2009 was definitely the start of the “Digital Revolution.” Music has moved in the electronic direction. Top 40, pop, rock, hiphop, indie, dance, house, you name it! Every genre has taken in and adapted to fusing the electronic sound with its structure.
The guitar has always been the instrument you had to have. From playing lead guitar in a band to serenading ladies with soft acoustic sounds, the guitar has been the “IT” thing to have/play for many years now. Since the digital take over, DJ’ing has replaced the guitar as the new “IT” thing to do. Everyone wants to DJ! Specially since the birth of Serato, it has paved the way for djs everywhere to jump into the scene full speed.
We wanna help you get a head start. Listed below are a few websites that teach you all kinds of techniques, from mixing to scratching, different genre styles and where to get music and how to organize it through Serato.

Finally, I located the information I was looking for. I have been doing research on this subject, and for three days I keep finding web-sites that are supposed to have what I am searching for, only to be discouraged with the lack of what I had to have. I wish I could have located your web-site sooner! I had about 40% of what I was looking for and your website has that, and the rest of what I needed to complete my research. Thank you and I will report back on how it goes!
Thanks for posting this information on your blog! Great Work
