From vinyl to silicon
DJing has come a long way, and it's hard to believe that it was basically the same hardware at the center of such a huge spectrum of musical experimentation, from disco to hip hop. For years, the tech remained the same: two or more records or CDs playing through a mixer and at the controls, an individual looking to make something interesting happen with it all. I remember my first mix like it was yesterday: Two Plastikman tracks that were so similar, they might as well have been the same track. Sure, I'd have been laughed off the dancefloor if I tried to do that in a club, but like a mother who's just given birth to an ugly baby, it was still a magical moment; I had squeezed out a shiny baby mix and I wanted more.
Like most wannabe DJs who weren't selling weed, I had to crawl my way up the equipment ladder the old-fashioned way: university loans. With a limited budget (I could only eat so much ramen), I had to settle for a cheap Numark mixer, one Technics 1200 and a $30 Technics SL-5300 that couldn't keep a beat. Add to that the cost of import techno records every Thursday and you have yourself a winner of a long-term crack addiction with a costly pipe. It was a very expensive creative itch to scratch and the only saving grace was that records look cheap to mothers so mine didn't know that NEU sticker meant $15 for two tracks.
Fortunately the scene is different now. Although I still prefer vinyl, there's no longer a really expensive commitment needed for people who just want to try to mix some music together and have some fun with their music collection. The growth of quality online mp3 distributors like Kompakt and Beatport mean that you don't have to settle for what's available on the iTunes store (DRMed Moby does not a techno section make) in order to get the hottest single of the week. And what's probably the best part: you don't have to shell out for the whole record to get the one track that doesn't suck.
The limited system resources that caused many of the engineering trade-offs made in Mac OS and Windows 9x are ancient history, and with their passing, modern operating systems are all, on a.

I don't ever remember Technics releasing free SL1200s with the word 'DEMO' written on them. I guess the problem was how to get them to implode after a month. Anyway, enough senile DJ talk, let's get testing some DJ software.

A DJing primer
Before we talk about the software, let's make sure you've sorted out the most important part of DJing: your stage name. Like Hotmail addresses without seven numbers attached, original DJ names are getting hard to come by so get on this pronto—my friend told me that my joke DJ name of Socks and Sandals is now used by a guy in NY. Think 'Intergalactic Steve' or something more literal like 'DJ I'm Allergic To Peanuts.' Just keep in mind that it has to look good on the playbill, which is key. It's a little-known secret that nobody actually likes the music Tiësto plays, his name just looks good on the flyers. You heard it here first.
So once you've given it a week or so and have your DJ moniker and a fitting image to match (spandex is always a nice touch), you're ready to read on.
