  • Super dope video, tbh I first thought it was going to be a piss-take, but I liked it. You’re not incorrect, as technically mixing almost any kind of 4/4 music is pretty easy on the ‘one track to another’ level. Beat-matching tracks to DJing is like pedaling a to bicycle-riding ie. the most basic skill that will need to become automatic to *start* the activity. Outside the existing (or not) fan base and promo skills & means and getting booked there’s A TON that goes into it, like knowing your music and planning your set, reading your crowds. If you’re not an influencer with a following already, but a producer -DJ, then the music you play matters even more, as at least part of the crowd will expect your own music and your own exclusive edits etc which’ll make your specific set stand out musically from others. (But I’m sure Mr. Francis told you about all the above and more 😊) 👊🏻

Shaq is also on record stating that he has been DJing throughout his entire life and there are clips of him spinning while he was at LSU.

    • Exactly, DJing is “sorta” easy when you have everything handed to you. When you have to scrounge for money to buy gear and music, when you literally know nobody influential in the scene, when you have to start off at the absolute bottom, playing shitty slots at shitty dive bars for shitty people who literally don’t give a shit about you or your music, when you have to hustle your ass off to develop a unique style, sound, and following, when you have to beg your friends and all your vague acquaintances to come to your shitty dive bar gigs, when you have to beg club and event promoters to put you on a lineup only to have a starting set at 9p with 2 people in the room staring at you, when you’re not being paid because “exposure” and the “opportunity” is your payment - THAT’S when DJing is hard as shit. FWIW I was a DJ on the side from 1999-2008, and while I was fortunate enough to end the last few years of my DJ career on a high note by opening for some of the world’s best touring DJs at that time at the hottest clubs in my area, most of my time was spent doing all the shitty stuff I mentioned to get to that point. So yes, it’s easy for an influencer to just randomly decide to be a DJ - and then be successful at it. For the average person? Not so much.

    • @@karenamyx2205 What is the purpose of the transition? It's there to seamlessly layer the intro of the next song over the chorus of the current song so that the phrase starts after the chorus, without messing up the 4/4 and tricking the audience into dancing on the new song. That's it. The transition isn't there to highlight the skill of the DJ. The skill of the DJ is to play the softer, inviting, repetitive, low profile music early on and have smooth longer transitions with long songs and slowly work to a climax half way in the night by speeding up with short transitions with lots of confidence and short, popular, harder or retro songs. And when the audience shrinks later on, the DJ will have to figure out who remains, who danced to what earlier and how to get them to dance the night away. The part when everyone's dancing with their eyes closed and 2 fingers in the air and don't want the night to end. Music does that to people. The right music. It took a while for me to understand. It's hard to explain.

That part is extra difficult because you can't just train to have good taste in music selection. Sure, you can just play top 10 songs, but then you're not that much more valuable than a top hits Spotify playlist.

  • Really enjoyed this video. While I agree that today’s technology (cdj or controller) make it quite easy for most to sound competent in 7 hours or so, I was glad that you recognize there is more depth to it to be really good and different. That said the sync button and mixed in key will allow you to sound real good , pretty easy with just a little coaching and KZhead. To be clear even as 25 yet vet dj, sync and MIK are two things I love and use a lot. Now I would love to see you play a packed room like that doing only a vinyl set with a mixer that doesn’t show bpm and no mixed in key on your tracks. That will require a little more than 7 hours preparation. ;)

As for "playlisting," playing shit commercial music in a club where people aren't even really listening is "easy," constantly finding good music and impressing knowledgeable clubbers, making them want to dance, understanding the vibe of the crowd, subtly bringing the intensity up and down, are all NOT "easy" things to do.

    • As a person who does it for fun sometimes, it's not that easy for me. There's a lot to be said about your track selection, because if all the tracks are your regular club house things, finding the beat, going from chorus to chorus is no problem. Playing more experimental and unconventional tunes takes prectice and really solid knowledge of those tracks and rhythm. Creative transitions, mashups, samples, scratching and other performance and accuracy heavy things aren't that simple either and I think that is what makes a good DJ.

Like sure, there are talentless hacks on the radio, but they're going to cause a bar-room to empty if a performer isn't genuinely good, if all your tech skills aren't very good, it's still pre-recorded music so it's hard to mess up bad enough to make anyone in the audience even know.

    • I think the main factor is not being absolutely clueless about music that people can dance to, knowing the right people and looking at least somewhat appealing and cool to the crowd that frequents the venue or night you will be playing, which can vary quite a bit. You don't always need equipment, some venues have their own. You don't need vinyl, many DJ off of USB and laptops now. You don't need any of your own songs, but if you want to stand out more, you'll need to make at least some of your own remixes. Learning the basics isn't that tough, you can watch videos online and go in early to practice. This is for bars and small clubs level. You need to be more skilled and have more of your own material to get booked for gigs with well known dance music artists and DJs and especially for music festivals.
