Oy Phil, I smashed that like button so hard I almost broke my phone 😁 Very exiting stuff for cuz im just started dj ing in front of crowds a year and a half ago. I have always always believed that producing songs will set me apart from the rest, tho I have no clue where to even begin! Now I know. First I need to get a software like ableton... I just might hit u up on the gram. Much love, mate!
When I become a DJ in Ibiza I learnt this, some of them couldn't mix a cake let alone music. A couple of them were truly terrible, this was back in the vinyl days, so you could either mix or you couldn't, there was no option to fake it and stand behind a laptop.
Really eye opening video. I've had some ideas listening to music but never really give them the oportunity to exist aiming the idea of creating an original song from the ground up
When everybody mimmicks the sound it gets watered down and dies, then somebody comes along with new ideas. Its who comes up with the new ideas has the greatest success
Agreed 1000000% 👍 👍 👍 production and making your own sound is where its at. I never even though of that till I was 10 years into djing but had limited time and funds then. Still limited funds and time but at least I do play around with audacity and a couple other production programs but still not enough hours in the day between a full time job and gigs every weekend. I'm now 40 and still spinning tunes, not as many clubs these days but still rock out a wedding reception and other mobile gigs here in South Louisiana. Now to work on getting a new laptop... killed mine last weekend 3 minutes into a wedding ceremony!!! Thank God I had my phone and Spotify already cued up as a back up. Pro DJ Tip from DJ Groove and Rock-It Productions - ALWAYS HAVE BACKUP EQUIPMENT READY TO ROLL! I keep mirrored hard drives and thumb drives on hand and a couple extra laptops. However in the last 3 months I've killed 3 laptops 😅 crazy part is my 12 year old MacBook that hasn't been updated since 2011 outlasted 2 HP windows 10 laptops(3 and 4 years old) and a acer gaming laptop(2 years old) 😁
Thanks for the insight, I might get back into it because I've stopped dj'ing for a while I'm bored of having to keep an up to date library of new music to play, and I do feel like I fit into you theory there with ideas during listening
Great video. Also your Beard looks pristine sir! I like your cut, G! But to stay on subject, I recently discovered neural mix and DJs need to realize the possibilities this opens up for us TO have our own tracks/remixes...creating new beats on the fly using stem loops and the such and laying familiar lyrics into it. Whether we do it live or in the studio... then we can record our sets and go back and create permanent tracks from something we really like...and suddenly... folks like Tiesto will rotate out to make room for even better actual DJs who not only do the great DJ techniques but create remixes live! That you could later release for anyone who was at your show and wants to relive it! Omg i am really mind blown at how I see this is going to be my path going forward. Excited to find a way to get back to producing while also DJing...ive always only done one or the other...never both at the same time! 😍
yep - being a DJ since 1990 - opened up a world of other music possibilities.. isn't a bad thing to actually learn music theory and learn real instruments . I have played in bands as a DJ, r, a Keyboard player, drummer, guitarist, sample / texture , and have produced tracks since the mid 90s. There is business DJ and there is creative DJ. I have seen way more business DJ's than creative types. Even doing battle DJing in the 90s.. there was some real cookie cutter battle djs ..who couldn't mix a set in a club to make people dance .. but they could do a 3 minute amazing routine...and guess what..they don't do anything with music anymore.
Hasn't it always been that way?..... David Morales, Todd Terry, DJ Pierre? Frankie Kñuckles, Junior Vazqúez , Paul Okanfold.. Armànd Vanhelden etc..it's how you go from well known to Global Superstar DJ even if their mixing skills aren't the best.. although the Deejays I've named above are some of the Greatest Mixer's that have ever graced the wheels of steel!
@@DJPhilHarris totally agree with you on that.. there is something very special about being at an event, when the D.J/producer drops that signature Tune/Remix that their known for above everything else, I still get a kick out of listening to Todd Terry play CAN U FEEL IT, 30yrs after i 1st heard it
I wouldn’t bother with it on android,,,,either use a different format ,,ie. Record box ,or tractor ,,,or better still goby an iPad ,,even nd to at least get the basics ,I’ve been using djay since it came about with the ipad2
Very true mate . Only one DJ on this planet in my eyes worth the book and that’s Mr hype himself 😝 @james hype. Show these “artists” what’a real DJ is mate 😎🔥
Now I only have to learn how to dissect a track and how to find similar sounds in a composing software. Does anyone know some good tutorials (I don't have Instagram and need to learn at my own pace)?
I saw Tiësto in the old days playing in Amsterdam. The good old days were great, dj’s like Garrix, Guetta, Marsmellow and Calvin Harris are to commercial for me. The whole EDM scène is crap.
I’d get that track hidden aswell phil before it ends up in the hands of someone else 😂. Very true tho if that had been a guetta build it would have made £££££££££ .
I saw a guy on a DJ Facebook group try to explain the same thing many months ago, most people understood and agreed with him. But some of the older DJ's didn't agree with him, one guy named Carl Cox and Paul Oakenfold, saying that they were big before releasing their hits. It's funny that he had to go back a quarter of a century to prove a point. Another guy was really deluded and referred to himself as "famous" even tho he only made enough to pay a few bills 🤣. Famous in most people's eyes would mean you're regularly DJing all over the world for big mony. Not just know in your little genre 😂 They were utter idiots! Lol

