Developing my style

[Nesquigs]

Take risks.

bingo. most of my good mixes and whatnot are shit i just try and throw together and make sound good... most of the time it doesnt, but sometimes i get a gem and cant stop jumping around because im so stoked except most of the time theres no one around to hear it....

i started recording everything, even when im just goofing off. my harddrive hates me right now.

play the music that you are afraid to tell people you like.

be aware of trends but don't follow them.

challenge yourself by emulating techniques that you are not comfortable with yet, then modify them and experiment with them until you've tweaked it to be your own.


follow those 3 basic guidelines long enough and you'll realize your own unique vision which is way more valuable then just getting good at copying other people's style.

I love that advice. I'm in the same boat you are as a new DJ. Play the music that you love, and if your friends or people you know don't like it, who cares. Yeah making people dance and entertaining the crowd is important, but you have to love what you're doing, otherwise why do it?
