Here is the list. 1. Keep going 2. Do everything yourself 3. Start networking 4. Get a manager 5. Get a booking agent 6. Get a PR agent 7. Keep grinding Great tips luke!
Yes please make a vlog about to land an official remix. That would greatly help out us aspiring, young producers! Ps. It’s pronounced Jake but the 4 is there so it’s not as boring...
At least one tip is to search for Remix-competitions. Those are plenty in the net. And then of course, ask this from the artist you want to remix. I've done couple of those competitions and asked couple of times. Haven't received No-answer yet so I need to finish those remixes :D
in a vlog you should talk about how was your collab with the swedish guys on leave the world behind, im always down to hear some back in the days stuff
Hey Luke, I realy like your vlogs! I have a two questions you probably can answer for me. Could you tell some more about all the unkown politics in the DJ world, like what happend with Don Diablo on ULTRA Singapore and all the other things that we as a crowd don't know ? My other question is: where do you get all your nice t-shirts, that are most of the time inspired on the current trends in the world like strangher things or the place your set take place ?
thought the same before my first gig. i played an opener set, not to many people but you still don't wanna f*ck up. as a opener i started with some deep and future house. worked good for me!
Play in a lot of smalls parties and eventually you will learn how to learn people tastes. Being dj it's all about learning how to read people. Also, don't be scared to fail. It's totally normal to don't kick it in your first presentations
Laidback Luke is litterally one of the funniest producers out there! It's nice to see their lifestyle and all instead of just seeing their name on those famous labels.
Liverpool show was insane! I think a producer vlog is long overdue. I would love to see one about breakdowns in a track, keeping it loud and powerful is something I struggle with. Salute
I just wanna thank you. I just newly started DJing and your videos are a huge help, I just hope one day I'm able to produce and become a huge D.J. Like you!!
Dear Laidback Luke, follow u since a while now and just realize u so important to the scene with your knowledge and the person u are... your vlogs are awesome and so effective for us, thank u for that and pleast don't stop doing that! love from israel ❤️
Met laidback Luke at lax the other day . Awesome guy and gave me some great advice (Watch this video again was one). Keep it up luke , thanks for the inspirational videos !
Bump for official remix vlog! This topic is def a hot one and I can't think of a better artist to shed some light on it and give us some insights from your own experiences! Love the vlogs, keep it up!
That vlog inspire me a lot and its not only the vlogs its you, youre a great person and evertime i watch your vlogs or live Shows it gives me energy to make my music never give up and stand maybe one time with you on the stage
it seems that getting your first track signed is half the battle. As long as you keep making music, good music to professional standards, everything will fall into place :-)
I just discovered your vlogs yesterday, I'm ashamed of myself for not watching them earlier, they're really entertaining and I'm learning new things about a DJ's lifestyle. Now I'm gonna keep binge-watching all your vlogs haha
I grew up listening to your tracks, I had no i idea that you had your own channel and so much to offer from the industry. And just overall being a very genuine great guy! Thanks a lot for sharing this! Subbed
1. Keep going 2:17 2. Do everything yourself 4:45 3. Start networking 5:55 4. Get a manager 8:11 5. Get a booking agent 9:20 6. Get a PR agent 11:18 7. Keep grinding 12:36
A man who sold the wold. Giving the info to improve other how on Top!! like the last words he said "This could u be Lot Artist the harder you work the better u get.. And respecting is whole staff who helped him. He got the heart to "Respect" he Respects is TEAM!! The most!!
Awesome Vlogs and the Top 10's and the 7 Ways vlog. INCLUDING your music! I been DJ'ing for about 4 years now and i'm 19 years old and i been a bedroom DJ with my large size DJ speakers and subwoofers. This year will be my first time DJ'ing outdoors or indoors of barbaques, pool parties, beach party, like small parties.
if its a manager who has multiple Dj's as client then 5 to 10% if the mangaer is dedicated to handling your shows then usually its 20% of your fees that is if your earning like luke and other DJ's
Man, my New Years gig was hell, LBLs looks more fun. Turntables breaking, mixer not working. Had to switch gear and dance floors. One speaker wasn’t secured and “flew” away from the bass and crushed my computer. Happy new year 🤔
Gotta say i look forward to these vlogs they are awesome to see the life i wanted to have back in the day. Yeah no you keep doing it Luke lol great job!
Wauw how do you survive all the traveling and living in different time zones and allways deliver energy to the crowd. Respect to all those dj's who are willing to put somemuch effort in spreading their love for music! Great vlog again. Peace.
