This weekend I DJed another Party (1st Birthday Party / Baptism Party) and shot another GIG LOG for you guys. In this Vlog I also talk about the Ups and Downs of being a Nightclub DJ and compare mobile DJs to Nightclub DJs. I give you some insight as to why I'm transitioning from a Nightclub DJ to Mobile DJ and also share with you my thoughts on the DJ Industry.

My man! You arent kidding about the club life! Once i was out of college, i was done with clubs. Too much turnaround, and too many Pre-Madonna promoters. I do miss the big crowds, but the pay of mobile work keeps my bills paid. Your editing skills are getting better every upload!
You know it, its a tough job... Thanks for the love!
your right on the money bro. do gigs you enjoy, get paid little money. gigs you dont enjoy bigger money. weddings, sweet 15's-16's. i got burnt out on wedding. you can only hear bunny hop so many times.
Yeah, man mobile gigs are not easy lol
Bro big fan. you're honest and humble, keep up the good work.
Thank you, really appreciate your kind words.
Mobile DJ all the way, different crowd almost everytime, got the chance to design our own setup, and it pays alot better then nightclub ;)
Thats awesome man - I still need to invest in equipment but, its so expensive.
Bayardo A Rugama dont buy alot of small light, go for more expensive but less light. i both two american dj inno spocket spot. i take 5 min to install and you can mount it under your speaker stand!
You have a GREAT video crew. Love the camera air showing of the buildings.
No video crew, record it all myself
I just started watching these videos and I love your positive attitude. I love everything about your videos. Thanks for posting, I followed you on snapchat just to keep up with more of your videos.
+Luis Martinez thanks man, really appreciate it!
Thank you so much for posting this. You are totally right, you need a great balance of nightclubs, private parties (like this one), corporate events and launch parties, and finally creating your own events where you are in control.
No problem, Thanks for watching.
I'm just beginning to DJ Full time and it was great hearing your take on the night club scene. I thought about starting up a log on my endeavors to start up my company and your video is a great model to show your personality and your work.
Go for man.... Its really fun. Good luck, Id love to see how it turns out!
Well done. You managed this rather unenjoyable situation very well.
PRX 712s their amazing. Just got my pair to go with my 715 xlf subs. The sound is so clear. Also great gig log
+DJ Rick Web thanks man - those are my favorite speakers congrats man!
Nice Gig Log. I Like it very Much. Very entertaining., my favorite part start at 9:03 Es verdad lo que dices de los club vs. las Fiestas privadas. DOS MUNDOS DIFERENTES.
Thumbs upp! Man you're editing and presentation is phenomenal! GREAT VIDEO MAN! I'm 100% with you on so many levels about Night Club vs Mobiles. Let's LINK UP!
Thanks for your kind words man - really appreciate it. Where you from?
+Bayardo A Rugama (DJ Barr) I'm from Fresno, California. You have serious video making talent and you're creating amazing content man. Definitely taking some pages out of your book.
You've come a long way bro lol keep it up.
I like the positive energy you bring seems like you got a grip on this mobile dj business how long u been at it .
Hola Dj Barn excelente edicion y sobre todo las partes que filmas con el dron! Una consulta! Por que en los eventos no usas truss o algun tripode para las luces? Saludos desde Argentina.✋👍
Saludos amigo! Gracias por ver mi video. Y Bueno no uso por que no tengo... Si Los clientes me piden la rento
Love your vlogs man! Could you make a video on how you went about getting your gigs? I know theres a million others but i feel they dont go into as much detail
thanks man, will do!
You're right, mobile DJ game requires more work and money out of your pocket, but if you do it right it can be a steady successful business..as far as nightclubs, promoters look at you as dispensable, DJ game is just over saturated, unless you're headlining, have a huge following and producing you're own stuff ..it's hard to stay consistent in this game! Persistence is key!
Yes its a big investment to become a mobile DJ... The game has changed it completely different now, and these places that open up don't last. Persistence is the key, very true!
muy buen gig log te felicito siempre sigo tu canal esta entretenido. quisera preguntarte si puedes hacer un video de como comunicarte con la gente para animar las fiesta si puedes dar algunos tips. gracias
Saludos... Si, es buena idea he tenido muchas preguntas sobre eso. Voy a tener que hacer un video sobre el tema. Gracias!
