THE LEARNING CURVE PROJECT

This is a my personal, yet public, journal of my attempt to learn and put into practise the art of making house music to be played in a club. Like many hobbyists out there, I would like the chance to take my music from the bedroom to the main room.

I will not be cutting any corners as I venture on this journey as I go from point A to B and finally to Z in the next year.

Along the way I will be investigating the different genres of house music. Anyone that has an interest in this style of music knows that there are more styles that I can shake a stick at, but I will do my best. I’m also hoping my peers who have made a success in this industry will provide feedback, give professional advice, and answer any questions I may have. It doesn’t matter what style of music or how big they’ve made it, we all have to start somewhere and hopefully, they can share their experiences with me.

I invite you to get involved as well by sharing your story, no matter what it is you do and maybe we can all learn from each others gains and losses.

Final note: I have recently learned that there is a rock band called "The Learning Curve" after setting up this page. I have nothing to do with them and apologise for any confusion.

DJ Jazzy Jeff Talks Rise of EDM, Definition of a DJ, Staying Relevant (by tvdjcity)

I just bought some new headphones for my laptop as the old ones ate going at the end. Anyways they where cheap £6.00 so I bought 2 pairs as I thought what a bargain. Turns out that Numark do not make a good cheap pair if headphones. Makes everything doing too bassy thus sounding muddy. The ate made for djing but I do wonder would they really be any good for that either or would they still be a sore let down? May let Peanut eat them, then again maybe not.

One of my nephews is interested in becoming a DJ. Being the most helpful person in the world (lie number 1) I told him I will help him if he needs it. He is extremely shy, so it’s not impossible, but it will take a lot of effort to get there.
