The secret to becoming a GREAT DJ

[@michaelgear7642]

Amen to that brother, don’t matter what tricks you do if you’re playing songs that aren’t moving the floor

[@crcsector9]

You’re an inspiration. Knowing that it’s possible to reach out these levels give me hope ❤

[@gemmafox4170]

You are some boy! Your music makes my whole mood change in seconds 😊 keep knocking out those bangers for us you are loved ❤❤❤

[@A.hilevels]

Your power manifestation mate, I'm glad you do what you really love to do because I have the same dream and I am really late to it, but it's never late until the last day of life. I really love your energy. Keep doing it

[@stutones]

Coming from the DJ tricks master, this is brilliant advice for all DJs. Good music selection wins every time

[@darrensample4372]

I remember DJing at the bomb in Nottingham (a week before Sashas amazing Guestlist only Xmas party) playing future club classics, it was December 1997, so the set consisted of tracks from 92-97, real hands in the air to a packed dancefloor in room one we (my best mate and I) were the warm up act I suppose playing 10pm - 12am. After us some lad came on the decks and insisted on playing industrial techno to a crowd of say 60% 21 year old girls! Killed that dancefloor in two tracks........ At that point whilst me and my mate were having a cheeky pint at the bar, we were asked to go back on until close...... These days with the usb stick the list of tracks is endless, that night it was a good job we took a full record box and record bag each and took over playing tracks they all wanted to hear and dance to. Classics from that night included Shades of rhythm - sound of eden Pizzaman - babyloop Jimi Polo - better days (Sasha DMC mix) Blackout all-stars - I like it like that The list was endless.... Good times

[@martyash4848]

Effin well said... I went to the Funky Box plenty of times... and if it was you who played there (not sure) ... The dance floor was always effin bouncin...

Just happened to find you on here recently and can't wait to see you live somewhere, one of the best and I've heard a couple since '89 - keep on keeping the party bouncing 🕺 ❤

[@murph6559]

I would love to hear a set of everything you love not thinking about anyone else. Thats how tiesto became so big, he just played what he liked and didnt care about what anyone thought which is why he has some of the most unique dj sets of all time. I like the vocals and remixes and have seen you live in SF, truly amazing skills, but i hope you start playing mostly original stuff that we havent heard before. New vocals, new sounds, etc. innovate more than remixes and with ur skills you can be the best to ever do it

[@mr.peabody3509]

That, yes, but your determination and personality also contributed. You are great!

[@WobbigongSoundSystem]

[@AdrianMendoza-up5qc]

Love that brother 👌🏽

[@trudystrachan4555]

Absolutely 100 percent true xx

[@Salkinmusic]

When I play live I love playing with loops, scratching, vocal chants, hot cues and fx etc… But every person I’ve played with want me to stop “playing around” because they only want “soft” switches between songs like a spotify playlist 😂

[@ZanBernard]

I am 12 years old and i am DJ-ing for two years and all things i know i learned from you, now i know that the number one must be the people on the dance floor, they must always dance no mather what

[@wilrivera9453]

You seem like a really nice guy 👍 you kill it as a DJ

[@oliverleigh9854]

like in any industry. its not what you know but who you know and how much you wanna sell out.

[@djjelgui]

[@joshtrent7945]

Awesome advice man

[@nareshangelia-sookrajjr.1365]

Yes song selection, that’s my #1 problem. But working on it little by little. I’m a fan James I love what you do 🎧

[@jdb1013]

Never a truer word said

[@DJRichPallo]

Always been about the playlist. I love my dance music and Tech house but you go in anywhere and play 80s music guaranteed you've got a full dancefloor. Weird !

[@AJKEEZ]

Dude 🎉 so well said 👌

[@paxwebb]

Preach!

[@zion8303]

Yup...after 13+ years DJing, ive learned, its all about the journey. Also, dont feel like yall have to play pop, 90's nostalgia, predictable music. Underground works well too, in the right scene and mixed properly... there are dance floors that prefer NEW, unpredictable music.

[@gabrielncali8999]

Take me on a journey! 💃

[@p-reitz]

Word

[@GemmaMayHill]

Please answer this, as it WAS Garlands Liverpool you djed in as I had the best night's out of my life. Raving when you first started DJing!!! The music and atmosphere UNFORGETTABLE even way back then!!!🙌😊🎉

[@JamesHype]

I used to love going to garlands but only actually played there once or twice

[@GemmaMayHill]

@@JamesHype amazing can't wait for your creamfields set it'll be out of this world as always!!!🥳🎉🙌😊

[@JOAOWALLACE-rf1px]

[@SeraAvagostace]

what's the purple thing above his shoulder? 😂

[@Ktranphoto]

34, is it too late James?

[@bigorangenation41]

That’s hilarious coming from him. His mixes are 10 secs long. There’s no journey being taken. It’s tech house. The dancing is the best part. He’s acting like he’s playing trance or something lol

[@falizeclublounge5557]

Hope I follow your way😅

[@andreleblack4165]

Can you give me a advacie bro ? I have 30 all my life I wanted to be a DJ but for something's in my life that's no happen but I still want to be a DJ the question here is ? For me is too late to become in a great DJ ?
