Oh word, but a beg. needs it, I know i did and now i memorized most songs BPM from playing them. Its very important I found to KNOW the songs backwards and fowards when playing it!!

how did that go? I didnt know clubs can have a beer pong contest since that promotes drinking....( i know stupid but we tried one night at a bar and thats what we were told)

I will be bringing 2 ladies with me so hopefully i will be tearing it up as well ....Davis always tears that room up its like 2nd nature to him now, well any room now.

Yes last week was my 1st time and everyone loved it, so if you want to come out and have a good time deff go there. Between the 2 rooms there is always something good playing.

I dunno i feel Mariah is getting played out and quick!! She has a new song i belive on the April promo only cd although i dont think it will be that big of a hit

Ahh yes I am where you are a begineer except with a few more months behind my belt..lol I was using gemini crap but i couldnt take the delay..not to mention there was no BPM counter. Although after doing this for a few months and watching pro's you kinda learn techniques to get past this. Make sure it also has a pich increase or decrease but doesnt allow the lyrics to become micky mouse. I picked up the Pioneer CDJ 800, which is great. But remeber dont get to familiar with it becuase when and if u want to DJ in clubs sometimes ya gotta use what they have. But for right now get something with a near instant play, a pitch, and a BPM counter, or at least make sure the mixer has it.

I dunno seems MTV is using it...

This is new: http://www.wired.com/news/digiwood/0,1412,66722,00.html "Researchers at Hewlett-Packard are developing a DJ track-mixing and scratching device they believe to be as significant to music as was the first electric guitar. HP's DJammer is a prototype handheld gadget DJs can use to mimic the sound of scratching vinyl simply by moving the device around. So, if the operator makes a scratching motion in the air, arrays of internal motion sensors translate movement into music, and the DJammer "scratches" the music as though the DJ were manipulating a record. Linked to a digital music library, the device can also mix tracks. It finds the entry and end points for tracks, and can cycle through a song collection. And it is wireless, so a DJ can control the music from anywhere in a room. "The DJammer is the next-generation electric guitar," said Mark Smith, an HP researcher who co-invented the device. "It's the sort of thing where people will be able to become very creative." The DJammer was created by HP research and development scientist Mat Hans, who began the project in 2002 with New York's Scratch DJ Academy, a school for DJs. Hans wanted to develop a device that would let digital DJs mix their music just like vinyl DJs do, so he recruited Gavin O'Connor (aka DJ Gawk1) and came up with a wireless handheld controller that could be networked. "We hooked up with O'Connor, and he showed us how professional DJs interact with turntables and music," said Smith, who also invented the technology behind the optical mouse. "This got us looking at how to match the expectation of the DJ." O'Connor has demonstrated the device twice in public: at last summer's HP-sponsored MTV Video Music Awards and at the CES show in January. O'Connor's setup is based on conventional twin decks for vinyl. The DJammer connects to a third line in on the mixing desk and plugs into a Linux-powered control brick that holds the tunes and drives the mixer. "You are able to control music by air-scratching (and) jumping to different parts of the song ... using sensors built into the device," said the handheld's software designer, April Slayden. Reaction at the MTV event was immediate, Slayden said. "I was approached by big-name DJs from all over the country who wanted one." The DJammer's motion sensitivity relies on a 3-D accelerometer that controls the music when the operator shakes the device. It's based on the same technology used in notebooks to raise the head off a hard drive if it's dropped. Though the DJammer has yet to be made into a product, the team is exploring ways to turn it into a collaborative musical instrument. One possibility is allowing teams of DJammers to mix music collaboratively. To support collaboration, the DJammer has a microphone jack: Plug in a musical instrument and the sound can be streamed to other DJammer users, locally using Wi-Fi or anywhere in the world over the internet. Other users can add other sounds to create a live remixed band -- and the members can play from anywhere. The HP team's focus on simplicity will, they hope, make it an accessible device for many, as the electric guitar has been. "At the same time as matching professional DJs' needs, we also want to be able to have something that will be attractive for an amateur," Slayden said. The team is currently researching how to let the DJammer mix more than one track at a time, including matching tempos from different songs.

thanks bro...

Hey, There was a song back in the 90's and it went: "I'm cool like that, Im fly like that" Anyone know who sang that? I belive thats how it went. Thanks in advance, this one is tricky

Its called Swing 2 Harmony, (not to its 2) so google that with lyrics in front and see what u get

Your off the hook with this shit... I think your my best friend. How do you get these songs so early? Please tell me your secret!!

I know this dont help you but i was looking for the name of the whisper track thanks

if you write them an email they will let u know what it was, I have done that a couple of times already and I got a quick responce.

Nope deff not... Yea its an 80's remix...very drawn out though but good. Roxette - listen to your heart is the original name, this remix i dunno?

Mind u this is at frat parties. Funny thing was the guys said i suck and the girls liked it...lol

Thanks for the great responce, I am actaully watching a DJ on here and how he works with sets granted that crowed is a lot better then what I have to work with but I like how he puts his music out there. I am starting to expand my music collection as you stated but his suggestion also was to drop those "bombs" rendomly durring the night to keep them goign and then at the end last hour drop that top 40 to make them keep going. I wish this corwd liked more then just rap and hip hop. I played born to be alive remix (Disco Kings) hoping they would remmeber that song from way back when but they all looked confused as to what is this. Also a lot of girl like it but guys where i am cant dance for shit besides almost "f##$@" on the dance floor. Its pretty sad if u ask me. But thanks again for the suggestions!!

Actually I listened to all those songs and you guys down there are way diffrent then what we listen to up here

umm... Unfortunately, the link you have clicked is not available. Your transfer cannot be completed. Most likely the file has exceeded its allotted bandwidth or has been removed by the original sender or a recipient.

Damn...lets keep it going, I know there is more hip hop DJ's out there.

download ther 3 i mentioned and see if any of them fit the desciption your looking for.

I did but towards the end of the night when people were leaving, people like that song, just not to dance to.

Yea thats what I started to do, but where I DJ people just like the top 20 songs are so, so at the same time i am trying to expand there lets say horizon.

the more i look at it the more i like

I dunno bout u but i rather listen to him in the Tweeter Center in Camden
