Over the past year or so Ive seen many a person sign up on RA with a member name starting with 'DJ' and then a name.

This obsession confuses me as the DJ bit doesnt make you a DJ. People like;

MR S
Odyssey
Devious
Banshee
Quantum
Kello Yello
Hex
Torque
and on and on,

are examples of DJ's who actualy play but dont have the letters 'DJ' infront of them.

should I call myself 'Gynaecologist Pratt'. Hey got no experience but ill take a look

Have fun guys

Perhaps some of these people aspire to become DJ's?

Or maybe....

they want us all to think they ARE DJ's... coz you can get away with that in a small place like Adelaide

If you have booked an International dj you should let punters know where they are from or would you prefer for example CARL COX (ELIZABETH WEST)

my point is most people know who the d.j is yet the promoter still puts it on there cause it makes it sound more important. everyone knows who these d.js are
ultra sonic
andy farley
karim
neophyte
scott brown
tiesto .
yet the promoters still put in on the flyer like its some big deal its a load of crap! if it was that important they would do it for everyone eh?

Most people know where they are from, but not all.
Usually the internationals are the main acts, hence why you do a little wright on them and the country where they are from.

As mentioned in your thread by a few people Jimbo, there are dj's around the world who have the same dj name. To bill it as no country when it is a guest (who is important) would be a stupid move on behalf of the promoter!

If you know 2 girls by the name of Bec do you just say to your mates 'hey bec rang last night' or do you seperate the two with some sort of terminology so that people know which one your refering to. Take that chicken cannon man

Now wheres all those 'DJ's out there hahahaha

DJ BenPosted: 24 Jan 2006, 4:35amrecovered

I used the DJ in front of my name so that people didn't call me on fliers as my full name.

For security reasons i've never wanted to be billed as my full name. Playing the majority of the gigs i do, i never really wanted must of an alias dj name like Fridgemagnet or Yellowpantswhiskey. Ben is alot more personal and everyone would know what to refer me as. Somehow in the last few years i've also adopted the name Bentazm by quite a few

~:Betty:~Posted: 24 Jan 2006, 4:39amrecovered

Yeah thats more than fair.

But its kinda surprising how many people have used the prefix 'DJ' even tho many many many of them aren't actually DJ's (well not that we know of anyway)

Ahhh but this is what im getting at. Ben you were a person before a dj correct? and then you earnt your stripes and did your apprenticeship. So therefore have earnt the option for a user name of 'DJ Ben' or 'Ben'.

You wouldnt sign up saying DMC DJ Ben would you? and if you did why would you do it?

I wouldnt sign up as Horticulturist Pratty just cos I cut my lawns every now and again!

I notice that a lot of the people on that list have started with 'DJ xxxx' and then have resigned up after a few posts or in some cases none just as 'xxxx'. These people have only played out once or twice back when they first signed up hmmmmmmmmm.

Origin of the term: DJ
The term was first used to describe radio announcers who would introduce and play popular gramophone records, but today there are a number of factors, including the selected music, the intended audience, the performance setting, the preferred medium, and the development of sound manipulation, that have led to different types of deejays.

Radio DJ
Club/Rave DJ
Mobile DJ
Hip Hop DJ
Wedding DJ

You dont have to play in a club to earn the title "DJ", there is no specified qualification requirement, and anyone can practice as a professional DJ without any form of recognised training or qualification.

The title of "Doctor" however, is used by those holding research doctorates, or a professional (usually medical) degree.

There is more to DJ'ing than just beatmatching.

I work as a DJ to make a living 4 nights a week plus another night on the radio so its something that i'm labelled as more nights of the week than not. I think its safe to say play more hours on a weekly basis than most other people on this board and enjoy them all and consider myself a good dj - contrary to the fact of what people's favourite music styles are, 90% of the time, the venues i work for a busy. At the end of the day, its really only a title to be recognised by. Just being Ben on RA could be anyone...dj or not. The DJ just gives ppl the extra chance to recognise me from Mentazm or any of my places of work. All the venues promote me as DJ Ben without my specific request - sometimes my name appears around the place as just 'Ben' and thats fine too. As long as my last name isn't used i'm happy. But its no big deal really.

I started doing semi-regular dj gigs from when i was 16 and have been doing multiple weekly nightclub gigs since mid 1997 so i yes i was a person before a dj but i was 15 and most of the people i now accosiate with in life are people i have met from the club scene over the past 9 years so they've always known me as a dj nothing else

Shit yeah. Spot on.

My jobs that i do generally involve either a small amount or alot MC work as well, and i've done nights in venues where you are required to operate or lighting rig too. I can tell you, one of the nights i do at the moment, beat mixing doesn't even come into play. There are games and comps to run etc etc. Its a whole new ball of entertainment compared to what many are used to as far as a DJ mixing continuosly all night

The DJ just gives ppl the extra chance to recognise me from Mentazm or any of my places of work. All the venues promote me as DJ Ben without my specific request - sometimes my name appears around the place as just 'Ben' and thats fine too. As long as my last name isn't used i'm happy. But its no big deal reallly

I think you may have read me wrong. I was saying you are one so therefore you can do either. If you havent read me wrong then carry on as you were and I have read you wrong hahahah!

