Another week done at the deejay academy an i just cannot believe the progress im making! I pretty confident at the moment and i know i can do better, the only thing worrying is that i haven't yet mastered the art of scratching. Out tutor deejay touch does it so confidently and precisely, a true aster of his craft but when i tell him to teach us how, he tells us to be patient and perfect what we know first, music blending, so i guess thats what i gonna be doing. He also tells us to go listen to a lot of music so that we can "know" it. . .and it does make sense.
You see, to blend music perfectly, one has to listen to the beat, the flow and the speed. . .something called 'beats per minute'. If all these elements are equal and combined, it makes a good flow of transition from one song to another. A deejay needs to know these things off head, master all speeds of a song so that when one song is playing, he/she automatically plays another song in his head then on the decks. . . . sounds like rocket science doesn't it! Its a lot of work but hey, im in this for the long haul, #TEAMGOHARD!
