Kayla Smith that’s what I love so much about Deadmau5. If I’m buying tickets to see Deadmau5 play live, I wanna hear HIS music, not someone else’s lmao
Mewzyc I knew right away he was gunna say his lower back, my back kills after long sets. Only way is to raise the gear on stands and even then it kinda doesn’t help
The problem is not posture, but setup... Usually the tables are very low for tall DJ’s like Dillon so they end up hunched over trying to see what’s on their little screens...
he's such a total bro. Remember watching him at Ultra before he became big, in one of those smaller tent areas. Good to see him do so well in the last 8 years
马云婕 Hey, if you liked this video, you should check out my recent trap mix (also have deep house mixes too!). Stop by, might like what I have. Peace always
This video lets me know I'm perfectly capable of being a DJ. I used to think it'd be difficult but now I see it's just turning a couple dials and matching BPMs.
3:11 as a music producer you can literally dj without headphones, you'll already know how many bars or beats you'll start a song when mixing songs live. 💯🔥
I only got into listening to more EDM recently. This is my first encounter of Dillon Francis and tbh he's a pretty chill dude. I thought he would have that 'too good for us' vibe. But no he looks like a chill dude to hang with
Great video. Although I’m going to disagree about the vinyl. CDJs are great for sure! And if I’m at a club I’d generally use them. But I do plenty of smaller gigs in which the sl-1200s are preferred. They feel better to mix and look better on stage. But if I had a lot more money to have top of the line CDJs, I might feel different.
Because it's video about DJing? I'm aware that he knows his stuff, I've seen his techno sets in his studio. I still think it would be odd to have someone, who tells people again and again he's NOT a DJ, giving advice about DJing. That's like having Supa hot fire telling people about rapping. He's NOT a rapper.
Kind of a logical answer to the CDJ -> mixer vs CDJ -> Serato -> mixer volume discrepancy: CDJs usually run off of straight AC power allowing them to tap into higher wattage for the built-in amp most CDJs possess. The Serato box uses a converter (IIRC it's 12 volts but might even be lower) with much lower amperage and a less powerful post-amp, which means you have to rely on your mixer's gain to boost the signal before running it through the mixer lines.
As someone who is looking to try to start Djing im finding some of this imformative. I dont understand alot yet, but im getting there. Dillon remains a true inspiration to me and maybe one day i can meet him not only as a fan but as a fellow producer.
Some1 like Carl Cox or Richie Hawtin would have satisfied a much broader spectrum of your audience for this. And Dillon means well here, but many of these answers border on misinformation. - concerned citizen and dj xxo
Dillon is talented and knows his shit too. Plus his public image and marketing is crazily good. But he targeted his answers at people who want to DJ similar (mainstream EDM) sets to him, as they were the people who were likely to be asking questions and watching this video.
I know right was laughing when he said that xD Im like hmmm the list is long.. Basically almost everybody that comeptes in the redbull 3style uses turntables, DMC comeptitions, Goldie awards etc etc... This is the reason i hate on house DJ's
Well, I like Dillon Francis but this quote was ignorant af! The feeling of vinyl is unbeatable and there are a lot of DJs who still use turntables. Nobody should ever complain about what hardware someone uses!
DJ Easy Buckets don't hate on all house/techno/electro/etc DJs because there's still plenty that use vinyl and quite a few that use vinyl exclusively still. and white labels and exclusives on vinyl are normal to see even if they mainly use 2 CDJs hate on the mainstream DJs like Dillon Francis that apparently are ignorant to other DJs outside their bubble of pop-EDM
Holler at your boy!
Love you man!

"If you don't want a bad back, don't become a DJ" lol priceless
or workout your upper and lower back, do yoga streches for back, or buy a foam roller.
or even easier, just have good posture
can u even have good posture if u are a dj? like your back can be straight/normal, but your neck is always goign to be looking down/hunched over.
Mewzyc I knew right away he was gunna say his lower back, my back kills after long sets. Only way is to raise the gear on stands and even then it kinda doesn’t help

02:31
"Diplo how do you deal with diarrhea during sex"?
One word,buttplug.
Damn it i literally JUST said that
😂😂😂😂😂
He said "sets"
he said sets 😂
I never really listened to his music that much, but he seems like a really great. down-to-Earth kind of guy.
I wish i understood half the shit he just said :D
Really not that hard to understand, just a bit of research might let you understand all of it
If you get into the scene and stay curious, with time you will understand more or less everything he's saying and more
Just know that laptop dj’s are lazy.
i thought this was going to hardly be serious, and i end up learning more about DJing than i expected. good stuff
Kim Jong Un but supreme leader we are not as bright as you!
Dillon lowkey has a crush on DJ Snake
Lowkey
His love for his homies
Who Doesn't?
"lowkey"
awww. i see.... x-)
Porter Robinson use his own songs when going live sets,with little extra touch XD
ken kaneki i thought porter was a woman
i cant deny that LOL,well his hair was changing a lot from the past
Porter doesn't DJ though. He's more of a live performer.
Flume performs his music only as well.
i loved his and Madeon's Shelter tour, with all the mashups of their songs. that was dope :P
This was so informative 😄
But,
Fuuuuu, "Jersey Shore" cast is NY trash, not NJ...trash.
Yh wtf😂😂😂
love how the 'Pioneer' is blanked out on CDJs yet you can still see it clearly on the mixer lol
Meme lord Francis at it again.
I understood none of this DJ talk but Dillon is gorgeous so it’s ok 😻😂
Super cool to see TMSV make an appearance in the questions! That man is an insane talent and makes some killer jungle tunes
I literally listened to his music like 10 minutes ago, and then this is uploaded.
Tuks same
Yeeeees, Dillon has been my favorite dj for ever. Funniest on the scene no doubt
G E R A L D!!

