listen to dance music all the time, understand it, understand what it does and when it does it. beat matching is easy (i could teach my mum to do it) its putting a musical journey that matters and this is where you become a dj. don’t get bogged down in the technical side that will all come in time. just immerse yourself in ‘your sound’ and research into how it came about and where its going. Understanding dance music and how it works makes learning the technical side so much easier.
