Great educational vid on transitions, you should do more tutorials...Very Few DJs on RUclips cater to open format, mobile DJs...Respect on your skills.
That was awesome vid btw ! You don't see much vids dj's doing weddings or parties on film like that. That's cool ! Plus let some people understand how hard it is for the set up and things go wrong and fix.
I loved how you brought in "Jessie's Girl" and I loved how you demonstrated at a live gig the correct way to mix in and out quickly and smoothly and not alienate your audience. Hats off to you bro! You did a great job!
Hi Terry, the thing with 80’s music is that beat gridding is not really an option as the beat grids are all over the place. Can you make a video or explain what would be the best way to prepare and mix 80’s tracks? Loved this video a lot, it is exactly what other bloggers don’t show. Loved the comments during mixing. Keep it up, love your channel.
Henk Haarmann try to prep your tracks before the parties or at the party on the fly setting up loops on little instrumental parts (with no vocals) if the song at the intro or after the break or chorus or before verses don’t give you enough instrumental break to blend in the next song... that’s like a little cheating getting around it trick to blend in the new song and gives you time for beat gridding usually in Serato you can save a lot of looping parts by locking them down and they stay recorded in whatever song forever until you delete it manually... I do that with a lot of the 80’s and 90’s songs or if you want to save yourself the trouble of spending time doing that... then just buy a lot of remixe packages that DJs sell on DJs websites like funky mix, select mix , party bangaz, retro remixes, etc there’s a few more if you google it...and they have a section that only dedicates/ caters to 70’s 80’s 90’s 2000’s or even older music and their remixes are so good with intros and outros and hype intros before the first verse...hope this helps you.
I guess you already knew you was rolling that cord wrong.🤣🤣🤣 I totally enjoyed this vlog. And the word you was looking for during sweet dreams was the "bridge" which most songs now a days don't have.
Great video. Always good to see the behind the scenes. See what transpires with the DJ before the event and to the event. Some people probably think that a DJs job is easy. Well they need to see a video like this, especially if they think of running a DJ business
I love this video it's like watching a day in the life of a DJ (Big Brother DJ style) had a good laugh too. Do more vlogs like this. Great Work Cleveland.
Amazing DJ demo with 80s tunes there I agree , solid DJ skills timing etc very good That party was so good and the vlog I thought I was there !!! I can't wait for more vlogs like this being a club DJ It was interesting to see how mobile DJ works
Guilty as charged... I sometimes do it as well when I’m done with a gig and I want to pack it all up together quick. I was thinking of buying a reel for that, just did not find the right one yet.
Very good vlog! I like the fact that you open this up to the process, the good and the bad, the ugly, the unexpected, but the reason why you do what you do. I'm going on year 17 DJing and the one advice that I will probably give the young guys who starting out or wanting to start, is to look at a video like this to let him see the behind-the-scenes look and the prep that goes into it.
Bravo my brother!!! Love the way you DJed the event. I'm thoroughly convinced that no one knows that the sounds they are currently partying to are orchestrated by me LOL. I've been djing since 1980 & now I've had a residency since 2009 every Fri & Sat night. Love geeking to your info keep it going Bro! Bye the way I'm also the sound engineer & I use a DDJ SB3 or what ever else I can hook into another channel controlled by the crossfader, lol.
Wow great job on sharing a day in yur life with us. Plus I was amazed to see someone who has E. Murphy "Party All the Time" as their favorite song...😁😁😁
"There is nothing worse than a man alone with his thoughts," indeed. Nice gig log. Another day in the life of a professional. Looking good sir. Sounding good too. Keep'em comin. Much love from cali north.
Being a mobile dj is hard work...playing the best of the best of many genres and making sense of it all requires creativity. As always Cleveland delivers. I admire djs like Roger Sanchez, Carl Cox, Eric Morillo, Laidback Luke - they get to play their set probably with little or no restrictions....cheers to C Terry😃🎈🎉🔥
Finally!! A full day in the life video!!! Ok so I sensed a little sourness about playing that Eddie.....c'mon don't tell me you don't like "Party All The Time"? That's the joint!!! Lol I open each and every wedding set with that.
Thanks for the vlog , i have an 80's corporate gig tomorrow. they wanted me to send them a list of my 80's music. I told them the list is to big, just send me a list of music you may want for the hour cocktail and eating period. She sent 18 songs and said could you play them in this order. SMH, but its a repeat client that i perform for year round. So one event with a play in this order event will not kill me. Its not a dance party. Keep em dancing
Great job! Thank you for your shared knowledge and insight. I am a Buffalo NY DJ, owner of The Record DJ Company which is mainly just me. I have been struggling with the idea of hiring other DJs so I can grow my business but am afraid of putting my name on someone else's work. Again thank you. Excellent video. Keep doing great things.
dude; this was an amazing example of the life of a dj and business owner; you should definitely do more footage of this experience more.get more vlogging cameras and mics for all of your dj's to show their experiences.
Your gig logs make me very happy to do club/"rave"/festival djing. Show up with a usb stick and go, lol. (Obviously not that simple, but still) You definitely put in the work for the money you earn!
Would you be willing to do a video and how do you mix those 80s tracks? I’m sure tons of people would relay to LYNN because it’s not the easiest to do but you rocked it
Damn bro is the first time I saw u without a cap 😀😀just like a egg. Great video and your doing it perfect 1.30 is enough. Keep it up and yes just like the other comment make more videos like this.
Good mixing and song selection. The 2 minute rule works in certain situations. In the area where I live, people love to line dance and they don’t like those cut that short. I was at a party where a DJ was in and out of songs and people started complaining. She was an excellent DJ and her mixes were on point but she kinda lost her crowd at a point.
80s my favourite era, great vlog buddy, nice to see the trials and tribulations of a working DJ, you swapped to RB? I did also, love my 1000. I’ve started the 2.5 minutes mixing, still on the fence? Keep em coming 🎤🎧😎
I really enjoyed the vid , that is the content I like there party , how did it go, what did you do, transitions was on point DJ, really I could care less about gear , because I have a 1200$ investment I'm going to get the best out of that, now whether to use serato or vdj is relevant .lol way to go dj
Great educational vid on transitions, you should do more tutorials...Very Few DJs on RUclips cater to open format, mobile DJs...Respect on your skills.
Dude... your transitions were really on point! It's really difficult to blend 80s pop music but you did it effortlessly. Awesome!!
That was awesome vid btw ! You don't see much vids dj's doing weddings or parties on film like that. That's cool ! Plus let some people understand how hard it is for the set up and things go wrong and fix.
I loved how you brought in "Jessie's Girl" and I loved how you demonstrated at a live gig the correct way to mix in and out quickly and smoothly and not alienate your audience. Hats off to you bro! You did a great job!
DJ Reality show! I could watch a lot of this. I couldn't agree more on the 2 minute rule. Keep it moving.
Wow! This is perfect djing of 80's music! Hats off! Respect man!!!
Wow Terry that's really good vlogs mate, you should have your own DJ production episodes on Netflix man , absolute quality fella 👍
An 80's party would just make my year, great vids Terry

