well first off you need something to make your beats on m8.
could be software or hardware.
What have you got? PC/MAC ? etc
Once youve got your software or hardware best place to go is Youtube - search for tutorials on your hard/software.
Come back with more info about what you have or how much you wanna spend etc and we can help out more.
I have a PC, Windows 7. What type of software do you recommend? Also, what equipment would I need to buy, I can pretty much afford anything =p
I'd say proper monitors or at least some good headphones are the first thing I would buy. You wanna be able to hear what you are doing after all. Even if you're not producing and just listen to tunes or Djing. It's just a more quality experience and you will learn how things should soundGetting decent speakers is advisable but maybe not straight away in case you dont like producing.

lol
none are "easy" unfortunately mate.
just dedicate some months to learning it and you'll be away. It's an "on going" thing.
I've been making tunes using Cubase for about four years now and i'm still learning new things about the software and production all the time.

and no. a 5.1 system is not a good idea unless your making surround sound music/film effects.
you want a pair of studio monitors.
And that is actually an advantage. It;s too easy to torrent all sorts of plug ins, just click trough presets but not learning what they actually do.... Just get one DAW for the start, stick to it, learn it properly. You can definitely create a good tune with just the build in tools of whatever daw you choose. It's all about the time you put into itAnother option could be Reason as a beginner. This offers everything you will need from the word go! There is no VST support though so you will be limited to what they give you
Also does anyone know what type this is?:

I realize it's a remix but what genre (if any)
Umm I'd call it electronica/breakbeat in my opinion.
To be fair, who knows anymore..
