How I Prepare For A Club Gig (VERY IMPORTANT)

[@jeremynolf3570]

What’s crazy is I live in Pittsburgh and was visiting a buddy, and you were the DJ that night! Now here I am watching your channel 😂

[@enthusiast1]

This is just such wonderful advice... I nod my head slowly as a complimentary double-take... just so nice to see a good enterprising spirit giving such sound advice... oh... I just saw that... pun not intended! Thank you, Happy New Year 2025 DJ Nick & his fans!

[@SolViewStudios]

This was extremely helpful I’m definitely rewatching and taking notes😤

[@ricekrispie7138]

Huge quality content that you deliver! 👌

[@DJFrizzie]

Could you drop where we can download the birthday drop track you mentioned

[@KelvinBlessedTheBeat]

Bro great work god bless you 🔥

[@djgonz123]

What a great way to get your scouting report info. Another good one Nick.

[@artlehtinen]

Nick you deliver everytime! 🙏

[@tobydulanski9480]

Always bring your own stuff and backup stuff. Be The Ball!!!! LOL, JUDGE ME, club gear at the clubs in NY are usually beaten to death and partially dysfunctional. Have fun trying to entertain with JUNK!

[@DJJulzNJ]

It's the 24:20 for me!!! Preach!!! I've seen people put the controllers on top of the turntables, i'm like nooooooo i can show you how to use it lol

[@Emersonlagosypalmeras]

this is the best content thar ive ever seen hahaha, thanx for sharing your knowledge and experience

[@dj_cas]

great advice man thank you

[@matthewbohn765]

Kind of glad that clubs arnt big here in south Louisiana. It’s more bar scene, where we all bring our own controllers or whatever to play on. Most of the time we provide sound too, but that’s a whole different discussion. Haha

[@mikebeats7448]

Bravo Nick 👏 very valuable info, hope you get rebooked, cause you definitely did your homework, even without SID. -MB

Wedding DJ here that doesn’t play much for the bar/club scene. This video was very helpful!

Great video

The birthday folder is key 🔑

[@primegee]

Thank you for this. This video was SUPER helpful

[@dannysvinylrainbow4852]

I agree it's insulting to our craft . I just play for myself, friends and family. I'm retired and no longer work in clubs .And I've noticed the last few years on social media, these fake DJs and kids and toddlers and grandparents DJing but not really doing anything except touching knobs and buttons and smiling and lip syncing the music it's embarrassing. I'm glad that people are picking up the interest, but for goodness sake, practice, and be real . I also think that there are so many average Joe's,(non djs) doing this. Everyone is a DJ nowadays joining record pools when they're not really DJs and this is what pissed off the record labels. I believe this is why we're no longer able to use stems with streaming services. I liked it the way it was, and not what it's become. . everything has gotten out of hand. Just a few years ago when I told people I was a DJ they would think it was interesting, but nowadays I'm embarrassed to tell people that I DJ, because these punks make us look like fools.

Blink 182 is your “timeless banger”? You just made my day.

[@kevanstewart5951]

Great Video. Can I see what is in your crates?

[@ScojoDak]

11:10 - can we PLEASE add a left turn folder to beatsource?

[@NickSpinelli]

Good thinking!

Wise advice. 🙏❤

[@MrDJMikieMike]

I’m from PA, Weddings are traditional, but not behind on the Music.. I’ve attended many weddings in NJ Sayerville, Linden NJ and they were very basic. My nephew and his Wife had a DJ for their wedding. He was the Brides cousin he was from NJ. Tell ya he had so much Dead Air all night long, it got to a point I went up to him and asked him what does he do for a living he said he’s a Professional DJ for Clubs, Bars, Weddings in NJ and Philly, I had to tell him straight up he sucks. The one song the Bride and Groom wanted to hear was the Traditional Polish Bridal Dance, he assured them he had it. Well he didn’t have it so he played 3 polka’s then the Brides Great Aunt came up to dance with the Bride he throws on Metallica Enter Sandman on. I couldn’t hold back again I told him I couldn’t believe people hire him. I think all northeast is a very Traditional Area not just PA.

You're so welcome!

[@JohnSmith-kn5wt]

This seems like a whole lotta work when told you have free reign.

[@djsmellnloud7246]

your timeless banger is a great tip but you aint name the real timeless classics lol🤣

[@bitterXboifren]

Wha whaaaat? You sell crates? Bro,, i need that 😮

[@soundcentral]

Great video! How many songs did you end up playing that night?

[@johnnyrichmond31198]

Looking for the DJ Deville Birthday edit

[@djblakecole]

😅😂 yesss! I don’t want anyone to judge me because I’m a wedding dj 🥴 Lmao I love it here tho

[@quetaldanywpg5141]

Real talk can you still play R Kelly music and Travis Scott still ?

[@michaelmatthews1587]

I’m kinda curious about this too. In my area, no one has a problem with it, but I’m based around Huntsville, AL which is certainly not an accurate representative for other regions.

[@johnnyrichmond31198]

26:12- jesus, is it dark.out already?! #rantover

[@hollywoodthedj1673]

Good video but I kind of disagree on the bringing your one controller with to clubs because in a lot of clubs the house equipment sometimes be trash or really beat up or something broke and not working so having your controller with you will save your life in a pinch every time!

[@anthonybrancato4318]

Nick what do you normally charge for a 4 hour club gig? No equipment to load, just bringing in you and your laptop. Thanks and thanks for these videos.

[@DjGCue71]

yeah, he is really going to tell you. hahahahahahahahaha :)

[@kelrawlins8121]

Our dj world where I am must suck cause ain't no venue got cdjs u must have a controller!

[@bennettshapiro7711]

Are Pennsylvania listeners more basic?

[@djAXCESSmusic]

The demographic analysis made me laugh but if you do all of this you will definitely be prepared. nice job, nick
