So i'm going to purchase a standard imac (desktop one, the 1200 dollar one) and I need to get Dj equipment for primarily techno/electronic music, can anyone list suggestions as to what equipment aka, dj software, turntables, keyboard etc etc.
anything will work, it really depends on if you plan to use the laptop for recording the mixes, remixing or creating music. each one of those would need different types of external hardware(except recording, you would only need a simple plug adapter)

Self-Grounding a Technics 1200 Turntable, pt.3/5
Gearwire Interviews Latina Dj Nicci C From the Nic@nine Radio Show
Technics 1200s--Chatting With DJ Nicci C
September 06, 2007
DJ Nicci C
Chicago-based DJ Nicci C hosts an online show Nic@Nine on Myspace every Wednesday and Friday nights at 9 p.m. Her focus is Latin music and the aim is to promote up and coming artists as well has have remixes from hot DJs from around the globe.
Nicci C started spinning in much the same way many DJs do--at friends' parties and houses.
"I love music--its huge in my family, and I was looking to make my way," she says. "One thing lead to another and since at the time there were only a couple females doing it , it helped me get gigs. My focus is old skool house music with latin beats."
She is also a proponent of turntables and says it is more than just sound--it is look and vibe.
"Some events want that look--you spinning you know?" says C "Personally I enjoy it-- I LOVE VINYL. As far as drawbacks of vinyl, the beats of both records need to be heard as one so its all in the technique and balance and if you don't master that the end product is going to be...well, not good..it takes skill...perhaps that's why not as many do it today as they did 20 years ago."
She is partial to Technics 1200 turntables.
These are, of course, the turntables (first released in 1972 and intended for the home stereo) that DJs everywhere revere. There have been numerous versions of 1200s including the SL-1200MK2. If you talk to DJs one thing you always hear about these tables is "they don't break."
You can also control the pitch and have a magnetic direct drive. You can scratch like a mother on these.
You can find out the whole history of the 1200 at SL-1200.com..It is a comprehensive history. For more on where to find parts for the turntables go to 1200s.com.
When it comes to DJ software you cannot have much of a conversation with Nicci C--She doesn't use any.
"I prefer doing without," she says "To me if it ain't broke don't try to fix it."
Upcoming plans include working on a show for her sister, a fashion designer, and is in talks about having an big event with DJs, poets, designers and others.
