This really sums up the life of a DJ. Thanks for keeping it real Kev, I’ve had a few gigs like this and it is what it is but you kept it professional and powered through. Great setup, keep going! 🎉
The insight after the gig log was very good 👍🏾 Echoes a point made by Jazzy Jeff. Nobody truly cares about your setup. Just play good music. I appreciate your post, bro 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
@@DJHEV yea a fan doesn’t hurt to have if you do a lot of summer events, I’ll probably invest next year & I agree Rockville has really held up with what I need it for 🙌🏽 thanks for watching !
I get the long spotify list and I have to go through and chose the songs that will be most appreciated. Then i will get the same thing you got can you play the songs on my list, and I say that's what i am playing. Then I will play a song on the list immediately after they ask and no one will like the song and I put my hands up and shrug my shoulder at them and say i guess they don't like it. Then i will play some hot songs that i know will get them to the dance floor. It will only last for 3 songs then they are tired so I will switch back to the list and while they rest for 2 songs from the list because most of the time the list are just listening songs, with a few special sing along songs that the list maker and their friends want to sing out loud with. So i started asking them to highlight must play and suggested songs and that has helped me decide how many to play from the list. I always ask for every event, unless it's a pool party or picnic, because those are usually just background and i just mix it up. But for dance events I always ask for a song list, and i let them know that every song may not get played so they will understand that going in. I also bring fans along that i picked up from walmart to every dance party. Because people get hot dancing and it has been the best thing. They always ask in the beginning, What are the fans for? But by the time the dancing has started they say thank you for the fans, while they are standing right in front of it to cool down. I also picked up used ipad and i use that with the notes app and allow them to request songs and that helps a lot. And I am glad your are paying attention to what your setup looks like. They may not say anything when it looks good but they will definitely say something if it looks bad. Any way good gig log, keep em dancing!
All great tips bro ! Definitely have to consider the fans for those summer events lol & hopefully I can find a good system to allow them to understand certain songs on their list won’t work but still learning 👍🏽 also appreciate that you said they’ll notice when it’s a bad setup & I agree 100%
Great job bro nice set up yea it happens with clients give you a play list but the tuff job is to get everyone on the dance floor it's a balancing situation
@koproductions8266 anytime bro just at times if they not feeling the song they start looking at there phones especially if they go outside like that I just don't any of the songs on the list till they come back. Especially if that was me I say something little funny but not to much to get the crowd upset
@koproductions8266 yea today Era is not easy at all but keep working hard bro you getting up there or you can go on the dance floor to get them going that can help out a little.
❤❤ this content and great introduction into what you do and ❤ in helping to make people 😊 happy!! Keep the great videos coming and continued success in all you do from Mario on 789 Quincy Street in Brooklyn 😊
Thanks for the transparency Kev. I don’t want furniture and it’s definitely not in my budget. I was considering doing the same poor man’s furniture but my ass is short too 😂. Have you seen the modern consoles “Luna” or some sht like that? That thing is 🔥 but you need to haul it in a trailer.
Lmao yea I’d probably break my flight case eventually if I kept standing on it & I personally haven’t bro but I’ll look them up, I’m gonna try to avoid having to get a trailer any way I can though lol
Check out what DJ Peck is doing on here with his custom booth. I built one as a test and it cost me like $100 to build the booth itself. Another $100 or so for a bag. Super simple. Can place it on a table or whatever you want to have it all work. All the stuff is pre-installed, so it's a super fast set up.
Another dope vlog as always bruh! I've always been curious about your booth set up and why do you have the shelf right at the top? I got the same booth but my shelf is at the lowest part (I'm only 172cm tall)
Thank you bro ! I had the shelf at the top for this event because I was on stage so I thought if I had my controller on top it would help me interact with the crowd more but yea it was too tall for me lol next time I’ll have the normal setup with it on the lower shelf
Love the wash pars, couldnt you just clamp them to your speaker poles though? Have you thought about raising your prices? It will weed out some of the cheap and nasty clients that honestly have no idea and give long must play lists etc.
I did try that yes but I just personally didn’t like how it looked & I felt like the gig bar had more potential for me to be able to provide better lighting in the future too & yes definitely will raise prices now for dance floor lighting, I agree it’ll help filter out those who get too needy

Yea that was the tough part, balancing the graduates play list & seeing what the adults were receptive to but thanks bro !
