I want to start to learn to DJ, and was looking at getting something like this just to learn the basics on,

Would it be any good, or is there anything anyone could recommend for less than £150 that would be better, but still good for a complete beginner?

I've got a copy of Ableton already, but would rather use a mixer or something to start with.

Any advice on a entry level mixer, just to learn the basics on?

anyone want to buy some CDJ 800s?

PM'ed

I know this echoes a lot of other posts in this thread and is a bit cliche, but I want to get into dj'ing-as a hobby.

Last night me and a friend ended up DJ'ing the back room of a local rock club on CDJ's and had a lot of fun doing it, went down really well, started with Rock/Metal/Nu Metal to keep the owner happy, then soon took it to 90's Hip Hop, classic rap tracks, punk, sceney-emo shit for the ladies and 30mins of Dubstep which went down great! Obviously, we was just using the cross fader to go from track to track, there was no beat matching or anything like that as we were both 100% novices so the dubstep section flowed quite crudely..but worked for a rock club.

So now I've had a taste, I want to actually learn so I'm thinking of investing in some cheap equipment. What do you recommend that's cheap enough as hobby kit, but will suffice if I end up playing a few house parties?

heres my new mix - its deep techno and tech house

let me know what you think guys. The shit mixes were by my mate but hes was stoned to fuck. tunes are good though

why do you have a deadmau5 logo in your av yet you play deep techno and tech?

Because i like deadmau5 as well and the simple logo. Im playing at air in brum in november in the nitrogen room. Techno and minimal house. I normally play like richie hawtin / magda of stuff. That mix was with my mate though so its half his input. Also like dirty techno at about 132-134.

As for djing in a club, make sure they have good monitors and if they dont always mix with the headphones on. Nothing more to day apart from the fact its a lot louder then normal

Guffer is spot on mate, its all about getting to know people in the scene and building a new social circle. I can't DJ, but I could get a slot at quite a few half decent nights if I told my mates I could!
