Ive gone through many phases and fads in my life. Done and gone through many things. I consider myself a loner sometimes, becuase 90% of my friends blair hip-hop or pop shit all the time . I only know 2 others that like trance, one likes it alot, and another is just getting into it i guess. The one getting into it, his name is Daniel. i once held a party and he showed up. Ive had a history with him, he doesnt have his own idendity, he copies others to find himself. I once bought a new GFX card (geforce 5700) 2 weeks later he did, there were a few other things ive done that he has copied aswell. a few days ago he calls me up and wants to get into spinning. I live in minnesota, the scene sucks, you cant just find a dj, there rarity. so he calls me up, trys to find things to buy, i tell him a little bit but, i get a little mad at him.
#1 he listens to dj encore and cheezy trance.... its horrible
#2 hes done alot of things ive done in the past
#3. mixing is something you need to have a PASSION for, it is a skill like painting.
#4 spinning takes alot of money (turntables, mixer, VINYL...)
these are the things running in my head. i think about why he wants to do this and i dont see a passion for trance or mixing i just see it as "i wanna be the star". he wants me to tell him info, what to buy, where to get records, how to find deals for him. i never got anyone to tell me this information, i had to learn all on my own. it seems like this guy gets everything he asks for, no work at all. do i really want to give him my hard earned information? This is just stupid. I wonder if any of you have any advice for me.
a few questions i have are:
#1 do i help him?
#2 how do i defuse his questions
if anyone has any advice please feel free to share
