There are lots of beginner DJ's out there on the net looking for DJ tips and tricks &
techniques. They are looking information on how to make it as a Dj! In this article we will
talk about some of the DJ tips and tricks a Dj will need to have when performing as an
entertainer to their audience.
1. One tip you need to have down to a "T" is your ability to make people dance at an event in
which you are DJing at. Having a good knowledge of music is the first thing you need to have
as a skill. Some DJ's play at events that require a vast knowledge of music, while some DJ's
play at more niche events like Hip-hop gigs or dance music events etc.. First find your style
of music and go from there...
2. Another tip to understand these days is that being a DJ is all about performance! You as
the DJ are responsible for not only entertaining people with music, but for a whole package!
This includes things like music, lighting & sound, smoke machine etc.. This is what I'm
talking about with having the whole package!
3. There was a time when the DJ's job was to just stand behind the turntables and play music
to an audience in a club or an event. Life was a little dull back then and DJing wasn't so
adventurous! However times have changed indeed! These days a DJ is a lot more of a peoples
person. Modern DJ's are the pin point of the event. So release that popularity has been
brought into the game as a DJ. You need to relate to People and have that personality as you
are the star of the show!!
4. Being a DJ is fun! But it does have its downsides too... What am I talking about here?
Well... DJing is a very unsocial able job in the sense that it restricts you from having fun
at the weekend nights like every Joe Soap does... If the idea of working late at weekend
nights scares you... then perhaps you may want to reconsider the Idea of becoming a DJ. With
that said, I personally don't mind this at all.. In fact, working as a DJ and entertaining a
crowd is one of the best feelings you can ever have and I wouldn't give it up for the world!
5. Besides playing music to an audience and depending on what type of DJ you will be, it is
always good to keep up with trends as music evolves so much. Learning new skills is vital to
maintaining yourself as a DJ. Whether it is learning to mix, scratch, perform music off a
laptop or even downloading music of a PC... develop new skills that will make you a better DJ
and performer.
Well there you have it, I hope that these DJ tips & tricks will help you on your way to
becoming a successful DJ. Following these pointers will certainly lead you in the right
direction!
