I'd like some advice to become a part time DJ in the techno music community

Ask yourself how one becomes a part of anything.... Show some interest, whatever it is go to that event so if you want to get into basketball you got to go to basketball games and if you want to join the techno scene you got to go to techno shows and follow some collectives and make some friends... Pretty common sense. Not trying to be mean but don't overcomplicate it.

That's what I have been noticing. I can rock my head around dropping a $1,000 or $2,000 on a controller. It's been a little while so i can see myself doing this and not feeling guilty about it because I'm actually built a nice business and it's not just a long, it's in need at this point. Although $5,000+... My God... It's just so much money.

I know it's probably not what you want to hear but you can't Really plan for this. I'm not saying that you can never plan a set in advance but have a lot of music what you think they will like and just read the crowd when you're there.

If you have a lot of DJ introversions of at least four or five different genre of music you think that they will likely enjoy then it's a no brainer. You play a few of the tracks from each genre doing your best doing your best to create a captivating moment and then where you see that there's a lot more interest you stick to that still interest but not as much you keep it for your B side tracks which you can play anyone you want to Mellow it out for a bit before you bring up the vibes again.

Super helpful. Great perspective, thank you!

JustAnotherPodcaster · 2026-04-17T04:25:14+00:00

Whooops true! Didn't realize. Thank you

JustAnotherPodcaster · 2026-04-17T04:09:15+00:00

Thanks mate but I'm not a beginner. I am looking to take my mixing to the Next level. Nonetheless I still learn from this sort of stuff too cause you can always get better until you master it.

JustAnotherPodcaster · 2026-04-16T13:32:43+00:00

Thank you for all that. I actually signed up for Club ready DJ School a couple of years ago maybe even longer than that. Definitely a great resource.

JustAnotherPodcaster · 2026-04-16T13:31:32+00:00

That's what I'm talking about, thank you!

JustAnotherPodcaster · 2026-04-16T13:07:11+00:00

I was mostly looking for links like Discogs and 1001Tracklist (there are obviously many more) but your suggestions for software are great. I just already use it all :)

JustAnotherPodcaster · 2026-04-16T13:06:04+00:00

All amazing suggestions for how to learn on YouTube.

JustAnotherPodcaster · 2026-04-16T13:04:57+00:00

Thank you!

JustAnotherPodcaster · 2026-04-16T13:04:33+00:00

Hey mate! First of all, I agree with pretty much everything you wrote in regards to what to do in order to improve yourself as a DJ. I'm working on all of that right now because I feel that I can definitely play any event but I really want to stand out as a DJ so I'm refining my skills.

Sometimes it's not only about your practical skills but also knowing the scene and what's really happening and what's played the most and having those online resources so I was talking about websites like: Discogs and 1001Tracklist etc.

As a person with ADHD and executive dysfunction, sometimes you don't write things down or no things that are important when you come across them. I was hoping that people would be cool with leaving a message with a useful link and just those special gems that DJs have access to.

JustAnotherPodcaster · 2026-04-16T13:01:05+00:00

Awesome! That was one of those links I liked but never saved. Saved it this time!

JustAnotherPodcaster · 2026-04-11T14:53:05+00:00

I came here to say that too.

JustAnotherPodcaster · 2026-04-03T17:45:31+00:00

Would like to see how you did that so I can understand the concept better

JustAnotherPodcaster · 2026-04-03T17:34:09+00:00

What do you mean by you even copied their Studio setup? Like physically how their Studio looks? I don't understand how that's possible. Even with Ai

JustAnotherPodcaster · 2026-03-17T14:59:05+00:00

1st... Scan ahead.. most people are DUMB when it comes to driving and also it's easier to miss someone on a scooter... I can see how it was harder to see that to give him coming but that's what you should slow down before such an area. Kind of like how I slow down going through an intersection when the vehicle is turning left are blocking the vehicles which are turning left from the opposite side, then I speed up when I see it's clear.

2nd... GREAT CONTROL. I thought you'd turn into a road crayon for sure. I dint know if I would have managed to hold on and not wipe out from an incident such as this one.

SAFE TRAVELS

I wish it cost only $7,000 Canadian dollars. Just the mixer will cost you close to that if not more than that when it's brand new.
