One of our Access All Areas students wrote in asking for advice on converting his bedroom DJ set-up into a professional mobile rig. He's already got an AlphaTheta XDJ-AZ controller and monitor speaker, and he's been asked to DJ several 50th birthday parties for about 100 people each. His budget for everything else? £1,000 to £2,000.

In this "Ask Phil" episode, I walk through exactly what I'd buy right now to create a complete, professional mobile DJ set-up that won't break the bank. We cover the DJ table, speakers, lighting, microphones, and all the little extras you'll actually need. This is the first "Ask Phil" we've done in ages, so if you found this helpful, let me know what you need help with next!
