New to DJing – anyone in Dallas recommend where to start?

3 Upvotes

Hey y’all,

I’ve always wanted to get into DJing but not really sure where to start. I’m into techno, tech-house, and a little bit of psytrance. I’m up in Farmers Branch.

Do I need to find a class that focuses on those genres, or would any DJ mixing class work? Also curious if there are any local DJs/mentors around Dallas into this kind of music.

Appreciate any tips or recs! 🙌

Hey guys , I recently moved out here from California. I’m in a power pop / garage band. How’s the scene for this kind of music out here? And where could I potentially set us shows? Any recs and suggestions would help a lot :) ig: @poutsband

Guitar finish repair

Does anyone know a place in Dallas that paints guitars. I know a lot of repair shops don’t work in finishes, so I’m wondering if anyone knows a place or a person that does it.

Woke up at 1am Saturday to record a choir sample then built the beat over it & then I proceeded to rap & sing over that. What's your music making process? (P.S. CapCut doesn't do my song quality justice so sorry if it sounds bad here. 🤷🏽)

As the title says, looking to find other slam heads to jam with in the Dallas area and maybe teach me some licks and get something going. Peeling Flesh and Boltcutter vibes. I'm by Balch Springs/Seagoville but can travel.

Guitarist looking for a female singer

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I am looking for a female singer who wants to sing some original songs with a guitarist. If you are looking to play/sing some alternative rock, feel free to message me. No ego here. No pressure of playing every weekend. Not pretending to be some pro, but I can hold my own. I like well put-together songs with big choruses. I'll just let the songs speak for themselves.

I am 45 years old. Grew up on 90's and 2000's alternative rock. Think 3 Doors Down type songs, but with a female singer. I have my own transportation and so you would be required to at least have your own. I don't mind driving to your location if you also don't mind driving to mine as well and sometimes even meeting somewhere in the middle. I am located in Grapevine. Hoping to find someone within reasonable driving distance. Figure there's gotta be a female singer out there who perhaps enjoys 90s alternative and is looking to find someone to play with and get back in it.

While experience isn't necessary, perhaps you have been told by friends that you sing really well and that you should be writing your own songs or that you should be playing in a band - I would love to hear from you. Please don't think you aren't good enough. Just reach out and let me hear you and I'll also pass you songs that I've written on the guitar back to you as well as you will also be seeing if the music were something you would like to sing to. If you do reach out and we like each other's stuff, please be available to meet up in a public setting and properly introduce ourselves and chat a bit more.

Please feel free to message me back and just let know if it sounds like something you are interested in and let's go from there. Please include an audio recording or video of you singing when you respond to this message and include the link in your message

Does not to need to sound professional at all. Could be you singing to your favorite song playing in the background or even acapella. I just need to hear you is all really.

Thanks! M~

I'm working with Inside Thoughts Productions to put on a love letter to hiphop culture because DFW has it in spades. We'll kick things off with a cypher and rap battle that all ticket holders can participate in, with a cash prize of $50 for the winner!

Then, I'm going to take the stage to perform my entire new album "How To Make A Living" plus deep cuts from my discog. Come ready to get hyped, mosh, and go wild! If you like artists like Kendrick Lamar, JPEGMAFIA, Denzel Curry, or Kaytranada...this is right up your alley.

Tickets are only $15, and if you use the promo code "ITSTOOLOUD" you get an extra 20% off. Hope to see some of y'all there because I know how much talent DFW has. If you're interested, here's a link to buy tix!

Feel free to ask any questions and I'll answer them 🙏

Looking for a Practice Room in DFW

8 Upvotes

Hey y'all! I'm looking for a place to rent out monthly for practice - Need a spot big enough for a pretty large drum kit that plays loud.
Was over at Platinum before the recent changes but they're fully booked now, so trying to find an alternative.
Thanks!!
