Contents of the video
Good morning folks. Right, I had a message from Scott. He has said, I'm going to turn away now because I've got to look at the screen. I watch your videos, interested in becoming a DJ but it looks slightly difficult. I'm wondering if I should buy decks or not. I don't want to buy decks to find out that I can't use them or that there isn't a lot of money to be made as a DJ. OK, right, there is a great deal of money to be made as a DJ but only if you're damn good, OK? Alternatively, this is what we do, alright? If you're only just starting and you want to know if you want to buy decks, the first thing you need to do is practice. How do you practice but you need to buy decks? Of course, go and find a mate who's got turntables. CD decks, turntables, it depends on what you want to do. Do you want to use vinyl or CD? That's the first choice. Then go and practice. Practice on them. If you get good, then you need to make the choice. Do you want to buy some stuff? For God's sake, do not buy cheapy decks.
Because believe me, you'll buy the cheap decks because you think save money. Short term you save money, long term you actually lose money because when you get too good for them then you'll realise that you need to buy decent decks like Technics or Vestax. Therefore the original decks you bought are worth nothing because no one really wants second hand decks. Like I said, how do you make money? If you become very good you can work in nightclubs etc. Difficult to get in, a lot of people there, but it's worth it. The other one, which is where you can earn decent money quite relatively easy, is become like a wedding party DJ. I know it sounds very dodgy, it makes me laugh at you, but you'll be the one out there on a Saturday night earning 200 quid. How do you do it? Buy yourself a small PA system, a few lights, the Now CDs, best of 60s, 70s, play ABBA, stuff like that. You'll hate it. Alright, it's a bit of fun, I suppose, but at the end of the day, that money...
You earn, we'll buy the stuff you like. If you're into drum and bass, let's face it, what's a drum and bass 12-inch now? 8 quid, 9 quid, you know, I mean, how many people can afford to go out and buy 10 of those in a week, alright? It's a lot of money, but you do your wedding discos, you can afford to do it, okay? I hope that's been helpful. Any more information you need, give us a call. Bye as you are.
