What else can one say except Ubuntu if you are a new user. Request (free) shipit.ubuntu.com; Install it; do: sudo apt-get install wine.

Welcome to the forums!

Take a look at the link in my signature for lots of good information on getting started with Linux.

Mandriva, OpenSuse, and Ubuntu are all considered good options for new users. Hope you have lots of fun with whatever you should choose.

Since you are a DJ, you need a distribution that specialises in Multimedia. So check out this distributions: DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD.
They come with tons of free or open source programs for multimedia so you can have your own studio up and running in no time!
