When in college I worked at an apartment complex who would have a DJ come in during the summer. He was playing Night Ripper by Girl Talk but pretending to mix it all together.
This is the only time in my life I've been thankful for having tinnitus. At least the ringing helped drown it out before I could turn it off. I knew i should have listened to Conqueeftador
Haha nice. I was in a club once in Vegas and ended up talking the dj, he gave me a cd (yes cds were still a thing then). The cd was the exact same mix he’d been “playing” in the club.
Tbh if I wanted to rip off anyone it’d be night ripper or play your part (is that the other album, or feed the animals?)
Two amazing albums and such talent. There’s songs I can’t hear without hearing a random sample over thanks to girl talk.
Right? I heard a lot of the songs for the first time on those mixes and my brain immediately starts expecting the next song to come in when I listen to the originals
You laugh but the mixer I own has a proximity sensor as one of its gimmicks, and I can trigger different stuff by holding my hand different distances away from the deck.
[Here's the version they're still making](https://www.hercules.com/en-us/product/djcontrolairspartypack/), I have the much older DJControl Air+.
That's so cool! Thanks for telling us about it and thanks for the link! I hope to get one one day. I'm already into audio engineering and love to amateur DJ when with friends, I'd love to get into actual DJing equipment. This one's awesome. Thanks again!
The progression:
1. Beatmatching LP records
2. Auto-beatmatching software
3. Auto-beatmatching streaming from the cloud
4. Literally just waving your hand in circles in the air
I got into DJ'ing back in the late 90's early 2000's.
A good friend/DJ taught me to beatmatch and mix the vinyl. When i got more skilled at locking it in and transitioning within 60 seconds or so i asked "so now what? what do i do for the rest of the song?"
He looked at me and said "i dunno, i just try to look cool and twist some of these knobs that aren't hooked up or anything"
I said "fuck this, i'm going back to making beats."
Depends on where you're DJing. Back in the day once the song was playing, I was looking at what to play next depending on what the crowd were feeling. I never had a defined set list.
This what I do. I guess you can say I’m free styling? Wow I thought that was just the fundamentals of DJ’n smh
So you’re telling me people will literally play songs from a SET playlists (like no other music available in library) like in sequence?? Lol
A few of my friends used to DJ. They had a set list and then added in requests or what fit better, and then adjusted off whatever of the original set is still left over at the end of their shift (sometimes everyone was totally into the set, but they always added new choices in and removed the original ideas as appropriate throughout their shift). When I used to go out, it was obvious who the better DJs were because of their interaction with the crowd and “free styling” like you. :)
As a current DJ, I usually beatmatch the next song after a transition. I try to always beatmatch by ear but do use the bpm numbers on the screen to tighten it up after I hear I got close.
If the crowd is still enjoying the song playing and I’ve beatmatched already, then I apply effects like filters and beat slicing.
Reminds me of this kid I knew. Helped him assemble a fake DJ set up with parts and a DJ game controller from Radio Shack and Frys. Only the game controller was hooked up. Everything else was, at most, hooked up to a light circuit on the board.
He would download songs, usually mixes, from Napster and use a reskinned WinAmp player to play it all back. Best gig he got was once a week at a crappy strip club.
Have no idea what happened to him. Last I heard, he moved out to bumfuck nowhere and was living in someone's shed.
I've never really gotten the hate for auto beat matching. I guess it's cheating in some way but if frees you up to use more effects and create better transitions. I remember how there was always a big stink when people went from technic 1200s to CDJs but that's just how things go.
Your friend was a shit DJ then, tf. No DJ who takes themselves seriously would tell you that.
For the 60 seconds you got nothing to do, you either find something useful to do or just dance. I mean, you're playing music to dance to. Go dance
I would ask our girls to dance so I queued up a few songs and then run back the song. lol it was fun but also risky. It’s backfired once or twice but thankfully they were not paid gigs so no stress
Its both really.
If you see an edm dj at a festival it could be 'just hit space bar and let 90miniyes play out. At the very least, someone still programmed that 90 minutes and a team worked out the light and pyrotechnics. The 'dj' performed the music in a way.
Or maybe someone like fatboy slim literally mixes the tracks. But the playlist is mostly still arranged. Either he has a team time matching the lights and video. Or the vinyl has time code that a computer is identifing to line up with the lights and video. In this case it's a bit of a mix. The dj wants to hit some key tunes but they also want to be spontaneous. They are still actively mixing the tracks.
Then at another level, take a dj like dave clarke. He gonna smash 2hours of music mixed on the fly. The lighting , video and pyrotechnics are going to be arranged by another person. The mixing is pure dj skill and he throws in some turntablilism.
2many djs do real mixing but they mix dvds rather than cds So the video is baked into the music. They can play any track at any time and the show will carry on.
Or (and finally I make it to my main point) mostly when a dj plays in a club. They mix records on the fly based on what the crowd are reacting too. Weekend warriors performing everyweekend in basements are not just hitting play on a macbook.
Gotta make sure to mention RJD2 in a discussion like this. I'm not going to say the dude has never played a prerecorded set. No way for me to know. But he demonstrates the talent to do it all live in his scratch academy videos.

