And we are celebrating them, *some text missing*

Bros didn't you read the post very well.... The woman thanked the husband's of these pregnant ladies for allowing them travel (even in their condition) to perform their brides maid duties.

haryomikun:
Sure bro. I totally understand the talent and salesmanship thing you stated here.

PS... Am not expecting to make 50-100k on gigs in Lagos. I'll work my way up just like all other DJs do. Am still largely unpopular lol

You, you're still largely unpopular.... Me I never largely UNPOPU talkless of LAR sef..... No one knows me sef

haryomikun:
Amen o boss! Wish I was around lag to help you with the turntable thing for you to practice sha. I know how I almost went crazy thinking up turntables in my mind to scratch. Watching DMC competitions didn't help either

Ma guy, you go see some people's mixing and scraching, you go wan mad gan.

haryomikun:
That will be a good idea bro. I mean learning with DJs and their turntables. Rock Raida, Rob swift and Qbert for their best ideas from DJing 'enclosuees' like that too. If you no sbai those guys mehn, you need watch their videos and read up on them Hip hop DJing legends, masters of scratching and beat juggling

Consequence is also very cool. I listen to his mixtapes and he's dope (with a few commas though)

If he answers you and decides to hook up with you mehn, you don take your first step to blow be that baba

Lol..... I pray everything works out by the grace of God.

haryomikun:
Besides the competition will be good... Will teach one to up one's game

Well said man. The competition would make you up your game and set yourself apart from the rest

If you're in Lagos, depending on where you reside (mainland or island) there are lots of DJs with equipment you could approach in a bid to learn the noble art.

OR

Find a "joint" that has full DJ equipment and intern with the residential DJ there. Don't go to joints that have DJs that use only a laptop with VDJ connected to a two or three channel Numark or American Audio mixer (nothing wrong with the mixers BTW, just that they are not performance or club movers and seeing you want to learn the art, you need to know the tight professional equipment also) connected to an amp. If you do, you'll never become a professional DJ like Jatt, Neptune, Obi or Kentalky.

Hope I have helped in some way.

Chairman.... You have helped. Even @haryomikun too has helped me too.

I'll be back home by the end of this month. Then I'll begin my search for a place with full dj equipments where I can learn.

I love dj consequence a lot and was thinking of messaging him (I have him on Snapchat). There's no harm in trying.

4C2215131:
Make sure you "test" those speakers properly before going live. That's the hazard with renting equipment, you never know what you're getting. Could be a dead amp, blown tweeters, burnt speaker cables etc. Nothing destroys a DJ's rep like a failed gig due to equipment failure.

Always exhaustively test your rented gear before starting out.

Chairman, with the comments you've been posting, I can see you really know about these DJ things (equipments and things).

haryomikun:
oh okay. a friend suggested ipaja to me... said I could get it for 150k... but another person wondered why I'd move from Ogun to lagos and still be close to Ogun again

True sha.... Depending on where you stay, you can still easily access the main parts of Lagos from Ipaja.

4C2215131:
While not trying to start a flame war, I believe that for you to really have the "DJ" experience, you got to learn more than setting up cues in VDJ.

Learn the art. Get your hands on a pioneer or Denon CDJ (if you want to really be a purist and go all the way, get a turntable while you're at it). Learn how to "manually" sync jams, work your pitch, tempo and stuff. No disrespect to the strictly laptop DJs out there (got nothing but love for y'all) but nothing gives you more respect and swag than when you're with your lappy and your controller or DVS Set up. The crowd knows you mean that like Quest, you mean business!

Chairman..... I also wanna get my hands on a controller, turntable or something. But there's no one around me with one. Was even thinking I could link up with @haryomikun buh he doesn't stay in the same state as I do.

haryomikun:
for rent plus agent fees and all, 200k

how Much was your own place and where is it located at?

200k can get you a good self contain in some areas of Lagos.

I stay around ipaja (abesan estate) with my parents.

haryomikun:
or dyu know anywhere that's cheap but allows for easy movement?

What's cheap (depending on your budget)?

haryomikun:
sure thanks. I reside at Ogun

I stay in Lagos.

I think the dj market would be more profitable in Lagos than Ogun.

haryomikun:
Lool. no DJing gigs for me where I am bro... people dont pay around here. if they do, it won't be high. I had to hustle the money for that shii... became a blogger, waited 1 year to make it, then I started saving money to buy the thing sha. person help me contribute 10k sef.

the hustling part is the reason why I haven't made a mixtape in the past one year 4 months. I just wanna be done with the blog hustle late this year and get my start up money for DJing

Don't worry mehn.... Hustle go pay.

