Labour Day
Labour Day is a special day for workers. It is celebrated in many countries on May 1st. On
this day, people do not go to work. They rest and remember the fight for workers' rights. In
the past, workers worked many hours every day, and they did not get good pay. They
wanted better conditions. Today, many workers enjoy free time, good pay, and safe
workplaces because of those fights.
Some people join parades or meetings. Others spend time with family or friends. Labour Day
is a time to relax and say thank you to workers.

How to Become a DJ: 10 Tips to Start DJing in 2025

The world of DJing has evolved far beyond simply spinning dance records at night clubs. It's now a vibrant global community for independent artists to express themselves, create unique musical experiences, and become the next big name in the electronic scene.

How to become a DJ for beginners

Before diving headfirst into the deep and diverse world of DJing, it's crucial to immerse yourself in various genres of music. Explore everything from electronica to hip-hop, techno, house, and beyond. Your unique musical taste is what's going to set you apart from everyone else and help you craft out your niche as a DJ - not to mention provide that much-needed inspiration to get you started.

‍

How to start DJing in 2025

‍

1. Learn the basics of DJing

Got your eye on the latest speakers or headphones? Hold your horse. It's probably better to get a decent grasp of the fundamentals of DJing before forking out on a fancy new home studio setup. Some key topics you might wanna initially brush up on include:

Beatmatching

This is all about syncing the beats of two (or more) different tracks, ensuring a smooth transition between each song.

Mixing

Mixing is the part where you'll blend these tracks seamlessly - adjusting your volume, EQ, and adding any effects.

Phrasing

Phrasing will help you recognise different song structures and create cohesive mixes.

Scratching & effects

Once you've played about with the other stuff, you can start experimenting with advanced techniques like scratching and applying extra effects. This'll help you boost your live sets.

‍

There are loads of online courses, tutorials, and production schools that offer in-depth training on these all of these topics, so it's worth dedicating some time to practice regularly and fine-tune your skills.

2. Invest in the right equipment

Basics ticked off. Now you need to pick out the right equipment. 

While professional setups can be expensive, there are loads of budget-friendly options for beginners. Consider purchasing a DJ controller, headphones, and a laptop loaded with DJ software. It might be pricey, but quality equipment is essential for honing your skills and creating top-notch mixes.

But this doesn't necessarily mean splashing out on the most expensive options. Northern Irish Producer & DJ, The Cyclist, has these tips for starting out and developing your skills:

“Start experimenting and learning the tools. There are so many free versions of everything to get started. Try searching for ‘free VSTs’ and go from there.”

3. Build your music library

Your DJ career ultimately hinges on the quality of music you play and how well it goes down with your crowd. To cover your own back during potentially tricky sets, you’ll want to build up a diverse and extensive music library. This will include a mix of tracks that resonate with your style and also the preferences of your target audience. 

Explore electronic music platforms like Beatport, buy sample packs from stores like Splice, and consider subscribing to DJ record pools for access to a wide selection of music.

4. Define your sound

Just as bands and solo artists need to nurture their own specific sound, DJs need to carve out their particular style and decide on the sound that they're going to build their career around.

Use other artists you're a fan of as reference and start playing about with certain sounds or samples that you like. This is the start of your journey so be experimental!

“Writing loops/beats/riffs is great fun and a place to start, but you need to finish tracks. Work on arranging these into a full track format - use other tracks as reference and for ideas on improving your production and arrangement.” - The Cyclist

5. Create your brand and identity

As an independent DJ, your brand is everything. Develop a unique name, logo, and visual style that reflects your personality and musical style. Your music branding should be consistent across all your promotional materials, from social media profiles to event flyers.

Once you’ve established your brand, you’ll be able to get a better understanding of your following and lean further into producing the sounds you're becoming associated with.

Take Fred Again.. as an example. His brand of honest and personal social media marketing lead to him selling out global tours as well as headlining Glastonbury and Coachella in 2023. A lot of the hype built up around Fred's came from his branding, a simple '..' - which was used across his merch and discography as well as used to tease appearances online and get more people chatting about him.

A large-scale example, but good branding strategy which you can apply to your own music.

The moon shines down on the land of a remote village in Padang Bolak. The sound of howling coyotes was carried by the night breeze. Sampuraga looked up at the moon with an uneasy feeling.

His landlord's words three days ago made it difficult for him to close his eyes. “Still not sure, Raga?” asked Tondi, who faithfully accompanied Sampuraga. “I'm capable of migrating, what's the harm in just walking a long way?” replied Sampuraga.

Tondi sighed for a moment before speaking again, “But Raga, what about...” Before Tondi could continue, a woman with a frail body and bleached hair appeared from behind the door.