Ah the good ol days of djing. Makes me want to dust off the 1200's and pull out the crates of vinyl now. 🎚🎛🎧🎤
Hesitant DJs: Remixing can be your gateway into production. No need for "musician skills". Find some stems, get to work. It is easier than you think.
This
Really eye opening video. I've had some ideas listening to music but never really give them the oportunity to exist aiming the idea of creating an original song from the ground up
Dude Awesome thx for the VID. i always looked from the perspective that i dont want steal or copy something.
I really needed this video. Thank you
I also love how your color light in the back ground seemed to adjust to your tone.. incredible. Like a mood light... omg
No seriously what is that light. That is amazing.
When everybody mimmicks the sound it gets watered down and dies, then somebody comes along with new ideas. Its who comes up with the new ideas has the greatest success
100% but I’m talking about getting momentum. Most DJs never start
This is the spice that makes life worth living these days
It is freaking awesome! Would be amazing to see your take on producing tutorials.. Starting with why to use what software and such
This video is absolutely right! You can't even get a gigg in my city unless you're a dj that produces original music.
What always discouraged me was my lack of knowledge of "wrights" "copyrights" for using the vocals etc.

Hi Phil awesome video. Jose Ramirez here. I cannot wait to work with you for the next year to really up my game.
Can’t wait :)
Golden Vid! Thank you so much!

I STARTED MAKING MY OWN MUSIC BECAUSE OF ALL THE COPYRIGHT ISSUES. THANK YOU FOR THAT ADVICE THOUGH IT'S AWESOME KEEP IT UP
Awesome this video but first i whant to learn to be a good dj 💪😎
All the djs you listed were first djs before producers. They know what they’re doing when it comes to djing itself.
Yepp true😅🎉
As always ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
THE RED-HEADED VERSION OF HUGH JACKMAN WITH A LITTLE DJ SWAG! 🤫😎🥳
Lol
Future rave is gonna be big!! 🔥🔥
Also what record pool do you get your tracks from?
What a banger!!!
Most of them didn't even write the hits they were famous for either.
Another conversation..........
@@blakezebell6054 . Most of them use ghostwriters
Yea ive researched it a bit. When you realize this it's mind-blowing how the industry works
@@blakezebell6054 . Calvin Harris is very hands on tho, he's a real producer.
He might have been in Michigan recently........... I've heard Fisher produces for other people
Need need NEED that remix
Do you have that drop somewhere to download? I love it
This guy talks truth. Let the failing haters hate
Love Your Videos!!👌🔥
I prefer to watch artists preform their music live.
I right now start producing music and hope i will do a good song in the furure
Hola bro como consigo el programa Djay pro 2 para Android me ayudas ???
I wouldn’t bother with it on android,,,,either use a different format ,,ie. Record box ,or tractor ,,,or better still goby an iPad ,,even nd to at least get the basics ,I’ve been using djay since it came about with the ipad2
How do you deal with copyright laws when you use a known song and make it your own sound ?
Very true mate .
Only one DJ on this planet in my eyes worth the book and that’s Mr hype himself 😝
@james hype. Show these “artists” what’a real DJ is mate 😎🔥
This video is really underrated 😑😑😑
The link to the other artist you mention 03:30 seems to be missing.
Sounds alerady sick
\\\\\\\\dope. But it sounds more like a bigroom track than a future rave thingy, ain't it? :)
Now I only have to learn how to dissect a track and how to find similar sounds in a composing software. Does anyone know some good tutorials (I don't have Instagram and need to learn at my own pace)?
I've been a dj for years i used to ne john dig weeds light dj at Saturdays night club
I wish I could create songs like in this video...it looks in videos so easy and when I sit in front of my computer it is not so easy for me
Book a calll to talk to me, at the end of this free training www.edmcoaching.com
Phil whitened his teeth. LOL.
I saw Tiësto in the old days playing in Amsterdam. The good old days were great, dj’s like Garrix, Guetta, Marsmellow and Calvin Harris are to commercial for me. The whole EDM scène is crap.
What software are you using ?!
Ableton
I’d get that track hidden aswell phil before it ends up in the hands of someone else 😂.
Very true tho if that had been a guetta build it would have made £££££££££ .
Hey Phil the Instagram link isn't available
Fixed

Sounds like you ghost produced for Hardwell once... Haha and who've you talked to.
It's basically called plagiarism...
People who actually make music should get paid more.
