    PLAYLIST! PLAYLIST! PLAYLIST! So True!!! I just DJ'd a Weedfest in Maine on Saturday for a group of people who have bene smoking & eating edibles since the Wednesday prior... I put together a playlist of Mashups with songs people love, mixed them up and built each song with crowd participation... By the end of my set, I had 90% of the attendees out of their tents and up-front dancing... The ENERGY I felt from the crowd after that performance was SICK!

      True stuff. Just last gig I tried out something different since I became bored with beatmatching. Because I knew this was a tek party I purposefully combined hellfish's you need more crack with mungo jerry's in the summertime both in original bpm. People were already pissed because of a small merzbow encore about 3 tracks before to get everybody in the mood. Next thing you know theres bottles flying through the room like javelins, people beat the shit out of each other left and right and I could hear myself saying this set needs some laid back pitched to at least 230bpm with the bass distorted to fuck. That was an experience I won't forget and reminded me once again what I love about music haha!

      Also from Bangor Maine! 🥂 you should go check out my RUclips channel and lemme know what you think! I’m just starting off and I don’t even have a ddj or cdj yet. Just using my iPhone and my laptop with virtual DJ! Using an actual DDJ would be so much easier 😩

    This is some of the best advice I heard! I literally played my first DJ gig ever a few months back, and I had NO equipment, only a laptop. I downloaded Serato software, and made the best possible dance playlist I could think of. I learned how to make a decent transition between two songs in a couple of days and just played the gig. Mind you right before I went on stage I thought I was gonna shit my pants thinking I don't know anything about dj'ing and wtf am I doing, and then I had the best dj gig ever!!! People were coming up to me saying this was the best time they had on a dancefloor in ages, and I couldn't believe it. It's all about being in the shoes of the dancer and playing music people will enjoy dancing to. Good luck everyone!

    @archer4922 2 года назад +20

    Pro tip that I put in another video of yours that I learned very early on in the 90's when I started djing after a couple big hiccups at gigs.
    ALWAYS HAVE BACKUP SYSTEMS, MIRRORED HARD DRIVES AND THUMB DRIVES ARE A MUST. Also if doing a mobile gig like a wedding have a Spotify list ready on your phone or tablet if a catastrophic failure happens like I had last weeknd (3 mins into a wedding ceremony my main laptop fried, super loud pop over the speakers then smoke and fire from the back of the hp😬), Spotify saved the ceremony, had a old laptop for the reception but kept locking up mid mix most of the night but even with the dead air it was still a great reception. 👍

    I definitely think you're right for beginners to refrain from using too many effects but I think it is crucial to becoming a successful Jockey because you can definitely use effects to improve the listeners experience. Especially with reverb on vocals and a repeater on drum beats. I personally think it makes you feel more like an artist when you're able to do effects because your utilising your comprehension of a song you have heard a million times.

    • @EdgarJBraz
      @EdgarJBraz 2 года назад +8

      I agree with that guy 👆🏼. specially if your audience are mostly young people, by that👈🏼 i meant to say, that as a young dj i do love to party around clubs where the dj uses a lot of effects to almost changing the song to a different beat, and that’s where the magic happens! you know the song you’re listening too, but you never herded remixed like that before, them you simply love it because “you know the song”…

    Been DJing since the 80's using Technics 1200s until CDs came to the picture. Briefly left the hobby and definitely been meaning to make the change to these new mixers. Nothing like doing your research and finding great vids like yours for guidance. Subbed.

    One thing you forgot to mention is that when djing you have to be able to read the crowd this helps you decide what music is keeping the people on the dance floor plus some dj sets takes you on a journey. I vary my mixing style from drop beat fade in out filtering and beat matching

    One of my dj buddies used to always mix remixed versions from the record pool back in the day. I asked him why and he said it sounded cool my response was nobody has heard that version...and it was killing the vibe at his gigs. I suggested starting with the orgiginal and blend in the remix for effect and it worked. People like familiarity but you can train them up on the remix just don't over do it.
