Will you be using VDJ for a hobby or actually to DJ with to paying customers? If it is a hobby, then understandable that you'd think it's expensive, however if it's to actually DJ for paying customers, then £220 is peanuts. I own the Denon HD2500 and am thinking of either getting a Pioneer MEP7000 or another HD2500 for backup - either of which will cost me more than £220 (more than double in the form of the Pioneer) but I use it week in, week out so over the course of 3 years, it pays for itself constantly......

My active speakers weighed 29kg and were excellent. But, as I'm not getting any younger, I sold them after 5years and bought some new 12" EVs. 1000 watts and only 16kg each.

Strangely, I always play a fast track once the required number of slow dances has been completed, and it is generally always Phil Collins and You Cant Hurry Love. Rarely fails as is instantly recogniseable, fast and "beaty" at 196ish.

Welcome! I worked in Ibiza for 5 years... Am always asked back whenever I visit on holiday, but did have too much of a good thing.......

I own the Maxx 6as and I love em.. Mine are 900watts and 29kgs, but are about 5 years old.... Well worth the money in my opinion as a great speaker system that has never let me down..

Mine went well, even though there were very few in attendance (most put off by the weather). So I have 35-40 people, but they had a good time and the landlady was happy so thats the main thing!

Hello from the NR3 area!

For Waltzes - of proper tempo, try Victor Sylvestrie - There are others, like the Strictly Come Dancing CD which has more well known tracks that can be used for these types of dancing but some die harders don't like em. Also, watch Strictly on Catch Up and write down which songs they use... Sometimes helps out of sticky stuff!!

I too use tunechecker, and when Tunetribe have it, download it from there. Quality is fine and, unlike stupid amazon, the files are not variable bit rate.

I'll swap you my FBT Maxx 6a's, 900watt powered - for your Bose!

Make sure you have the Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen and Anarchy In The UK, both Punk Classic must plays!

Thanks for the suggestions! I may paint what I have, but I think I may go for the Behringers.. I have an older Behringer and it's quite good. If demands strips out for White then I will repaint my FBTs and get a couple of SRM450s in black for the black setup... Thanks again!

As some already do, I am thinking of getting a White S&H booth and making a white setup. But does anyone know of white speakers? Proper speakers, not monitors?

I got a pair of FBT Maxx 6a speakers secondhand, costing £900. 900watts and only 29kgs. Only speakers I ever take to all my gigs....

Anyone know the best place to buy something like this? Just realised I need it for Saturday so any recommendations? Theres a guy on eBay, but I want to know it'll definately get here. Thankin you!

I've used DFB before - Although it was around 4 years - and they were very good

So, what would you play after Pencil Full Of Lead to keep the party going?

I got Horse It Into Ya and it did go down well. The whole function went quite well, even though it was on a Monday.. But many thanks for the advice!

Friday - Wedding Saturday - Wedding Sunday - BBQ with friends Monday - Wedding Busy one!!

Now, as my wife is from Dublin, I am normally quite good if required to do an Irish set. But I have guests coming from Northern Ireland to the function I have next week and I just wondered if I should look out for something, or if there is a party classic must play?

Many thanks for the responses. It was kinda what I expected. Price was one requirement, but I also liked the smaller footprint etc, but I think it's laptop time again. Thanks again for the help!

So, not really wanting (but possibly as a backup) to use a laptop to DJ, but just to play the odd video / pictures from a wedding, would a netbook do it (even if I need to split the signal to two or more screens?) or would it have to be a laptop?

I got the Madonna versions from Tune Tribe for 40p each. Worth having them if you do younger audience gigs

Saturday only this week. A wedding at what was quite a nice venue, but now they've linked it with a bridge over to the local "nightlife hub" which makes it a little more hardwork to load up as you've got all "young 'uns" trudging past! Another night where the B&G have requested a lot more untypical wedding tracks - 90s dance, brit pop, indie and modern dance. More and more of these are happening, with more and more guests enjoying themselves and not asking for the tracks we sometimes often play. Was asked for a card and they all seemed to enjoy it (apart from the "older peop

I use DJ Intelligence on my site built when I do agency work and I use DJ Event Planner on my own site. Both have good and bad points, but to me DJ Event Planner won on the request sections.....
