It was a day without appointments, so a good day to practice a lot. Last friday I noticed during my third DJ lesson, that I am accustomed to my Pioneer XDJ-R1.  I had to search for the buttons on the DJM-900 Nexus. So today I started comparing the buttons on my XDJ-R1 with the buttons on the DJM-900 Nexus. There are quite a few similarities, only some buttons are in a very different place. That’s kind of getting used to.

You like to stand when you are behind your mixer and decks, so you need a table. You can buy a DJ-booth or table in a DJ-shop, or you can make your own with IKEA parts. In this post I describe my IKEA DJ booth.

DJ Lesson #2

On friday september 12, 2014 I had my second DJ lesson. It was again great. What we did? Well, we started with finding out why my Rekordbox database on my USB sticks did not worked in the CDJ 2000 Nexus. Unfortunately we could not found the problem. Never the less, the music was on the stick (without the database), so the lesson could start!

Playday was a nice opportunity to show my parents and sister the Pro DJ school. And it was also a good opportunity to play some music. Fortunately I had my headphone and USB sticks with me. Thanks for the Playday!

The First DJ Lesson

For weeks I looked forward to this moment! Today I had my first official DJ lesson at the Pioneer Pro DJ school, location Amersfoort. It was awesome! My teacher, DJ Mike Lewis, taught me a lot during my the first lesson. He’s a really great DJ teacher. I have luck to have him!

I’ve had lessons on a big professional Pioneer DJ set (CDJ-2000 Nexus and DJM-900). Wauw! Check the video to see me in action.
