Welcome to My Post Mid-life Crisis

Three boxes on the floor. A Pioneer DDJ-FLX4, headphones, and a pair of monitor speakers.

Yes, I finally took the plunge and bought some toys that I've been thinking about for much of 2025. I was a radio DJ in college and this is a very different kind of DJ gear...but thinking about how to move from one song to another is quite enjoyable to me and I want to do move of it and do it more like professionals.

Do I plan on making a career out of DJing? No. I can't stay up that late anymore. Do I plan on doing this publically? Eh, if it happens it happens, but it is not the goal. What is the goal? To learn something new and have fun. I'm pretty sure I can do that.

The Gear:

  • Pioneer DDJ-FLX4
  • Eris 3.5TB monitor speakers
  • Sennheiser HD 280 PRO headphones
  • rekordbox (software to control my deck)

This is all "bang for buck" gear, because this is just for fun.
