Technology has changed so much since I first started DJing with turntables and vinyl, that it's an almost unrecognisable environment out there today for a new DJ - and I'm only comparing this to 10 years ago! 
Nowadays, the basic skills needed to get anywhere (and I'm talking just to get to your first few gigs, never mind making a part or full-time living out of this game) are very different. In order to stay current and competitive, being able to turn up at your local record store on delivery day and knowing how to beatmatch really won't get you far any more. 

Dear friends, DJANEMAG congratulates you on Happy Valentine's Day!

We wish you true love, tenderness, care and inspiration!

Music’s biggest night may have felt a little less star-studded this year, with some notable absences in Frank Ocean, Kanye West, and Drake, but the 2017 Grammy Awards still brought us the glory of Bruno Mars’ Prince tribute and a pregnant Beyoncé just sitting. But despite Bey bringing down the house with a knockout performance, the night ended up belonging to Adele, whose 25 bested Lemonade in the high-profile categories of Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year.
