Hi there Plus!ers
.
As the topic says, I have great dreams to become a DJ (and an economist in full time also lol). However, I've never been in touch with this environment and am currently looking for some advice (potentially free advice, that is lol)
I really like hip hop (good hip hop of course) and after having 'studied' it a bit and knowing more from the late 80's / 90's, I think I now have enough to start my dream. Starting with some simple mixes, just making compilations of songs I love, getting to know the 'game' works, get my idea?
Just look at DJ Premier's MPC + Sampling + Scratching great job in this video : (watch the first 50 seconds) :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCU-qgR_4bM ... Just love the beat he makes on the MPC and the scratch / sample fits so greeeat. Doing that is my dream made into images lol.
Knowning some members have experience in this area (Exca, MC Inferno), I would like to ask them what should I read and what should I learn prior to buying gear and learning how to work with it.. I'm looking to buy some used mixers / decks for my first experience, but I really don't know what to pick and, further more, I don't even know if this is the right place to start on.
Just to conclude my hopes and dreams, I do not exclude House music from my horizons but I want to start with some type of music I'm into, and as I know very little about House...
For all of you who are saying "WHY IS THIS IN TECH TALK?!?!one", well, it's about TECHNOLOGIC musical aid lol (and how to start using it too)
Thanks y'all