Mazu Sub that is some solid advise. Tried beat gridding just per phrase but was not enough. Like the part about the remixes as well. Thanks so much.
Great mix.... 80's!! Its not easy to know every hit and put it in order.... Great job... 🎧
Ive watched so many videos of you, but this is by far my favorite one, because Ive actually learned 1 or two things.
Big up.
+Beats&Wheels glad to be of service
I guess you already knew you was rolling that cord wrong.🤣🤣🤣 I totally enjoyed this vlog. And the word you was looking for during sweet dreams was the "bridge" which most songs now a days don't have.
Wow, some killer mixes there with those 80's tracks. BTW Terry, I have a killer hora medley if you ever need it.
Nice gig log and very good clean mixing. Hope to see more of these. Thanka for sharing.
3 YEARS AGO...AND I STILL GOT POINTERS FROM YOU AND SETTING UP AND MUSIC PREPERATION...WHEW...THANKS CLEVELAND # Stillintraining!!
Some of the best 80s mixing I've seen. Great job👍
Great video. Always good to see the behind the scenes. See what transpires with the DJ before the event and to the event. Some people probably think that a DJs job is easy. Well they need to see a video like this, especially if they think of running a DJ business
Love the "day in the life" style of video. Keep crushing it.
great video with insight into your business. i like the less than 2 min mixing. Also shows your working for that money!
Great 80s selection. Got me inspired to rethink my 80s crates.
Great video! Glad you're willing to share those mixing tips, I realize how much practice I need though.
Eddie Eddie Eddie....love it!! Have to check my library to see if I have it in the rotation. 😁😁😁
I love this video it's like watching a day in the life of a DJ (Big Brother DJ style) had a good laugh too. Do more vlogs like this. Great Work Cleveland.
Amazing DJ demo with 80s tunes there I agree , solid DJ skills
timing etc very good
That party was so good and the vlog I thought I was there !!!
I can't wait for more vlogs like this
being a club DJ It was interesting to see how mobile DJ works
Awesome job rocking that 80s party! The Pioneer DDJ 1000...solid choice 👍🏼
Outstanding work and great mixing with the music!🎤🤙🏼
You're doing a great job putting out different content than most of the DJ's I subscribe to on youtube. Thanks
+J Davis 👍🏾
Awesome, all around. You are definitely a DJ to look up to.
Your flow in between songs was on point!! Love your videos bro!!
Great video as always. Great mixing, but I'm surprised at the number of people surprised by the fact that your actually mixing.
+DJ Ralph Productions DJ weird right? I had to show a little. People were questioning whether I could DJ. Saying I am all talk.
“Don’t talk about the way I roll cords” as I was about criticize you for it 😂
Guilty as charged... I sometimes do it as well when I’m done with a gig and I want to pack it all up together quick. I was thinking of buying a reel for that, just did not find the right one yet.
Use the Home Depot orange cord manager. They are cheap and efficient.

damn dude, your good. 80's mixing is not easy and you make it look effortless
Phrasing and transitions on point. Well done!
I love breaks! They get me into a blissful zone :)
+r mac me too. :-)
"There is nothing worse than a man alone with his thoughts," indeed. Nice gig log. Another day in the life of a professional. Looking good sir. Sounding good too. Keep'em comin. Much love from cali north.
That looked like fun! Throwbacks are so much fun especially when you used to DJ in that era
+Lisa Bodine I think you just called me old. 😀
@@ClevelandTerry not old... seasoned!

Never knew cutting gas lines was a thing at Uhaul. Good mix examples. Gotta keep it interesting 👍🏾🕺🏾🎧
Didn't know this was a thing either. I had to Google this for more examples... One thief caught himself on fire... XD
Clean transitions brother! Nice work
dude; this was an amazing example of the life of a dj and business owner; you should definitely do more footage of this experience more.get more vlogging cameras and mics for all of your dj's to show their experiences.
+Pink Panta that’s a lot of editing. 😀

You definitely put in the work for the money you earn!

Awesome video, good ideas for mixing 80s music.

Hello Cleveland did you replace the DDJ 1000 with the Rane One? Lou
