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 😂

Huge quality content that you deliver! 👌

[@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!

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

[@jasonlegister2277]

Good info

[@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.

[@charlesstansbury360]

This helped me out a lot! I wanted to buy yours lol I’ve been up 2 days now ripping my drive apart very hard work

[@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

[@SoireeSounds]

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

[@djblakecole]

This whole video was 🎯

[@jesilynofficial3454]

[@NickSpinelli]

You're so welcome!

[@soundcentral]

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

[@djsmellnloud7246]

and that bump and grind is a perfect example of a timeless classic

[@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

[@DJLEOdamadprofessor]

The birthday folder is key 🔑

[@DJSTOEK]

🖤

[@bennettshapiro7711]

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

[@ScojoDak]

*lol* I smoke when cueing and practicing too. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Steph.

[@djshortefromphilly]

Agree with all but the last point.🤷‍♂️

[@nankduggets9347]

Ha. Dood. Ur hilarious. Good info. N I’m dyin over here also.

[@DJFrizzie]

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

[@livinonaventure]

Porta has thee best buttered noodles. Yum!

[@djblakecole]

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

[@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.

[@djsmellnloud7246]

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

[@kevanstewart5951]

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

[@andijoseph]

Looking for the DJ Deville Birthday edit

[@CaribbeanZoul]

Wheres the HOUSE MUSIC CRATES???? 🤯 you rock

[@4u2nyc]

Light one up and go

[@JohnSmith-kn5wt]

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

[@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 :)

[@alyssalovethedj]

dirty versions are the shit!!!!

[@bitterXboifren]

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

[@johnnyrichmond31198]

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

[@NickSpinelli]

Good thinking!

[@johnnyrichmond31198]

@@NickSpinelli you'd be amazed the ideas I have my "friend". Let's have coffee and brainstorm.... It's slowin up ya know.... Just sayin......

[@djAXCESSmusic]

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

[@MrInternationalSound]

Yeah he went balls deep with his analysis 😅

[@kelrawlins8121]

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

[@johnnyrichmond31198]

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

[@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.

[@bennettshapiro7711]

Are Pennsylvania listeners more basic?

[@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!

[@DamienCross66]

You forgot breath spray or breath mints. I give them to people who need them. Hate someone coming talking to me or asking for a song & they smell like a sewer.......lol I'm like " Here, eat this & don't talk to me till you are done.".....lol

[@djsmellnloud7246]

listen🤣

[@djsmellnloud7246]

Birthday Bihh Trap Beckham..........thank me later Lil Spinelli💯💯.......Just to clear up what you said about drill music.... drill music was made famous by Chicago Rappers like a whole decade ago haven't you heard of Chief Keef lol nd he didn't even start it he just made it famous 🤣🤣🤣 but RIP Pop Smoke frfr

[@michaelrichardson2107]

you say my state of PA is basic speaking of basic New Jersey Dude really 👀

[@DJDREXTV]

I disagree... If I have a set up that's better... I am using my stuff

[@elephantgrass631]

USB "chords". Hahaha Come on bro. Why can't DJs spell?
