It's definitely a hard one getting from bedroom DJ to playing at clubs etc. (I'm still a bedroom DJ lol). If you aren't playing out too much there's no point upgrading your controller... I found that it's just the same old shit any way, I've still got my Mixtrack Pro. What you should be doing is doing a mix frequently (every week is good) and uploading it on Youtube, soundcloud and mixcloud. Fuck it why not all 3? Do the music you like... Look through Beatport, juno, traxsource, youtube, soundcloud etc. (A good one with banging tunes is Blackmarket Records) Make sure it's at least 45 minutes long and no longer than 90 minutes long. Keep it reasonably snappy. Then make a CD send it to some local clubs/bars even restaurants, put a little info slip in the cd case saying your name, description, facebook, youtube, mixcloud, soundcloud MOST IMPORTANTLY phone number + email. Oh and DJ name, that always comes in handy. If they actually listen to it and like what they hear they have no reason not to give ya a ring
Basically on a side note but also important note, if you don't work hard at it.. You won't get it... That little rule is with nearly everything in life...
I hope I was some help to you
PS: What headphones and laptop do you have? If you have a shit laptop then you may need to upgrade... Same with headphones lol it really is important
