you know you're a DJ when...

[ChAbIb]

a couple of things ive noticed what i do are:

when you try and match your indicator to the beat of the music...

fast forward mixes just to hear the transitions...

what do YOU do?:stroke:

[Skerik]

my old car had a diff whine - i'd try pick songs that would match the key of the diff whine @ 100 km/h

[madrtr]

you flash your high beams to the beat of the music,

[gamblore]

You emulate a scratch using your steering wheel.

You tap your brakes in time to the music so the person behind you knows what tempo the music is your listening to.

You tweak the bass knob on your car stereo to cut the bass then smash it back on to add excitement to a track.

[skunky]

you know your a dj when you dont start gay threads about being a dj.

also i heard if you buy your car off beatport the indicators will sync automatically.

[littlebrains69]

I just touch myself......... alot

[trenthalliday]

you get pissed off walking around shopping centres because you can hear the songs from different stores and all of them are out of sync
I end up in a quivering mess on the floor crying because it annoys me so much.....


You are VERY VERY pale


Your bank statment reads something like this:
Beatport $70
O/Seas currency conversion $4
Trackitdown.net $50
O/Seas currency conversion $4
ATM withdraw St.George Kings cross $250
Beatport $70

etc etc

That and you have sex with loads of hot chicks and you have a massive cock and you are super cool and you know everything about dance music and you can pick cheese a mile away and did I mention you are SUPER SUPER COOL and you have loads and loads of friends.......i musn't be a dj yet.....

[DJ_Tingles]

funnily enough that really does piss me off when the different tempos of different music dont' align ... i feel like correcting them :)
but that's the OCD showing through :)

[ChemicalJames]

you know your a dj when you dont start gay threads about being a dj.



Was just about to say that :P

only mine would have had more funneh.

You wasted a good opportunity.

[Funkedub]

you know you think you're a DJ when you start thinking about getting on the bill at a festival instead of paying for a ticket :ninja:

[Random_Kiwi]

You're perpetually BROKE!

[ChAbIb]

im just trying to lighten things up around here. thought this would be good way to see what people do..so f*** off

[Portal]

you start freaking out when you hear another DJ's bad mixing.

[ChAbIb]

^^^ so true

[Gruso]

when you try and match your indicator to the beat of the music...:lol: I used to find synchronised blinkers entertaining when I was a kid. I was born to be a DJ. An out of work one anyway.

[Fr3d]

you start freaking out when you hear another DJ's bad mixing.

There are no good mixes. Unless you do them. Otherwise there are passable mixes and TOTALLY SHIT mixes

[blahblahblah]

When you go to a festival and get seriously munted or wasted .. and wake up the next morning and remember every single track that your favourite DJ dropped .. When they dropped it .. how they dropped it and how good the mix transition was ...

[chico_brisbane]

...when you find yourself 'air-tweaking' in sync with the DJ :P

(Pretending to tweak the EQs as if you were mixing yourself)

[gamblore]

:lol: So true! Fucking trainspotters. ;) My ex could not believe it! I couldn't remember our aniversary or anythingat all for that matter, but I always remember the killer tracks of the night.

[Gruso]

^ I know a guy who spent a post-Digweed afterparty munting in a corner, re-living the entire set in his head. Every track, every mix, silently bopping away. Fucking hardcore fan. :lol: :lol:

[voodoo people]

my mate does this:

on my space you put your cursor over the annoying "hello" banner in time you whatever tune you're listening to.

[lenom]

im not a dj... still saving up for a setup but i often feel an urge to scratch on any spinnable surface, like those spinning tables things you find in chinese restraunts and on a bad day, the wide hifi volume knobs

[Funkedub]

once upon a time when i was a guitar nerd and was walking around with tunes in my head my right hand would habitually following the right hand action of what ever was playing ... now that's been replaced with scratchin movements


i try not to do it too much in public spaces so i don't look like a twat ... but sometimes it's just a reflexive thing

[Bumpy]

Finger girls to the beat and make sure they moan on every 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th beat:rock:

[gamblore]

once upon a time when i was a guitar nerd and was walking around with tunes in my head my right hand would habitually following the right hand action of what ever was playing ...

Wanking? :P

[Funkedub]

well yea .. this is a Dj forum ... if you can't admit you enjoy a satisfying wank then you're either lying or in denial

[ezza69]

when the only time u ever go out to clubs is when uve got a gig

nah dude, just means you're gettin older...

[lenom]

...when your disapionted with the eq on car stereos and hifis, you see no reason why ipods shouldnt have vinyl mode and you sometimes have headphones on when theyr not pluged in

[Garthyboy]

^ Not if your car has 31 band eq's per channel :geek:

[jarrardscott]

you know your a dj when your listening to a live set and you can key in to every little detail of what they are doing.

you know your a producer when your listening to a track and you completely break it down and listen to every single noise seperately as well as the track as a whole.

shit habit of mine, :lol:

it doesnt matter how many bands there are if each freq only goes down to like -6db.

