So… I’m looking at starting a little blog for articles and the whatnot on how to be a better DJ in this underground scene I run in. The problem I’ve seen over and over is there’s no real understanding of gear, or technique or anything and I want to try and impart that on the growing generation of DJs so that my underground doesn’t go the way of Drum 'n Bass (Shit I went there ).
So I was wondering if anyone here would be interested in being an editor for me. I’m going to be going over conceptualizing DJing, talking about gear and technique, everything. But it’ll be from the perspective of the goth/industrial scene, using those songs as examples and the whatnot.
Any help would be appreciated. I’m going to need help setting up the website also, cause I have no earthly clue how that works.
I will be interested on what you write. I can also help with your site depending on when you want that done. Currently helping Ean with this right now (sort of).
Well, my site below is a start for me that a friend updates for me. I’m going to buy a domain name (www.dvlsadvct.com) and start a blogger account, I think, and go from there. I want to provide sound clips and the such.
Does anyone know the legality of that? If I provide clips no longer than 30 seconds just as examples am I infringing on copyright if I give total and full credit, and take no profit?
I am more concerned with textual and stylized editing for now. I’m a pretty good writer but it is hard to edit ones own work.
Yeah, I use audacity already. I’d just record the mix in traktor and bounce it down real low, obviously. I don’t mind buying the domain regardless, just to have it and not need to rely on MySpace anymore.
Are there any other blogs that do this kind of thing for this scene? Anyone know? I’m really unawares, outside of review sites and the whatnot.
Many host companies offers blogging as part of your “tools package” that you just click and install. Then start from there. This is in the case you want to go full blast and get your own domain anyways.
Well, I figure i’d use the whole thing so I could use it for hosting as well for mixes, images, etc.. If no one is reading it I can still use the storage and transfer
Thanks a lot to all of you. This has been a long time coming and I just want to provide some sort of resource to people who don’t spin DnB, Techno and Hip-Hop.
Yeah, I’ve heard a bit about it out in LA. Most of what I’ve heard, though, has been focused on the straight up goth stuff, though, which I don’t really do all that well.
And thanks Tekki. Once I have an article or two more typed up and dealt with some data transfer I’ll see what I need
Would it make sense to try your hand at it first here on Dj TT with a few articles to see how you enjoy the process? Dont under-estimate the work required in running and promoting a blog if you want it to do well.
That could make sense as well. I’m going to buy the domain name and space anyway just to have storage, and I’m not really focusing on controllerism stuff, more of just basic DJ technique and theory. If that’s something you’re interested in I can send you a few of the articles I’ve started drafting as an idea.
While I don’t think it’ll fit the flow of the site I would have no problem providing something to the community
