 Great book if your thinking about dj February 12, 2008
This book has everything you would ever need to know about how to dj. I am just starting and almost everything in there has helped me learn everything from quing to picking the best records. buy this book!
Awesome...it's a "must have" for every dj... September 26, 2007
Although I'm a digital dj and laptop performer and this book is more "turntablist" oriented...I found it very interesting, every page you open has something to teach you...
Good pick and this is why..... August 9, 2007
I found the book to be very insightful and easy to understand. I would recommend this book to both the beginner and the advanced Dj.
"Show you how to party right" August 5, 2007
Very funny and informative guide to running the turntables. It takes a lot of work to make things happen in a club. This book takes you step by step through everything from how to find the best gear, to how to add special effects, scratching on beat, and making sure you get paid. There are plenty of pictures. The stories from real DJs such as John Digweed, Grandmaster Flash and more are laugh-out-loud funny. Go from dreaming of greatness to moving the crowd, with clues from the best.
Everything you'll ever need to know and how to love it March 31, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I had DJ'd for years prior to picking this up. Front to back in 2 days. I learned a lot of new technique and cleaned up on some of my old habits. The greatest thing I learned was how to get myself 'in'. I was a bedroom DJ all those years. This book taught me to grab the bull by the horns and show the world what I've got.
That was all great, but the true lesson was not something I learned from the book, but what the book reassured me of and demanded that I maintain.
Love for music.
The consistent undertone was that of a "you are a DJ, you have the duty to show the world this music and take them on a journey through it the way you see best".
If you own a single piece of vinyl or have been collecting for years and stuck in that bedroom, read this. If you've thought about being a DJ and have no vinyl, read this. If you have always wondered what "beat juggling" or "crab scratching" was, read this book.
Peace, Love and Jellybeans!
