Hal Leonard Publishes Make Some Noise

Become the Ultimate DJ

Montclair, NJ (January 29, 2014) - There are books on how to become a DJ, books that talk about beatmatching, mashups, and how to perform in nightclubs - even one that claims it can teach you everything in two hours. Make Some Noise is a complete, cutting-edge DJ book and is unlike any current book on the subject. It does teach the basics, but it goes beyond the how-to, discussing DJ'ing while playing with a live instrument as well as goal-setting, marketing, and choosing your music genre. The book also features a collection of twenty-five spotlights on some of the biggest DJs in the world, providing you with the opportunity to learn from the best of the best. Some of the DJs included are Infected Mushroom, Judge Jules, Miss Nine, Todd Terry, Chus, Umek, Kissy Sell Out, and Format B.

Make Some Noise blends together practical advice and tools for learning the craft, along with an inspirational message that will help encourage you to pursue your own dreams and aspirations about becoming a DJ.

"DJ'ing consists of these elements: mixing and beatmatching, programming amazing sets, incorporating live instrumentation, and crowd interaction," says Scott Binder, the author of Make Some Noise. "If you master these elements, you will separate yourself from 99 percent of the DJs out there. Modern DJs are at their best when they are turning their shows into true live performance, and mastering all of the levels illustrated in this book will help you do that."
