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

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 😛 ---

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. ---

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?” ---

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 . 😉 ---

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’. ---

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. ---
