing out the first two beats on your vinyl from scratching it back and forth when queuing your track up for miixng. There are cosmetic differences such as not seeing the grooves of 12″ to spot the break downs etc, but on the 1000 you have a waveform disply, so that solves tha tissue. on the lesser models, you don’t get this you just get a clock counting in / or counting out, so you just need to know your tunes (as any good DJ should) and remember where your last breakdown etc is on the record befoer mixing in your next record for example.
Mate, I’d love to DJ out at partise more but it seems these days unless you can bring a crowd of people with you it doesn’t matter how good a DJ you are! Also if you produce your own music that has been hitting the charts on sites such as Beatport or Juno or seelling as vinyl in the shops then you are “commodity” that can be marketed by the promoter and hopefully they cna use your name to bring in more punters.
Me and some friends get together every now and then and do our OWN parties in bars around Shoreditch, London, sometimes we can have triple figures in attendance, other times maybe 30 people as we are relying on our friends and everyone is getting older and having mroe responsibilitie , know what I mean? Last year we only did 2 parties.
Anyone got any good advice?
Simon
DJ Simon Page: In medieval times, a page was an attendant to a knight; an apprentice squire. A young boy served as a page for seven years, serving, cleaning, and even learning the basics of combat, and the lord he was working for would usually treat him fairly. The lord sometimes gave the page private combat training from the age of seven until he was fourteen. At age fourteen, he could graduate to become a squire, and by age 21, perhaps a knight himself. Strangely enough this was very similar to how a young Simon Page learnt to become a DJ. Simon served as a record bag carrier for much of his young life, cleaning, serving, and learning how to handle vinyl, the DJ who owned him treated him fairly. By the age of 14 he graduated to become a junior DJ, sitting on his master’s knee, sometimes being allowed to place actual records on the turntable. By the age of 21 he was ready to go it alone and become a DJ in his own right, ten years on and he’s almost got it.

Ok, here at Socialise we know you all like house music, I mean we REALLY know you all like house music, but have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? Well, not much chance of that between 4pm and 6pm on a Saturday afternoon, but just remember . . . When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck and bangs the back of your favourite head up against the bar room wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and asks you if you’ve paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye and you remember what old’ Jack Burton always says at a time like that; “Have ya’ paid your dues, Jack? Yes sir, I’m going to listen to Socialise this Saturday 01 May between 4pm-6pm on House 88.6FM. And if I can’t pick it up on the FM dial I’ll be streaming it at HouseFM.NET – Welcome ”

Just how dense is Simon ‘The Boy of Density’ Page? Discuss.
For a homogeneous object, the mass divided by the volume gives the density. Knowing that Simon’s mass shall we say is on the lighter side of bulimic teenage girl, and his volume is, well, stuck on 11 shall we say, we can come to a definitive answer. Where the density of a substance and either mass or volume is known, volume or mass, respectively, can be calculated using either simple algebra or dimensional analysis. The density must be translated as a conversion factor, in Simon Page’s case the number is 88.6 which strangely is where he can be found between the hours of 4pm and 6pm this Saturday 24th April on House 88.6 FM alongside a uniquely inanimate object simply know as Roberto Stringy Pants who, as fortune would have it, is exactly one half of the Socialise trio.

I don’t get on here all the tme, but doesn’t seem to be many new subjects whenever I came on recently that were about things I could chat about . . . Well, I got involved in this one, hey!
I saw that film too, Euro-Trip – I guess they took a bigger trip than they expected on that holiday… However, Michelle Tractenburger (or however you spell her name) basically Buffy’s little sister is VERY HOT – So I think it can be forgiven.