Hey Barr, awesome content as usual... I have a Mercury Mariner (same size as your escape) and I always have issues with loading. I'm interested to see how you load in, or maybe you've already done a vid on it. If so can you point me in that direction... Thanks in advance and keep doing your thing!!
-DJ Dreamy
+Darius Woods hey man, thanks for watching... It's like playing Tetris lol - I usually just start with the subs in the back and work my way up ... But, honestly it's a struggle trying to fit everthing inside of it lol
Hey man great video keep up the work and I have a Question how do you learn to talk in the mic, thanks
Hey man, thanks for watching! I've been getting a lot of questions about this subjects, Planning on making a video about it but, short hand just practice at home talking on the mic, pretending to be talking to a crowd.
Your vid are awesome, keep up the great work
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying the videos!
Hey bro videos are great enjoy them a lot. Lots of energy. I'm a mobile Dj and been doing it for a while now Im also a Dj at a bar. I'm trying to get more into the club scene. Any advice on where to start ?
Go to local places and talk to owners, promoters and DJs - something will stick. Just keep pushing.
Your making us Nicaraguans proud of you. Continue doing what your do you have great personality.You seem to have an affect on ppl overall you have good vibes on the screen.
+Marge Arriola thank you, your comment really put a smile on my face.
Bayardo A Rugama
😉 Que alegre! Lo debes de estar eres super funny! Saludos desde Sydney, Australia de una pinolera!🍵🌴🍍

Una pregunta, que me recomiendas para empezar? tengo $250 una Numark Mixtrack Pro 3 o una Pioneer DDJ-SB2
Gracias... Yo Digo que el Pioneer Es mejor!
Hey Barr, saludos from Chicago. Great video bro! Listen, I have been out of the game for about 8 years. Kids, work etc. Question for you and anyone in this forum, I am very used to doing hispanic events, weddings, quinces etc. However, I am looking to transition into English weddings, parties, etc. Is there a website, forum, list of music that is a must have for weddings?
Hey man, thanks for watching.... to be honest i don't know any fourms... but, try looking up "must have wedding songs playlist" on google - I usually download my english music from djcity.com
you're funny guy! I've been DJing a lot longer and you definitely keep the Vibes High. damn DJ from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m.?! I hope you got some decent $$$ out of it.
I Like your DJ bits that you vlog. I am going to start vlogging my casino parties. I get the issues of where to setup sometime. Lucky for you that you only need a space for a table and set up the speakers. I sometimes have to figure out anywhere from 1 to 20 tables. It's great when you have a ton of space. We get repeat halls and hotels. Those are the best. Hardly ever do I have to deal with young kids. High School age at the youngest for the most time. Rock On!!
Thank you... Go for it, would love to see how that works. Kids are not always the easiest to deal with. lol Thank you as always for watching friend! :)

Man, you're really inspiring me! Your vlogs are great man and you really put in a lot of work and it shows! I just graduated and can FINALLY start it up again. Hope to get on your level and maybe one day collab!
Thanks man, Congrats on graduating! Yeah bro, I am down to collab. HMU and we'll do something.

Hey DJ Bar this dj el padre de todos
i just started as a dj but i got no luck of people booking any suggestion on what i should do?
thanks
Yo bro! Love your vids.. Would you mind making a video on being an MC ? Sometimes I find it hard to do both .. Some tips would be great!
Thank you.. Yes, I will defiantly be making a Video on MCing been getting a lot of question about the subject. I will have to make one.
I love it!!! this was too funny!
+stewardsproductions thanks for watching man!
Hey man sick videos,
how would you rate the JBL's without the sub ?
Thanks man, I love them.... the prx line of JBLs are the best.
somebody has some Neistat inspiration:) Great video man!
Casey is the man! Thanks for watching.
Damn I love your videos man!!!
Thank you, really appreciate the love. :)
Bayardo A Rugama :D
Your videos are really interesting! What software do you use to edit the video?
Thank you, I use Final Cut Pro!
did you buy the speakers or are they where you rent them from
I rented them, Cant afford speakers right now lol they are expensive.
thx for sharin... cheers,
Thanks you for watching my friend! :)
Love your videos!
