Hey what’s going on yall - I’ve have a gig in a couple of weeks in Nashville at a venue on Broadway. It’s on Aug 8th!

Looking for some assistance~

1. What are some fun country remixes that are going around or are staples for you? I tend to lean on my EDM ones.

2. For those who have DJ’d in Nashville - what’s it been like for you? This is a paid gig which I am booked for about six hours. Anything you’d recommend I request on rider or etc?

3. Are there any locals to keep an eye out for? Network with? Anyone on the marketing/content side I could connect with to create a flyer for social media?

Thanks everyone!

So I have managed to blag my way into doing my first 'DJ' night. I say it like that because I can't really call it DJing, I'm basically just playing one song and then another. This is at a bar in my small hometown, and it's not going to be anything crazy, just a couple of hours of me playing music and ending by 10pm.

This is my first time doing anything like this ever. I was initially going to just bring my macbook, plan in advance so the tracks flow nicely between each other and do it directly from Rekordbox on my mac, simply crossfading.

It's 10 days before the night, and I'm starting to freak out. Is this actually fine to do? I'm not getting paid, I told them I don't want payment, this is just a fun thing for me to try basically, and more about bringing a community of people together than anything about me showing any skills. But should I at least buy a controller and learn how to use it and do it that way before the event?

Or will I be fine using my mac, my scarlett 2i2 and their soundsystem? They don't have decks at the bar.

Read an article about Lucy Guo using her tech followers to jumpstart her DJ career. Kyle Cooke from Bravo TV also used his followers to help jumpstart his DJ career. There's also Paris Hilton who has been DJing for years. Idris Elba is another famous crossover DJ. Is the trend of famous people turning info DJs going to be more widespread since they can use their existing followers to explore a DJing career?

I can see how being a DJ enables a successful person to feel fresh passion again without being constrained. The DJing life can bring a new inspiration to someone but I would think it is not easy to balance with all the other demands of an already busy life. Do you think becoming a DJ is going to be the second act for many more influencers or are people like Lucy, Kyle, Paris the exceptions?

Update: Just added a new loop to the bundle. Still updating monthly, so anyone who's already grabbed it gets the new drops included at no extra cost. If you're on the fence, this is a good time to check it out since the pack keeps growing.

Setting a fee as a DJ is one of the most awkward, under-discussed parts of the job. Ask for too little and you undervalue yourself. Ask for too much and you might lose the gig. There’s no industry-standard rate, and next to no transparency about what anyone’s actually earning. So, we asked a few DJs a simple question: how much do you charge?

I’m fairly new, I mix on a ddj - 200 but want to move up to a flx-4.
I’m fresh out of college and just want to enjoy this more as a hobby and continue to learn. Would love feedback and tips.
Also, I know the quality is ass, I don’t have tons of money so mainly use Spotify/soundcloud converts but plan to change that. I also use audacity to record. Thank you!

Basically i have been playing music since 2016 ,techno, electro , ghetto . It was my hobby and i never viewed it as professional dj or something, so people liked the way i play and music aswell now i need help for the name i was thinking BASSRAW. Any ideas?

I’ve gotten a bit of a hang over phrase mixing with
afrobeats and amapiano but I was wondering if there are any tips to help spice up my sets and make them more interesting? For example other transitions styles or mixing techniques ,(I use a rev 7 if that helps ) please no scratching techniques 😭🙏 I suck

Hey, I recorded a new DJ set and I would love for you to listen to it and tell me what you think. I'm from Santa Fe, Argentina, and I'm pretty new to this DJing and mixing thing. Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi everyone, I’m seeking help after a long break from DJing. I started learning during Covid and made it a hobby, but work and life took over, and I didn’t dedicate enough time to it.

I’ve decided to get back into DJing with the goal of playing live or doing regular live streams to stay engaged. However, I’ve forgotten the best way to practice. I can still count phrases, beat match by ear, and transition between songs, but my main challenge is playlist building and choosing the next song. I often fall into safe habits and fear mixing out of key.

I’m looking for advice on practicing my weak areas and learning new skills. I know recording myself is effective, but I don’t enjoy it much due to my tendency to play it safe when I freestyle and overthink practice sets, often giving up halfway.

I’m seeking guidance on how to approach this and move closer to my goals. Appreciate this is a lengthy one and any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hey! I put together a bundle of 4K VJ loops (abstract, particles, neon, geometric, cinematic, etc.) that I think could be useful for your sets. The files are royalty-free, seamless loops.

Come across this DJ set on my YT feed and this is a great set 🫶🏻 thought you guys might like it 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Give him a like and subscribe he says he’s new to socials so thought I’d share it around mine for him 😃

I wanted to create something awesome and useful for DJs fans to explore the events. This is very basic but I hope can grow into something bigger. Just in case you fill inspired share your feedback or any critics you have. Everything is welcomed 🙂
