  • Beginners guide to DJ'ing  By : Mark Mortlock
    Things to consider when starting out as a DJ:

    - What type of DJ will you be - Mobile Disco DJ or Club/Bar DJ? If becoming a Mobile DJ you will need a larger cross section of music as you will be catering to the tastes of many mixed audiences. If becoming a Club/Bar DJ you may be able to focus on one specific form of music.

    - Try out on a friends or community centres equipment first to see if you like it before you commit to any large expenditure.

    - Equipment to consider:

    - Record players (decks) or CD mixers. Technics 1200/1210 are the industry standard for record decks and Numark CDN 88’s for CD mixing are also good.

    - A mixer

    - Amplifiers and Speakers

    - Head phones

    - Microphone

    Make sure your first gig goes smoothly by:

    - Making a note of the equipment you will need on the night.
    - Turning up early if you are using the venues equipment to make sure you know how to use it.

  • Classical Music  By : Naxos
    Classical music is probably more familiar than we might at first imagine. Indeed, nowadays it is all around us, whether it be in restaurants, supermarkets, lifts, for advertising or as theme and incidental music on television. A great deal of film music either directly uses or draws from the 'classical' tradition; a good example of the former might be '2001: Space Odyssey', and of the latter, the many scores John Williams has composed in recent years for such blockbusters as the Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogies.
