Hello everyone!
I followed this forums quite a while now, so that's why I registered. My name is Jonas, I'm 25 years old and I'm from Belgium. I've been a "DJ" since 2003: a friend asked me to join him to a DJ Academy and that's were it all began. I found some old gear on the attic, I went to a local store and bought my first vinyls! My parents let me use the garage of the house, so I installed everything in there, decorated it with neonlights, a strobe, a smoke machine, some normal lights. I hung posters, flyers and broken cd's (backwards) on the walls. In front of the "booth" there was enough space to invite some friends over. There was also a videocamera wich I used to record my "sessions", so I could watch it later on VHS to improve myself. It was pretty awesome actually. A year later (2004) I got an awesome birthdaypresent: a new amplifier, a new mixer and new turntables! Some cheap JB Systems set, but it was better than what I had, lol. Soon after that I bought FL Studio 8 and started to produce my own tracks, wich worked out pretty decent. I even had 1 track played in an actual club! Unfortunately, soon after that -in 2005- my mom died and I fell in a deep hole. Whatever I did, I didn't enjoy it as much as before. So I quitted everything, sold everything and did other things since then. A few months back I needed some Christmas decorations from the attic but I've found something I thought I didn't have anymore: the very first Phonic MR45/AT mixer I had when I started in 2003, and one of those tiny cassettes you could put in a VHS with a recording of one of my sessions. I watched it and left a tear, I downloaded FL Studio again (since it's a lifetime product) and I feel like I enjoy it again. So I'm planning to buy some new gear in the next few weeks/months. And that's some background information about me. :-)
