Lol. Nice. That second one reminds me of when me and a DJ mate went to a newly re-opened pub/club venue for a few drinks one Friday evening, just because he was in the area seeing someone.

We got chatting to the bar manager while they still had the playlist on to see if there was any appetite for a night of jungle and/or garage. He was pretty evasive, stating that they are a 'tech house' venue, and we'd need to cover that off and keep anything else in the context of that sort of vibe.

No more then ten minutes later the first DJ is on and within 20 minutes of playing housey stuff was onto Michael Jackson and the Bee Gees.

Dad DJ with no styluses. Took me a minute to work out what was going on.

Quick duckduckgo later...

MWM Phase: https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/11/16961604/phase-mwm-vinyl-tonearm-turntable-scratch-namm

Yeah that thing has been around for a while and I think its meant to be really solid now. Jazzy Jeff was the ambassador IIRC.

This looks very whizz whizz bang. Basically has that sort of functionality built into the TT, which is also a regular TT: https://youtu.be/cOdor9hA34c

CDJs at Printworks tho

I’m after some advice please.

My girlfriend has just got into mixing using a friends setup and is hooked, she also has ideas of remixes she’d like to make and add into the dj mixes.
The problem is that we’re about to head off cycle touring for the next year or so. I’d love this to be part of her life as we tour.

What would be a great way to do this on the road? Via a laptop or iPad? Any small and light hardware considered.

I might stick this in the music producer thread too.

Wow, that sounds like an envious position to be in!

Is it more to self-teach and practice in the downtime, or is she gonna want to have enough scope for playing out?

At the former end, an iPad with stuff like Koala and BandLab for learning the basics (do post in production thread though as ianal). Then for DJ practice there are apps like djay, which you can use with a Tidal subscription for the actual music and track prep and management: https://www.algoriddim.com/tidal#

I would do more research on this if that’s the way you go. It will depend on what sort of music she is into playing - Tidal may have loads of it available but may not. There are probably other equivalent subscriptions - I’m thinking Beatport and Beatsource - but I’m not fully up on what exists and what works with what. There will be some consideration to make about how they support streaming/downloading of the music and what sort of connection you’ll need available.

While you can dj ‘on screen’, I’d recommend getting a hardware controller like the ddj200, if you can afford the space - https://www.pioneerdj.com/en/product/controller/ddj-200/black/overview/

At the other end of the scale, then Mac Book with Logic (deffo ask in production thread about that!). Will also want to get Pioneer Rekordbox for library management and track prep. Will also be able to play out in most places because they will be on the Pioneer ‘eco system’, so she’ll be able to export playlists to usb and plug and play.

In reality, either set up would let you hook up to any PA system (with varying degree of difficulty) and get a set going, though.

Also worth checking out smaller controllers. Faderfox does some interesting stuff, but the dj stuff seems to be hard to find these days.

Traktor X1 could work in a pinch as well

Thanks guys we’ll look into those suggestions.

@J0nathan initially practicing while we’re stopping but eventually playing out.

After a bit of a hiatus, I'm vaguely thinking about doing some Djing again.
I sold my 1200s a while back (much regrets) and the places I've chatted with don't have decks so I would need my own. I've seen a pair of Citronic PDQs (which seem to be a bit of an upgrade on the more common PD1s?) locally, for cheap. Anyone have any experience with these? I've only ever owned some crap Numark TT1s or Technics, which is what I'm most used to using.
