U have alot of visual aids on a laptop while djing with a kit is completely different. You have to know ur tracks in and out, know every drop to every takeoff. Dj'ing on a cdj is on the otherhand much easier! Why? Because you got SO hands on control it's amazing... you don't have to use ur mouse to fix anything wich is lovely... and u know that ur cdjs wont fail :) I havent dj'ed for a long time, nor have I devoted alot of time to it but I have produced music for a few years now. I have my first gig 21 nov and I'm rather excited. I've played in my schools bar before wich went ok on the technical aspect but the people there were more into rock etc so the mass werent feeling my set. This time I think it's in a real venue, with a real system and people who are after some real EDM! I would say going from a xponent to a cdj kit will be rather strange.

You'll have enough to worry about on the day itself, and it would be more embarrassing if you used the CDJs and they don't respond the way you want them to in the middle of your set. Good luck, and let me know when you land a big gig! I think you’d want to use the equipment you’re most familiar with at your first club gig.

I'm releasing my demo to club owners around the area and I'm starting to get nervous that I will be laughed at when I bring my laptop and a midi controller to a real club. I have also heard that many clubs have the industry standard pioneer cdjs and pioneer mixer...of which I have no experience on. I never use auto sync though, so I would probably be able to get by on a cdj setup...but I would want to use my xponent...what do you think?

Just some thoughts off the top of my head: 1. bring one of those extension power plugs in case the electric outlets at the club are shady (unlikely) 2. talk to some people to figure out what kind of music they're expecting at the party 3. remember that these club owners are unfamiliar with electronic DJing, so forgive them for the incredulous looks 4. remember 3/4 of the people on the dancefloor don't everything you already know about beat-matching, etc., and they just want to hear the popular tracks (and they're probably too drunk anyway) 5. enjoy yourself!

I have been asked to play a 21st at a well known club and waas hoping that my xponent and macbook would be reliable enough- as i have only used it at one kids party. after reading your account i feel confident that it will be sufficient. Do you have any advice for djing a first gig. Hey great account.

What happened during 2009 March 28, April & May 2nd of whole AWARE saga is a very typical history record in Singapore as a whole nation? Good or bad it is a coin with 2 faces in Singapore Society BUT the goods always shine on EARTH. Shall we have a film composed/shown as the title too?
