Ive been a bedroom DJ in the uk for 2 years i own a pair of vestax pdx 2000's and a stanton SK2 mixer i dj funky house and my beat mixing is top on. But i have never dj'd in a club before and i want to start how do i get my self a set sorted?

Hi - presuming you mean a 'track play-list' set, the first place I would start is at the local or funky house club.

You'll get an idea of the atmosphere and what fellow DJ's a playing....including the request plays and of course the working DJ's 'set'.
If you can, try and get some 'mood' experience from other venues that play the style of music you want to play for 'experience factor'.

You don't have to copy the 'set' the working DJ is playing but you'll get a very good idea of what's 'current' and 'crowd appealing'.

Of course - you'll have your own idea of what would work and what goes down well - so I hope it will influence you to then aim for a particular venue (even one you may have visited)!!!

Regards

Its gonna be hard to go straight from bedroom to club - but persistance pays... put together your own set (considering the advice above) and do the foot work.... network, and legwork!

Like Kazzachi (of course we like 'er) I too, think that it'll be hard for you to go straight from entertaining a bedroom wall, to performing in front of a crowd.

I would recommend that you try find an in-between "rung" between these very two distinct performance levels.

A friend of mine was also a bedroom DJ for some time, and managed to get a slot in a club as a one-off (he talked his way onto a clubs "Emergency List" - the list of scribbled phonenumbers that club managers refer to when their regular DJ phones in one evening from their death-bed). My friend was able to mix it up great with himself, or a few mates as his only audience, but he got seriously stage-struck when he looked down (from the dizzy height of 1ft higher than the dancefloor) across the heads of the audience.

I didn't hear how good or bad he was that night, but he got very nervous and felt that he did a lousy job. it had a very negative effect on him, to the point that he sold his gear soon afterward.

Although the music expectations wont tolerate a 2hr set of any one type of music, with no DJ announcements, you could try getting some "audience experience" by helping out a local mobile DJ. It might prepare you for a sea of bobbing heads, even though you may only be able to spin 20~30 mins of commercial/chart funky house per night.
