How to DJ as a duo?

If you want to use Swedish House Mafia as an example, check out some videos of their live sets and try to break down what each person is doing.

Make sure you have someone wearing headphones as a visor at all times and you're set.

i remember on an older dancetrippin.tv episode there were two dudes playing...one was pulling records out...cueing them up...the other guy was mixing them in...trust each other...

Good point, plenty of actual duos vs. unplanned back to back sessions there.

DD's video on the first page is a good example of a 2-man routine.
In a different style, these two guys deconstruct and rebuild tracks with loops for hours on end:

Whatever you do, just don't do a duo like these guys :

These guys are the future. USB cables are a thing of the past.

If you happen to have access to a giant glowing pyramid...

If you're using one mixer buy a splitter so you can both plug in your headphones

i was talking to them after a show a few months back and asked them about their setup for djing together, except i was wasted and mumbled out some random idea that, in reality, makes no sense. that was embarrassing...
