Back on Track

So I've realized that I've been straying from the original intended purpose for this blog. This blog was intended to inform you all of the trials and tribulations of an aspiring DJ, but has turned into an online journal. I'm bringing it back on track now. So for all the other stuff you can now visit wenlaw.blogspot.com.

I'm in the process of switching computers with my father so I haven't been able to record any sets or put any beats together recently. I can't wait to have a permanent puter. The one I have now is a loaner from my dad. Once I have that set up I need to get my ass in gear and start recording again.

Still no word from the TO promoter. There's still time but I'm definately losing some faith in that idea. Hopefully I'll catch someone's attention some other time.

I went to go see a very talented Hip Hop group play on Wednesday night called 'Toolshed'. There were 3 rappers, a guitar player, a drummer, a bass, and best of all they had a scratch DJ! They gave me a great idea to remix some of their stuff into breaks tracks. The vocals in some of the tracks sounded awesome and would sound great with some breaks. I'll have to contact them and see what they think of this idea.

If they are gung-ho about this idea it will definately add to my already large list of things to do that will further my DJing career. Here it is thus far:

-Create djwendylaw.com website.
-Design and print business cards.
-Record and distribute demo cd.
-Practice as much as possible.
-Play in public as much as possible
-Make/Remix music.

It definately takes a lot of hard work, dedication and time management to do all of this while working a full time job and maintain a satisfactory social life.

If I can do all of this in the next few months than I know I'll be ready to go back to school in July.

I guess we'll have to see now won't we?!
