Cuts and scratches are used to cover up the fact that you can't make a smooth mix without them lol. No lie - I'm sure even steven18 will admit to this. It's like when you listen to these radio DJs try to mix and then during their transitions, they throw in "YOU'RE LISTENING TO 95.5 THE BEAT WITH DJ ROCK ROCK ROCK LIVE IN DA MIX MIX MIX!!" to cover up the shitty transition. And then you have these hip hop...

I'd leave replies involving brands as simply opinion...and one should not take it personally. So if one believes that someone who isn't on Technics 1200s, Pioneer mixer, SSL, and MBP isn't a DJ...just take it as an opinion and not "law". Lord knows I'm big with breaking standards. I use Windows PCs, a Vestax Mixer, and Torq.

I think I stereotype anyone as bad if they dress too much "like" a dj, be it hiphop or edm.

Best of luck fella Is the bar quite on Monday and Wednesday ? If so.. Just an idea, you could always use up one of them days (mon-weds) to set up a open decks night.. that way you get to know more Dj's alike in the area and fill the bar a little. Have about 5-8 play per night, 45min each. That way they bring friends, if each Dj brings 10-15 freinds, it works out ok. Also on the that night you could push the other night you'll be...

While that is true, I think that once most people start listening to more EDM they realize that tiesto is just a brand name, not actually good. And as for not knowing about EDM without Tiesto...