[bengalaas]

...you can beatmatch

[Dr Fegg]

Last night I shaved someone's wife... does that make me a DJ?
:P
Sorry I'm in a mad Friday afternoon mood ;)

[madrtr]

^^^
no it makes you a milf hunter

[rancho]

coz djs are notorious for shaving people and all....

[Spitchen]

When you're in the booth racking up on a girls arse whilst her twin sister is playing your skin flute. :rock:


True story.

[Dr Fegg]

S'true... as the song goes "last night a DJ shaved my wife..."

just 4 the ppl that didn't get it :)

But I could be a milf hunter too... :)

[ticketsplease]

my old car had a diff whine - i'd try pick songs that would match the key of the diff whine @ 100 km/h
thats hilarious.


always syncing car blinkers with other blinkers.

[Majestyk]

You have a permanent black ring stained over one ear from your headphones. You can listen to two things at once (handy in social situations). You never have any money. You're going deaf at 21. You have a slight pot belly etc etc.

[Bumpy]

always syncing car blinkers with other blinkers.


I did that before I started Dj'ing lol

[bengalaas]

you do cuts in your winamp/wmp/itunes player using the volume slider

[Bumpy]

^^ BAHAHA

You match jude mays avatar to the beat of the song

[lenom]

your neck and ears feel funny if your not wearing headphones or have some around your neck...

[Fr3d]

Whever you walk into a club or party, you feel a sense of total superiority over everyone else.

[Funkedub]

you don't understand why you should pay/supply alcohol if you're mixing tunes for other people

[Matty_neal]

when you hear effects in songs on the radio and say to yourself 'hey, thats effect number 48 on my kaoss pad' and wonder why you haven't used your talent to release a number one smash hit.

[vietnow]

you constantly blag the local radio station for not playing 'good music' then get ll pissed off when they play something that only you and all your other dj mates have been listening to for the last 2 months.

[Lukey]

haha this is funnny


you cant walk into any record stores because you have a substantial amount of tunes on hold in each

(guess that aint so common any more)

[swboy]

you wanna dance but remember that djs are too cool to dance...anyway theres gotta be some chic around here that wants to fuck you...hell dont they all???

[trenthalliday]

you wanna dance but remember that djs are too cool to dance...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

you can dance for a second, but then you have to stand still while they are mixing in the next track and tell everyone around you how crap the mixing was and how you would of done it in a heaps better way

I had this the other night:
When your at a club all of your mates expect you to know the name of every song being played, I do love it though when a song comes on that you are pretty confident that maybe 3 other people in there know it...kinda makes you feel a little special....!

you know its called beat matching. why are on this website??? think before you say something dumb :stroke:

[ChAbIb]

hahaha definitely! i did this just the other night actually at a friends party!
the DJ was using Traktor, DJM 800 and CDJ 200's... it looked funny cuz the decks are so much smaller than the mixer :lol:

and he was fuckin shit and i coulda done way better than him....... of course.

[The_Architect]

you type to the beat

and the statement about the headlights to highbeams, i do that all the time, and im constantly using the mute button on my keyboard for (i think the lingo is a "cut"?).

I dont know if anyone else does this one, but when im listening to tunes on the comp i tend to 'flick' the volume knob to the beat.. haha

[DJ-Transonic]

^
I have my computer line out connected to my mixer and I cant help myself and just have to play with the effects, then when I get bored I put serato on autoplay and do the same thing 8-)

[DJ-Transonic]

oh and you know when your a mobile dj when you have more music that you hate in itunes than you actualy like :rainman:

[SlicyDicer]

Probably been said, but you can't afford to buy school stuff / food because you have so many tunes in your crate that you just need to buy.

[pEAkeR_hAT]

-You know most tracks, the labels they came out on, which month they came out in.
-you get constant sms's asking whether to go to gigs or not,

regardless you will end up there anyway once you realise that you hate top40 clubs and the people who froth over lady gaga at 2am .

[Justin_m23]

When you include a specific taste of edm in your list of qualities for your "ideal girl".

[4therecord]

haha i always fast forward tracks to hear the transition!

[aliasneo]

When you go out clubbing and instead of having a good time with your friend's your too busy listening to the transitions the dj is making and you pretty much know every song that is coming up next because your hearing the bassline come into play :P

[Justin_m23]

Yeah when I'm drunk I have tendency to tell the person next to me what the next track is going to be. I'm not sure if anyone has ever cared, but I feel good knowing it.