My point in this thread is why is there an obsession of late for the general public to suggest that they are a DJ by using that in their board name when they are clearly not one yet.

and is there a doctor in the house?

RA is a marketing tool, from a djs perspective or just promoting urself to meet new people etc - thats how i see it - if people wanto stick dj infront of their name - its up to them, as thats 2000 people reading this site - that all of a sudden have heard of dj such n such..

smart i rekon..

its like the dj octane thing from enchanted - had soooooo many fucking people talking about that weeks after etc...

I guess its just like being in a band.
Just because you pluck a few strings or bang on a drum with a few sticks, doesnt mean your a musician. Its open for interpertation really.
Just because your a guitarist, doesnt mean your good at it. You might think you can play guitar, but everyone else knows that you can't.

DJ = DISC JOCKEY
someone who plays discs. that is all !!!! there are no minimum requirements, or qualifications, just the abilty to play CD's or records one after the other. It aint hard!!!! Its merely a title, if you choose to use it, thats your perogative.
If your shit at it, then you will have to live with getting your name trashed.

U forgot to mention the part where they play nothing else but cheese

that fucks me off the most, I mean so what u can play wat John Course and Mark Dynamix play whoop-di-doo go out discover some bombs and play them in the clubs, eventual punters will slowly loose that Cheese mentality, there is nothin wrong with cheese but hearing same tracks over and over gets boring, I dont call them DJs but CD Changers

, lucky we do have djs out there that dont just play the cheese much respect to you guys

..... I dont know what to call myself as a bedroom dj or not, I have played out at Black Cat twice, Tonic for Echo, I played at St Pauls for Notorious once and on Fresh FM for RAW. but I dont have constant gigs comming through, does that make me a bedroom dj or not?

Music is what feelings sound like - Fredrick B Hahm

Arguing with people about the merits of certain types of music is, IMHO, largely futile. I have seen countless forumers arguing the point that "this style is good" and "that style is shit". From my experience you can't tell someone to like or dislike anything, they just do.

..... I dont know what to call myself as a bedroom dj or not, I have played out at Black Cat twice, Tonic for Echo, I played at St Pauls for Notorious once and on Fresh FM for RAW. but I dont have constant gigs comming through, does that make me a bedroom dj or not?

Yeah I am the same played out about 10 times - Mojo's, Blackcat, Earth, Tonic, Enigma and done the RAW thing too, when people introduce me as a dj to people i laugh and say i can barely mix, just lucky to know the right people, I am still so new and learning so much and i am sure i will be for a long time - I am just thankful that people like Pratty, JoSH, Nottes, Megz/Parallel and ProfessorB have given me the opportunity to play out cause it doesn't matter how good you can play at home in a bedroom or loungeroom it matters how you play out under pressure and how you read a crowd... So that makes me a bedroom DJ who is lucky enough to play out once in a while

It all comes down to this!!!
U as the person, persif on what type of dj u r!! Club, house, party wedding etc!!!!

Just because u have a good CD collection( in your choice of selection)!!!! Dosen't mean that u r a good dj!!!

Music is a big thing thou!! As the offical 1st person to run RAW at fresh an have run other upcoming dj shows on other stations!! I've seen alot of people that have come thru that could not even mix a cake with a blender even if they tried!!!

Had heaps of cd's come in an they are not that bad, but u give them a live performace an then u think what in the fuck have i done!!!!

Just because they got an good enough hour mix 2gether out of hours of trying on a cd!!!!

U have to give every1 a fair go! But people, an i mean Some of these people, walk in with there CD or Vinyl colection thinking that they r so fucking good, that there shit don't stink!!!! Come in an make an absolte fool of themselfs on air in fron of thousnds an i mean thousands of people!!!! In stead of hearind music there hearing a live call of adelaide cup!!!
An it dosen't even come down to just beat mixing!!! It comes down to how u mix it an work the tunes 2gether!!

Im not saying that im the best mixer!!!! I've had my fair share of fuck ups!!! (Last weekend in the middle of my Rise set picking up the wrong needle!Dooh) All adelaide's biggest have had there moments an we mean moments!!!! But a good club dj has consistancy!! Consistainy is the key!!!

Just because u can spin a few tunes an played th odd night out at the local means that u are a DJ!!!!
I've Spinning 4 7 years an im still rated as an up an comer!!!

An don't take it the wrong way went some gives you some critasium on ya work! Its only 4 the good 4 ya! An there only looking out 4 u so u wont make an idiot out of yourself!!!

Some people never learn!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sex who need's it! I like playing by myself with my 12"'s!!!

I LOVE MY TRANCE!!!!
