The point I was trying to get across to you Majestic, is try to get a unit that has jogwheels.(opinion) Im not trying to hate on you or your style.

I know other styles beatmatch, Im not ignorant.Like I mentioned earlier, I respect your opinion, Im just stating mine.

Scratching is just a minor technique some people “try” to use. If im in a club and hear a dj attempt to scratch I walk out as it ruins the flow of music and makes it hard to dance and enjoy the night, Unless I pay to go and see a specific dj play and do a performance I dont want to hear scratching and can almost put money on it that neither do the punters wanting to dance to lady gaga!
Its rare today to hear a dj scratch, especially in a club environment. Exessive scracthing in a club is annoying, I do agree.Does it hurt to do it when fading in a song with a bpm that is way off?? No.I do respect your opinion, as well as everyone elses, but i do feel you are over exaggerating by saying: “If im in a club and hear a dj attempt to scratch I walk out as it ruins the flow of music and makes it hard to dance and enjoy the night” . Not really! C mon

Please don’t go saying stuff like that, it’s just plain dumb.
I beg to differ. ANYONE can play a list of songs without beatmatching or scratching. Im just saying

Personally, I think you are not a Dj if you dont scratch.
MemberEven though you dont like the genre, If I was you,I would go checkout a hip hop club/bar to see what the djs are playing. Personally ,i have music for every taste, just in case I come across a similar situation as to yours.You handled it pretty well.I know other djs whom would of got into it with the patrons
MemberThx everyone, I appreciate the feedback. Im loading up my tunes for my comeback as wer speak;).
MemberIm scared of being rusty when i get back into the scene
MemberDj iceman, post: 5997 wrote: actually yes i do. use it for all my gigs. mint you its not the best for scratching(im on a cheap windows laptop with virtual dj) but it works for all the basics!! especially when mapped right
Thats Cool.Im still need to purchase my unit which Im getting for sure the Reloop mixage ie
MemberIt really just depends on your personal preference.Macs are awesome,but yet pricey.I Dj on a windows computer, running windows 7, and havent had any problems with it as far as viruses or malfunctions during sets (knock on wood lol).

Are you using the vestax for live gigs?
MemberI agree with Kid Capri.If she would of requested a reggae song, I’m sure his response would of been different.He was playing hip-hop, and she wanted him to switch up the genre completely, so I see exactly where he was coming from.Sometimes I want to do that as well and put people on blast, but at the end of the day, I want to keep my gigs.My name is not Kid Capri

I understand where you are coming from. Im from the east coast, which currently I live out west.It took me sometime to bring myself to playing west coast artists such as e-40, too short, etc. Not a huge fan of e-40, or rejects whom made the song cat daddy, but i still play it.
MemberDJ EENGENIOUS, post: 4138 wrote: Thing is, I’m somewhat of a hip-hop purist myself lol .
Huge fan of 2pac, Biggie, Snoop Dogg – basically 90s hip hop. Favorite artists today are Jay-Z, Kanye, Eminem, and Lupe – so there’s only so ghetto I’m willing to goDj EENGENIOUS, what does ghetto have to do with music? Your favorite artist you mentioned, some came from the ghetto, which I dont understand that comment. Music is universal, wether it is house,pop, r&b , etc.
MemberOk cool thx