[jakeWilliams]

[lots_of_lobsters]

^^ I do this alllll the time haha

Pretty much all I do at the computer is flick the volume up or down a notch every beat so that mac volume click noise is in time with it :thumb:

[clasek]

I know the feeling! Im like "I found this before you"

That and also hearing a song on beatport that you know is gonna be huge and buying it, then when it does become popular you begin to hate it lol

[djaudiophile]

you get the bouncer to ask 2 girls that were getting it on on the dancefloor and tell them to come up in the booth, sit down in the couch behind and get it on with em for the next hour while the next DJ takes over the decks

also

you dont like prog ;D

I find 120kmh gets close to 120BPM

[Funkedub]

When i load tracks on the walkman and i'm errr... walking, i notice tracks hacving a tempo from about 90-115 BPM ... essentially slow to fast walking speed ... and i take note

One day i'll do a "walking mix"

[johnjay]

you get pissed off walking around shopping centres because you can hear the songs from different stores and all of them are out of sync

you realise that you anaylise music too much and judge other djs too harshly, then you realise you don't love clubbing as much as you used too, then you learn to unlearn, and once again here the music without judgement, and love it for what it is.

john course??

[JDeli]

When you have your music pumping in the car windows open, you see a cop coming towards you but you dont turn your music down because you know the exact moment the cop gets close enough to hear anythning there will be a pause in the music.

Goes both ways, going holy shit this songs about to drop in that cops face.

[DastardlyD]

When you are munching a girls carpet and you cant help but flick your tongue to the beat.

I find varying from straight four four to half time, quarter time then up to double time always makes for an enjoyable experience for those involved.

you know your a dj when you're out at a club and you pick the next song the dj is dropping way before anyone else, then yell it out loud to watch all the chicks go OHH YOUR SOO AMAZING HOW DID YOU KNOW!

[Jimma]

A few have been mentioned already, but...

...when you turn your air con dial off in the car like your switching off the bass.

...when you can pick what songs coming next in a club 2 minutes before it comes in, and you tell everyone, and then ask for high fives after youve guessed it correctly.

...pretending anything is the cue/play button (ie. i use the volume keys on the keyboards at work)

...when you realise you don't just go 'out' anymore, it's always to see someone play.

...when your out and have conversations with a mate similar to "such and such song would go in so great after this bar" etc.

...when you go out to a club and have no issue sitting down for 3 hours with another mate just to listen to the tunes.

...when you have an incredibly sore back =(

[Matty_neal]

When you're on your computer listening to new tunes you've just downloaded and your house mate walks past and sees you bouncing around as if you're mixing, only to be sitting on a computer chair in front of a keyboard instead of a mixer. :lol:

- when you realise that slowly, the only people who you hang around all mix
-when pre-drinks at someone's house involves bringing a crate of beer, and a crate of tunes
- when your driving your car, and you start mixing the track live by fucking with the EQ's

When you're jumping on this thread to post that you're mixing Theo Parrish -Friendly Children (Sound Signature) and D5 - Sides of Space (Delsin) despite 10 beers and being baked in the dungeon of 1200ness.

[jakeWilliams]

when you know the acoustics in the dungeon of 1200ness wont work with the next track you want to mix

Does anyone else find that they've developed a weird/awesome ability to remember the vast majority of songs they heard the night before, no matter how sloshed they became? :?

not really, i can only remember a couple for some reason, the rest i forget!

[Edstacee]

where is the "I should be DJing right now thread??"

[Jimma]

It's too late.

[watsakerring]

Are you on crack?

:lol:

nah, not at work ATM so my normal bedtime has been pushed back a few hours.

Back to normality on monday though :(

[watsakerring]

... I did go out tonight though, that's why I'm a bit later :lol:

[Laszlok]

you know you're a DJ when...

Wombats come up and request track 6 or was it 7 of Ministry, give them a blank look and they proceed to try and sing it for the next 10 minutes, "you know it, come on YOU KNOW IT!" (in between singing) till somebody recognizes the squawking and realizes that its a track from last year and 3 CDs ago!!!!!

[jakeWilliams]

that hardly made any sense to me

[blky]

that hardly made any sense to me

i concur

[E-Hunt]

when you want to hit anyone who dares mention the name of that track that's constantly being played on the radio. ie those kids asking for sexy bitch

[DJ-Transonic]

^ +1

[E-Hunt]

oh, and when you understand that that slider you see is a pitch control, not a volume slider to be moved by people not knowing what it is!

[macc4]

nah, a standard audiophile would know that, as well as electronics salesman and most baby boomers

[DJ-Transonic]

^ you still get fuckheads tryna touch it :@

[deejaydee]

Had a dude press pause once when I wasn't watching... Turned around sharply from CD's, pressed play, and gave the evil eye - he walked away.

[E-Hunt]

When a hiphop dj/group you really like drops a top 40 electro house tune and you loose all respect for them and leave.
