I play out a fair bit here in Ireland, maybe three times a month on average…done all the major festivals etc
Got my own radio show too on the regional station I work fulltime for, got about 17,000 people tuned in every Saturday night according to the ratings which I guess is nice of'em, play mostly techno & a bit of housey gear
Recently started uploading my radio shows, could throw up the links here if they'd be of interest to anyone…think I stuck a few mixes up way back ages ago

try not using the same records since you'll make it harder to distinguish between the two?
what type of music are you playing?
the easiest music to mix is probably house or something with else with a 4/4 beat. boom tsh boom tsh boom tsh boom tsh.
remember to find the first kick beat(the boom or thud sound)
match this first kick beat with the first kick beat of another tune.
start counting beats, if you list to a track you find that sequences usually change after 8, 16, 32 and 64 beats. Usually best to drop in the record you are cueing up on one of these beats.
don't give up, once you get the hang of it (and you will) it'll be great!
*if you insist on playing the same record then
-set the pitch +1 on the tune playing through the speakers.
-set the pitch to 0 on the one in the headphones.
now you know that you need to make the record you are cueing up in the headphones faster. now you can start gettin used to using the manual pitch bend to match records.
hope that helps and isn't patronising, I'm not too sure how much you know already but hopefully this helps.
just realised this was from a over months ago. you've probably clocked it or given up already!!

ive been trying to beat match for a few days now & i still cant do it 
there must be an easier way to learn lol …ive been using 2 indenticle songs playing them on each cdj i also remove the left audio cable from one the cdj and also remove the right audio from the other cdj so i can hear both songs on each speaker ..i change the bpm on one of the songs obviously this changes the speed so i then try to beat match which i can do but it dont last long and when i try to find it again its all over the place lol so is there any other methods i could try ?
cheers
play one song through the speakers and one through one headphone (make sure it ain't too loud in the headphones). there must be an easier way to learn lol …ive been using 2 indenticle songs playing them on each cdj i also remove the left audio cable from one the cdj and also remove the right audio from the other cdj so i can hear both songs on each speaker ..i change the bpm on one of the songs obviously this changes the speed so i then try to beat match which i can do but it dont last long and when i try to find it again its all over the place lol so is there any other methods i could try ?cheers

Right, i'm thinking of saving up to get my first set of CDJ's. As i'm only a beginner in my eyes I don't wanna spend loads of money on pioneer 1000s so was thinking of maybe getting some 100s, 200s or 400s. Is ebay the best place to look or has anyone got some decent/cheapish websites that sell second hand stock?
im wanting to record my first mix on my laptop but not sure how i go about setting it up ..firstly is the cable in the pic the right one ?. ive tried to use it already but all i get is a static noise so i dunno if its the wrong cable or ive set it up wrong ? i did it this way i connected the red & white in the record slots at the back of the mixer then the black connector to my laptop is that right ? … thanks in advance 
I went to meet Deadmau5 on saturday at HTFR in brum. It was fucking amazing. Only 80odd people turned up and he played a 2 hour set, brought his hat and everything. Proper geek though has no fasion sense whatsoever. DJing was amazing though. Makes me laugh how all these djs use comlpetely diff set ups. He was using a mac with ableton, with a khaos (i think) synthesiser, pioneers efx 1000 and an allen heath xone 400 i think it was or 40. Really good to watch, just a shame he doesnt use the conventional 1000mk3's. He didnt use a pair of headphones once.
On a side not as im poor ive just purchased the vestax cdx05's to go withmy djm300. Anyone selling any 800 or 1000's?
Cheers
SID! (btw 14th November starting my own night with a friend - ERRATIC, electro, trance/techno) should be amazing!
