Get GIGS and improve your DJing for $0.00

[@mariowagner9454]

"Take that gig no matter what" helped me the most because I was to afraid to make mistakes

[@sandmanlance6497]

my man got a sponsor! everyone register for skillshare!

[@adrianramirez9973]

“You gotta do what you gotta do” Damn right

[@TheSkateDude1000]

I love your honesty about getting music when starting out. I mean who has never purchased music before even trying to DJ!

[@joshuasharma9839]

I like how u interact with ur fans : likeing ,loving and replying their comments,most djs don't interact with their fans like u....great bro.......

[@djsammy.b]

Love the tip saying that we should work with what we have. You could have the most expensive equipment on the market, but it doesn't necessarily make you the best DJ. Thanks Carlos😁

[@phinds1]

Wow FINALLY someone being REAL and admits that he downloaded music from youTube!! RESPECT!!!

[@martinezofficialmusic]

I really loved the connections tip. I agree that making connections is the best way to get gigs! Meeting people at clubs in person and attending there gigs and becoming close to them really helps you gain a reputation. Also taking advantage of free gigs! Thank you for those tips!

[@hotchocolatedog]

im 11 years old I've been djing for about a year and i just want to say that your videos have inspired me lots! i practise everyday and have been making progress thanks so much for all your help in creating my future dj courier

[@djcarlo]

That is awesome! Continue to rock on!

[@damiendecomarmond1996]

My favourite tip was "work with what you have". I've been making mixes myself and gained credit for it, I've gained some popularity and it seems that it's likely to continue. Thanks for the tips btw.. keep it up!

[@yasaduana9523]

My fave tip is Work with what you have. I don't opt for expensive gears/studios I started producing music and practice djing inside bedroom with low spec laptop. Motivation is what gets me started and strong determination is what keeps me going.

[@Мемерони]

I actually like the first tip due to how it relates to me. I started off DJing with a crappy laptop and a very cheap controller. I still have a lot to learn, but by watching your awesome videos, it makes things much easier. I look forward to when I first perform because of you....... Keep up the good work.

[@tommydoxdj]

Love the «join dj groups» because I think Networking is essential for getting to a place. You start knowing people who loves what you love and you can help each other :-).

[@MegaManiacMike]

Watching these pushed me to buy my first DJ controller

[@enowamusic8286]

Me too haha(:

[@MegaManiacMike]

DJ Carlo Atendido it’s goin, slowly but surely😅 still just trying to get into the rhythm

[@pixelfreak2626]

[@dwaynejohnson4892]

Me too

[@DJSHTEEX]

4 months ago I started. I got it all. I sent apps for clubs and even got on test gig in one of popular clubs in town. They told me that they are interested and will call me when then need dj.... soo,im waiting :D Im still practicing 10 h/day 😂 Most my friends and djs I was talking to said to wait cuz Im not ready yet lol I said I am and I went there! 😁Was so nervous and I could do better!

[@TeaBagginsMcGee]

My favorite part is the building relationships, building trust. I can't tell you how many times other "dj's" have asked me to help them get gigs. The way you listed was the EXACT way I got started. No one works with strangers in this business. You need a name and/or built trust to go anywhere

[@BenOnFifa]

Tip 1 has to be the best. I’ve played some poor controllers before working my way up and you can always make it sound good if you work hard enough.

[@eliagranchi1059]

My favorite tip is numer one, it's so inspiring and encouraging! We can't stop practising, we won't stop practising, we won't stop DJing! 🔥🎶

[@Yojindo]

I appreciate that you were candid about having the right attitude of hustling as a brand new inexperienced DJ and getting gigs in anyway shape or form possible. Everybody has to start somewhere.

[@djduartehenriques7961]

This video show everything that an unexperienced Dj like me needs to know. All the tips you refer were 100% accurate and the one that really caught my attention was the one that talks about receiving no money in your first gigs because what you need to gain in the first gigs is experience and star to build your reputation and really inspired me

[@deezyrides]

Making connections and getting to know the staff at the places you want to work at is definitely the most important

[@kristofferwilliams9776]

Tip #5: Making friends I think is the most helpful for me currently... I never thought of being an attendant/fan before being a dj... Very good advice!

[@jonmacdonald5944]

My favorite tips is networking. Get to know the promoters, staff and djs at your local clubs. Offer to help, free of charge of course. Do promotions, hype events, bring friends out with you and eventually you'll get your chance to shine!!