Thank you for watching! 😊
how did u how the setting on the prx speakers on the bk... I do own the same.. I also have one sub
i have no idea... i leave them on the basic setting.... and the speakers I had on main.
I do like mobile discoing and doing night clubs on my channel too. but like you said kids party's cab be annoying from previous history. Night clubs are the best but life span are short. Did a 50th recently and my speakers blow towards the end so looking to purchase some new speakers they look good and sound good those Jbls barr 😀
That sucks man... thats one of the reasons I'm not a fan of mobile gigs equipment is expensive.
Always guessing what kind of jacket is that? I been looking everywhere for one of those
to be honest I have no clue... ill check it when i get home and get back to you lol
+Bayardo A Rugama (DJ Barr) thanks man just looks so comfy and warm haha like down here it's hella cold haha but thanks man!!
I did as you did, worked for many many years as a nightclub DJ but all 7 nights a week! I did this for about 15 years, but as you say the money went down as the "bedroom DJs" came out to play! They worked for less than half the going rate, and got work - lots of it - but they can't keep a crowd for a couple of weeks let alone 15 years! Soon they lost the crowds, and the managers / promoters came back but now can't afford to pay our rates! - Their loss!!! I went back to mobile and radio work, but missed the big crowds so have almost stopped myself, I just go out on big gigs!! I pass my work on to my mates.
I also can't stand the "Acting" that club and personality DJs use, for example the over dramatic use of their whole body to turn up one knob even having to bend right over the mixer to do this!!! WHY?? is it that difficult?
anyway good to see you are still working hard!
regards, Shep.
Thats crazy man, Idk how you did it for so many years - Its so stressful. I agree with you the money is just not there anymore. Thank you for watching.
Barr como siempre, todo tuanis. y yo igual yo deje los club por que no pagan mucho. el mobil es un poco mas de trabajo por eso uno lleva ayudantes. jiji pero bueno Bro, saludes.
Saludos hermanos! Si, cuando sea un DJ famoso tendré que contratar a ayudantes. Por ahora trabajo como pobre jajaja
nice video. . keep up the work. .
will do! :D
yo he trabajado 15 años como Dj móvil. en algunas ocasiones como Dj en un bar, son totalmente diferentes las maneras de tocar en un bar y de tocar en distintos eventos como: bodas, bautizos, 15 años o fiestas de cumpleaños en casa, en todos encuentra las atmósferas diferentes a veces regresa a casa frustrado, a veces regresa a casa muy contento, encontrarás de todo tipo de ambiente en el caso de DJ móvil. que tengas suerte.
Saludos amigo. Si, es verdad las fiestas privadas y discotecas son dos mundos diferentes.
DJ Barr did you buy that jbl prx 715 and 718 or rent
No these are my friends... he was in my gig log. I don't own any equipment.
when djing do you need to pay for the music your going to play?
Yes
cool gig log!
thanks man!
What song is that on 7:14?
Did you film the sky view footage just for this gig log?
+Jeremy Nolf yes, wanted to switch it up lol
How did you get your intro name to say in the beginning of the song how do u make your intro
not sure I understand what you are asking.... are asking about the drop that says DJ Barr or the video intro that says BarrNation
+Bayardo A Rugama (DJ Barr) the drop at DJ Barr email me at Kyleshaw075@gmail.com
Where those speakers 15 inch subs or 12 inch
Haha you used a picture of the praterdome in your thumbnail one of the biggest clubs in my home town Vienna
haha small world... i just typed in nightclub on google and it came up lol
Nice video bro
What is a crate?
good gig. what is your light
Thanks.. To be honest I don't know what the lights are my friend let me borrow then... They are an American DJ moving head I think
Well, I'm a nightclub dj, I play well and most of the time we reach full house, however I'm always worried about my future like "what am I gonna do when people get bored of this place" (like you said) thats why I'm searching for some gigs just like you. Thanks for the video 😃
+volodimir holovin no problem, thanks for watching... I DJ at nightclubs too but, it's not steady
I have a gig on the 28th and its my first gig I don't know what to play its a 18th b day and a graduation I have music but just don't know how to do it or start it she said I can just play background music but I also want to mix.. help
Ask her is she has any request/specific songs that she would like you to have for the party. I usually play like throw older songs to start the party with and save the new hot tracks for after dinner when everyone is done eating and ready to party.
ok she said she liked throw back and she wanted spanish too im mexican and i have trouble finding that i got dj city for all of that but they only have like new songs and a bunch of remixes.. any ideas where to get throw backs and spanish
I know exactly how you feel club to mobile both are great but both have their issues my door is always open to you I wish you the best of health happiness and success Rocky
In deed they both have their downside. Thank you for the support... really appreciate it.
