You should read a DJ-book

I've got How to DJ Properly: The art and science of playing records

Its an excellent book, lots of info and a pretty nice read with plenty of humor. Its really just for beginners - intermediates though. I've pretty much gotten all I can out of it and I'm actually looking to sell it if anyone's interested.

Overall if you are a beginner and want to learn the basics of beat matching and learn how to build a set with some handy tips on FX and the like then definitely give it a read, not so much here for the Digi-DJ in regards to tech but if you are willing to skim over the slightly outdated content then still have a look as you may learn something or at least re-enforce what you already know!!!

Peace out

I'm still reading it, I'm a bedroom DigiDJ and I found it really interesting. It's awesome for a DJ like me to know where the things are 10 years ago and where we are know. It opens my mind to where we can be 10 years in the future and it's really impressive how can the Vinyl-CDJ and CDJ-Midi discussion be similar from that time until now.
I probably will never touch a 1200 technics but it's really nice to understand how it worked well for that time. It's like go to a museum (I'm exaggerating but you got the point ) and listen an explanation about how one tool changed a whole aspect of a technical job.
It's a really nice time-warping read.
