Why I Got Removed From @JamesHype Get Closer Tour @Fabric London!

[@D4nielJ4mes]

Who wants me to re-record the first hour 👀😍

[@trekunda]

Life is all about learning, we move. New fan here

[@D4nielJ4mes]

Exactly that! All an experience right! It's not about what happens when you mess up, it's what you do to recover & get past it! Appreciate the support & welcome to the movement! 🫶

[@gabrielrakotonindrina-fv4cd]

I love your mixing style. Keep up my boy. I am with you.

[@D4nielJ4mes]

Big up! Welcome to the movement 💪 big things for 2024 😏

[@LadyArys]

It happens, we all make accidents. I'm proud of you for going up still and it's all a good learning experience. Your still awesome

[@D4nielJ4mes]

Thank you, its a mistake which has somehow worked in my favour & grown the brand & channels in an incredible way! I hope your well 🙏

[@thomasyoung293]

I wouldn’t have directly thought you were playing a JH record hearing that accapella as it’s MEDUZA’s track, and so the accapella is not JH. Especially if it wasn’t from his remix and over the top of another tune! But regardless, was a sick set and you smashed it! Keep it up bro🙌🏼🔥

[@D4nielJ4mes]

Yeah, I agree, which is where the technicality is, I believe all it was was a simple misunderstanding that someone thought I was playing james remix which as I mentioned, I wasn't. I am still forever grateful to Rashun & the team for giving me this opportunity!

[@Dj_Dugi]

Im saying sh..t happens, what you can just learn lesson. And this video is lesson for me 🔥🔥💪 Keep doing what you doing 🔥🔥🔥

[@D4nielJ4mes]

Exactly this bro! What can I say I'm here to help 😂 appreciate it bro! So much planned for 2025! 🙏💪

[@Vagab0nd]

No bad press❤ you just got a new fan. Keep screwing up like that and the internet will be broken from all the love your getting :)

[@D4nielJ4mes]

No press is bad press right 😂 big up, welcome to the movement 🫶

[@connorruston9436]

Killer set man and worthy of a headline set time yourself 🤙

[@D4nielJ4mes]

One day bro! Goal for next year is to really push into the club & festival scene! Just need you guys behind me 🫶🙏

[@DJSOEGAARD]

Wowow.. What a set! that vibe. - upgraded my day! 🚀🤩

[@D4nielJ4mes]

[@victorsanchez-pp1mn]

this has been an unwritten rule for years. its because you never know if the artist is going to use it or not. some djs will say i was just showing respect to the artist and its actually disrespectful to do it. sorry it happened but it sounds like you understand and wont do it again.

[@D4nielJ4mes]

@victorsanchez-pp1mn 100%! Thinking about it after it's something I've always known & abided to as a rule with the other events I've done in the past. I believe that I was just not in my normal state of mind due to being so busy with my other job & putting so much pressure on myself to do well with this opportunity. Still so grateful to the team & all of you for the love & support!

[@D4nielJ4mes]

100%, had I been in the right mindset (had some things going on prior to this personally) it probably wouldn't of happened!

[@leefraser4529]

They cut your set short because you played ONE JH song????? To me that would be a compliment

[@D4nielJ4mes]

So I think it was a simple misunderstanding, I wasn't playing a james track, I was playing the acapella of piece of your heart by Meduza, I think it was a simple mistake from whoever heard me playing it, worked in my favour though as people are clearly talking about it! Huge opportunity which has given me the boost to push on for 2025! 🙏

[@JulesVicDJ]

Sounds like it was a momentary lapse - under a lot of pressure. You’ve said you know not to play headliner tracks when you’re warming up. It’s all experience. And you still totally deserved to be there!

[@D4nielJ4mes]

Exactly that Julie! I was so all over the place the days leading upto it that I just really wasn't in the mindset I should of been for doing something like this but I've been told I still smashed it so can't complain! Thank you so much for the support it's really appreciated. it just goes to show all this work is going towards something! Here's to a big 2025 for both of us! 🫶

[@DJ_RIGGERZ]

Wait I’m confused, did you get taken off for playing the Piece of your heart acapella? I thought it was cause you were playing James Hype songs?

