The best thing about blogging is being able to reach out to other bloggers and make a connection. Additionally, anyone reading this post will get the extra benefit of finding other sources for DJ tutorials other than Next Generation DJ. These blogs have been around for quite some time which means they have a lot of content to check out – perfect for the beginner DJ.
DJTechTools
The design of the site is very slick and attractive with plenty of in-depth analysis of the gear being reviews and featured – plenty of pictures too! Every so often there is a tutorial post that is well thought out and insightful.
DJTechTools should be on your RSS feed to keep up with the newest gear while getting a bit of learning done at the same time.
The DJ Master Course Blog
I can’t say for sure how many posts will eventually make its way onto the blog since one of the main intent is to sell the course but in the meantime they’re worth checking out.
DJ-Advice
DJ-Advice is another blog similar to the DJ Master Course blog – it’s partially meant to sell a DJ tutorial product. The reason I placed this on the list however is that there are many well written posts about learning how to DJ.
DJ-Advice covers quite a range of topics such as DJ tips, eqipment, videos and more. Even if you won’t end up buying the guide, it’s still a great resource to get a few tips from a different perspective.
TheMixingDJ
TheMixingDJ is another DJ tutorial blog that has just started to take off as well. TheMixingDJ has already become one of the best DJ blogs because each post is well thought out and stocked with good information.
TheMixingDJ starts you right where you need to begin if you’re anxious to jump into DJing: beatmatching. As the blog has progressed, it’s opened up to gear reviews, mixing and continues to grow over time.
This is a blog I’m going to keep an eye on. Each post gets a bit better with the content. You should definitely check this blog out to get additional DJ tips and tricks.
BeatMixed
Last, but not least, comes the cream of the crop, in my opinion, for DJ blogs. Beatmixed has it all, literally. There are tons of DJ tutorials, gear and album reviews, community interaction, interviews and it dates all the way back to 2003!
There’s not much that has slipped through the eyes of Beatmixed over the years, it’s almost like an archive of how gear and electronic music has progressed over the last few years.
Many of the posts are just quick, one-offs directing you to other tutorial sites or whatever tickles the fancy of the day but each one is worth checking out because they’re always interesting.
Matt Hite, the writer of Beatmixed, is very involved with the blog. The tutorials section is very extensive, collecting links from around the net including some off beat stuff. You can spend a couple days going through the archives but it’s definitely worth it.
It’s kind of a shame that there aren’t many DJ tutorial blogs available on the net. The thing that makes blogging different from websites is the different vibe you get in comparison to something that may have been written as if it was a publication.
Luckily there are plenty of DJ tutorial websites which I’ll tell you about soon enough. These differ a bit from blogging in terms of style but for the meantime you can check out these five DJ tutorial blogs.
Feel free to leave a comment if you can think of any more DJ tutorial blogging sites that I may have missed.
Peace...
