I'm trying to venture away from my twin CD players and like the look of Desktop CD players, however I want to start with some good budget ones and see if they agree with me! So far i've found Gemini CDJ02 Numark Axis 4 What are your opinions on these? Any others you may reccommend? Thanks in advance.

Simple, what songs this new year are on your playlist?

Opinions please....

i'm using rhuk_solarflare_ii which so far looks like this www.mattshields.co.uk

just havin a few issues reaquainting myself with css:) changing background colour... just looking for some inspiration of how the layout can be modded using it.

Just recently installed this and am currently modding it for my site. Anyone else use it? What do you think? Any examples of DJ's websites that already use it? Cheers guys

After all the advice I recieved I rung the client up and quoted £350 and £30 per half hour thereafter, the client rung me back within 5 minutes to confirm the booking. Thanks for everyones help!

good advice, sounds about right for what I was thinking, dont usually do gigs on new year, but if the money's right :Thumbup:

Just been contacted by a previous client asking if I could do a gig on new years eve. From about 8pm till 1230am (I can see it going on longer), at a cricket club. How much would you usually charge for such a gig? Would you charge more because its on New Years Eve? Cheers guys,

Only me! http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/042.gif Just wondering what you thought of my new lighting system im hoping to buy: Any suggestions? Criticisms? Recommendations?

The DMX dimmer pack could typically be mounted close to the par cans, and a single power lead run down from the DMX dimmer to a wall socket. A DMX data lead also runs down from the DMX dimmer pack, and runs to the DMX controller. Any suggestions for good DMX Dimmer Packs that have this capability....im working to a budget lol, if that helps...i want something that will basically do the job. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/tha

thanks a lot, that makes everything a whole lot clearer...http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/thumbup.gif one other thing....how do IEC socketed lights and par cans work with DMX? is there something in the middle like another piece of hardware that the IEC cables plug into? then into the DMX controller? thanks once again

Could someone please explain DMX's to me, like from the basics, all i can find is technical explanations, which are no good to me at the mo..http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/wallbash.gif http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/533.gif stuff i would like to know, are things like: what do the lights plug into, using what leads and connections.... and the different stages of rigging par cans to a desk, etc.. this would be really helpful http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/thanks.gif

Different parts of the country like different types of music apparently! west yorkshire, a school in heckmondwike.... ive done this gig before at xmas and was able to play mcfly and girls aloud, but i dont want to be too repetative and play the same old stuff.... although a bit cant hurt
