Thread: DJ Application

Never been a DJ in my life but I love music and I'm interested.
I myself listen to pretty much everything I didn't really like country music but there are a select few of country artists that I don't mind listening to. Onto the genres; rap/hiphop, jazz, reggae/dancehall, pop/bubble gum, rock/alt, kids, gospel, j/k-pop and country are just the beginning of how large my genre extents

Hey, I'm interested in DJing... see below:

• Prior experience For years I had my own club night spinning 60s Mod, Garage rock and Psychedelic grooves to a packed floor.
• Music preferences 60s freakbeat, Mod, Psych, Folk rock, 70s Glam and Bubblegum, 80s metal, Soundtracks and Library Music... to start...
• Available days and times (include your time zone, or CST if you want to make it super convenient for me) Fridays and Saturdays after 8pm EST. Is that 9pm CST? :)
• Why you're interested in being a DJ I have a colossal ego and love playing music for others...
• What unique or interesting qualities you could bring to the station I've got very eclectic tastes, and know how to string together tunes to make a dynamic set. Plus I'm a demon on the mic.

Well I'm just waiting for my new Pioneer controller to arrive, but I would be interested in doing a timeslot :)

Prior experience: None as such, but I've toyed around with a bunch of mixing programs for years

Music Preference: Well I have a rather broad range of music tastes too, but I would prefer to mix trance/progressive trance etc, as I would like to gain more experience in that.

Available times: Wednesdays are my only days off and my timezone is GMT +8, so not sure how that would fit in haha. Basically any time during Wednesdays should be alright

Why you're interested in becoming a DJ?: Like I said above, I've toyed with the idea for sometime, so I decided to take the plunge and buy myself a controller and actually start. Why not get some experience here? :D

What unique or interesting qualities can you bring to the station?: I would always give my best when trying to put together the show, and from what I've read in this thread not many people would have a trance only show :P

Now we're getting somewhere.

I can also say that I will be working hard to get DJs as many perks as possible. ;)

Well I got my Pioneer DDJ-T1 today and I'm practicing hardcore :D

Waffles just had a free leach day... And, I downloaded about 45 Gb of music... Hey, I needed the files to seed back at least to up my ratio since I just joined there a couple of weeks ago.

I would like to apply.

Past Experience:
None, but I can use VirtualDJ, and I can do it well. I have also made some mash-ups.

Why do you want do DJ?
Love DJ'ing and doing sets. I like doing awesome mixes and trying to blend different genres together.

Live sets and interesting mixes as well as some non mainstream trance.

I do not have a mic, but for my shows I will not need one as I will not be speaking over my sets as my shows will be continuous blends of music.
