DJK's First DJ Set!

So I finally tried my hand at DJing in public on Thursday at an Erasmus party! My buddies at www.europesounds.110mb.com were organising a Hip-Hop party at Bar Sahara in Santander and asked if I wanted to try and do a little warm-up set for them. Naturally I jumped at the chance!

In January I bought a Hercules MP3 controller for my laptop which came with some DJing software and have been trying my hand since then. Thursday was the first time I tried in public and although I still have a lot to learn, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Hopefully this summer I can spend a bit more time learning and need to upgrade my kit: currently I'm using Virtual DJ but I think it is fairly recognised that Traktor VinylScratch is top banana. Also I either need a second sound card for my laptop or to get a new MP3 controller with one built in: I didn't realise in January that with the controller I bought, you can't listen to the incoming track on my headphones. Which is kind of the point of DJing. Silly sod that I am.
