Dj Zimmie wrote a great article in the online Pittsburgh based publication, Jenesis Magazine, about the top 5 mistakes DJ’s make. Of course, we all know that DJ’s make many more mistakes than that, but Zimmie took the time to narrow the list down to the biggest mistakes he has seen others make. Oh ya, and he’s made them too. And admit it, so have you! We’ve all made these mistakes and now it’s time to learn from them so we can rise above and be better DJ’s.
Dj Skillz recently tried DJing with the Beats by Dre earbuds. We’ve all thought about trying earbuds at one point in our career’s, but if you’re like me, it doesn’t come as an easy decision. You don’t wanna go out and spend money on headphones you won’t use. Well, Skillz has used them in the club twice and tells us about his experience. you might be surprised!
