I picked up the check hours before receiving my degree from graduating Baruch College in the mail. So I essentially ended up holding a piece of paper that made it possible for me to now get a job so I can earn money to pay back the college loans I took out in one hand, an...

  As much as dropping on “the one” and learning how to merge two songs of varying speeds is the groundwork of DJing, these are also generic techniques that most capable DJs possess. You’re here, reading this because you’ve reached the point in your DJ journey where you’ve acquired the skill to do both and you’re ready for the inspiration to take your DJ knowledge from universal to unique.  I’m here   to help with that! In my  Advanced DJing — EQ Mixing and Looping   tutorial, I’ll teach you how to camouflage transitions from one song to the next using a mixer’s equalizer. I also give tips on how setting loops in your Serato DJ app, facilitate various pathways for you to approach your transitions in other creative ways. Put simply, this is all critical stuff you need to learn because once you master the bedrock techniques of DJing, it’s important for you to do so without compromising your own individuality. The act of learning should never result in compromising ...

   Founded in March of 2016, I created the  #brolicarmy   as a means of providing aspiring DJs with the proper information to grow as DJs. Over the course of the last 5 years, I’ve successfully turned YouTube, facebook and Instagram into my virtual classrooms. Giving students of DJing from all over the world valuable information on not just DJing’s techniques but the rich history involved with an art form that still remains an enigma to most people. After interacting with many of you on social media regarding my teachings, the most common question asked of me has been, “Rob, since I don’t live close enough to train with you in person, is there one place where I can go to access all of your concepts on DJing?”, and so it is with immense pride I present the  #brolicarmydjschool . Your experience with learning all that DJing has to offer will no longer bring with it any mysticism. From basic to technical, every aspect of the art form will be explained to you in a v...

I prefer  DJing   indoors to outdoors 100% of the time. Especially as the weather gets colder. College GameDay Week 9 at the campus of Michigan State was a perfect reminder of why I feel this way. DJing in bad weather is tough on your gear and your hands. But when ESPN is depending on you to keep an audience of hundreds of people energized for 90 minutes you must adapt to Mother Nature. Here are my  TOP 3 TIPS FOR DJing IN COLD WEATHER: 1) Get to the gig early and let your instruments acclimate to the temperature. Radical shifts in temperature (both up and down) can damage your equipment. So I recommend bringing the turntables, mixer, etc., in their cases, leaving them on stage IN their cases for a while, and then taking them out just before your set begins. 2) Wear a hoodie. A long sleeve shirt or sweater alone won’t cut it. Hoodies are perfect cause they have that center pocket you can easily slide your hands in to warm them up! 3) Hide your laptop if possible. I lucked...
