Becoming a good DJ is as much about having the right skills for the job as it is about making the right decisions each time.
If you want to become a great DJ there are several things that you need to keep in mind in order to be great at the work. Whether you are a DJ as a hobby and just to have some fun with your family and your friends or whether you want to become a professional DJ, some of the skills will overlap but some of the skills you will need to be effective may vary slightly. For example, if you just want to listen to good music with your friends at home on a chilled out Friday night. The equipment that you will need to be able to do this will be quite different from what you will need if you are playing at a Friday night gig at a club or at a wedding for that matter. On the other hand, the taste for the music that you play in either situation may be exactly the same, so that if you love EDM music, it doesn’t matter if you are playing and mixing music for your friends or for revellers at a club. Additionally, the decision that you make while playing for your friends versus the decisions that you need to make while playing at a club may vary. Below are some of the things that you need to consider if you want to become a good DJ.
Let’s start with some of the obvious staff. For starters, if you want to become a good DJ, we will assume that you have a great interest in music and that you love playing music for others as well. This means that you should not just consider your taste in music but the tastes of the people that you are playing the music for as well. If for instance you love EDM music but you are playing music for your friends who like pop music, then it will be a good idea to play more of pop music than EDM music. The great thing about being a DJ is that you can create trends and make people love music that they would not ordinarily listen to and therefore being able to mix and match music and unnoticeably reel them into listening to different music is a skill that you should have. This will certainly be the case whether you are playing the music for your friends or if you are playing at a gig at a nightclub. Additionally, if you want to be able to entertain your guests and allow them to have a great time it is essential to have good equipment that can allow them to appreciate the music. If you live in Melbourne, go and have a look at some equipment at DJ city in Melbourne.
Of course if you get great equipment and the more sophisticated the equipment that you get, the more you will be able to lend your services for hire. If you live in Melbourne for example, you will be able to easily do Melbourne DJ hire and be able to earn an income from your work and fun. Who knows, you may actually become one of the greats and be able to earn a living from your hobby.
