DJ CTG in da house

So MEJ intro’ed me to this terriffic app called Virtual DJ. It allows you to make a mix from your itunes with a mixer and everything, making you feel all pro and stuff. MEJ made like 20 mixes while I took my time trying to get the actual mixing right on one track right, but then again, MEJ didn’t have to google the principles behind being a DJ, read 20 pages of wikipedia and then apply this new knowledge. MEJ knew it all already (mysterious).

From my limited experience, DJs gotta have a lot of time to just listen to their tracks so they know them really well. That might bore the cr*p out of me, so I won’t be ‘quitting my day blog just yet’. But I will make some running mixes under my new DJ name, DJPROMRUNNER. Yeah. First one is below.

It’s a chilled 38-minute running mix that includes Bloc Party, MGMT, Peter Bjorn & John, No Doubt, Mark Ronson, Whitest Boy Alive, Feist & Noiseboyz. For some reason, there is no sound in my right speaker on the Ronson track. Why? Is it because I didn’t push a knob I should have? Please bear with me while I ‘find my DJ feet’. Thanks.