[@hharvey3]

I agree with providing mixes to multiple sources. I place my music on mixcloud, soundcloud, Hearthis, plus; I drive uber and stream mixes in my car and provide the mixes to the passengers.

[@purestaxentertainment]

Working with what you have is very important- you can constantly learn and master your craft so you are somewhat prepared and that can take you far

[@yuuyundayo]

Make friends also known as connection. Definitely one of the most important tips if you wanna walk through the priority lane like how you would in airports.

[@jakubwiderynski8420]

I liked that you said to give a physical copy of your mixes in the form of a CD, because it shows the DJ actually cares and goes the extra mile.

[@richardgrant8634]

My favourite tip was the one about DJ packs because KZbin suggestions can only get you so far, a playlist already prepared by another DJ would save lots of time

[@andriushka07]

Make friends is the most usefull tip.

[@ghostqueen2463]

My favourite tip is number #3. The advise I took from it was to consistently make content and put the mixes out there.

[@daveezekiel8540]

Abang na abang ko upload mo dj carlo btw Im became mobile dj by accident, na irecomend ako nung pinag simulan kong mobile crew lang ako dati pero nirecomenda niya ako sa kakilala niya mag momobile, Im so nervous at that time I dont know how to play but Ive thinking na di naman ako nila kila kila makakalimutan din nila kung pumalpak man ako and now focus ako sa mag karoon ng madami Gigs but Im looking forward to DJing in the club hoping na mapasok ako, anyway my favorite tip is #7 thankyou for your tip i will visit that website tho!

[@gaaron73]

My favorite tip was the RekordBox Settings You’ve Never Used. And this is because I’ve been wanting to scratch on my ddj 400 and didn’t know how to change cross fader setting and you helped me so much. Now I can scratch on my Ddj 400

[@danpinuela2079]

I just love everything. I am just about to start actually. I got inspired when I saw your performance during a world championship. Since then, I've been your subscriber. ❤️❤️❤️

[@coreyhall7355]

Been DJing for many many many years. Everything you said works to get things going!

[@chipko]

I just got back from my 3rd ever gig (but first one with a DDJ-400) playing to people who flew in from Berlin. I am beaming and I pushed the notion of wanting to do it again -wooop, I can!!! :D The experience itself is priceless, I dont mind doing this for free when I can enjoy when people dance to the tunes I'm playing! Small intimate gigs are fun and rewarding, if you can't find one, start one!

[@deepanshu__sahu]

Yep that's right" you have to take that first gig" whatever happens, whether you like it or not, whether the crowd is your type or not u have to take that first chance bcuz it brings you a confidence and the test of ur skills that what u have improve...

[@Jafurr]

My favorite tip is the first one, cuz i keep finding excuses and saying okay when i get this or that I'll be good, and hearing that i just gotta use what i have and just practice was beautiful

[@christiancanseco8579]

My favorite tip is the tip number 2 because i've done it for a year like i had free music by downloading some packs and my friends also supporting me too by giving me some of their songs so i can use it for some gigs. And i really love what djing has done for me because it gives me a lot of ideas like remixing some musics, download some acapellas so that i can use it for my remixes and i had a few remixes that i had made and i share it with my friends. That's all dj carlo thank you so much for this tips and i really appreciated it ❤

[@maribrinas]

I love your videos and my Favorite tip is the first tip "work with what you have" and I really like that one

[@DavidSantiago1958]

I am glad you acknowledged the different ways to get music.

[@yuvaltalmor8962]

my favorite tip is joining the a dj group. that way, you can get a lot of music, and it also onnects with your first point which what to do if you dont have connections. so this way, you will build connections, and your Dj career can get a lot better!

[@djkarlvincent]

my favorite tip po idol is 1 and 4 because i really need gigs but i dont have enough exposure and connections. Thanks for the tip idol

[@Erni3B]

Going to events where other DJs you admire plays and study the Dj how he plays, what works how the crowd reacts. Learned a ton from this already!

[@tonichristy6998]

Love your Tips, now make me more confident to djing and learn how to do it for beginer. Thank's for sharing Carlo

[@maccoyantonio1490]

I like the tip no.3 . I always watch their mixes and check out their tracks so that I can use it in my mixes using my new ddj sb3. :D by the way thank you for the tips !!

[@thejuanandonly3671]

Wow, thanks for making this video. All these tips were great! Im getting my DJ Controller soon and this video really helped me set a basic understanding of what I should do when I do get my controller. Thanks bro!

