Added on September 22, 2008, 5:14 pmbut if you seriously looking for a DVS .. i suggest rane serato as it's easier to get spare parts / service etc... in m'sia
mixvibes... ZERO support/spareparts etc..

procontavia what kinda house you play most ?

hey hey guys, I'm a little lost as to order a full case for both TTs and mixer, or just 1 TT and 1 mixer

and gotta confirm the real final price Ideaz can offer edy Choong, might be able to get it by the end of Oct.

for me , 2 individual case for 2 turntables... and the mixer, can just put into a bag ... no big deal ..
if u do a coffin case, i don't think a normal car can fit ...

will let him know then the time is nearer

jazz house, electro house, progessive house.
a bit of minimalism

whee another House lover like me

does electro house cover house ? ...

yep electro house is a sub-genre of house

Hardstyle > House > Electro House > Hardstyle

i heard mixvibe is a better option than serato , is that true?

hi there dear DJs~ i've been clubbing for quite some years now, i love rnb and hip hop, but sadly, everytime i went to club, the DJ and their song list just turn me OFF, i hated the lame and old songs played, + the poor mixing, and the fusion of rnb and trance, can't they keep their genres right? and i don't really understand the purpose of playing every songs on high speed... i just hated those ice ice baby, and those YMCA lame @ss songs choice. oh did i say they repeat the songs twice in a night?
this is what happened with some local DJ, thank them for making me worry going to club will end up a big SIEN night for me and my mates...
so 1 night, something struck me, i want to be the one on the deck, i want to show them what kickass, a revolution of hiphop scene...
but, how to start?

yes in house we trust last time i was listening to a lot of steve bug and dj gregory's mixes, very good house dj in my book.. mind sharing whats good nowdays peeps? pls not too much of electro-house, its been overhyped now.. look for this track called slammin' by eric prydz, superb house tune

most rnb club in klang valley...
but the dance music scene is great in msia

---

Added on September 27, 2008, 6:21 pmso what i need to do to get a start on DJing?

This post has been edited by finecut: Sep 27 2008, 06:21 PM

dance scene in malaysia is pretty crap IMHO

u'll need gear to start DJing. Most straightforward setup is mixer+TT/mixer+CDJ and headphones of course. Then you'll need records to play as well

i dont mean dance scene, i mean dance music scene, like techno, trance, raves music, cos always got international dj and rave events

first of all u need to know that DJ-ing is not an cheap hobby
2ndly you need to know what type of DJ you want to be
3rdly, by knowing what dj u want to be, you should start with the basic of DJ-ing .... beat matching , beat counting , mixing ... learn about count the beat, the bars and a whole lot more .......etc
4th , you might want to play around with DJ software first like Virtuall DJ to get yourself familiar with the "hardware" ...
5thly, if u think you are ready to get hands on with real dj gear, kindly ask around or ask some1 in here to help u get your gears according to your budget...

is there any place offers courses on it?

yes and no ...

first of all ....serato is the industry standard just like technics for turntables ...
2ndly it's more supported world wide ...

for mixvibes.. the pro are ... cheapers alternative with free updates from time to time ....
but the support mixvibes product zero ... in m'sia ...

Bukit Bintang there have a few places.

since I started a little cluelessly, I will share my experience and my personal views on getting started...

1st off, I don't think it's savvy to pay thousands of ringgits to a tutor when there is a huge resource on the internet on how to beat-match, scratch, read keys, etc. Just takes a little time to find those articles written by veteran DJs aimed at guiding beginners... I felt cheated when I realized all the material given to me by my tutor was just copied and pasted, then printed and renamed.

