TO ME DJ MIXING IS AN ARTFORM....
It..s my way of escapism.
what I enjoy most about dj-ing is that It is creative. You can give 2 DJs the same selection of records and what they will doo with them will be very different, its a personal thing.
At the end of the day, it..s not about the separate records, it..s what you make of them.
THE MIXING SKILL
THE SCRATCHING
THE LONG MIX
CHOP MIX
QUICK MIX
QUALITY
There are too many narrow minded DJs or play it safe DJs as it is out there.
a true DJ should educate as well as entertain.
showing the roots and heritage of our learned skillz.....

THE DJs LADDER
We've stood outside with flyers at some club 2 promote where were playing next time.
We've lugged our equipment over fields just to DJ at an illegal rave.
We've got our vehicles stuck in the mud at raves in the middle of the forest.
We've been at the station until 3am, than back again at 7am.
We've had to chase down a promoter to get paid.
we've spent hours on the road trying to get to the next gig on time picking up the odd driving penalty on the way.
We've spent hours in the studio, trying to perfect our mixtape/cds, then went back in again for changes. Played it for another DJ, than went back in a third time to make more changes.
We've been left by our friends at the record store who didn't want to wait as we stood looking for the perfect sample.
We've been asked to play a song that we just played...then asked to play it again...
We've searched for weeks for the graphic designer we paid who disappeared when we needed our artwork.
No matter what crew, what city what promotor or what artists we are working with...
We connect with those that share our passion...