[@Peaky17]

It doesn't matter how much theory you know about djing, practice and experience are always better imo, keep up the good work man!

[@FZKsk8]

My favourite is about free music. I always try to make it legal way. The main reason is not to stealing from our brothers in arms. Second one is the quality. When you're ripping tracks from social media and/or SoundCloud you got to worry about how crappy it sounds on large speaker systems.

[@senorjuls6260]

Love that you always advice people to start and work with what they have

[@LaDiscoGuishbac]

My favorite tip is to use what ever you have. I started off with old equipment and would record music off the radio with cassette tapes and transfer them into CDs. Now I pay for music but we all have to start from somewhere.

[@j0nas5]

WORK WITH WHAT YOU HAVE! Definitely the pro tip! Depending your time and motivation other stuff, like music and gigs will come your way! I have pioneer ddj-400 and owning a pioneer t-shirt would make my set complete for the next gig qB-)!!!!

[@alexandrspiridonov2054]

I mostly like the third tip about making people happy, because It's one of the most important things in music. And thanks for the first tip, I've got the idea to make a youtube channel with my mixes of copyright-free music.

[@moiseshidalgo9934]

Hey Carlo I really share your thought on making real connections with dj friends and friends while going out on a night. I have been trying to start doing this since I am a beginner dj. This kind of videos are dope! Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

Already looking forward to your next vid! I loved the tips you gave to be able to get a gig, especially the 'bring a physical usb' one. Didn't think that would make a difference, will definitely try that!

Hi Carlo, I followed you for a couple months, and I have to say you are such a big inspiration, you helped me with my technique, I consider you as my teacher for literally EVERYTHING that concerns Djing, keep up the good work✌️

[@IvarBiggun]

Free music tip was by far the best as am always looking for music

[@lokmatatatata5869]

My favorite is "Check out Dj sets' tracklist" because it's makes me feel good and gives me idea for my mixes But it doesn't mean I don't like other advices I'll use all single one bro because of you!

[@RandomGuy-tf9im]

Love the tip saying that we should work with what we have and also make some genuine friends. This has affected me a lot well I haven't started djing I am a producer. I have some old equipment that my dad had and worked with what i had which was @the time to me not much but now it is a lot of equipment, the problem was software but i got it sorted it out, I got some record deal offers and opportunities. Friends also help to get o places where you couldn't on your own. Thanks Carlos

[@wobblegarden9525]

My favorite tip was paying the 10$ for a month of legit dj music. I didn't know that existed til this video and I will 100% be checking it out!!!!

[@hectorramirez5413]

Great tips. Practicing on mixing is the best tip to take in mind and focus when being a beginner dj.

[@alessandromarino9075]

The best tipe yoi gave is for sure the one about free music, essencial in order to pursuit your dream!

[@mf0104tkx]

Awesome video as usual Carlo. Best tip was making friends and connections. Because of making friends and being supportive of their events, I managed to get booked for one of the slots in their events. Other tips also helped me out in my career. Thank you for sharing the other tips with us!

[@sonoMT]

"TAKE THAT GIG NO MATTER WHAT" is my favourite tip, and i believe that the most important thing is really learn how to keep the dancefloor, and secondly the money

[@lumitronhd9382]

Sooo I would say Tip 3 is really helpful. I think if you hand the mix physicly it is much more personal... But I also fully agree in tip 5

[@markfranco9929]

I like tip no. 2 beacause im just starting as a dj but no equipments but with music no groups but I usually joined in sound system operators to contribute knowledge on how to mix and how level your self

[@marcremigio]

Hi dj carlo you taught me everything that i know right now, i always watch your video tutorials and now I’m having gigs on my own! And thank you so much, I’m really looking forward to meet you and learn more from you!

[@robsd]

Wanna win that shirt. My favourite tip was no. 5 because taking that first gig helps get you the connections and allows you to prove yourself to get booked again!

[@dipeshgurung3298]

Best thing to have tracklist of your fav dj mix is that u get to know where the real magic happens & use that trick when u step in those magicians shoes.

[@stevealmeida12]

Hey brother, definitely practicing is key as well as taking gigs with zero ego and having fun. Great vid thanks Carlos

[@terrancehui4739]

My top favorite tips I love it on how to build up loop for transition. It gives me an idea on how to transition my track into another with creativity!

