DJ Sledge uses Rekordbox DJ as his software to compile all his music. He currently has about 1250 songs of all sorts of genres downloaded. DJ Sledge also adds that he doesn't DJ for the money. "Don't get me wrong it definitely helps out a lot but my goal is to offer the best experience for my client or an audience," Sledge said, "You could be the best paid DJ in the world but, you could also be trash.
