    I contacted “local” booking agencies, one signed me in, and I’ve beed doing mobile gigs since with great success. Also go to clubs, meet other DJs, since they’re the ones that do all that stuff.

    Oh, the mix was very good, nice progression, flawless and well thought out transitions. I did like the mix very much. The only complain I have, is, that IMO you had too much of the same producers, since when I go clubbing, the less I hear tracks I know, the better, but this is ofc only my preference. This could as well be a khomha set, as any coldharbor artist’s. You can take this as much of a feedback, as a compliment, whitchever you prefer.

    also upload it to mixcloud or similiar, get some following, lots of listens and likes and provide link, so you can show that someone likes your stuff. Its not done overnight, but will really help if you have something that tells that you can get someone in.

    Well this certainly isn’t the first time you mixing. Nothing to complain/argue, except thats its a bit cheesy, but who am I to blame…

    Hello and welcome. Read guides, search the internet, get paid courses if you feel the need for. This stuff however is something that teaches you just by doing it, so relax and embrace it! ^_^

    Thanks Chuck…

    This is the kind of thinking that some “wannabe DJs” have, they don’t care about the music, they just want something that “works in the club”, so to speak.

    I honestly want to believe that these kind of people do not exist.

    Lately, lots of the stuff I use, I’ve found on soundcloud. If something I like there is not a free download, its usually found from iTunes/BPM supreme/beatport.

    About speakers, anything you have already will propably do (like home hi-fi system or so). For starter that is. You really don’t need any high grade active speakers to get going. Whenever you start producing stuff, its a different thing.

    For the little practicing I do at home, I just have a good set of PC speakers (Creative gigaworks T80 that is).

    About the controller issue, I have a penny or two: I think yo should go for something “cheap”, say an entry lvl controller for starters. Practice for a year or so, and only then will you know what are the things YOU want from your controller AND your software.
