how do you become a well known DJ

well heres the thing ive set up a youtube account http://www.youtube.com/user/somedjdesigns and im going to be making a video a week. Trying out different things ive done a lot of house partys and im just asking if theres any thing i could do to try and get people to come see what i do on youtube and give me some help on what site i should be going on to and joining

Start producing and get you’re tracks on the top 10 beatport list. That’s how you become a well known DJ

dont get me wrong i love making music i just feel like i want to step the djing up a gear you know what i mean

is there any other djing web sites you think i should get in to

native instruments forum is ok. i‘m reading pretty often in there, but don’t post myself.
http://www.native-instruments.com/forum/

create digital music is also cool. very inspiring.

skratchworx does have cool reviews. very helpful for buy decisions.

last but not least of the pages i frequently use is the ableton forum.

for gadgets in general definitely http://gizmodo.com/ and http://www.engadget.com/. they feature dj/audio gadgets once in a while.

yeah, that’s pretty much all of the sites i highly visit. djtechtools is still the best!

Personally I think striving to become famous is the wrong way to go about it. Learn and have fun with what you are doing. Produce if you enjoy it, if you don’t… don’t. Be famous for what you enjoy, not what you’d like to enjoy.

My 2p :stuck_out_tongue:

Agree with Barrys 2p.

If you want to be famous go on X-Factor or Big Brother.

Love music and the rest will either fall into place or you will have a life of fun doing something worthwhile and have a normal job.

Become a DJ to be famous and you might end up like this knob-jockey.

fuck a scandelous hollywood media whore.

9

Kill your whole family with a bag of hand grenades.
That will get you pretty famous, pretty quick.
Tell the press your a DJ .

Badda-bing your a Famous DJ.

^ good point.. family is a lot easier to access than hollywood media whores.

only thing is the guy might have problems getting a hold of grenades though, maybe post a thread in the buy+sell section?
“WTB: Grenades for make famous?”

11

Drop a few bangers on the dance floor: literally

12

See, I wasnt thinking about the practicalities of getting hold of small arms and municians was I .

Maybe he could join the Army first. Serve a few years. Get pally with the guy in the stock room and cut him a deal for some mix CDs. Say 100 copies of his mix for 5 grenades.

I think we may have strayed off point with this . :wink:

13

only slightly :stuck_out_tongue:

I always find that DJing naked (with no equipment) outside your local closed down branch of Woolworth’s always acquires one a certain measure of ‘fame’.

15

Simple: knock off Deadmau5’s sound. Worked for Adam K & Soha at least lol.

16

I would say going out to DJ in a club to actual people is a step. I don’t know any DJ’s that got famous from posting vids on youtube…Maybe that’s just me though.

17

ok ok i dont want to be famous or any thing just wanted to know how i could hit the masses with my videos thanks for all the replys the naked ones the best so far

18

who?

19

OMG lol:smiley:
