If you're a bit of a music
fanatic, you probably know a technically gifted DJ or an enthusiast who you admire.
Not too long ago, a career in DJing was only taken up by a few people, namely
those who wanted to pursue music as a full-time job and could afford the
expensive equipment. However, today, it has become a hobby, and a part-time
career for many, as technology, allows everyone to compose or mix music with
minimal expertise, at a fairly reasonable cost.
When it comes to buying a gift
for a DJ, there are several items that you can choose. Whether your DJ is a
hardcore full-time DJ or just someone who does a few gigs on the weekend, here
are some gift ideas they are sure to love:
DJ Controller
Any DJ would appreciate a new
controller as a gift, whether to take to gigs or to practice. There are so many
great options out there, but the Numark DJ2GO2 is probably the best value you can get for your money. It has a two-channel
control, high headphones output, and is very easy to carry around in a
backpack.
Turntable
While every DJ would love to own
the best equipment out there, finding DJ
finance options isn’t always easy. If you are looking for something
valuable and don’t mind spending a bit of money, a turntable is the ultimate
gift option. Pioneer PLX-500-K is a popular choice for many DJs today as it is
a high-quality model that produces exceptional sound and comes with all the
features a DJ needs.
Quality headphones
A pair of high-quality headphones
is an item any DJ would love to receive as their ears are an integral part of
their DJ kit. Choose one that is lightweight but comes with excellent sound
quality. If you want to go for something special, wireless headphones are a great
option as they allow DJs to move around freely while producing top-notch music.
Laptop stand
It may not sound like the most
refreshing gift idea, but a DJ needs these things to make their lives easy.
Imagine the pain of having to bend down always when at a gig, and you will
realize what we mean. A folding stand that can easily hold a laptop or
controller is a blessing when you need to stand for hours playing music.
High-capacity USB Flash Drive
Every DJ needs a good USB that is
fast, durable, and comes with sufficient memory to store their music –
something they can rely on and carry to their gigs without any worry. If you
are looking for an extra durable piece, the Corsair Flash Survivor
Stealth comes with a 64 GB storage and is like a bullet-proof vest because
it is only unbreakable.
Quality microphone
A cool microphone makes a useful
gift because a DJ’s job isn’t just to play music – they also need to interact
with the audience whether they are playing at a live show or an event such a
birthday or wedding and this isn’t possible without the right mic. You will
find both wired and wireless varieties
and can pick one that meets your budget.
Cable Organizer
DJs need to carry around multiple
cables, and it’s no fun storing each one in a separate small bag and keeping
track of them. But what if there was a single pouch with multiple compartments
to stash away each one of those annoying cables to a gig. For this very reason,
cable organizers make a valuable gift for any DJ.
Another tip before you set off to
buy a gift for a DJ is to ask them what kind of equipment they use and anything
they’d like to own. It can often give you an idea of what they need. Good luck
and happy shopping!
