after selectin last time beethoven between some deep tunes someone told me you do this too.... may i have a mix of yours, that's sounds just like the mix i'm looking for

[yamaz]

I started djing a few months ago with ableton. Im mostly learning cause I wanted to mix in my own music at times and eventually do live performance instead of straight mixing...seems like it will be the trend in a few years

a DJ bible

genesis: buy tunes
exodus: mix tunes

I was spinning techno (mostly older, darker, harder stuff) pretty actively until about 6-10 months ago. I was massively into it for years but kinda lost a bit of my passion for it, and in the end it got too dry for me to justify spending loads of money on new vinyl when I no longer cared that much about the latest white label from Hardwax. I'll get back into it again soon. In the meantime it's nice buying music for the sake of enjoyment, rather than collecting DJ tools for the sake of being on top of all the latest releases.

[bennyboyt]

I really want to learn how to Dj, through using Ableton so I guess I'm going to hang around this thread for a while

[phrex]

been djing for few years now, but never really learned beatmatching since i was more of a collector playing out his collection back to back. which is the usual thing in early reggae/rock steady.

been djing seriously since few months

[thierry_le_dj]

i have been mixing on table's since 98 i started from 90's hardcore,hard trance,then went to speed garage to heavy weigh breaks...but pretty much stop around 2004 when i moved oversea's for a few yrs then when i moved back got into production mid 2008 and recently bought my self some 2nd hand pair of turntable's have only few dubstep vinyl collection as most shop where am at have shut down these days but will probably upgrade to serato as i preferr turntables than cdj's..