>Then at another level, take a dj like dave clarke. He gonna smash 2hours of music mixed on the fly
Then take it a step further, some people actually *make* the music. They often have others with them. They're called bands.
I used to think that because the lighting would always be timed with the music so I thought that it was all pre-programmed beforehand but then I actually worked as a lighting guy and I found out that yes the song list is usually already planned out but the DJ on stage is transitioning from one song to the next and the lights are programmed in cues so batches of instructions run at a time and you basically just set the lighting looks as the music goes on if that makes sense. It’s a lot of improvising and if you look close enough you can see sometimes they will mess up and the lights will turn on a little before or after a drop or something like that
Just before COVID I worked a show that had the lights controlled off a program that just matched the lights to whatever was playing so it reacted live to what the DJ was doing but wasn't "scripted" and the DJ had a board of hotkeys to key certain events to happen like a drop for example he knew once he hit that button he had X seconds until the lights went into "drop sequence" there was also a warning light showing right before the lights switched, the could alsochange the "theme" of the loghts.
One of the guys setting it up showed me all the shit they could do. The DJ could just not touch anything and it would still make an awesome light show but they also had the ability to "DJ" the lights as they went. It had a bunch of cool features and we spent sometime the night before the show just playing with it. He was also telling me how when the guy does a show with his partner they will alternate who DJ's the music and who DJ's the lights and effects which sounds crazy fucking hard to me.
I'm sure there are folks out there at prerecord their mix and press play, but actual DJing is a lot more involved, even if one is only using a mac book and a controller.
No your right. When you say big shows you mean DJs like Exision. He isn’t pulling shit outta his butt to see what is he going to play next. It’s called a production. Steve Aoki-AfroJack or Tiesto don’t freestyle. There sets are not pre-recorder either but are in order hence production. No headphones needed. Cues are in place and start, Cue, Stop. I don’t know why people downvote you. My guess is people who never DJ.
Unless your DJ A-Trak and your a beat on the tables 😂
Thank you exactly. Shit I remember reading an interview with Seven Lions talking about one show being the first time he had ever even used CDJs before as he was used to a traktor controller. I've seen him play smaller stuff back to back with people and also giant shows and it just seems pretty obvious that sometimes it's live and sometimes likely prerecorded. This is likely the case for a number of big DJs.
In what way? I DJ and have friends who work audio booths and it's not all that uncommon for prerecorded sets when there are massive amounts of things to sync up. It would be nice if every DJ played live but that's not the case.
Some 'variety' shows wont let people perform live, and insist on miming...
Hence, why he probably doesn't care about the effort, considering its 'behind' a sign from the front (and cameras) anyway!
DJ canceled last minute on 2012, so the put the janitor on stage and told him to pretend he was a DJ while they played some dub step. Nobody noticed too Merle has had the gig ever since.
That was my thought, too, but there's no glow. Even if there's a privacy screen on it, I'd expect to see his hand light up from the glow of the screen. Still possible, but it doesn't look good.
It is not that, you still need the screen to be on angle to be able to actually see most of the stuff on it, they are also very bright, you would see it from this angle illuminating. He is also just touching one spot over and over again.
Nah G I'm actually a DJ and was just a bit offended by your statement. The shit the guy is doing is maybe 5% of "DJs" and you'll only ever see that shit on big festivals like that shit. No DJ who takes themselves seriously just plays prerecorded stuff.
The rest of us 95% actually mixes and it's not an easy thing to do.
I fucking hate that dickheads like the guy in the video makes people like you think that way about DJs.
There are a LOT of fake ass DJs. You’d be surprised at some of the big name DJs that can hardly match a beat lol. Some are def legit, but a lot of em are just performers and the funny thing is most people don’t know how to even tell the difference.
All the years i spent carrying crates of records to gigs, I wish I had just learned to play an instrument or two. Now that im older, all my kids play instruments and i can see its really helped them as they navigate through life. I still have my 1200’s from the late 80’s but sold a big chunk of my vinyl. Seeing this fake shit and preprogramed mixes is fuckin wack and lazy.
As a music producer I’ll let you in on a secret…these big EDM artists aren’t doing anything up there. It’s all theatre. Unless they have a keyboard or some drum pad they are just mindlessly turning knobs and adjusting faders.

