Unfortunately I don't spin, strictly produce at this point. Back in 2000 when I was doing hard trance/acid techno I did live PA a rave that one of my friends through. My real love has been dark/techstep jungle, I've been back at making that since 2005 or so, still working out the technicals and still making progress.
One of these days though I really should give turntables a try again, my friends almost talked me into buying a pair of Technics back in 2000 - almost did but when I borrowed my buddies turntables, even with a good selection oldskool jungle to line up, it didn't seem like there was enough to it to enjoy - I respect people who can line up a good set, I know that if I ever really get serious I'll need to learn how (most producers who enter the scene still get thrown into podcasts and live sets even if its not their primary skill), if the need comes though I'll gladly drop $1,500.00 on turntables and a mixer, until then though I'll keep my money spent on synths and RTAS plug-ins

Hi Followthereaper90! Thanks very much for the info. If you wanted to earn money doing it, would you have to declair yourself self employed and do your own tax? I think that's what you have to do in UK and here in France too. Even if you have other jobs. That's really good that you enjoy it so much. I can't wait to get into it. So, do you think your AS means you can connect with the music better? Thanks for those pieces of advice. Do you use vinyl or CDJ?
Oh, and normally, I'm not so keen on that kind of music, but I really enjoyed your mix

.Hi techstepgenr8tion! Thanks for that. I like the more exotic genres like that, too
I wonder how much you can mix up different genres in a mix?? Anyway, that's really good you're working hard in production. I know what you mean about producers and DJing. I would like to eventually get into the studio and produce my own tunes, but I plan master the turntables first and see if I can get myself know. Also, the energy you can get spinning I think sounds amazing. So, I hope you find yourself on them again soon! I think Antoine Clamaran is a great example. He's a French dj very popular in France. He is always working on new records but still seems to find time for regular gigs and weekly live radio mixes too!

Oh right ok. Personally, I don't want to use mp3 and don't think it's "real". Although, I really don't know how it's possible to have all the songs you need with you all the time. And yes, that's a good option lol. I guess work now and then wouldn't really hurt for just cash in hand. Once I'm earning big bucks, I'll have to get myself sorted out

Brilliant! I really liked that. Do you enjoy doing it? Is it something you want to do in the future, or just for fun?

That's a real shame. I did a show for a short time with a charity radio station which was great fun. Maybe you could search for more stations to work on, because there's lots out there, especially online.
I got a job shortly after so I would of had to quit anyways. I haven't listened to online stations much sense so I'm kind of out of the loop with things; that was like 5 years ago. I mite would like doing it again if I got to do my show like I wanted. I think lots of stations have guidelines about about music format, language ect. My listeners liked me cuz I was random & said some really offensive stuff & had very odd song arrangements; like I'd play a song by a slu*ty 17 year-old pop singer back2back with that Winger song, "She's Only 17". People who dislike pop music like it when the song arrangement is implying things
Did any of you guys have any kewl DJ names
I called myself "DJ.DeadEyes". Dying Eyes was a tittle of an RPG game designed for some graphing calculators that I played a lot in high-school & I have low vision
