Book Reviews of How to DJ Right: The Art and Science of Playing Records

Book Review: Love this book
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is essential for every modern Dj. I recently purchased it, and have enjoyed every page. It breaks down history, set-up, equipment, beat-matching, while keeping you entertained, engrossed, and inspired. The exercises it outlines are easy, and start to instill good behavior for performing down the road. One last thing just gotta say this book is so good i've had guys been performing for 10-30 years who are awaiting me to finish, just so that they may borrow it.

Summary of How to DJ Right: The Art and Science of Playing Records

DJs have gone from being underpaid live jukeboxes to becoming premier entertainers, producers, businessmen, and musicians capable of commanding admiration from thousands and earning serious money. Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton's Last Night a DJ Saved My Life was the definitive history of the DJ. Now they gather their mastery of the artistic and technical aspects of being a DJ into a clear, accessible, and entertaining guide. How to DJ is the perfect guide -- from the most basic keys to establishing a music collection and a distinctive sound, to elementary record-spinning, to the complex skills of scratching, hot-mixing, and beat-juggling, as well as the inimitable art of creating an evening of sound that is perfectly timed, balanced, and unforgettable. Diagrams throughout illustrate phrases, beat timing, and song structure with no reliance on music theory, and resource lists recommend everything from which songs are best (and most fun) to learn with, to good sources for building a library of disks, CDs, and MP3s. For those who want to turn pro, the authors give sage advice on the vagaries of the club and music business. Short quotes, anecdotes, and photos of famous DJs such as Grandmaster Flash and Derrick Carter are featured.
