I started doing parties at 15 & these days I'm a year younger than Kingy at 42. Age is irrelevant, experience impresses the young & the old!

Found this at http://www.djkit.co.uk/digital.php Does this mean as Laptop DJ's we're sorted??? ===================== Digital DJ Licence FAQ The following frequently asked questions have been officially answered by PPL Who is PPL? Record companies have various rights in their sound recordings.

I use OtsTurntables Pro, does anyone know if that can be upgraded to OtsDJ? Save me emailing them & looking dumb if it doesn't. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/whistling.gif

Very interesting reading Guyz & Galz, thanks for the opinions & thoughts on this matter. So..... If you were me, would you go to the expense of buying a new set of cd players or just keep on using the laptop & keep the cd's safe at home? Ta!

After many years of DJ-ing with my trusty Cloud decks & toting half a ton of vynal around (700 singles & 300 albums), I was more than happy to start the expensive transition from vynal format to cd format because the new cd's were more user-friendly from a DJ's perspective (not to mention nearly half a ton lighter). I was 21 & The year was 1985...... Now, 21 years later, I find myself in a very similar situation. All my cd's seem just as heavy now, & just as user-unfriendly, as all my vynal did back then. That is, when you compare the cd format to the latest weapon in the

Just wanted to say many thanks for doing the clearest & most concise version of factual copyright laws I have ever had the pleasure to read. I wouldn't mind paying £500 to be 100% legal (I have 100s of original cd's from which I've ripped songs I can use at gigs using my laptop so for me it would be worth it). I also use a fully licenced version of OTS to play my files with & thought because my music was ripped from my own cd's & played on fully licenced software I was 100% legal... we live & learn eh? One day soon, man will catch up with the technology he created (hopefull

The type of competitions I would do are a Limbo Comp for the girls (they love to show off how supple they are & are generally more competitive than the lads), another one for the girls is the 10p & a pint glass comp. Put an empty pint glass in the middle of the floor & place said volunteer at the side of the floor, they then have to hold the 10p between their ass cheeks & drop the 10p in the glass by relaxing their ass cheeks when they think they're on target. Anything you can think of usually does for the boys & the winner of the boys compo gets to sniff the 10p the girl

Would love to help & pick up a few pointers (I did a gig on Sunday for a room full of 10 year olds), unfortunately I live in Belfast so I wouldn't be able to make it in time http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/yucky.gif If you haven't done it before it can be hard knowing how to keep kids occupied for 3 hours knowing how short the attention span of an average 10 year old is.

Party Atmosphere because that's what I provide (rather than a straight disco), still wondering if I should bother using Russ Abbot's "Atmosphere" as a theme tune...

I'll bring the "Party Dances" Album, then they can all do the Birdie Song, The Music Man, The Lambada & The Time Warp. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/flirt.gif

Hi & welcome, I love the 50s rock 'n' roll myself, is it mainstream r 'n' r you're into or do you diversify into rockabilly as well?

Hi & welcome Speedy, I'm a 70s lover myself (love the 80s too), music was sooo much better then. The 80s are being requested a lot lately & the somgs are also being covered a lot by todays artists, seems that every week another couple of the good ole classics are being re-released or re-covered.

Hi & welcome to the den... http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/fear.gif

Hi & welcome to "The Den" (of iniquity...) http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Hi, I can only endorse what has already been said. I use 4 250w effects (2 Facinations & 2 Datamoons) & these have been adequate even for the larger gigs I do, just make sure your lights are concentrated on the dancefloor or ceiling & that way they won't annoy people who are seated.
