[@Visionofthehague]

Hey dude, just thought I’d share a bit of my story, I taught myself on KZbin, I’m a quick learner. Your mindset was a huge part of my current success . 1.5 years after purchasing an Rx2 and zero experience, I managed to land my first gig, for Amazon! 3 hours, 0 prep, just a positive and confident mindset...Thanks for the wise, kind words. It’s what the music is about. The corona period was just what I needed to focus on something constructive, instead of losing my mind. ☺️ I wish everyone the best on their journeys💙 See you all in Ibiza Don’t techno for an answer

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

Haha I love that: don't techno for an answer!!! legend!!! I'm going to use it!!

[@Visionofthehague]

@@ClubReadyDJSchool hahaha go right ahead my man and keep up the good work, I appreciate it.

[@MrsBrownBombshell]

Congratulations! Do you feel like landing Amazon was more from networking or specific steps?

[@AllesEntertaiment]

you nailed it on the head. been DJing for 12 years now and everything you said is true, especially the "put your ego aside and give'em what they want" Part. DJing isnt about you, its their party, they wanna have a great night.

[@Scott-got-caught]

Exactly why I never went pro. I play what I want, for me. I'm not there for them

[@NoMonNoFon]

The enthusiasm, the passion, the aura, the smile. So contagious, so inspirational. Best DJ teacher. Ever.

This guy has a lot of love for what he does I can tell just by how he expresses everything. I could say the same

[@Nono-mm6zs]

this is hands down the most informative video on KZbin on how to plan and do a set!! I felt and understood the whole lot and got what needs to be done on the night from this video, remarkable teaching Andrew . well done my friend!!

[@UncleCatfish]

around 11:30 or so you bring up a point I feel like doesn't get touched on enough. "How much of your style are you willing to compromise for the sake of the vibe" (not verbatim). I'm not always so flexible about this 😂. call me stubborn if you must... I'm a DJ, but I'm also a producer and I want to DJ mostly my tunes and tunes from other producers I respect/ want to share with the world . it takes me a long time to find a venue that wants what I have to offer, but I personally find it so much more satisfying when I "found my crowd" instead of trying to figure out what they wanna hear. I understand that doesn't work in all live music environments. But I love when I'm invited to play because people know my music and I don't get a single request all night bc they kinda know what to expect from me or trust me bc they've seen me before. amazing video as always :) ❤️ ✌️thanks friend!

[@rayw8123]

One of if not thee best DJ lessons. I mainly play Dancehall and hip hop and I usually do longer sets. When I first started I was so eager to get ppl into what I was doing that I would play all the big songs early and run out of road. PPT (Pace, patients and timing) is just as important to me as transitions. Especially for the genre I play ppl focus more on song selection than transitions. Either way I love your enthusiasm, it always keeps me coming back even though We play different genres and different styles a DJ is a DJ props and love from Toronto.

[@jamesjardine3763]

Great advice, and couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m DJing my own halloween party with a large group of friends in a small flat. The last two I’ve done have been short sets with a few friends in between spotify playlists. But this time I’ve got 320 tracks ranging in genre, energy and tempo and I’m really excited! Making an early and peak playlist is the sound advice I needed to hear 2 weeks before the night. I’m currently in the process of mapping my cues but I’ll be separating them into those playlists as I do it now! Love your content bro, please keep spreading the love and knowledge ❤🎶🎧📚

[@jimblight8446]

Great content. I had a Wednesday pub residency for several years. The quieter first hour or so was given over to new tracks and less well known older stuff. I had several regular customers who always showed up early specially for the “music lesson”. Incidentally, a video item on microphone selection and technique would be so good for many new and aspiring pub/party/private function DJs.

[@thestereokid6073]

Played my first gig last night! Played at my favourite beach bar where I used to work as a tender. Completely had to compromise on style since the venue has a singalong vibe and the kids love the golden oldies. Literally chanting ABBA to get me to play Man After Midnight. But the energy was insane and the managers called us in for a beer today to talk about more sets coming up. Finished your club ready DJ corse just in time too. Thanks man!

[@djwaynelive]

I wish I'd come across someone as inspring & passionate about DJing 30 years ago. I'm 54 now, and while I have dabbled with playing out, I somehow lost confidence just as things were starting to move for me. I became affraid of the responsibility, which led to poor life choices. I would say to anyone thinking of going pro in this field: Listen to Andrew. He is the sense and intelligence that I couldn't find in myself back in the 80s & 90s. If you have confidence issues, as I did, take it from a dreamer, who's still dreaming. Face your fear and make the dream your reality. This guy's passion, and education will show you the way.

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

Thanks Wayne :)

[@nathanielgarcia3962]

Love the vibe and honesty. I've been practicing and getting better. I'm going on 5 months and I can't belive my progress. I've done a couple small parties and felt the power of music and I'm hooked. Next month will be my biggest challenge playing and a bar/club with awesome audio and I'm ready but nervous. I heard less is more and don't try to be perfect. I have the ddj flx6 and it's ok but it'll do until I get deeper into this world. Still have so much to learn and currently having trouble understanding the setting to loop anything to loop smooth. Any chance you can help ?

[@TradingTheta89]

You plugging your dj course isnt something to be self conscious about. You're a Dj. You have things to teach as a DJ. Let the world knooow! Statistically more people will not be interested than interested, but the people that could be interested should know about it 🎉

@@ClubReadyDJSchool Cheers! One question, I'm concious of how long I play tracks and don't want to play a track for too long (Unless the crowd is loving it)...but sometimes the tracks have long/quiet breaks in the middle, I don't want to play a long boring section but also don't want to be limited to just playing the last 2:30 mins of a track for the sake of skipping the boring middle part. Best to keep some high's or low's from the other track playing to liven the middle part up?

If I followed your playlist methods. Damn!!!

[@StamyIIReturn]

What I've learned so far playing out on the biggest club here in Norway is that its easy to play on the crowdy nights. When there is less people (due to increased covid) its way harder to play the right tracks. One song that they dont really like and off they go!

[@remorema]

The best I've known in crowd control was Dj Vibe playing deep house when he was resident in Kremlin (Lisbon). First only with the old school technics MK3 (4 of them) but then I still remember this one night when samplers and loopers started to have their place in club setups, I swear this mfkr was close to 30m with this 32b loop just playing with the equalizer and the crowd went crazy on this journey where he had us all right where he wanted to. Truly epic.

Nice! I have been enjoying yo videos for a while now thank you for all this info.

I’ve been wanting to practice on these bad boys but I have no access.

another insightful video, thanks Andrew, however, do you have an 'auto playlist' for early in the event that plays itself, so that its not as tiring and gives you a bit of a break early on?