My "Mi Gente" short edit appears on Dillon's Serato at 5:19. Thanks bruv!!!
Link to that mix?
7:35 😂
If you guys don't follow Dillon's Instagram you're not living life. His comedy is gold.
7:47 he finally used his prank on DJ Snake

This video lets me know I'm perfectly capable of being a DJ. I used to think it'd be difficult but now I see it's just turning a couple dials and matching BPMs.
Agghh yeah that's all you do if your DJing at a highschool prom.
6:44 "DEEP SHIT" folder..
Joao Dias also "DEEEEEEEEEEPPEERRR" folder
3:11 as a music producer you can literally dj without headphones, you'll already know how many bars or beats you'll start a song when mixing songs live. 💯🔥
lmfaooo... Gotta love these EDM Dj's man. You must be blind if you think no one uses turntables anymore.
Because they don't... haha JK
But who does though other than apparently DJ Snake. I know there are quite a few, I just don't know who they are.

Going to see this dude in concert in 2 weeks. What a coincidence that this pops up rn...
I've already watched this 3 times. Get out of my recommended
Ayyy that nocturnal folder at 6:58 that was a great set btw 👌🏽 my second time seeing Dillon Francis and definitely worth it again
I didn’t understand a single thing he said but I still enjoyed the entire video 😂
Saw dillon open for Zedd a few years ago. One of the most fun nights I've ever had. Amazing energy
I don’t understand a thing he just said but I enjoyed the video cause Dillon’s a funny dude
Love how he used his Yung Pinch collab for the example 5:55 !!!
Arnold Schwarzenegger answers bodybuilding questions
Any! He shouted out Joel! He's my favorite, and Dillon's right, he does use his own music only.
Deadmau5, Eric Prydz... and who cares DJs mix songs.
PLEEEEEEEEASE DO ANOTHER!!!!!!!!!
How come Dillon looks so similar to Dj Hanzel? Are they brothers?
Nah they're just cousins, like The Rock and Dwayne Johnson
I don't know DJs because i'm lame but this dude seems super funny and chill.
Giving deadmau5 that shout out. I love you bro
LOVE IT! Thanks Dillon and WIRED!
Only DJ u know who uses vinyl still is DJ Snake??? Dude, theres a whole turntablism scene out there!!!!!
And not only turnablist but also a lot of House, Trance and Techno DJs do still use turntables. That quote was so ignorant!
That’s the joke.
5:19 the crates he has are goals.
He’s just Ben Wyatt w a backward hat and sleeves
I only got into listening to more EDM recently. This is my first encounter of Dillon Francis and tbh he's a pretty chill dude. I thought he would have that 'too good for us' vibe. But no he looks like a chill dude to hang with

Best WIRED video ever! Loving this
Why the hell is he using timecode and not HID
Serato came for free with his ancient Rane SL-2 card. Why pay extra 150 bucks for a club kit? LOL
system:re he's got the money and HID mode is so much better since u can get hotcues and the cdjs aren't just dummys
because its Dillon Francis
@Renigadecrew I know. It was a joke. You don't have to deal with RCA cables and stuff with HID.
i love his humbleness
weird to see him behaving serious haha
Y’all need to do an updated one 🙌🏿
DJ Hanzel: Dis ist the vorst video I have ever seen, there is nothing deep about vit.
Thanks DJ hanzel for explaining everything for people who don't DJ and produce

The only DJ that has to ice their neck after a set is zomboy 😂
Excision
Zomboy is my fav 😍😍😍 Nuclearr
Dhillon is a genuine chill guy
My #1 DJ 😆🙊💕💕💕
@9:38 could be because Serato has an auto gain function that level volumes out,, and if you play straight CDJ to mixer, that is not always the case.
How about DJ Shadow he's a great dj
if there's one who doesn't use his laptop and cdjs its shadow ahah
ENZO PROBE does he make music though
@@tom7131 you're joking
3:10 Dj Brace at DMC 2016 did some cool stuff with vinyls
"Throw out your turntables" nahhhhh brah
most informative and amazing dj out there!
What software he's using?
Shockwave Music Serato for festival and club shows and SD cards for afterparties or more “relaxed” shows
Dillon Francis thanks
Dillon Francis the man himself
Serato, let us know if you have any questions :)
How many people would just love to spend a day chillin with dillon
You should have called Deadmau5 for this.
Deadmau5 is not a really a dj though.
I know :) who said he has to be one to be on these videos?
Because it's video about DJing? I'm aware that he knows his stuff, I've seen his techno sets in his studio. I still think it would be odd to have someone, who tells people again and again he's NOT a DJ, giving advice about DJing. That's like having Supa hot fire telling people about rapping.

He is more of a dj then dildon francis

Same. Love this video though🤣
Niceee. Thanks for uploading! Can’t wait to watch other artists/dis.
LOL what about DJ Qbert or A-Trak they also use turntables. They are champions.
It's celebrity DJ Dillon Francis.
Could you get Tokyo machine on the show?

Don't leave off John Digweed my man. But yes, you are correct. They are way more knowledgable in the field.
Dillon is talented and knows his shit too. Plus his public image and marketing is crazily good. But he targeted his answers at people who want to DJ similar (mainstream EDM) sets to him, as they were the people who were likely to be asking questions and watching this video.
Why not both. If they get Carl Cox on here it'll be cool to see a different perspective. Old school vs New school
No love for Armin? 😉
dude, at 4:02 i feel so called out.. As i watch this super baked and actually got the joke.... XD
DID NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING

Cuz ur dumb
