Gift ideas for DJs

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!

I've been writing for Brutal Resonance since November of 2012 and now serve as the editor-in-chief. I love the dark electronic underground and usually have too much to listen to at once but I love it. I am also an editor at Aggressive Deprivation, a digital/physical magazine since March of 2016. I support the scene as much as I can from my humble laptop.