But bear in mind I'm not talking all tutors aren't worth the money, so far there is one that I think is worth your money ; as he covers traditional hardware fundamentals all the way to CDJ then digital softwares. But think about this also, by paying a tutor what are u aiming for ? You wanna get the basics down quickly with a guide right? Why not learn on your own 1st? I paid so much to understand that, we pay so that we have a a fixed schedule we have to follow in discipline as a step into this new passion/hobby, and also get access to higher standard equipments that we can't afford at that time.

sheet, type too much ; to illustrate me point, there are ppl who can DJ without even going under tutors ; but probably take longer when compared to those that went under tutors. I learned mixing from a tutor using his CDJ800 & DJM600 for some months, and as a beginner I felt clueless when so much access was given to me ; it's confusing, that's why I went ahead and saved some $ to get my own pair of traditional turntables. From there I then only understood what beauty both holds. But a proper tutor imho will teach u from the oldschool gears, so just find a good one ; or just don't bother.

Whether you wanna pay thousands of ringgits to a tutor and get the benefits of good hardware access, proper guidance into the fundamentals etc. Or you would just use that money invest in a set of nice gear, and get started. I can't emphasize enough how much you can get out from the internet nowadays, tutorials, articles, etc.

and like Choong said, Djing is ironically not a cheap hobby/subject... But anything that deals with music electronically is never cheap. Lastly, if I type too much or somehow offended anyone my apologies... since I don't usually type this much...

Gratz on being an enthusiast

correct , thats pro's and con's of under tutor .... u can find this 2 kind of people here , except carsonoel and me , i think others is self learning

lol! welcome...now i can change custom title

so most of the pepz here are DJing as a hobby or career?

hobby....

be great if it can become a side-option though, like spinning in events on and off. Like Vince, so awesome.

its a hobby , its a career !! ....

XtOtH3D most clubs in penang are stucked with rnb hiphop and rap
everytime i just start off a lil bit of house surely kena screw kau kau lol
but sometimes it works when there are ppl who knows bout music around
djing is a career for me
i dont know what i can be if im not a dj
slammin by eric prydz awesome
im still trying to get hold on the axwell - feel the vibe 2008 jakob carrison bootleg
anyone can share ?

TT .... this weekend ...... been way too long ....now for a real turntablist / scratching session with carsonoel's turntable.... KEKE

i can dream to play in front of people...but with recent pub/bar visit here ugh i dont think i'll be able to play such crappy music that i dont like the most.

although min requirement to play in local pub/bar is as long as there's sound come out of the speaker, that should be ok. no silence & tracklists is up to you...ada Rihanna & Akon bolehlaa.... boleh hidup u punya pub. chis!!

*in sarawak no apparent venue can be called club, it does not met the min requirement, sound system sucked, dj is meh...different person, same tracklist all night long & for the following month! we only have karaoke lounge & bar*





in the meantime, i'm little disappointed with our only (and the largest) LEPO music centre here in Kuching. just asking whether they have any dj related gear that can be ordered, they say their supplier does not provide that. waduh sedihnya!!

I DLed the pjoo thingie, gotta go back and check it out. Hed Kandi awesome, gonna mix his songs soon... hopefully my 1st 10 min mix can share.

wei wei! not yet, I havent got my procase done yet laaaaaaaa~ Probably can get SSL 1st haha

house is way better then harddance ..... harddance we need to organize event our self like Infekted , Hardsequence , once u failed u need to bare the lost ... think it ..... here some videos of infekted @ night 26th october 2008 , totally awsome night , can see that everyone was sastified compare to the 1st infekted





This post has been edited by XtOtH3D: Sep 29 2008, 01:25 PM

here to organise a house party also not senang
the bosses will say this say that bla bla bla
hard dance i really see you guys struggle eh
but there are a lot of ppl into hard dance also
so shouldnt really be a problem
but in penang its just sad to see them do what they do in a rnb hiphop club

its pretty sad now compared to 5 6 years back

westokan thanks ill look for it

means no turntables at next gathering? *sigh*

can also... but I need time to plan how to carry my tables... and I confirm get SSL from Ideaz edy, gonna email him up now gotta build my list edy and hopefully get good enough to spin some fresh gigs... if not I can never earn enough to get Rane/Pioneer mixers...

bring your turntables .. and i'll bring my rane ..
u get to play with my rane and i'll get to play with your techs

Guys, so when is the next gathering. I look foward to meeting all you you again.
Vincent, thanks for being so hospitable. You are truly a great host.