[@thomasyoung293]

Yep this accapella🙌🏼

[@D4nielJ4mes]

Hey there! I believe I was "pulled off" as someone thought I was playing james Remix of the piece of your heart by meduza, but it was the acapella from the original tune 🙏

[@DJ_RIGGERZ]

@@D4nielJ4mes That's terrible, I don't think they where in the right to do that, it's not even a JH song! You should've tried to explain that it was just the original acapella - not the JH remix.

[@D4nielJ4mes]

@DJ_RIGGERZ I had but by that time it was too late, no hate towards them or vice versa! Just one of those things, still super grateful to be on the lineup for something this big! Given me the motivation to push on for next year, some sick things lined up 🙏💪

[@almayification]

Come on just put your full set on LFG🔥🔥🔥

[@D4nielJ4mes]

Will get it recorded ASAP

[@kaizenking22]

Wait so im new to the djing world and would like to try my best to play at some stages in the future if you make a set and are playing on a stage and you like a certain artist songs you cant play it? ....please educate me here is there a dj copyright law or is it how somebody feels about it?

[@D4nielJ4mes]

Hi there! so its un written rule of djing that if you are playing at an event that you shouldn't play any original music or remixs from the headline artist or anything connected to them as its music they will most likely play & the people paying to go to the event will want to see the headlinder play their own music not someone else. I hope that makes sense! any other advice or tips please feel free to ask :)

[@kaizenking22]

@D4nielJ4mes I see just to confirm that's only if you happen to be playing at the same stage as them that day correct?

[@D4nielJ4mes]

@kaizenking22 correct, same event over all, if your not then it's fine

[@kaizenking22]

​@@D4nielJ4mesone last thing for now any free dj schools that you recommend for a total beginner that's just enough to upload a mix on KZbin? And how did you end up playing at events did someone find you on KZbin or something or do you happen to always know people What ever is the advice and route to play at a event once in a while thanks again for the info

[@andrewdickens7016]

I’ve always thought if it’s just one or two it’s going to get people ready for what’s coming. Plus the crowd will still react again because of who is playing it

[@D4nielJ4mes]

Yeah I agree to an extent, I can see it from both sides, at the end of the day if you are going to a james show you want to hear him playing his tracks not someone like me, we learn & move on though! 🙏

[@bikesbeersbeats]

What is it rule #1 from Rules of Power? Oh yes… “Never Outshine the Master” 😂

[@MattWattsie]

You Cant be a warm up dj for james hype then go out and play songs by james hype What will james hype play lol

[@bas4688]

Great that you're a fan, but this is just a no-go. We don't want to have a second James hype; create your own style. If you need anything else translated or have more questions, feel free to ask! 😊

[@DJJAMONE]

An outside opinion from someone into a complete diff genre of music. Sounds like you was outshining… as in they didnt expect you to kill it. Sounds negative but I watched your previous video and you was going hard. Hype literally said it. So they was waiting for that one little thing they could get you on. An acappella wtf 🚩dodgy that mate. Great video regardless 🎉

[@Shutteltje]

Well you broke the rules and explained what happend. Cool so Let's Go... Fine mixing skills. Next time better man. Keep it up.

[@consumerlawninja]

The background music is so distracting and loud

[@anthonymulligan7770]

He didn't do anything wrong, if a dj cant play music on the fly and think on the fly instead of prerecorded sets he has all setup before he gets to the club is quite sad to give this guy stick, whoever is saying he made a mistake is quite wrong. not wearing headphones just also makes this whole debate sad!!

[@jessemanaton1960]

In ear monitors bro

[@andrewverran6998]

Is the " get closer tour " just copying Richie HAWTINS " CLOSER" gigs ?? ie a blatant rip off.?

