My First Attempt at DJing

I have always been interested in DJing and mixing, but have never really given it a shot. I know I don’t have a career in it, but who says you can’t have some fun? I’ve been doing quite a bit of reading about “laptop DJing” – The act of DJing with digital music files and a virtual turntable and mixer. I’m using VirtualDJ which is hands down the best program. I have used DiscoXT as well as Traktor Pro and I have to say, I prefer VirtualJ. It’s simplistic while still packed with plenty of features. The automix feature is nice but I prefer to do the crossfading myself!

I’m hosting a party at my house tomorrow night and this is the proposed mix:

Act I

Basshunter – Bass Creator
Armin van Buuren – Unforgivable (feat. Jaren)
Markus Schulz – Perfect (Agnelli and Nelson Remix)
John Dahlback – Hustle Up (Albin Myers Remix)
Tiesto – Bright Morningstar
The Rogue Element – Shuffle and Clap
Tiesto – Fresh Fruit
Deadmau5 – Ghosts ‘n Stuff

Act I

Black Eyed Peas – I Got A Feelin’ (Dynamic Voltz Remix)
Kid Cudi – Day ‘N’ Nite (Crookers Remix)
Flo Rida – Right Round (Benny Benassi Remix)
Black Eyed Peas – Boom Boom Guetta (David Guetta’s Electro Hop Remix)
Katy Perry – Hot N Cold (LMFAO Remix)
Fergie – Glamorous (Scene Kings Remix)
Lady Gaga – Bad Romance (DJSaar Remix)
Sean Kingston – Fire Burning (Dave Aude remix)
Daft Punk – One More Time (House Moguls remix)
