(More customer reviews)If you are looking for something to read for the sake of reading, try to find this book used and give it a go, it is a short read and has a few laughs. Do not buy this as a guide on how to start dj-ing at a technical level. All you need to here is: practice, practice, practice, and that is all this book will tell you. Other than that it is a bunch of DJs talking about how they got started, their horror stories and their funny stories. The writing style is quite annoying and some of the DJs just rattle off nonesense with zero value added. A good example of this is a guy (can't recall name) saying how you should start a label and produce music if you want to make it as a DJ. In the next sentance he said he used to have a label and that it was a huge disaster and wouldn't do it again. Hello? Don't waste your time on this.

Piper Terrett is a financial journalist by day and a trainee DJ by night. The only problem is, that as a self-confessed technophobe, she can't work out how to switch on her Technics decks let alone mix. Grappling with these handicaps, Piper stumbles her way chapter by chapter through the basics of becoming a DJ. A selection of UK DJs, including Ali B and Cosmo are on hand to give tuition. Advice is given on shopping for record decks, mixing and scratching techniques, where the professionals buy their records, putting together a set and playing at a venue for the first time. As they guide Piper through the basics, the professionals also share the secrets of the trials and tribulations of turning professional. Fellow learner DJs may find that Piper's bungling experiences may strike a familiar chord, although they may not admit it to their peers.