Also, you have to think how you perform on the stage, If you are like " did you see that ? did you see that ?" People get annoyed very fast ! You not have to put you hand on the air when drop come, people are listened enough electronic music and know when drop come, you not have to swing you hands or jump when the kick drum start to bang.
Can you go into some more detail on some of the lower level steps? It looks like those are by far the most difficult one, then it sort of snowballs as you said and becomes quite a bit easier as you establish yourself more and more.
Hi, Luke Your vlogs are very interesting. Could you please make a vlog about reasons for loosing momentum? I get the impression that some DJ's/Producers were more popular 10-15 years ago than they are today. Like Tom Novy, Patrik Skoog, Stanny Franssen, Silicone Soul, Pascal FEOS, Ian Pooley…. Do you have a fear that your fans and promoters would lose interest in you if you would tour less than you are today? Do you see yourself touring less and investing your time in something else? What would your crew think about you touring less since their income depends on your activities?
Hi Luke, happy new year! In your humble opinion, do you consider modern DJs and Dance producers as musicians of their own kind? This might get heat; guys if you comment remember to respect other peoples opinions
RichezRightzz For me.. producers are just people who know music theory... if the producer plays an instrument, he or she is a musician.. amateur one.. experienced one.. idk, it's just a label I guess
Personally, I think that producers are COMPOSERS, but not always musicians. EDM is definitely real music (hence the term "composer"), but it doesn't usually involve real instruments and when it does the producers often don't play it themselves. The word "musician" implies that someone can physically play an instrument. Many producers CAN play instruments, though--that's often how their interest in music started.
Hey Luke could you make an VLOG about creazy mixing like at your Tomorrowland 2011 set where you make an track with only the Cue point or something like that? That would be absolutely cool!
Love your videos! I played my first new years gig and am finding myself getting bigger and bigger! Thank you for all your insights! As always, L's up and rave safely!
when Im sad I mix. Your a great teacher and you let me forget all the strife In my life. guess you can say u save me from my sadness. I m not trying to throw a pity party. but thank you Luke from the bottom of my heart
This basically screams what I’ve said to people for years, but cemented that you have to produce in order to make it as a dj; unless you’ve some solid connections with promoters and grind from being a warm up, tough position to leave if you’re good at it, every promoter looks for good warm up Dj’s...or they should be!
Hi LBL, I DJ in local bars and clubs where it's really difficult to play the freshest music unless it's topping the charts, this can be really demoralising for someone passionate about music!!!. Could you PLEASE VLOG with some advice on how you would tackle this, keeping the crowd happy AND keeping your soul...Thanks!
I really like how you like to help people that want to be DJs and or producers, the tips are very important from someone like you Keep Up man and massive thanks
Always great to reflect back on this video, its like literal gold dust. Best advice from the best in the business. Can't wait to see you play in Liverpool again or Creamfields Luke. Always a good time so many memories of you playing at Cream before it got knocked down too so sad. So many brilliant memories in there!
Great vlog. Keep grinding. The reality is that you need to have something to offer. I was at the Hangar in Miami once and 12th planet was right next to me and at that point I just didn't have any music made. I cant ask him to listen to my stuff if there's nothing to listen to lol. Come see us at Muscle Beach Miami Luke! Would love to work out with you. Stay humble!
L.L. Your D.J. Style is amazing. I’m a big fan of EDM and would always joke with my GF I’m going to D.J. one day. My GF is a big local promoter here in San Antonio Tx and for Xmas this year she bought me Poineer DJ-sb2 and said chase your dream babe. At age 38 your blogs motivate me to go for it. Thank you. L’s up
Can you host a remix contest for us to release an official remix? That way we can learn both how to release an official remix and possibly get feedback from submissions?
Awesome vlog as always!!! and i feel these tips fall into place for almost every aspect of life. As a DJ, and Medical student literally tips 1-4/5 and 7 rang so true for my life experiences and i guess you could say future experiences as a Dr. Thanks for the inspiration and epic vlogs
One of the best vlogs you did. Quality wise and tonality wise of you....even if the context wasnt interesting for me i still enjoyed watching....gj ;) Come to Germany again ;) greetings
I can’t wait to see you in San Antonio I’m so excited!!! Hopefully I can get good footage for my vlog and make it In yours!!! This set is gunna change my life!!