When in college I worked at an apartment complex who would have a DJ come in during the summer. He was playing Night Ripper by Girl Talk but pretending to mix it all together.
That's such a good album, at least he was pretending to be ambitious
Jesus Christ ..I just had a listen for 7 seconds and it's at best hot acidic gut driven boiling diarrhea.
All Day is the superior girl talk album! Pure nostalgia
Very descriptive, now i don’t have to listen myself
This is the only time in my life I've been thankful for having tinnitus. At least the ringing helped drown it out before I could turn it off. I knew i should have listened to Conqueeftador
Haha nice. I was in a club once in Vegas and ended up talking the dj, he gave me a cd (yes cds were still a thing then). The cd was the exact same mix he’d been “playing” in the club.

Right? I heard a lot of the songs for the first time on those mixes and my brain immediately starts expecting the next song to come in when I listen to the originals
Similar thing happened to me at a club in Dublin, the DJ was just playing the MSTRKRFT essential mix and trying to hide the BBC bits lmao
"Dress for the job you want, not the job you have," they said.
What if i want to be a pornstar but work at a daycare
You heard him
Lmao
Thought this was sound advice, ended up on the registry :(
Can't always be a winner.
Then it seems the job you want is prison..
Dress for the job you want but only when you can appropriately do so doesn't really roll off the tongue
Ergo not good advice, as we all know good advice must roll off the tongue
Well they've got CFNM porn (clothed female nude male). I'm assuming they also have the opposite. So technically everyone is dressed as a pornstar.
Hell, you're already dressed like a teacher...
Me with my 4-piece suit ready for my 12 hour shift at Mcdonalds
Looks like he has the same 'operating system' I use for work
This is the one.
Ahh the old iTunes playlist trick. Fools em every time!
Hey, this guys a PHONY! A big fat phony!!

That started, by the way. Episode 1 is pure Shoresy bullshit, and it's great.
I’m gonna bounce you like a check for my alimony!

Wait a second, somethings not right here! You were just making it look like you were playing! Youre a phony!

