Hi everyone I’m a 16 year old vinyl DJ and I have to say I love it so much. I got into it because of my Dad and him having a massive collection of records to start with so why not.
But I was wondering if I was trying to get gigs in any bars or (if I’m lucky) clubs/nightclubs will it be harder if I only DJ vinyl? Also been thinking about getting into DVS for songs that aren’t on vinyl but that also requires turntables.
If anyone could help me out please reply 🙂.

It's not always easy spinning 45s for a younger crowd. I'll start a list of artists that they generally respond to. Feel free to name bands, individual tunes or any other experiences.
ABBA
KC and the Sunshine Band

I’ve added a link to my Discogs wantlist. What should I buy next?

Hi! I was just wondering if anyone knew of any house/techno open deck nights for vinyl djs in the LA area? I have a gig coming up and it's been a while since I played out - looking to get some practice in. Any suggestions greatly appreciated, thanks!
