You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I'd recommend trying out Zulu DJ software. You can try it out for free and it's pretty cheap to buy. You download it on your computer and you can mix songs on the go.

Hope that helps.

This question is a contradiction. There is no way that you could love music and want to listen to, let alone choose and play, recordings of this sort. I strongly advise you to listen to a wide variety of actual music in various genres, such as classical, jazz, folk, and ethnic, and studying music in general before attempting to play music for an audience.

Well I hav listened to all different types of music ever since I was little. Dubstep music is just more of my passion. I still listen to a variety today tho. Really what I need to know is what type of equipment I need to get started or any other pointers.

I do not find your question or your comment credible. My recommendation, if you have really tried listening to all kinds of music, would be to take piano lessons to gain a better appreciation of music from a different perspective.

I do play the piano. I feel like you don't know anything about this kind of music otherwise you would have just answered my question rather than trying to sound like a smart ass and tell me that I'm contradictory.

If you really have listened to many kinds of music and you have learned to play the piano and you still want to be a dj of this sort then there is nothing more to say. Sad but true.

You need to get some DJ gear.

How is your music collection, vinyl, or digital? You'll most likely end up getting Traktor or Ableton with external time coded vinyls or CDs to play with.

Its all digital. I've tried downloading different dj software just to play with to try and get more comfortable with the controls. Im still very much interested in becoming a dj/ possibly music production as well. Thank you for actually taking an interest rather than just being an asshole like albanian. What would u recommend for me to like start learning how to create the music and getting used to the controls just practice or are there schools or anything like that?
