Smile female dj back in the forums!

hola! been busy for quite some time, ive been disconnected from the people here

im niquee from manila, philippines.. been spinning for a year already, but been a musician since i was 6.. i started spinning house music, though i got inclined to hip hop more.. i dig any kind of music, as long as its good music.. most of the things i learned i owe to djf, its really awkward to ask someone to teach me personally at first so i always read here besides any book or vid, this is the place to start.. i must say, more power to this forum!

I was studiing sound engineering and a local dj school offered the college a discount, and i had always loved music and partying so thought why not try it. I offically learnt the basics on vinyl in 2003, playing hardstyle. Then moved over to funky about a year later, then got my own turntables in 2006. In 2008 i moved over to CDJs, borrowed my bfs. Then I entered a dj comp at the end of 2008 and forced me to play in front of people. Also meet alot of other DJs and promoters. It was through the comp that i got my first gig in 2009, at a dodgy small club where no one knew who i was and i played for 4 hours coz the next dj didnt pitch.

I am gonna be playing at SAs biggest Day/night party in less than 3 weeks. They normally have between 10 000 to 18 000 ppl at the event between 5 floors. Very stressed but cant wait. Also i am playing with my BF who is an awesome DJ

I play jacking, fidget and electro.

whoa! great! the actual preparation for the gig is much more tidious than the gig itself! hope everything goes well with your big event. great lessons are actually learned during a live set with people there. ive quit instrument playing but decided to keep the passion for music, lol i honestly dint grow. some djs will actually tell you their secrets, but some will just hint for you to learn or not mind at all. others are intimidated with a fellow dj's presence. im kinda learning backwards, turntables are rare here in my area. technics knocked off distribution and moved it to singapore (as what ive heard from veteran djs), so vinyl enthusiast either hook up used or have them shipped. got some cheap cdjs off someone quitting the hobby feb of last year so i started there. but i really wanted to get my hands on turntables so im learning them now too. besides cueing and beatmatching on tables. im working a bit on scratching too.

hows the scene there @ SA?

The scene here is very small, especially in EDM, and run buy a handful of promoters and Managers so if you not all buddy buddy and kiss a** with them you struggle to get gigs. Also there are so many guys trying to make it that they all play for free, so that also harms the rest of us who charge to play.

Also there was a huge fidget/electro movement about 2 years ago and now the promoters and managers all want tech and prog, they dont like how fidget attracted so many younsters...

top 40 clubs are everywhere, but i just cant play that sh1t

And there by you
