About
Hello,
I'm Depict. My name is Chris and I am a Trance, Progressive, House & Tech House DJ that is based in Brisbane, Australia. With the help of the internet, for distribution and my striving goal to improve my skills. This will be the place to find all my mixes and all the content I aim to release to the world.
Insight into Depict
How did I come up with the name Depict? Simple. I enjoy playing computer & console games and they require you to have a "nickname" so when I first started i wanted to choose something people would remember and some thing that would have a meaning. This is how i came about the name Depict.
de·pict
1. to represent by or as if by painting; portray; delineate.
2. to represent or characterize in words; describe.
How ever, some people struggle to pronounce "Depict". So my close mates have decided I should be called "Timmy Tripper" - For several reason but mainly because (their words) "You trip people out" I am also said to have similar qualities to "Timmy" from the popular TV show South Park. Therefore I should be called "Timmy Tripper". No matter how hard I try to defend myself I am always reminded that I am a tripper. But what ever you want to call me just remember the word Depict.
How it all started..
How it all started. Well from a very young age I always had a love for electronic music. (1990's) and when in primary school I spent many nights listening to "Techno" that was played late night on radio shows. However when I came into high school my tastes changed (So did the times really) and I listened to a lot of Punk and Metal type of music.
Towards the end of my High school years I slowly became more interested in Dance music once again, and late 2007 I went and bought myself a copy Atomix Virtual Dj. I played and tinkered with songs for a good id say 2 weeks before i lost complete interest in the idea. (Typical teenager) I came back to it roughly six months later with much more success. But being a student I could never afford real decks.
I kept playing with the software until I was roughly 18 and had a half decent job. This when I saved up and got gear piece by piece. First a mixer then a CDJ 200 then finally a CDJ 400. I started practising on that.. few months later I went and sold my CDJ 200 and bought another CDJ 400.
I have now been mixing for close to 2 years and I i like to think I am getting better and better at it and that's how I got started in "DJing" but one thing you must have and I don't, have a lot of patience.
