Human: I really like music and think I could become a DJ. What first steps should I be taking?

Assistant: First, I think it’s important to have a set of goals that you’re working toward, or an overall plan, so that you have some direction.  Are you thinking about a direction or setting out a path for yourself?  I know you’re passionate about music, but do you want to work in a professional setting, in a venue or a studio, or do you want to be DJing at house parties or clubs, maybe even just playing a music mix that your friends would enjoy?  Those are all very different paths.

Assistant: You could get a beginner DJ mixer and some basic DJ records. If you already have a music mixer, you could try asking a friend to show you their DJ records. DJ mixes are collections of songs with little gaps between the tracks.  You could also explore advanced tracks, with multiple tempo changes and dramatic endings.