Mobile over Clubs any day! Like you said it’s too much too worry about in clubs! Picky on music and what songs to play. And mobile I feel you have a little more freedom!
One word of advice, the DJ calls the shots in where to set up. You are the God of the party besides who's the party is it for. Other than that it looks like the little party went just right. Keep it up and good luck...Oh BTW, try in getting a controller instead of your cdj's. To bulk of a set-up. Kontrol S8 perfect for mobile djing. Is what I use. I sold my cdj's 2000 n djm 800..
You should look into the Pioneer SZ
I'll check it out...
I would like to know more about it...
DJ Barr did you buy thats jbl prx 715 and 718
No I did not buy these, They are my friends.
how did u make your dj name?? (sound effect)
I get them online... check out the video I made on DJ Drops
Why u recording the party u dont let heard the music that u play there ?
Good stuff.
Thanks bro!
little bastards were so annoying lmao!!!
buen trabajo bro saludos de tu amigo Dj lalo
Gracias mi amigo!
Good DJ bro
You'll have many more views and subscribers, you do very well edited video and much calidad.Congrats!
what do you recommend me? I have $ 250 a Mixtrack Pro 3 or a Pioneer DDJ-SB2
Thanks man... I would go with the Pioneer all day!
Cool Video. My thoughts about Mobile dj Vs A club Dj. First it all I've never Dj in club before and I'm not interested one bit in doing that. Big respects to all the club Dj's out there but it is just not my thing. Why? well for many reasons for instance, what you were saying in the beginning of the video about club dj is many of the reasons. Also, at a club ppl don't really appreciate your talent as a dj and they don't know how much work is actually behind every gig. Not into that. Being a mobile Dj is something i really enjoy you interact with the ppl your clients at every gig and also they will tell you if you suck or if the party was great. For a mobile Dj every gig is a challenge you must be creative to stay on top and book more gigs. What the means is that you have to perform your greatest at every gig to book more gigs. Being a mobile dj is a great feeling that i don't know how to describe. I started from scratch as a dj bought me a simple set and since than every day has been a big change. Now is not just a DJ I've Created a Company Called It's Live Entertainment because like i said before being a mobile dj makes you be creative and get better. Thats my simple thought about it and i respect every DJ out there. It's not and easy business respect to all of you.
I wonder what the name of the promoter that thumbed this down is. hahaha This video is spot on. Nightclub DJs Life Expectancy < Mobile Event DJ
LMAO thats a good one, it probably was a promoter who thumbs it down. Thanks for watching man!
Hola que tal? Maybe you can better use a black cover for your table because everyting is allready black, i think it will looks better!
Thanks for the suggesting... I will keep that in mind for next time.
could you translate what you are saying through the mic? Maybe with subtitles?
So far: Great Videos!
Many greetings from germany
Thanks for the suggestion... I will have to start doing that. I just added an annotation to this video with the translation. Thank you for watching. Cheers!
dope vlog
thanks man!
+Bayardo A Rugama (DJ Barr) yw. I enjoy your vlogs
Do you ever worry about clients or their guests seeing your videos and taking it personally that you rate their party 1 star? just curious especially with return customers...
Hey, great question... I haven't had an issue with that because I rated my personal experience of the party, not the actual party itself. Its a rating of how I felt and how the party went for me. I mentioned in the video that it was my fault I was not connecting nor feeling the energy in the room because, I had a 12 hour DJ Shift. I understand how it can be taken the wrong way, but thats what this channel is for - these are Video LOGs about my life, it is by no ways a means of promoting myself as a DJ. I post these video to entertain. - If the people I DJed for were in fact to watch this video, they should defiantly pay attention to what I said because it was a review of my DJing experience not their party. The clients were actually very content about my service. If you watch my other videos you'll see that I do my best to make Entertaining. I also include a lot of sarcasm in the video (Like the Intro), I include jokes in them (Like the Simpsons: Joke in this one) to add comic relief and keep the viewers entrained. That is my goal; to make videos that people want to see. I do agree with you and see why people might get upset about it but, at the end of the day I do this all in good fun, to entertain my youtube audience. Its not really a video to be taken serious. My goal is entertainment.