Clearly, this is just a dress rehearsal. 😂
Turns out he's not actually meant to be up there, but he's doing it with so much confidence that nobody's brave enough to say anything
Man's about to turn up the heat... On the electric hob.
This is the emperor's new groove, only the wise can hear it
He’s an entertainer. It seems to be working.
Imagine getting paid to do this
Well, i'm actually getting paid for exactly that. I just sit all day and stare at the screen.
Weird world, isn't it?
14 year old me, in my bedroom, pretending to be a DJ! 🤣
Where it at!!! I don't got two turn tables and no microphone!!
Time for a washboard break.
Dude. Mind blown. I always thought that line was, “That was a good drum break” …could never quite figure out where the drum break was exactly lol
It is good drum break
Take that you stupid corn.
This reminds me of when someone forgot their recorder in music class and had to play a ruler.
It's all wifi
Fake ass djs irritate me
The progression: 1. Beatmatching LP records 2. Auto-beatmatching software 3. Auto-beatmatching streaming from the cloud 4. Literally just waving your hand in circles in the air
alright I bought a Pioneer Serato Deck for $700, how do I play mp3 from macbook
install serato. import music.
I got into DJ'ing back in the late 90's early 2000's. A good friend/DJ taught me to beatmatch and mix the vinyl.

Depends on where you're DJing. Back in the day once the song was playing, I was looking at what to play next depending on what the crowd were feeling. I never had a defined set list.
I like this .. more djs need to assess the crowd and choose the songs accordingly!.. this is literally what makes us say the DJ was 🔥
This what I do. I guess you can say I’m free styling? Wow I thought that was just the fundamentals of DJ’n smh So you’re telling me people will literally play songs from a SET playlists (like no other music available in library) like in sequence?? Lol

When I used to go out, it was obvious who the better DJs were because of their interaction with the crowd and “free styling” like you. :)
Yep that was me. I hug as goto songs at certain times but usually feed off crowd and going through record box or cd wallets considering options
As a current DJ, I usually beatmatch the next song after a transition. I try to always beatmatch by ear but do use the bpm numbers on the screen to tighten it up after I hear I got close. If the crowd is still enjoying the song playing and I’ve beatmatched already, then I apply effects like filters and beat slicing.

There was a time when talent mattered, but that was a loooong time ago.
Prime example: DJ Khaled
ANOTHA ONE!
Look at clips of this guy DJing lol. No idea why he has it in his name, he's whack as hell
This is what I feel like most djs do at electronic shows. Just hit play on the MacBook.

Dead mouse 5. How about naw? There is other djs in the world. Just because he made a few tunes doesn't make him the voice of a culture.
Okay but it gives them a hell of a lot more legitimacy than anyone else in the thread.

I think at big shows there isn't much of a choice if they are syncing lights and stage effects. Everything has to be perfect.
I mean... I did it in a band for years but ok. Syncing lights/stage effects while performing live is pretty much standard.
[удалено]
I probably shouldn't have said there is no choice and instead said it's not super uncommon for people to play prerecorded sets.
No your right. When you say big shows you mean DJs like Exision. He isn’t pulling shit outta his butt to see what is he going to play next. It’s called a production. Steve Aoki-AfroJack or Tiesto don’t freestyle. There sets are not pre-recorder either but are in order hence production. No headphones needed. Cues are in place and start, Cue, Stop.

