DJ Eldorado is back with a guest review of instructional DVDs that aim to teach you how to DJ — and to his surprise, given the challenge of teaching DJing, he’s got only good things to say. Drop the iPods and learn real vinyl and computer programs like Final Scratch: can these show you the way? Read on. -PK

If you’re interested in learning how to be a DJ check out DJ Shortee’s How-To DJ Instructional DVD series. The two instructional DVDs (DJ 101 and DJ 202) cost US$28 each and will have you spinnin’ like a pro in no time.

Your host is DJ Shortee, a turntablist of 10 years, Playboy’s official tour DJ and the only female DJ featured in Doug Pray’s acclaimed movie Scratch. Shortee’s also in the upcoming hip-hop DJ movie “Mistress X,” so she’s got cred, ok?

The gang at Music Thing filling in for Tom while he's away have wisely pointed to the trailer for the superb Moog documentary.
If you missed this in theaters in the fall, you've got another chance:
Plexifilm tells CDM to expect the DVD sometime around May. We'll keep
you posted here. And there's a poster for sale, too — a must-have for
your studio, of course.
