Been playing records since 91, but not as heavy into it as a year or so ago, way more into design.
The rave scene was my gateway into computer design, mainly via flyers...

I'm starting to play tunes I make plus well known stuff all kinds of genres.
I wanna do my own packaging plus flyers if I play somewhere.
Is that trying too hard?

nothing against... bunch of my friends are djs its just a funny essay

was a hip hop dj for about 10 years... did some battling on the chicago circuit around 95 - 97...
these days... too old for these new-fangled cd mixing sets.

Music and design goes hand in hand, always worked for me.
I just got another full set of drums too...been 10 years since I had one and it's fun as shit to beat the hell out of them when I get home from work!

DJ's who solely mix with CD's are lame in my books...
- enobrev0
agreed.. though it does seem a hell of a lot lighter.

tell me about it, I'll be playing for like 4 hours this weekend, so I have to cart over about 100 records to my mates house...
It'd be easier if I was a techno or house DJ where they can play a 2 hour set with like 20 records...
- enobrev0
bah.. when i was doing chicago house in 92 it was at least a couple crates for a decent set. then again there were points when you'd never let a cut go past 2 breaks.

including remixes for coldcut, and grabriel & dresden.
my first love is still drum n bass, but I haven't done a track in a few months...
- enobrev0
but yes, i suppose many centuries later it's ok to just tweak eq's and call it a night.

ableton Live mate, teh future, roll up and DJ for hours and hours with a laptop. I know the vinyl purists are all over it saying that it's a cop out but I don't know a designer who doesn't like a bit of technology. If anyone's interested I put up a mix here the other day....link:

Minimal techno and the like.
I always do the packaging for these mixes and am no happier when I'm on my mac, making a mix and designing the sleeve. Sweet.

Calles, I read that and it sure was funny.
In fact I spent the rest of the day reading this guy and he is pretty funny.
I especially enjoyed the pic of the DJ Groupie!
I aspire to that.
- CALLES0
yeah like i said... nothing agaisnt by all means... i just think the guy is funny.... i dont want the post to be taken the wrong way
- mr_snuggles0
those were different times eno. but yeah there are still guys who kick it like so, I shouldn't generalize, but you caught my drift...

Ive got ableton live but not got my head into it yet.
Is it easy to get into the mixing then?Does it just allow you to drop tracks and play them or can you chop up bits and remix AND dj at the same time?

I DJ a little bit. Here is my site, and there is a hour long mix you can download.
