About Richard
Hi,
I have been working as a DJ for over 8 years including venues on Sydney's Oxford St (Arq, Stonewall, Oxford Hotel, Flinders Hotel, Midnight Shift / Universal, Phoenix Bar / Exchange Hotel, Ivy Bar, etc - including a residency at Up Dayclub / Rise And Shine) as well as several international dance parties.
Have you ever dreamed of DJing in front of a large crowd and what that would feel like?
The answer is, that although it can be daunting and nerve-wracking getting up on stage, especially if it's your first time, you will quickly find that it's also one of the most rewarding and exhilarating feelings you will ever get.
Trust me - I know, as I've had to go through exactly those same feelings.
When I started out, there was no SYNC button on the CDJ, you had to beat match yourself.
It sounds difficult, but I can show you the shortcuts that I used to help make even a complete novice at beat matching, pick up the basics in only a couple of hours.
I have my own set of industry standard DJ equipment (2 x Pioneer CDJ-2000 Nexus and the DJM-900 Nexus mixer), which are used throughout the majority of night clubs around the world.
Learning on standard equipment, without the pressure of a big crowd, will give you a huge step up in your DJ career.
Most DJs typically DJ using USBs. And this whole process is now simplified with the use of Pioneer's Rekordbox which allows you to prepare all your music before an event, using your laptop or PC/Mac, and then export it to your USB, ready to plug into a CDJ.
I'll also show you how you can DJ with your laptop and connect it up to control the CDJs using the latest version of Traktor Pro 3
I'll show you how it all fits together, and get you up and DJing in no time.
All you need to do is decide whether you want to learn at home or come to me.
I can cater for you either way. And if you bring a few tracks on USB, I can show you how to get the most out of your music to produce a killer set

9) Give you the basics on how to create your own mashups
