Digital DJing – DJing with laptops and controllers – has made achieving the “DJ lifestyle” easier than ever.
Do
you want to play in your favourite bars and clubs,
instead of just going to them? Get on guest lists across town? Be “the
DJ” in your circle of friends? Do you dream of playing your favourite
tunes to packed dancefloors of people who’ve come just to hear
you?
Of course you do! And as you’ve already guessed, digital DJing can
get you all of this, more cheaply and more easily than ever was the case
for vinyl and CD DJs.
Trouble is though, with all the different systems out there to choose
from, as well as digital music, DJing techniques and technical skills
to master,
it can be almost impossible for you – the new DJ – to know where to start.
What gear is right for you? Where do you find the best music? What
skills do you need? How do you plug your gear in when you get to the
clubs? Hell, what does a DJ even really
do nowadays?
Without proper answers to these questions, you’ll find
it’s costly, time-consuming and frustrating to get to the stage where you can play a DJ set in public.
It often used to take years for vinyl and CD DJs to master the basics,
never mind play real gigs – and while it can be easier to get going with
digital, you still need to practise the right things in order to do it
well enough to play out.
And the harsh truth is that without getting to the stage where
you can play confidently in public on your new digital gear, you’re
never going to get the success you want. You’ll always be a bedroom DJ,
dreaming about it yet getting no closer to it happening for you.
I know all of this because five years ago, I was new to digital too!
I've DJed in some of the world's best nightclubs, and this course takes all of that experience and applies it to digital DJing.
Granted, I’d already been a professional DJ for nearly 10 years. I’d
DJed at the biggest club in the world (Privilege in Ibiza), run and DJed
at my own wildly successful UK club night for over a decade (Tangled in
Manchester), and mixed on the radio (for Ministry of Sound
internationally and Kiss/Galaxy FM in the UK). I was already living the
dream DJ’s life I’d always wanted, and getting paid excellently for it.
But then I realised digital was the future, and knew I had to switch – and suddenly,
I felt like I was back at DJ school!
It took many, many months to learn how to DJ digitally. Along the way, I
ended up writing some of the very first digital DJ lessons and training
courses (for IDJ Magazine in the UK) – because those guys understood
digital even less than I did at the time! Slowly, through trial and
error, I switched to DJing professionally with laptops and controllers…
and have never looked back.
Since then, as well as DJing in “normal” clubs, I’ve played in some
amazing places with my controller – places where you could never DJ with
traditional gear: Beach parties, pool parties, impromptu raves, even in
hotel rooms!
I’ve also taught hundreds of DJs how to become a DJ with controllers
and laptops, countless of whom have gone on to get gigs and success for
themselves. And as founder, publisher and editor of popular and
respected DJ website Digital DJ Tips, I continue to help DJs like you to
learn, every single week.