Im a dj so thanks for the tips and info
welcome! :)
good job dj
thanks man!
GOOD ONE DJ GLG LOG BAYARDO A RUGAMA
What song was that on 5:14
James Bay - Let it go
hola cuanto cobras.. yo estoy empezando..toco en casas y el tocado en algunos evento..saludos dj alex.
Depende del evento. Puedes cobrar por fiesta o por hora.... Usual mente cobro de $100-$200 la hora dependiendo al tamaño de la fiesta.
GoPro camera?
+Kenntry Bynum no go pro are no good for filming gig logs - cannon g7x
you should do like a video here you are mixing live.
+jeylen angel RUclips won't allow you to use copyrighted music
you are and you good with your videos
thanks you!!!! :)
:)
I'm at a field trip at school
thanks
The two worlds are different bro i feel club doing is a little more easier for the fact that everyone at the club is hyped and good vibes. it takes a mad wiz dj to get a random crowed to dance its more complex to a crowed who isn't ready to dance and waiting on who's going first hahah. i had this happen to me many times. I'm Gonna Start Posting vids on my channel doing gig logs and club/hot spots in my valley to see if it may resemble to yours anyways being mobile is a little more complex in my behalf.
Agreed, the clubs are so much easier.... also a lot more fun, mobile gigs are hard word. Looking forward the seeing some of your videos, keep me posted.
+Bayardo A Rugama (DJ Barr) thanks bro let's keep doing what we do best and do it for the music
As always, great production work .. Did both for years, then live remotes from the clubs. Private events are a different animal then Dj ing in the club, also way back in the day before promoters, the DJ brought the crowds. Promoters are the bottom feeder's of the tank. Club owners are so out of touch with their clientele, they are at the mercy of these promoter's .. too muh to type ... have to do a comment video for you on this subject.. but yes, you are on target with what you said about the club work
Yeah the game has changed its a messy business... At the end of the day I just enjoy playing informs of people.. Thanks for always supporting.
What song is that on 5:14
James Bay - Let it go
+Bayardo A Rugama (DJ Barr) that remix mix
Club DJ: You are bang on..First they would say..take 50% of the entry Ticket price, 7-10% of the drink payments excluding cover charges. But any given moment the income of the Pub should be more than INR 250000 i.e $4000. Its not about the talent they care of they all need is income..Ófcourse they are into business...
Do u ever get tired of DJing? or DJing for the same people over and over?
I do get tired of DJing. I don't really notice the people so I don't really mind DJing for the same people, its always a different party.
Let it go remix song name? :D
Bearson Remix
ha ha ha I understand what u went through....lol.I had to said over the microphone that next time I do a Kid''s birthday I will take counselling and come...lol..oh Man they put their fingers everywhere..One kid touched the hot Smoke machine Nozzle..Kicked one of the Flood light...and were shouting over the microphone...Kids were having riots all over...YOu will be over the place...Hahahaaa...lol
I would never Dj in a nightclub. Growing up in Philly I know how you feel their is no money in the club. Since retiring from the Army and leaving in Savannah GA, I found that mobile djing is were its at. Weddings are the best. You can make $1000 from one wedding for about 4hours. However you do have you fair of bottom feeders that what everything for a little bit. Beware of those type of people, who max out there budget, then try to get to do 4 hours for $250.00. Greet videos bro keep rockin
I agree some will pay thousands for the hall and skimp on the dj who keeps the party going.
Yes, its true its a tough business.... Wedding are my favorite too! Thanks for watching.
exactly!
aun me pregunto por que no hablas en espanol
si, hablo pero no en los videos. jaja
Why not use live music footage
RUclips copyright issues and the sound is usually terrible from the camera when I am djing...
Amazing series but what are these parties man. You deserve bigger crowds with crazier people
I wish lol
keep fucking going dude!!
thanks man!
