Always wanted a DJ decks setup in my room, for about 10 years and finally have parental clearance to do so 
What will i need ?
I have 2 turntables already, shall check in a minute and update.
What else will i need, or should i just buy a beginners package since i got my turntables for free.

also some people see vinyl as old skool in Northern Ireland it is hard to find vinyl releases, so cdj's may be an option, or pc or mac dj software my be an idea, they go from beginner to pro.

Direct drive decks (no belt) would be perfect then.

Direct drive have no belt and are seen as higher end and better. Belt drive is seen as less accurate. Most decks will say if they are belt driven, lift up the platter and you should see. What decks have you got?
