6 ways DJs can get organized during lockdown (you’ll thank yourself later)
We all feel it – the COVID-19 burnout is real. Many of us are itching to get outside, to play clubs again, to be back on a dancefloor, and to play on a big soundsystem again. Yep, we miss it too.
But we’re not quite there yet – particularly in Uganda. That’s why so many DJs are searching for ways to be productive in ways that we haven’t quite had the time for in the past. If you’re not playing DJ gigs, but you know you will again someday, it might be worthwhile to utilize this time to get organized. As much of a pain as it may be, you’ll appreciate it down the road.
We’ve compiled a list of places to start thanks inspired by Selector Josh and the ideas you’ve shared with us, but the possibilities are endless.
1. Set your cue points.
A simple, time-consuming, and somewhat painful process – yet completely worth it if you can give your tracks the time and attention they need to place your cue points throughout. Whether it’s Rekordbox, Traktor, Serato, or another software of your choice, it’s worthwhile in the end.
You’ll thank yourself later when you’re back in the club scrolling through tracks to play.
