Just wolfed down a Ginster's pasty, and currently talking to a 'merkin friend about music production/DJing.

Break out your organ? Perv. :D
I think the reason I haven't started DJing or producing yet is, the equipment/software is a bit pricey.

well
depends what you are trying to do innit
ambiwank done with on of these toys, which in my case was off freecycle. The filter abuse was done by a sblive, which cost like £5 on ebay. You can get hardware for peanuts, if you are desparate for things to abuse sound with you can ghetto it with guitar effects pedals or some cheapo fx boxes off ebay, the cheapest in my mind though is using old sblives as fx units.
Open source music software isn't that impressive but there are twatloads of free VST's some of which are quite nice. As for quality recording, I don't know as I just ghetto the shit out of everything :)

Yeah... I'm trying to go a bit French house/electro.
My friend suggested getting MIDI controllers and Ableton and whatnot. I do know my local Cash Converters has TONS of effects pedals for dirt-cheap, so I could look into that.
As for software, I've been lumbered with GarageBand, but it's very, VERY limited. The most I've ever done with it is make a sample loop, which took much longer than it should have.
