You might want to send this one to the BMX crowd.

I do a little dj but not enough to give you any advice on which frame would work best. I just put to gether an Azonic Eliminator (bought for almost nothing) with some cheepy parts. That way if I screw up it does not hurt as bad(financially).

The roast / stuff / chute (no longer exists) are awesome for djing. Buy it a little small. So if you think you could ride a 19" or xl buy a medium. When djing you really want something you can whip around. Those geometries are perfect for it. You may want to look at getting steel as it flexes just a bit. The flex takes some of the stress of the body. Take a look at the Kona Scab.