[@KIRPODCASTPLAYS]

Great job Dj Carlo Atendido you have great tips and you are right when you first start take all gigs get that experience.

[@ThomasMcIntosh]

AWESOME video! 👏👏👏 BUT... I have a question... I have a roughly $1500 budget for some nice turntables. (Not controllers, but turntables) What would you recommend? I saw your description said s3 and plx 500. Not a huge fan of those because no hot cues and they aren’t durable enough for mobile DJs. And the other setup was too expensive for me. Thanks for reading if you do!

[@cori4758]

The tip about making different types of mixes is one of my favorites! I think its super important to showcase diversity in your mixes! Thanks for the tips Carlos!

[@marvinmarcos8424]

Nice tips...i do a lot of the tips you have said from music to going out in events djing for free and promoting myself doing some mixes and distributing it to my friends... its a tough world out here to have a club gigs or event but as long as i love what i am doing i dont care about the compensation its the joy of seeing people enjoy mt stuff that is whats more important to me... hope you still remember me bro, my sister got the bag allready and its on its way here now in paris thanks a lot and godbless.

[@narcisnegru8195]

I love the no 3 tip you have for us, cuz i am in the industry for quite some time but i still do that

[@simonweigold1871]

In my opinion the most useful tip is the 'ripping music'. Even if that's unfair for the artist, it is necessary for them when they start out to spend as little money as possible, since they don't make any money from DJing. When you start making money from playing DJ gigs, then you can start investing this money for the music.

[@ryanmudiee]

I would definitely say practicing with what you have is the best tip here! I have struggled a lot with my confidence trying to figure out how to become better and im getting there now, ive played a few gigs that were amazing and have one that im really excited about coming up! I have a long long way to go but these tips in this video are ABSOLUTELY what every dj should do, thanks a lot for the great content Carlo!!💙

[@yurgenp82]

Thank you for all the tips. I love your advice on taking the first gig no matter what. It is easy to get discouraged when things don’t go your way but every beginner dj goes through this. Could not agree more that practice is the key.

[@davidiakobidze2093]

Nice video About the tips- I think that tip number 4 is the best cause having a promoter is one of the most important aspect for a Dj

I appreciate you saying what you said about “swallowing your pride”. That’s so important. Thanks for making this video! I learned some new stuff. :)

[@kayleighdenheijer4830]

Thx for all the tips. All the tips are important, but I think that tip 7 is the most important. If you keep practicing, then you will get better. I gave up several times, because I didn't got gigs. But now with your tip, I'm going to practice a lot. Thx for the tips👍

[@ilay8740]

Best tip so far dropping it on the one/key mixing

[@thombly4962]

Music is the hardest thing for new DJs to learn how to get (legally). Thanks for the tips.

[@KoiFabiosa]

The best tip for me in this vlog is about making connections with club owners, promoters, DJs, regular customers and etc. Regarding getting free music, instead of ripping music out of Soundcloud and/or KZbin; it is better to look for Bootleg packs which has a better audio quality (Check the quality of your tracks using SPEK). There are tons of bootleg packs in Soundcloud that you can find (Mostlt EDM tracks though). If you have some cash, I would highly recommend a DJ record pool to build your music collection. It is Worth It!! I used BPM Supreme and it's awesome!😉👍

[@suhdude537]

All these tips were my favorite and useful! keep the videos coming they are really helpful!

[@ramilpagayunan8468]

Unfortunately, I can't afford any Dj controller yet. 😔 I only use my laptop for mixing for some minor events. I run for exposure and experience. I'm happy by making the clients and guests happy. "Take that gig no matter what" 😊 I'm praying for more blessings to come ! 😇

[@MKQO1]

Great advise "Building reputation...and trust" a great step to build your career :)

The best tip for me is the number 6 because i love to find how one famous dj do the transition between two tracks im stucked in for example or to see what tracks goes together better

[@KZU_dj]

Hey Carlo, I have a request. Could you do a video showing how to transition in cool ways between songs with vocals? For example reggeton. I would also like you to do a video explaining how to mix edm genres like progressive house, big room etc (not techno pleas, this is much easyer, it never has vocals or harmony, its just drums). I mean, I can do the normal transitions and some tricks you showed in some videos, but I would like to learn more. In addition, you normally focus your videos in beats wich are not similar to this style. Music that they usually play in Ultra, Tomorrowland and this festivals. Thanks man, keep it up!