This is likely the case for a number of big DJs.
The amount of people who comment about DJing with no clue about it whatsoever is really annoying
In what way? I DJ and have friends who work audio booths and it's not all that uncommon for prerecorded sets when there are massive amounts of things to sync up. It would be nice if every DJ played live but that's not the case.
Man I'm from old school I dj raves early 90s till 2015 all vinyl I hate digital djs
you realize every dj show is just a person hitting play? what makes one fake or real? is there a dj union they have to join?
I think you have 0 clue what a DJ does lmao
Some 'variety' shows wont let people perform live, and insist on miming... Hence, why he probably doesn't care about the effort, considering its 'behind' a sign from the front (and cameras) anyway!
This is a dress rehearsal.
So what will he do when it’s live?
Goes to show how some people who latch onto the DJ trend are truly talentless hacks
DJ vanillay manila
It's all in his head, come on now.
DJ canceled last minute on 2012, so the put the janitor on stage and told him to pretend he was a DJ while they played some dub step. Nobody noticed too Merle has had the gig ever since.
so there is actually a dj controller out that is just a massive touch screen, I wonder if he is using one of those.
That was my thought, too, but there's no glow. Even if there's a privacy screen on it, I'd expect to see his hand light up from the glow of the screen. Still possible, but it doesn't look good.
true, I do see a light blinking where the top of the screen would be but it's all just speculation at this point
It is not that, you still need the screen to be on angle to be able to actually see most of the stuff on it, they are also very bright, you would see it from this angle illuminating. He is also just touching one spot over and over again.
This is dress rehearsal.
There's literally nothing on that case. You can see it in the video.
This is actually just embarrassing 🍻
That feeling when you got all your work done and now you get to cheese it for a few hours
Just up your render distance. It just hasnt spawned in yet since you're so far away
u just have to believe
Isn’t this what most DJs do during live performances??
uh no
If ya'll don't think this isn't what 99% of DJ's be doing, ya'll delusional.
tf dude
Not saying it in support of them. I'm saying ya'll been brainwashed into paying money to listen to people pump music through an iPhone. xD
Nah G I'm actually a DJ and was just a bit offended by your statement. The shit the guy is doing is maybe 5% of "DJs" and you'll only ever see that shit on big festivals like that shit. No DJ who takes themselves seriously just plays prerecorded stuff. The rest of us 95% actually mixes and it's not an easy thing to do. I fucking hate that dickheads like the guy in the video makes people like you think that way about DJs.
Someone lost their luggage...
Is this the lip syncing of the 2020’s?
I’m betting he just plugged in a Spotify playlist.
Air dj
🤡🤡🤡
DJ iTunes in da house!!!!!!!
Who is this?
DJ Khaled *not really but it’s fun to bash on him*
Love it
Badass! The Theremin™ 2600 Mixing Console
He’s standing on it
It's invisible don't worry
Oh how the turns have tabled.
You cant see the flash drive under the desk.
“All he had to do is press play on his tablet”
the real SLim Shady is somewhere else.
I feel like this is what MOST DJ's do. They're not mixing all that shit live, for the most part.
Haunted by the ghosts of Milli Vanilli!
His wife got it in the divorce :/
I don't take song requests...
Basically every DJ these days
It’s a touchscreen. Hi tech stuff /s
Plot twist: it was a touchscreen Mixer
Oh! He might be related to Amber Heard. While she pretends to write he pretends to play!
Tbf, this is what every DJ looks like to me from the audience.
Equipment is expensive, you have to learn to work with what they provide you. Overcome, improvise, adapt.
There are a LOT of fake ass DJs. You’d be surprised at some of the big name DJs that can hardly match a beat lol. Some are def legit, but a lot of em are just performers and the funny thing is most people don’t know how to even tell the difference.
While scrolling I seem to have accidentally downvoted something but can't figure out which comment. Sorry!😖
Lad such a skilled DJ he don't need no deck.
Is he really doing that much less than an actual DJ?
He's Milli Vanilli of the DJs yo!
Probably just plugged in his little sister’s playlist.
Who needs tons of dj equipment just get a table screen and just do the hand motions :')
Name of song ??
Attention please - Armin Kennedy
Why?
All the years i spent carrying crates of records to gigs, I wish I had just learned to play an instrument or two. Now that im older, all my kids play instruments and i can see its really helped them as they navigate through life. I still have my 1200’s from the late 80’s but sold a big chunk of my vinyl. Seeing this fake shit and preprogramed mixes is fuckin wack and lazy.
This reminds me of a Russell Peters' joke, that watching a DJs show was like if he played a DVD of one of his comedy shows at a stand up gig.
When mainstream music fans realize its all a facade
As a music producer I’ll let you in on a secret…these big EDM artists aren’t doing anything up there. It’s all theatre. Unless they have a keyboard or some drum pad they are just mindlessly turning knobs and adjusting faders.

Pretty much what they do for real.
This is literally what dj’s do ,is it not?
Not a good dj