And you stay at where?

haryomikun:
lol. the dawg night just have been asking how to place a sound into the sampler box.

na why I ask am to specify

lol.... True sha.

Dj Dipsy

djbombo:
am a Dj am using vdj v.8
my question is please how can i make a sampler for my self?
thank you....

If you're looking to do a sampler for yourself, you'll have to use a music producing software like Fl studio, ableton and the likes to make the sample you want.

lool. solo birthday mixtape was like the first. when I was a beginner sha... and yes people won't take your seriously if you dont have a controller. that's what most ask for... DJ, where's that thing that does 'chi ki chi ki' Abi dont you have it? '

forget jumia and konga prices for controllers. you can get for around 110k aha. Quality one

I ordered a controller about a month ago from amazon. got it for 86k equivalent rate. pioneer DDJ SB2

although shipping fee is like 25k or so. the turntable arrived naija today and will be cleared tomorrow or on Monday. I need to make more and way better mixtapes

And moreso I wanted to ask..... Do you also have like speakers you take with you (in addition to the turntable you just got) when going for gigs?

Guy, you don go oooooo...... 86+25=111k

Did you get this cash from​ personal savings or from doing dj gigs?


And guy that turntable looks nice AF.

haryomikun:
hehe. confirm. controller don cost small sha. be like around 80-130k tho.

besides why the hell do you need a controller to make a mixtape

I've made about 5 official mixtapes with about 25k combined downloads and I didn't have a controller. all was on virtual DJ and I have people that messaged me on whatsapp from nairaland appreciating the various mixtapes

My guy, so me sef I see price for controller and I fear fear oooooo.

Some set of people say you not having a controller doesn't make people take you seriously as a dj.

I also downloaded your Solo birthday mixtape and it was really nice to listen to.

haryomikun:
if you're a newbie, use virtual DJing for now
it's self explanatory

for a pro or at the intermediate level, controllers ans virtual DJing isn't that much different

Continued using virtual dj since the last time I posted the message you commented on and I've gotten really good at it.

Wanna step up to the next level (using controllers) and I also wanna learn how to scratch (you know scratching in virtual dj isn't as nice as on a physical controller).

Planning on doing an hour long mixtape sef just that I won't have any of those scratches.

Your thoughts on this?

Good evening @xfire.
I'll be graduating with a 2.1 in information technology this July (currently putting finishing touches to my final year project).

My issue is I DJ as a hobby and people have been saying i should pursue it as a career since they feel I'm good at it and I've really been considering it . I also love technology and would love to tow the line of ”Management Information Systems" (mixture of business and technology).

I just need your career advice on what to do.

Thanks.

Davido stop deceiving people with your false Range Rover 2017 that you you baked,If I may ask,WHR is your Black Range Rover

He never said he bought a new range Rover you know...... it's his fans that made it look like that.

I hope you people know the car isn't new.....he just changed the colour and maybe some small customising here and there. He already purchased that range Rover in 2015. The colour change and everything was done by KHAZ CUSTOMS.
Thank you.

1. Hacking - definitely there'll be cases of hacking occurring on those vehicles. Watched a video of a brand of "JEEP" SUV being hacked by people. This car wasn't even a driverless car oooooo. They had control over the acceleration, brakes, a/c, doors and so many other things.

2. Problem with law - e be Nigeria we dey nau. Our police officers go arrest you the owner of the car.

3. Limited qualified mechanics - I agree with you on this one. My only opinion is these mechanics should see this as an opportunity. They should try to get the necessary training so that when these vehicles start penetrating the market, they won't be left behind.

4. Confusion - don't really have an explanation for this. This should help sha

5. More confusion - it's in Africa here we have to worry about traffic lights malfunctioning. Except we live in a country that's like playing "WATCHDOGS" in which everything can be hacked.

Anyways, I'm not a fan of touring bikes. I'll go for a power/sports bike anytime any day.

If its not in Lagos, It cant be anywhere else in Nigeria

People in other parts of Nigeria own this type of bike

That's what you get for using a cheap network. I use smile unlimited 19800 non stop data for one month with free 200 mins to make call what more do I need.

Some of these networks arent cheap. Its the data plan you can afford that you'll buy abi?

mradjoy:
Have you tried ipNX?

Worked in a company whose ISP was IPNX.... To tell you the truth, they were whack. They had to switch to SWIFT TALK which i think is a subsidiary of SWIFT networks. For the swift, they were paying around 300k every month for a bandwidth of 4MB/S for a month.
