You were my first ever DJ teacher 14 years ago...I'm so happy you are still uploading videos 14 years later - thank you.
sorry for the video being the wrong way round..... it's an iphone!
I don't know how I put music together, it just happens and feels right.
Knowledge is KEY!… I’ve been listening to music for around 50 years now. (I’m 61) mixing for over 40 years…..used cassettes and vinyl & now digital with a DDJ 800. It’s been easy because I have a style and grew up buying and collecting music… this gives you the understanding of how music works and sounds. I’m mainly into soul, funk & disco and love the Philly sound. Understanding a genre of music gives you this knowledge and you can’t just chuck a loada tunes on and mix them even if you know how the software works and to me this is why I hear terrible DJs these days mixing tunes that are just popular with out This Knowledge. Often I have to explain to folks that there play lists suck big time, WHY?….. because they just play without doing the home work! So age in my case has been a gift. To play without using fancy filters and stupid echo effects in every song and to see folks smiling and giving them memory’s of what they love to hear again comes back to knowledge. The time I spend putting my sets together is never a chore, it’s fun and sometime i smile to myself because I can pull out a song and the memory hits me of the time I first heard the tune. So I believe your short video is right… DJs play music… music from the heart & music from the soul…. But you have to have this knowledge in order to be able to do this. 💖
I use vinyl for those times you just cannot get the favourite tracks on Digital. Use both, both are great.
I think you are spot on. With the overwhelming amount of songs available online to download at a price much cheaper than records or CDs it's easy to think you need every song for every situation and before you know it.... you have too many songs that you don't know "the musical content of" as you put it.
Mad respect for your teaching skills -- you cut to the chase and break it down for everyone to follow. Why is this so rare?? Hahaha
I used all sorts of technology.. vinyl, controller, CDJs.. BUT.. none of these digital devices can give me this satisfying feeling of manipulating a vinyl record with my own hands... so I stick with Timecode and Traktor, when I want to play songs that aren´t on vinyl.
I totally agree with this . I don't understand why many djs nowadays feels like the equipment is what makes them a good DJ, its total BS in my eyes . I've moved on from using software and I'm using CDs now , and I'm starting to enjoy it alot more as I have to listen to the song to match the BPM but also I'm learning the song and feeling it as well and I can structure the flow of a set better . I would like to point out that if a DJ has the skills and the knowledge on mixing music and can keep the dancefloor busy then that's what make them a DJ not the equipment that's being used . I mean we have all these state of the art controllers and software and DJs can do weird and wonderful tricks on them but at the end of the day every single DJ system does the same thing which is play music . So if a DJ a rock a crowd and that dancefloor is busy then thats what I call a DJ 😃

You are 100% correct there johnathan. Its always about the music not, the gear. Great video 👍👍
Absolutely well said sir keep up the great content
Arranging a DJ set is like putting 500 piece jigsaw puzzle together. Or trying to get all 8 sides of the Rubic's Cube. In other words.. It's hard.
I started mixing without master tempo yesterday, hiding bpm as well, and it's way more fun! Selection is 80% , then it's all about how you FEEL the music
Very inspiring. Thank you 😊
Best pieces of advice as usual!
I agree with you, I like armonic mixing and master tempo is always active for me, I Do like studying and creating the flow..... Ciao
Times are hard lol....state of that carpet and that 1984 looking kitchen !
Your completely right Johnathan. It doesn't matter how technically good a djs or havin the best gear is if his tune selection and understanding of what to put together isnt right.
100%...im 49 been djing since late 80s so grew up on vinyl... I now use everything as I believe a Dj needs to be able to use whatever is in front of him...BEAT MATCHING IS BEING A DJ.
