Question about Djing

i know that mostly Djs play techno and blah... but are
there any anywhere that play IDM stuff? not to dance to...
just to listen?

i know there isnt any places like that in the US... but in
England perhaps? where there is a larger IDM audience?

i would like to be an IDM dj just for fun

I only DJ acid, I sometimes mix Joyrex J4 and some
Squarepusher in but not much.

If you have the vinyl then go for it, I can think of worse
things for you to do in your spare time. If you have friends
with house parties you can really mess with the E heads with
Aphex Twin. Collecting the vinyl is great also but a risk to
carry around at times.

Wow, I guess I just really got you down. Decks can be cheap,
just go for a very basic set to start like Numark then build
up, Vinyl is so much better then CD too and you can really
feel the music living.

Hmm, I’m not sure. Most of the stuff I mix is so varied
you cant really put an average price on. If you go on Ebay
and type Aphex Twin in you can get an idea of second hand
IDM value. www.warprecords.com/mart has some fantastic stuff
too, Just scan thru the labels.

Also i'm sure vinyl pricing will difer in the US to the UK.

Most good IDM is only on Vinyl, if you go for the real raw
tracks no one has heard before you will find another world
of great music. When you get into this you learn how to
balance vinyl and CDs choosing the correct method to
purchase each. Normally you find you buy more and more vinyl
because you simply cant get it on CD.
