If youve been away from DJing for a while, the music side of things has changed beyond all recognition: gone are the record boxes, the record shops, the CD wallets and the burned discs. Now its digital files, online stores, streaming services and metadata. Its enough to put anyone off before theyve even started.
So in this video we strip it all back and make it simple. The goal isnt a 10TB archive of every tune youve ever loved, its your first virtual record crate: around 60 songs, an hour or so of music, enough to get you mixing again.
I walk you through seven golden rules for building that collection mindfully, from buying songs rather than albums to sorting your metadata and backing everything up properly.
Then I answer the questions we get asked most at the school, including where to actually buy music today, whether you need any extra software, and why streaming services arent the shortcut they look like.
