What music do you like
BrodyMason:
I like everything really. Although I was a house DJ for awhile so I do hold a certain affinity for that kind of music. If anyone is interested in my sets, I still have a couple on soundcloud.

You can download them for free. I even have a set that mixes a lot of the songs from the game pixeljunk Eden if anyone's ever played that.
Kiyoshi:
I like most everything, but my favorite genres are metal and all kinds of electronic.

I like the mixes you have up. I've looked into being a DJ, but I really have no idea where to start :-\.

It depends on how you wanna do it. If you want to DJ with real turntables/CDJs, obviously you have to first buy a DJ setup which can cost a pretty penny. Then you have to learn how to beat match by ear which takes a lot of practice. The other way which you can do it is through your computer, which is much easier. All of the DJ programs for the computer will beat match the songs for you, so you can start practicing on set structure and song selection right away, which is how you control the crowd.
The simplest DJ program to get would be Virtual DJ. There are others that are more advanced, like Traktor and Abelton (which is like the hardest thing for me to figure out ever), but Virtual DJ does the job well enough. Once you get the program, pick a genre of electronic dance music you really like (Trance, House, Dubstep, Drum n' Bass etc.) and start building up your music collection around that genre.
As far as working on your technical skills, this guy

is really wonderful. He's a DJ tutor and he can teach you what to do and how to do it. Look at his early videos to get information on how to blend tunes, set and song structure, and how to use the EQ as these will probably be the most important things you want to know.
This should get going in the right direction. If you have any more questions, please ask :)
