Why I Started This Blog – DJ Life and Gear Advice, Unfiltered

Hey DJ,

You know the feeling…
You walk into the venue.
Butterflies in your stomach — part excitement, part “please let everything go right tonight.”
You take a breath. The lights are still down. That quiet moment before the music kicks in.

That’s where real DJ life and gear advice starts — in the moments that matter, not in manuals.

But you already know what your first track will be.
A banger.
The kind that makes the floor bounce.
People are slowly trickling in. They don’t know what’s coming.
And then — BAM. That first sound hits.
They recognize it.
And yes… they’re moving.
Straight to the dancefloor.
Goosebumps.
That’s the moment I live for.
To be a DJ — that’s my life.
I’m DJ Nancy. And playing music is what I do.
But honestly? I’m always thinking about everything around it, too.
About the gear. The setup. How to arrange a set so it flows just right.
Which tracks belong together — and which ones don’t.

You know what I mean. It never stops. And I love it.
So much runs through my head as a DJ.

That’s why I started this blog.
My outlet. My journal. My honest take on the DJ life.
If you live for music like I do, if you geek out over gear and love that moment the drop hits just right; this blog is for you.

Why Dj life and gear advice matters

DJ Nancy’s Dream Moments:
Music is my language.
My breath.
My way of feeling the world.
This blog is where I’ll share real stories from the DJ life.
Stories about when everything falls into place.
And the ones where nothing does.
The little things no one tells you — but they make all the difference between a decent set… and something magical.
Maybe you’ll see yourself in it.
Maybe it’ll inspire you to dream bigger.
Either way: you’re welcome here.

Why DJ Life and Gear Advice Matters

Why does one mixer feel like butter…
…and another like you’re arguing with a robot?
In this blog, I’ll take you with me — into the good, the bad, and the straight-up weird when it comes to DJ gear.
I’ll tell you what I’ve run into, what’s gone wrong, and what totally saved my sets.
No 40-page manuals — just real talk.
Why I choose certain gear. What makes sense, what doesn’t.
Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been spinning for years,
I’m here to give you insights that matter.

DJ Nancy’s Thought Moments:
I love figuring stuff out.
What works on stage?
What absolutely doesn’t?

DJ Nancy’s Decision Moments
One thing about me?
I don’t just buy into hype.
I can’t stand those polished sales pitches — yuck.
I ask myself: do I like this? Would I actually use it?
If the answer’s no, I’ll tell you straight-up.
This blog is your shortcut to real-world DJ knowledge.
No fluff.
Just:
– what works
– what doesn’t
– why
– and how you can level up because of it

Sometimes I’ll drop links to products.
If you buy through them, you support my work — without paying a cent more.
But only buy what feels right for you.
I’m not a salesperson.
I’m a DJ.

And just so you know — I’m not here to post one blog and disappear.
I’ll keep showing up. With stories, tips, experiences and insights — straight from the booth and the real world.

So that maybe, just maybe, you’ll find yourself thinking:
“Has DJ Nancy from Smart DJ Gear posted something new this week?”
The moment I’ve got a new tip about the DJ life or a piece of gear that’s worth sharing —
I’m back at my laptop, keys clicking, letting the beats pour through my fingertips.

Stay tuned for the next blog.

Musical greetings,
DJ Nancy
