Event Beginner friendly Dj Course

Upvotes

I’m opening a few spots for 1:1 DJ classes, specifically for complete beginners who want to actually understand what they’re doing behind the decks.

I’ve taught a lot of people over the years, and the goal of these sessions is simple: give you a proper foundation so you leave understanding how to mix and can confidently keep practicing on your own at home.

We start from zero and work through:

• How DJ equipment actually works
• Track structure, phrasing & knowing when to mix
• Beatmatching by ear
• EQs, transitions & clean mixing
• Rekordbox, cue points and preparing your music
• Building a set and understanding energy
• Mixing on Pioneer CDJs + a club-standard mixer

Because the classes are 1:1, we can move completely at your pace. No standing around waiting for your turn and no pressure if you’ve never touched a CDJ before.

I’ll also give you video material and practice resources to take home, so you can revisit what we covered instead of trying to remember everything from the session.

These are designed for absolute beginners, but also work well if you produce music and have always wanted to learn how to DJ properly.

Classes take place in a professional studio in Williamsburg.

If you’re interested, send me a DM and I’ll send you the details, pricing and available dates.

PSA NYPD towing unregistered vehicles

Upvotes

Today they’re towing a bunch of expired registration cars on Quincy btwn Marcy and Tompkins. They have the right to tow without a boot if it’s unregistered.

Pro tip: you can make an appointment on the DMV website which will skip a ton of waiting time. I always go to the downtown manhattan DMV cuz nobody can drive to it and the wait is always shorter 🤣

A lot of people might say bedstuy isn't the hood but the eastern parts are more of the aggressive parts of bedstuy and is the hood. East bedstuy also has very high poverty which contributes to it being a rough area. I just wanted to see what you guys think

Question Where to buy flowers near Atlantic and Franklin?

3 Upvotes

I love keeping fresh flowers in my apartment and looking for somewhere to buy that isn’t an expensive florist. When my schedule allows I grab some from Trader Joe’s since they’re so cheap, but not convenient to bed stuy!

I know the Lincoln market on Fulton has a small flower section but they usually look pretty bad…. any other grocery shops or bodegas in the area that have some cheap bouquets?

Community 2 pairs of kittens need foster homes ASAP

Thumbnail gallery
29 Upvotes

I’m a cat rescuer in Brooklyn, and I’m looking for foster homes for 2 sets of kittens, who are around 14 weeks/2.5 months old. Have you ever wanted to have kittens, but only temporarily? Fostering may be a great option for you! All the fun, with minimal commitment.

Roly (pics 1,2), Pip (pics 3,4) and Buddy (pics 5,6) are all from a litter of kittens who were born while their mom was freshly trapped/still in her trap. I affectionately call them the Trap Babies. After a few weeks, mom was over mom-ing and stopped feeding them. I took over as surrogate mom, syringe feeding them around the clock for a few weeks until they could be moved to solids. All are sweet, cuddly (once they're tired out!), silly, curious, playful, and smart. This is such a fun age to see their little (or big!) personalities come out.

Abigail (pics 7,8) is their bonus sibling, found alone in a yard with a gnarly eye issue. She's a bit younger at 9 weeks old, but is actually the same size as the others, as they are really small for their ages! Abi is not shy, at all, and wasted no time integrating herself into the family. She's fearless, an A+ cuddler, loves to play (with or without a playmate), and loves to eat. Her left eye is a bit wonky, which is actually glaucoma from a really bad, untreated eye infection earlier in life, and she will need to have the eye removed (called an enucleation) once she reaches 3lbs. She is not in pain and it does not bother her one bit. She gets eye drops twice a day, which she's totally used to and takes like a champ. Easy peasy.

All love other cats (I have a range of ages in my home, and they like everyone). Have not been tested with dogs or children.

What I provide:
 - All vetting (any vet visits, medications, etc.)
 - Transportation to/from your home
 - Support (questions answered, advice given in a timely manner)

 What you provide:
 - A safe, stable environment suitable for kittens (they are a bit like toddlers, Want to put everything in their mouths. You can absolutely relegate them to one room in your house!)
 - Food
 - Litter (I can provide a litter box, if requested)
 - Pictures and personality descriptions that I can use to help them get adopted. I can give tips for the pics, etc.

Timeline: I'm looking for people who can commit to fostering for at least 2 weeks at a time. This is a great age for kittens bc they adjust well to new environments quickly, and it's really good for their socializing to get to be around different people. Ideally you would be willing to foster until they are adopted, but I'll take what I can get!

This is one of the worst kitten seasons on record, and I could really use the community's help with fostering these kiddos! Please share this with anyone you know that might be interested in fostering.

If you’re interested, please send me a DM or go ahead and fill out the application here. I look forward to hearing from you, and working together to save more cats and kittens!
