Hi Jascar,
It is not easy without a network of people and would test the strongest resolve, but never impossible.
I would agree with Rollo re www.DigitalDjForum.com/forum or the like.
You could start gathering content, either research or personal knowledge, or combinations, which you'd have to do anyway to a certain degree.
Any potential subscribers won't stay if there is nothing of value/distraction, there.
Gather and assemble free dj related software, wallpaper (create if you can), graphics (make if you can), and consider an offline competition or session of some sort and at some point?
Re-post/mention any offerings that you have, on your home page pointing to optimised pages on such offerings. And likewise for anything on the forum itself, which may or may not evolve into sef urls.
Assuming that a market in Ireland may be smallish, at the moment  , you can/should consider all foreign english speaking ones, so seek out similar sites and forums everywhere. As you go, assemble lists (urls and such) which might fit later, if you decide to put a directory type/style thing together, either soon or in the future.
Prepare to work. I'm sure some of us will drop links around the planet once there is something to describe, if you know what I mean.
Modern networks are great and the people who experiment in music (whether they sustain it or not, which is largely irrelevant) seem to be students. Get/enlist buddies to use college noticeboards if they apply.
Find/bride with free software, a bebo merchant/veteran who might slip it in.
Find tools if possible, and tool makers if affordable. There are great tools around but you'll notice that the makers wont/dont optimise for them; perhaps you could and link out to such tools?
Find/list open source tools and software. It is a complete assumption that our modern bebo goers are familar with trawling the internet. Use this.
Get in the blogging networks or create a blog , and ensure that anything of value is linked and with proper/descriptive titles if thats the way you go.
Likewise for Squiddoo and swicki.eurekster.com (no follow but some traffic and search). You can write pages on swicki but don't go to too much trouble, where it should be on your own domain first. Or do both, and differently.
And whatever you do, don't start dropping business cards at music events because that would be wrong?
Join Orkut and ask Larry Mullen for tips, or a million bucks, but give him a choice.
