DJ Camp

**squirrelmaster** · 05-26-2012, 12:42 AM

The purpose of DJ Camp is to improve on a set/sets over a 30-day period. There are different ways we can do this, so you guys let me know what you think.

What I propose is we choose a set/genre that we want to improve on.

Here's how it works:
1) Grab enough songs for a 30-minute set.
2) Record a 30-minute set
3) Practice that set for a week.
4) At the end of the week, post a new mix and show your improvement in that set.

We can do a different set for three consecutive weeks.

For the fourth week, we will practice putting all three sets together as you would for a party.

For example:
Week 1: trance
Week 2: disco
Week 3: rap
Week 4: Mix it all up or play one genre after the other with smooth transitions

What do you guys think? Anyone interested?

There is also Scratch Camp, which is a similar concept, but for scratching--for those who are interested.

Sounds real good. I wish i had some 1200's, a mixer and SSL. Gotta put in work on the RMX. I do something similar where i start with the same two songs every time I step up and expand from there
.
Do you know any places in the queens area where you can find some Turntables?

Im in Long Island but pretty much at the Queens/L.I border but i'm from the Woodside, near Flushing/Astoria.

I'd try Craigslist. Well, unless you want brand new decks...I'm near the Jamaica LIRR...I guess you're not to far from me.

Nice. Let's start uploading by Friday or Saturday, June 1st and 2nd. This way, we can begin by Sunday, June 3rd. Cool, Armani?

Yeah cool message me more info about what mix to put genre wise, and everything else. Or you can just reply on here.

You can do whatever you want. One of my sets will be jungle, another is probably gonna be latin, third one probably funk.

Whatever you want to practice with. The point is to motivate us to practice. Getting lazy and not practicing is so easy. If you're practicing by yourself, sometimes a little motivation is helpful. So, that's what this is about. Small goals, one big step.