“Umak...” called Sampuraga. “Nape modom ho, amang? (Haven't you slept yet, son?)” asked the old woman approaching Sampuraga.

“Ahadei, amang?” she continued. Hearing the question, Sampuraga looked down.

“I cooked holat with your favorite pakkat but you didn't eat it. You have been sleeping late for the past three days. Tell me about it with Umak,” said the old woman. “Raga wants to migrate Umak,” said Sampuraga.

The request made Mrs. Sampuraga's blood boil, “Do you want to leave Umak?” Raga revealed his heart. “Raga wants to change our fate by going to Mandailing. Giot pasonang Umak do au so ke au marantau (I want to please my mother that's why I'm going overseas)” Sampuraga explained.

“Saotik peindaadong hu bayangkanmarsarak dot hu (Not even a little bit I imagine amang inda can hu pasonang ho (I apologize for not being able to make you happy),” said Mrs. Sampuraga softly. “Umak...” Sampuraga replied no less softly.

Sampuraga immediately knelt before his mother. “Thank you Umak! Raga promised to come back after he succeeded,” Sampuraga promised his mother. Tondi, who witnessed the emotional event in front of him, could not hold back his tears.

For days Sampuraga walked with Tondi through the wilderness and various villages. They finally arrived at a place called Pidoli, Mandailing. Sampuraga was mesmerized after seeing the prosperity and well-being in the Pidoli region.

“Raga, look!” pointed Tondi at a crowd. “Try approaching the merchant,” he continued. Raga took Tondi's advice by introducing himself and expressing his desire to work for the merchant.

The merchant granted Sampuraga's request. Thanks to the tenacity and honesty always taught by his mother, Sampuraga won the trust of his employer. After a long time, Sampuraga was asked to become the merchant's son-in-law.

“Since the beginning of our meeting, I have always believed that you are a diligent and good young man. I have never met a young man as good as you, would you like to be my son-in-law?” asked the master expressing his wish. “I would gladly marry your daughter,” Sampuraga said happily. “Soon I will be very rich!” said Sampuraga. Tondi, who heard this, was stunned because he caught the arrogant tone of his words.

The news of Sampuraga's marriage to a noble princess quickly spread throughout the country, including his mother who was unsure of the truth. She traveled step by step to reach the land of Pidoli in Mandailing.

Upon arriving in the land of Pidoli, the old woman was greeted by the sound of gondang sambilan, indicating a festive occasion. She was surprised to see a young man she recognized sitting side by side with a beautiful princess.

Sampuraga's mother broke through the front row of the crowd and shouted her son's name. “That's Umak's voice...” whispered Tondi, who was accompanying Sampuraga. “Ah, no way!” argued Sampuraga when he heard a familiar voice.

“Sampuraga, it's me, your umak, son!” exclaimed his mother. Tondi repeatedly reassured Sampuraga but Sampuraga was suddenly embarrassed and angry. “You ugly old woman! How dare you. My Umak has been dead for a long time!” said Sampuraga.

“How dare you Sampuraga! How dare you disown your umak,” his mother hissed. “Bow down Raga! Ro ma ho mangido maaf selagi mangolu umakmu (Come you son apologize while your mother lives),” ordered Tondi. However, Sampuraga called the guards to chase his mother away.

After leaving the party with tears in her eyes, Sampuraga's mother prayed, “God, if the young man is really Sampuraga then teach him a lesson. For the greatest sin is to disobey one's parents.”

The sky seemed to change suddenly until lightning struck each other. Rain fell heavily followed by the sound of thunder. All the invitees including Sampuraga and his wife tried to run for their lives. Unfortunately, the place sank in no time.

Sampuraga's party venue turned into a pool of extremely hot water. The locals believed that everything was the incarnation of Sampuraga's wedding party that was cursed. The local people then named the place as “Kolam Sampuraga”.

Dear David,

How are you? I hope this email finds you well and ready for a good story! I wanted to tell you about an adventure that I had recently, which I thought you may find funny!

Last Friday, I went to the park with my brother and friend Tony. It was a beautiful sunny day and everyone was having fun. Everything was going well until I decided to walk near the little pond. I didn’t notice the very slippery ground so I ended up slipping and falling down! Everyone turned to look at me. I was so embarrassed, but luckily, I didn’t injure myself.

But my misfortune didn’t end there. As we were walking home from the park, I tripped over a small rock. You can imagine what happened next…I fell again and this time I injured my leg. As it turned out, I sprained my ankle and had to go to the doctor! I am now recovering in bed, but my ankle is still in pain!

Anyway, I hope you had a better weekend than me! Haha! Please write back soon, I’m looking forward to your news!

Love,

Theano
