New to "DJing" - would like some advice

for sure!

Maybe we can make this a bit of a challenge... Since you're a new DJ, chances are your first few bookings will be opening slots. Let's say you got booked to open for a deep house type of night(Let's say someone like MK would be headlining). What would your mix be like? How would you play? Record your mix later with this mindset and I'll gladly critique you

Or you can just record your mix and we'll critique you anyways but I thought that may be a fun little challenge.

I'll x2 wha Kwal said.
Have fun, be creative, don't be afraid to explore your talent, it's where the best ideas come from. Draw inspiration from DJ's who you like to listen to, and develop ideas from there. Look forward to hearing your mix.

Inspiration for me was listening to 'as heard on Radio Soulwax pt.2' - 2manyDJs - It totally changed how I play live, so many ideas on one CD, that it had me buzzing.

Where in UK are ya mate?

Yeah it is kinda rare I can easily vouch for that lol. I'm a part of a huuuuuge gaming forum and I am known as one of the biggest dickheads there. It's all to kill time though