[@bikesbeersbeats]

Nothing about JH is anywhere close or even related to Richies style. Most JH fans probably have never heard of Richie or Plastikman

[@cabaramusik]

Why the drama :(

[@MarqueeRene]

Great performance! Actually it was also a bit risky by James Hype's team to take some fans playing besides him as many DJs in this group will be extremely inspired by JH and would also play same tracks and same transitions/tricks of course. Would have been a good idea to tell you upfront NOT to play songs JH will usually play in his sets so you can prepare something different. But pretty sure Rashun also learned this and will give more instructions if they would ever do something like that again. But very good idea to use this statement also to increase your channel... It is just a bit late from my point of view. That statement and the rest of the set should have been released on your channel directly after the MovingDiffernently episode. But good luck ... and also record your full set. Would be stupid not to do this. 👍😉

[@D4nielJ4mes]

Hey! Yes I totally agree, recording content has been difficult as of late due to my other job which is in the events world, the set from fabric has been re recorded due to technical issues & I'm hoping it'll be up tomorrow night!

[@aaronfoley8991]

Oh for the love of.. So what if someone plays a track the "headliner" was going to play? You shouldn't get cut off. Im disappointed in James Hype. Theres an unlimited amount music out there who cares if an opening dj plays something you were planning on playing.

[@djpiper490]

ACE🎉

[@DjAgileStyle]

I’ve heard djs play the same track many times even at the same show. As a Dj myself I think it comes down to what u do with the track. I see both sides. Should have been ok as long as you’re not trying to copy another djs mix or style. If anything maybe just ask him not to play the same tracks that night.

[@MRDUKG]

red lining the mixer was more of a problem.... lol dont worry about mr over hyped

[@D4nielJ4mes]

In most cases venues will have a separate sound engineer that will control overall levels so redlining not a huge worry unless in a venue that doesn't have the above or a sound system that can't handle it, appreciate it!

[@MRDUKG]

Whatever makes you feel better about it.. lol it's always good practice to keep out of the red unless one is in Amsterdam sir .. 👊🤪

[@D4nielJ4mes]

@@MRDUKG funny you say that was in dam a couple of months back 🤔😆

[@808MATE8]

It is a bit sad mate. James Hype should of been able to take it on the fly with all his experience. DJ'ng is not like it used to be - unfortunately its more about the performer and their social media following these days. All this prancing behind the decks and the paid for crowd behind the turntables just makes it a circus. Bring back vinyl, 1210's and ban smartphones from the clubs, then we see where the big boys are ;)

[@waynemorgan4066]

Truth be known you are better than james

[@D4nielJ4mes]

Wow, that's such a huge compliment, thank you! James Hype is an absolute legend, and I’m just trying to learn and grow every day. Really appreciate the love and support!

[@tonydiogo6221]

You’re opening for James hype, you can’t be better than James hype when opening for him lol this is sad. What artist wouldn’t want another dj to play his records. James hype was probably high af and got insecure😂

[@trekunda]

The issue is that the headliner will want to play their own songs during their set.

[@tonydiogo6221]

@trekunda yea I know that, but If you closed your eyes and listened to this set and I told you it was James hype playing, you probably wouldn't know the difference

[@D4nielJ4mes]

I mean I'll take that as a compliment 😂🫶🙏

[@kennybiotek]

rookie mistake.. we live and learn! You could be a James Hype tribute copying all his tricks. All you need is the jawline

[@D4nielJ4mes]

Poor prep amoung other things going on at the time! Forever thankful to Rashun, James & the team for the opportunity 🙏

[@kennybiotek]

@@D4nielJ4mes you got fire skillz all the same, take them to the next level to something we've never seen before. Be a scene setter. One love.

[@aidanbainbridge3092]

Let’s go Dan, get the full set recorded and get it up 🔊🔥 Someone say KZbin live stream 👀👀👀😉

[@D4nielJ4mes]

@aidanbainbridge3092 this is a shout you know 👀 got a banging idea for it aswell!

[@D4nielJ4mes]

May or may not be up tomorrow night 👀😏

[@oliverbailey495]

What a horrible egotistical world djing has become. Cant stand it. If your asked to dj at an event. You should be able to play what's in your heart. Otherwise whats point. Just put james hype on all night 😂

[@anthonymulligan7770]

can you not compromise? few tricks up the sleeve for when this happens. he just wanted to give you a nice transition and he gets stick and sent off for playing one song? the song you made in 5 mins on a plane?