Great tips luke!
69 likes i cannot like it...
One day I'll be a part of mixmash records and I'll be working next to Luke and all my other favourite mixmash artists
Only thing that stops you from getting there is not working hard enough, Keep motivated and you will make it
Yes please make a vlog about to land an official remix. That would greatly help out us aspiring, young producers!
Ps. It’s pronounced Jake but the 4 is there so it’s not as boring...
J4KE let's get this comment to #1 for next vlog!
yeah that would be amazing

guys Luke should be on ROGAN -- the martial arts connection. how is this not happening? he keeps bringing boring ppl instead
11:18 Tip 6: Get pregnant
I thought that's what it said lol :)
Haha lmao
lol same hahaha
Looked 3 times! To rewind!🤣
in a vlog you should talk about how was your collab with the swedish guys on leave the world behind, im always down to hear some back in the days stuff
nacho fuentes listen more about “leave the world behind” seems to be a great idea to hear more about it
Hey Luke, I realy like your vlogs! I have a two questions you probably can answer for me.
Could you tell some more about all the unkown politics in the DJ world, like what happend with Don Diablo on ULTRA Singapore and all the other things that we as a crowd don't know ?

4:41 mans not hot
2+2=4-1=3 quick maths
You truly are an inspiration LaidbackLuke
its so obvious that luke is a great leader hope u succeed on a major scale and hopefully help the right people
how do you do your first set if you dont know what the crowd wants? if you have never played for a crowd what do you play?
anonimous k good shout! I wonder this all the time
anonimous k I think he has some songs for a moment like that.
Start by playing for small crowds/friends. For your first club show, see what the other artists are playing to get an idea of genre.
thought the same before my first gig. i played an opener set, not to many people but you still don't wanna f*ck up. as a opener i started with some deep and future house. worked good for me!
Play in a lot of smalls parties and eventually you will learn how to learn people tastes. Being dj it's all about learning how to read people.
Also, don't be scared to fail. It's totally normal to don't kick it in your first presentations
8:12 a wild snorlax appears
lol
sup! where is all your vids ? i miss you fam
Laidback Luke is litterally one of the funniest producers out there! It's nice to see their lifestyle and all instead of just seeing their name on those famous labels.
Liverpool show was insane! I think a producer vlog is long overdue. I would love to see one about breakdowns in a track, keeping it loud and powerful is something I struggle with. Salute
Step 8: Hire a ghost producer
Brandon Ferguson 🤔
Ghost Producer; Alan lets do this.
Alan Walker; Yes
I just wanna thank you. I just newly started DJing and your videos are a huge help, I just hope one day I'm able to produce and become a huge D.J. Like you!!

I have small fanbase on different social medias and its nice to have small circle as i have the time to respond and get personal with it
God I pray I go to the next laid back Luke concert in Washington DC. Mountain move. BLOW
Sanity events making an appearance at the start in Liverpool ! What a great show, Liverpool have missed you
it seems that getting your first track signed is half the battle. As long as you keep making music, good music to professional standards, everything will fall into place :-)

Hi. Just curious..how much money a manager takes from you for a little show or a big show? 50% ? 70%? 10%? how much?
amanrox41 not sure but I thought it was 10
10-15% seems right
/see his videos unmanageable
It depends on what is the function of the manarr. But normally between 5-15%
if its a manager who has multiple Dj's as client then 5 to 10% if the mangaer is dedicated to handling your shows then usually its 20% of your fees that is if your earning like luke and other DJ's
This as inspiration is an understatement.........
Man, my New Years gig was hell, LBLs looks more fun. Turntables breaking, mixer not working. Had to switch gear and dance floors. One speaker wasn’t secured and “flew” away from the bass and crushed my computer. Happy new year 🤔
yes please make a blog about landing an official remix!
Hi Luke I’m exited to see you play this Friday night in LA for your strictly techno set 😁 please add footage of it and can’t wait for Friday!
Yes please!!! explanation on how official remixes work
Gotta say i look forward to these vlogs they are awesome to see the life i wanted to have back in the day. Yeah no you keep doing it Luke lol great job!
craaap i wish i saw this vlog and followed laidback luke 10 yrs ago would have gotten a lot out of it (better late than never)
Your shots + video editing are fun to watch!
Wauw how do you survive all the traveling and living in different time zones and allways deliver energy to the crowd. Respect to all those dj's who are willing to put somemuch effort in spreading their love for music! Great vlog again. Peace.
youtuber one: go to the label. the label won't come to you
youtube two: let the label go to you
....BOI!
Can't wait to see you at NCG tomorrow!
Also, you have to think how you perform on the stage, If you are like " did you see that ? did you see that ?" People get annoyed very fast ! You not have to put you hand on the air when drop come, people are listened enough electronic music and know when drop come, you not have to swing you hands or jump when the kick drum start to bang.
Yes, please, please make a vlog about to land an official remix
This is why I always look forward to Fridays!
thank you for the help you have given us
You're a legend Laidback Luke
Luke your video production has really stepped up. It was cool before but now it’s next level! Keep it up!!!
Greeting the new year with Luke playing, that's high up on my bucket list
Thank you for inspiring me. One of the many DJs who I look up to.
Can you go into some more detail on some of the lower level steps? It looks like those are by far the most difficult one, then it sort of snowballs as you said and becomes quite a bit easier as you establish yourself more and more.
Hi, Luke