I am considering being the dj for sunway pyramid iceskating rink, as i got an offer from them. What do you think guys?

how much he offer u ?..... u need to have a price for ur self , except u really dont care how much he pay and just wanna be DJ ... by the way i play in Roller Park , 2 hrs Set for RM350

sure sure! wow, if I can touch the legendary Rane scratch mixer...

wow syok, I study in TOA Sunway, can go meet u when you spinning there

hobby, but like most bedroom djs, i hope i'm good enuf to play in clubs/bar someday..

in malaysia most clubs only play those top40/hiphop/rnb stuffs, abit hard to play live la, since i specialize in psy

i learnt the basics of djing on my own with just TTs/mixer/software 4 yrs back, then moved on learning CDJs...its been a solitary journey really so far, learning everything on my own, largely due to the fact that i dont even know anyone who has the same interest as i do..yea, i mean u really have to be interested to invest a huge chunk in DJing, and due to studies etc etc, i just lost interest and took a 2 yr hiatus off DJing and just recently started again..so yea

also i curious bout those ppl learning under tutor la, is it easier to land gigs cuz of contacts/events by your tutors? cuz usually those tutors are established DJs...and what about organizing your own gigs? anyone here have experience can share?

i tot a lot of clubs play house and trance? oh chicks dig this song = i like the way you move~~~~ everyone would go crazy o.O

carsonoel , where are you from ?

so this weekend ...... gathering will be on? again i'm sure xtothed would like it to be in the night ... i think it will have more feel .....

nope.... only pasarmalam * bar celona * this kinda lala class club will play atm , MOS all playing electro genre

huh where got?

bertuah ler if at least i listen to a complete house at least straight 30 minutes without switching to crappy top 40.....

trance/house is dead...older venues that play those music changed either to restaurant or karaoke (Iban Pub/Dangdut)


















*speaking about my local so called club industry*

Added on September 30, 2008, 10:52 amwe are almost on the same boat, though i mostly played straight uplifting/harder trance d(-.-)b

I'm from East MY, but family moved here cos my bro and me both study here anyhow ; and truth be told, back in hometown trying to even learn DJing is near impossible... all we do there is guitar this guitar that, drum this drum that, bass this bass that... so I end up in a band playing alternative in high school... but true passion is Djing ; glad I came here

my car is damn old school, so driving down to KL is a bit of a concern... break down quite frequently le... bring tables somemore I worry, unless someone can arrange transport I don't mind pay a bit also

owhhh, I havent bodek my ex tutor to let me in to bar celona for free yet, clk!

Kind of interested in dj'ing though in hip hop genre. I read previous post that for starter is better to get Numark Battle Pak v4 isn't? So far how is the price going? Still maintain at 1.5k?

the last I checked was 1.8-1.9k what type of hip hop? just pure mixing or with the old school scratching fundamentals?

you can check out DJ Vajra in youtube then his myspace for his hip hop mixtape ; I recommend his Hydef mixtape, he blends scratching, beat juggling into his hip hop mixtape... if your hip hop is what I think it is, then you'll definitely love the mixtape.

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=750802&hl=numark

not sure if king is still selling it

hey choong, u mind adding me in MSN ? I needa hola up Ideaz for real already this time. Confirmed.

how to add if u dun give me your msn details? anyway i don't have direct contact with ideaz .. lost his number... u contact him directly and tell him Choong sent you ...

make sure you ok with it then only give ma, I understand some people like to keep their msn list clean I'm still waiting for a reply from him, hopefully soon. At first was thinking whether mixer or SSL... SSL made more sense... at least I can start building mixtapes....

woot nice stuff!!! drooling but too bad still need to learn fundamental before getting the real toys

get know the bouncers then u can get in easily

where from east MY are you originally from?
