Hey all,
I haven't been out to an Event in a couple of months, was wondering what the word was for Techno events this Friday, I see a lot of Events on RA for a lot of hardstyle/hardcore techno events, but was wondering if any venues or collectives are hosting any classic techno/peak-time/driving techno events this Friday/today.
Cheers. 🍺
Happy Friday everyone!

So I've been DJing for about 4 months now, and have been the learning the essentials, learning how to beatmatch and smoothen out my transitions between tracks and have put out a few different techno mixes that I'm pretty happy with. However, I regretfully started with the Numark Party Mix II and now find its lack of dedicated buttons, no knob for the Mids, small number of pads, and the loud snapping/clicking of the pads when pressed to be quite frustrating when mixing. I want to upgrade to something that feels more robust and fleshed out and that doesn't look like a Playskool toy for kids. The FLX-4 seems good but still pretty small. Would anyone recommend a set-up/controller for someone looking to hopefully start looking for gigs in the next few months? I've mostly just been putting my controller next to my laptop on my computer desk, so I'm a little limited for space. However I'm wondering if there's like a table set up or something I can pair with a bigger controller or set-up that will work well for someone in a small apartment.

Thanks,
Hey folks,
So I've been working in T1/T2 Help Desk/SaaS Technical Product Support for two different companies over the last 2 years coming in from about 8 years of Customer Support/Online Player Support work. My current company was purchased by a larger software company back in March. They decided to lay off my manager myself and another one of my team members a couple of weeks after the purchase of the company (they're kind of phasing me out, I have a job until August, I guess they want my productivity until then lol..) and have already brought in 3 outsourced replacements from the Philippines so that they only have to pay them a couple of dollars per hour.
I don't know if I should try to look for more certifications or to pivot into a different section of I.T. I'm pretty well versed in Front end web Deb, HTML, CSS, SQL and some rudimentary JavaScript but I can't seem to land a T1/T2 job anywhere else. Does anyone have any recommendations for a particular niche within the IT industry? I only have my Google I.T support certificate which everyone tells me is essentially nothing, and my high school diploma. I was thinking of trying to pick up something like junior Data Analyst, or Quality Tester in QA, but nobody seems to be biting. I just feel so lost on what to do next.