Very well said.
YES TO HOW TO GET AN OFFICIAL REMIX!
Thanks luke for the great advice
I’ll see you in San Antonio in a week! Can’t wait to see one of the realest djs out there!! Double L’s all the way 😏😍
Can You do a video where you compare bad mixed tracks with good mixed tracks and explain the difference in the detail?
Hi Luke, happy new year!
In your humble opinion, do you consider modern DJs and Dance producers as musicians of their own kind?
This might get heat; guys if you comment remember to respect other peoples opinions
RichezRightzz what "own kinds" means? music is different, method is same (diff plugins ofc)
RichezRightzz Good question! I've seen a lot of hate and controversy on the topic. I'm also curious to know what LBL has to say on that
RichezRightzz For me.. producers are just people who know music theory... if the producer plays an instrument, he or she is a musician.. amateur one.. experienced one.. idk, it's just a label I guess
Personally, I think that producers are COMPOSERS, but not always musicians.

The word "musician" implies that someone can physically play an instrument. Many producers CAN play instruments, though--that's often how their interest in music started.
I love the content of your videos, but I have to say, my favorite part is that you don't clickbait like every other youtuber lol
Hey Luke could you make an VLOG about creazy mixing like at your Tomorrowland 2011 set where you make an track with only the Cue point or something like that? That would be absolutely cool!
Love your videos! I played my first new years gig and am finding myself getting bigger and bigger! Thank you for all your insights!
As always, L's up and rave safely!
Hey Luke love the Vlogs , maybe a cool vlog to show would be your top 5 shows you have played and what has made them so special too you
Amazing thanks for the inspo!
LL....thank you brother. I really appreciated your words of encouragement. I'll carry them forever. I will never stop.
when Im sad I mix. Your a great teacher and you let me forget all the strife In my life. guess you can say u save me from my sadness. I m not trying to throw a pity party. but thank you Luke from the bottom of my heart
Thanks for the tips I hope thats going to be me in the future
I can't thank You enough for all the work You put in these vlogs and most importantly, for sharing the experience! Love and respect from Lithuania!
Really useful tips. Thanks Luke!
video came 7 minutes ago, video is 13 minutes long 🤔
xdd ttru
MicroMicro Unknown GT exactly, also can I not say that the tips are good early if I like the first couple tips?
MicroMicro oh very true
these vlogs just keep getting better! (i liked the clap thing)
The 7 ways are explained very well in this video!
This basically screams what I’ve said to people for years, but cemented that you have to produce in order to make it as a dj; unless you’ve some solid connections with promoters and grind from being a warm up, tough position to leave if you’re good at it, every promoter looks for good warm up Dj’s...or they should be!
Thanks for the motivation! I'm gonna blow up in 2018 for you. I need to get these tracks off of my hard drive and into the booth lol.
Loved the new camara transitions! it´s really cool to see how much time you invest in making this videos, I have learned so much from you.
This was very helpfull .. Luke im not sure if you know how much you are helping the producer community out there ... giant respect for what you do man
Doing a vlog on getting an official remix would be awesome. I would love to see that process!
LL Can you do something on how you protect and maintain your hearing? So much interest in your thoughts on this topic?!
I think should be very interesting to know how to release an official remix! keep those very interesting contents, king of EDM! ;)
what should people starting out in the edm world focus on first, producing or djing?
great vlog as always
Cool transitions!
Hi LBL, I DJ in local bars and clubs where it's really difficult to play the freshest music unless it's topping the charts, this can be really demoralising for someone passionate about music!!!. Could you PLEASE VLOG with some advice on how you would tackle this, keeping the crowd happy AND keeping your soul...Thanks!
I really like how you like to help people that want to be DJs and or producers, the tips are very important from someone like you

Another awesome vlog Luke! It was really helpful!
Always great to reflect back on this video, its like literal gold dust. Best advice from the best in the business. Can't wait to see you play in Liverpool again or Creamfields Luke. Always a good time so many memories of you playing at Cream before it got knocked down too so sad. So many brilliant memories in there!
can you explain what you mean exactly by networking?
Love you Laidback Luke ! Hope you have a blast this year 2018 !
please do a vlog on how to get asked to do an official remix
Your Vlog style is amazing!
Great vlog. Keep grinding. The reality is that you need to have something to offer. I was at the Hangar in Miami once and 12th planet was right next to me and at that point I just didn't have any music made. I cant ask him to listen to my stuff if there's nothing to listen to lol. Come see us at Muscle Beach Miami Luke! Would love to work out with you. Stay humble!
It sounds good to start networking, but what is actually the best way to begin networking? Who should I contact, and how should I contact them?
L.L. Your D.J. Style is amazing. I’m a big fan of EDM and would always joke with my GF I’m going to D.J. one day. My GF is a big local promoter here in San Antonio Tx and for Xmas this year she bought me Poineer DJ-sb2 and said chase your dream babe. At age 38 your blogs motivate me to go for it. Thank you. L’s up

Nice shirt, I feel motivated already!!
