Phone bans are far more complex than what has come up in your conversation. It's now a privacy and security issue. Berghain is now permanently closed as of 26 September 2024 as is Watermark

One year ago, I did my first club set ever for a group that also posts sets to KZbin. Since then, I've posted about 35 more sets and am closing in on 1M cumulative views, had a few more in-person gigs - including a small festival I helped run, was hired for an afterparty in Zurich, and my prospects are looking good heading into year 2. I live in a small college town in the US, and I started at 50 years old. None of what modest success I've achieved would have happened absent KZbin and social presence.

What a story! Great inspiration to anyone out there! Thanks for sharing

[@MrFox1111]

I love that.

[@Marvelpic]

Another great podcast.

As someone with 3 kids (5, 9, 11yrs) - I’ve djed some super fun kids parties and they love it. would guarantee that generation is still gonna have fun dancing and partying in 10 / 15 years:

[@hiddentechno8266]

I tweeted about this, used AI to do the number crunching. Bottom line is none of the factors affecting club closures can be affected by the DJs. The other thing is that many for DJs now, music is secondary and "brand" is primary. Social media has overtaken music in terms of importance as artists look to create followings so they can then sell soaps or whatever. Not really surprised we are entering a new downturn, which seems to happen every 10 years anyway.

[@DJMJM]

That's what I've noticed for the past 15 years is that it's no longer the music, it's about your "Brand". Which is quite sad since it wasn't that way 20+ years back.

INTRO is FIRE!!!!!

[@offtherecord-crossfader]

We Try! 😉

[@thisguyrools2807]

The underground 😎 warehouse parties, Illegal raves, people want to party

[@RhyzmaBeetz]

History repeats it's self or we never learn ;)

[@Bhulk79]

This!!!! The underground never died...not even during covid

[@thisguyrools2807]

@@RhyzmaBeetz the underground isn’t subject to the same rules or social norms that clubs most obey. There is no guest list, no bottle service, no half naked bottle service girls who you have no real shot with, no overpriced drinks or pretentious patrons. Just vibes

​@@thisguyrools2807EXACTLY BTW I AM THE UNDERGROUND 😅

As an open format, wedding DJ. My thoughts are always just cos’ you’re getting married you don’t change what you dance to. I still play as if I was a club DJ and definitely always as a bar DJ. I’ve also recently started DJing on vinyl again at weddings, there’s definitely a call for it. Crate digging is what I love.

[@bikesbeersbeats]

Very cool to hear other people are into youtube mixes! All the way back when The Panacea Boiler Room mix came out was how I managed to get myself through 30 mins of cardio 😂 i still watch it today when I’m struggling with motivation. I think we’ve already evolved into new forms of djing with KZbin content. I find I’ll play a mix in one tab and then find a POV of someone racing downhill mountainbike on mute and watch that. Theres a guy called jd follow cam that does kite surfing in maui with old school dnb, works so well together!

[@DJMattyRage]

I've recently found a big fan-base in the VR Club scene. It's surprising how many talented dj's are playing on the daily to a live audience in VR.

[@dks90768]

I've been SO curious on how to get into the VR Club scene! Shelter and Loner look like such cool places to dj and hangout

[@offtherecord-crossfader]

Love this! It's definitely where its going

[@DJMattyRage]

@@dks90768 Get at me and I can help you out. If you stream to Twitch already it's really and easy switch to vr.

[@timsmith8506]

$87,439 to buy a $25 bottle and a 0.0001% chance of meeting a woman. Why would anyone go to a club these days?

[@offtherecord-crossfader]

Fair point 😂

[@e1ectroniKa]

Haha Jamie found Flavour Trip 😅

[@NowWeComeAlive]

So can you make money from uploading mixes to KZbin and not get copyright strikes?

[@offtherecord-crossfader]

@@NowWeComeAlive to an extent. If you take fair use in to consideration, you will be able to monetise some content. But not everything!

[@Gmh6477]

Late bars are wiping out clubs, we are in a time where it’s all about taking requests, keeping customers in venue and playing out crowd pleasers it’s not about what you or your mates want to hear..

[@Only1retro]

Social media has done so much, we might move to a more p2p with Djing in the coming years

[@djbuckleselliott9754]

Oh the topic of You Tube. I started to do posts a few years ago but what I found is that I would spend the time with the mix and edit. Post then be Copy right hit and mix would be taken down. Any thoughts on the topic?

[@blendmastertv9274]

I remapped the DDJ 200 really wicked with VDJ. I'm going to do a video on it

[@bboymac84]

39:30 sampled this song

[@biddlybongdavinport5995]

We peaked in the 90s, since then it's been declining.

[@e1ectroniKa]

Read: this guy peaked in the 90s. He's been in decline ever since

[@abumc5104]

if down a month 10 nightclubs in UK are closing, that means, it ALL became too expensive, the music(DJ)got generic, boring, lame or soulless, or folks wanna party private or on festivals only. interests/hobbies change. '99 was the last year i saw a nightclub from inside. easy to leave clubhopping.

[@TOM-cd1zb]

Whats the name of the Disco House Track please? :)

[@workshopninjathe1st]

DJing started at illegal parties - and illegal (pirate) radio stations. It will never die…

[@seansines]

It's not going to be long before Calvin Harris headlines Glastonbury. You'd generally struggle to find an artist with more consistent hits than him over the past however many years.

[@offtherecord-crossfader]

No doubt

[@Gemmusic-w6p]

Oh Cool im able to leave a comment. Hmmmm wasnt earlier

[@offtherecord-crossfader]

Weclome to the party

[@duskopemusic]

It’s not going anywhere

[@tobypage7189]

I mean, none of this started in clubs.......

[@offtherecord-crossfader]

Exactly

[@electronicbox6990]

Why BIG shout for Alpha Tetha? It is not big, it is not shout at all. It is more like a whisper to me. Total crap gear from them lately, and things will become even more south in the near future!

[@thanefawkes8630]
