oh god dont spend so much money on that crap...trust me i know
get regular mk2s...stock everything....get Shure or Orfoton needles if you wanna be fancy but for practicing cheaper stantons will do.
get a decent mixer...remember that a electronic mixer is very different from a battle mixer so choose according to your music style
I like westax mixers.....though as a newbie you will be fine with something simple. 4 channels are nice....if you actually going to use more than 2 sources at a time.
get good DJing cans....not head-fi cans, not good sounding cans....good dj cans....something very big and isolated...that twist and turn..... and have cables on one side.
spend everything else on records...they are pricey and the best ones for electronic music come out in the UK.... though Gramaphone in chicago is an awesome place to get your electronic or hiphop music.
if you plan to use mostly mp3s at a point in time...think about Final Scratch too....though you are better off getting some nice pioneer CDJs that play mp3 files....I dont trust a computer with all that base thumping....unless you want to run ableton live on it .....but then you need 2 people running the show
ehh....im missing tons of tips....but ill check this post for any questions you might have
