I'll be out in vegas 8-12 for the Mobile Beat Convention. be waking up in about 4 hours to catch early flight....going to be a rough one

Check out Andrew B when you are out there. I think he does video on Thursday at V-bar inside the Venetian. He is definitely one of the Top VJs out there.

Cool thanks. Will do.

I am the resident Video DJ at Eye Candy in Mandalay Bay Friday & Saturday nights.

Rum Jungle has actually been a thorn in Eye Candy's side there at the hotel. They are generally bringing in an element of crowd that isn't exactly the most friendly. Pretty ghetto actually. No cover and no dress code. There was an issue last weekend where they charged a cover charge and enforced a dress code and their regulars flooded Eye Candy and a couple of major fights happened which lead to the General Manager being injured and us closing early that night. It was a mess and I forced to "change" my music format... ugh... lots have changed for the better since then.

I hope that their local reputation doesn't effect your booking. I usually play til around 4am so if you are out early you could swing by. It isn't far from where Eye Candy is.

last weekend meaning Friday Night-January 29th to be exact.

I don't think the crowd will be a problem (Its not your average American crowd, most of the crowd is going to be International i.e. from the 16 countries particiting in the in Rugby event). I've Dj'ed events like this before when the IRB 7's was in L.A and San Diego so i know crowd is not the issue. I will definately try and swing thru Eye Candy, probably on Saturday.

it says alot when the club community looks towards a bunch of drunk rugby players over the local wanna-be-gangstas.

hahahhahahahahahahaha

now I am real curious how that night is going to go... It is like they won't have a "home" to go if it is a rugby type of crowd... should be interesting.

On your flyer it even says "Dress to Impress"... they never say who to impress... These hood rats may dress to impress each other.

1st homie - "Like my pants on the ground?"

2nd homie - "Oh yeah! I am impressed!"

lol @ Phat-AL.

looking like a fool with........ 10 Rugby guys kicking your ass!

Nice. I'm MCing an event at Privy 2nite from 7pm thru 9pm. I will definately try and pass thru. Speaking of which gotta get ready to hit to the airport

wow, seems like all the video editors got vegas locked huh? kool! so how's eye candy on sundays? who's the dj? i really want to go to a nice club the sunday after this one, thanks in advance for the advise!!

Jon Cha a.k.a Dj Milk is a dope as DJ. And he is ill on the video tip! I can confirm that!!

Oh yeah, and I would be on a look out for Dj Crime (beside Dj Jon Cha) if we talking about dope video DJ's from LV.

but most of cha's edits are worth my loot....
thanks for the work man..
its that johnny guy who has got no clue in hell what a train sound like when it stays on the tracks....

Hey wuz up men am the Resident Dj & Vj Too at The Mayan. and i just started doing video now ,its preatty cool any ideas to look foward about the video sl?

So you must know Saturn.

and DJ Cutt...wow


And you know fellas/ladies, I hate to name drop, but my emails to 8th/videostoolz must not be read...because ive sent at least 3 about the issues...you know kinda like hey, i noticed a few of your remixers doing this this and this, and this is why its turning out like this...blah blah

sigh

but yea johns ish seems to be on point. at least one of the cats knows what hes doin.

Dj'ed @ Living Room last nite inside Planet Hollywood. Doing Mandalay Bay 2nite. Phat-AL, imma come thru tomorrow nite to Eye Candy for a bit. Cheers

no i dont know who is saturn...

You’re saying you dj at the Mayan in L.A right? Saturn is one of the resident video Dj's there. I know he's there every Friday spinning videos and Saturday's downstairs spinning audio only.

no. lol here in las vegas. theres another mayan club...

Man, you guys are in hog heaven here in Vegas, what variety, and omg the ladies...wow.
Got a taste of the clubs while here for MBLV, studied it all.
That light show at Blush is pretty wild.
Amazing how well indirect lighting can work.

Good to meet you Phat Al, and thanks for the demo reel.
That hacking around last track is hilarious.

Just wish I had stayed here when I used to live here.
It's changed so much.

millz, you're too kind. haha. i can say i'm not much of a video editor cause i'd rather focus on my dj/vj skillz, but that's just me though. some have one or the other and some have both. but i actually suck at djing and video editing. haha.

Watched john Cha play Thursday night while down in vegas, he played some smash vidz and promo only, but of course hes gonna play his stuff as well. Hung out with Phat Al and his boy Todd1 some cool cats.
John Cha good job on the sets, only thing I didnt like was all the video effects expecially the blur and the one that looks like your Televesion is'nt getting adjusted right (make the people drinking thinking they are real drunk).
MP3Jrick-saw you at the conference as well, they should move Atlantic City Expo to Vegas, Vegas is definately better than Atl City.

I luv this city....

AC has more foot traffic though, both are needed to reach the masses.
Having a west coast and east coast show serves more dj's imo.
Vendor presence was down some as was foot traffic.
To have a good show takes both, it's kind of a catch 22.
Vendors won't come if dj's don't come and dj's won't come if vendors don't come.
Saw B52 and ADJ load out MOST of what they brought in.

I think the focus needs to switch towards club and video dj's a bit.
A high level mixing seminar or a video editing seminar like aswift does would be great and attract more dj's.

Going bigger in AC this year.
I would love to see a dj party that knew how to set up sound someday...

That new Rane 68 mixer is pretty wild stuff, got talking with Mike in their booth, and good quality costs bucks no doubt. We talked about the quality of support as well, and that is a huge factor to consider.
Ripping out all of those 800's is going to be quite an undertaking.

Anyway, back to the regularly scheduled thread topic.

Don't forget about me! haha :) I VDJ at Blondies in Planet Hollywood Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays

Fuck...I should have listened to my moms...

I have a condo in vegas, which she lives at...and she's always trying to get me
out there to chill for a few weeks.


so, if some short lil Italian 60+ yr old comes in the booth saying "my son rips the Ill video" hold your throat-punch for a few seconds...ask her if she's a Bonaparte.
if not... commence with the throat punch.

Haha word, we have Crime out once a month at my Friday residency in Seattle. He's back here again March 5 if any of you are Seattle heads and want to check us both out. ;)

Im back in Chi City. Vegas was dope just recovering. I Dj'ed Thursday @ Living Room inside Planet Hollywood and Friday @ Rum Jungle.

Phat -Al, i stopped by Eye Candy for minute on Saturday Nite. Dope dope spot dude. I was there for maybe 15 minutes max. I could not make it to the booth it was kinda roped off plus you were busy. Those two projection screens on either side of the lounge are MASSIVE. BTW its called Eye Candy for a reason lol.

Next time i come out will be when i'm not Djing so i can at least get to chill and relax.

Might have to come check you out on Thursday Sousay. Where's blondie's located at in planet hollywood?

there other video dj's in L.A. I only know of like 2 for real.

Niro - it is inside of miracle mile right across from V Theater!

NIRO - it was nice meeting you yesterday. Hope you killed it at Krave! Thanks for the slipmats again!

i went to mayan in L.A. on friday, and one of the 2 MBP said dj pepper, (not sure if that was the dj) but he killed it on friday!!! plus the club is a monster IMO, i like the 2 circle screens on the side, the dj downstairs was ok,but the one in the spanish room was a totally piece of shit!! lol i never use this expression but OMG!! lol one song of a different genre,switching from 90 bpm's to 125 bpms like fuck it!! lol, and not one beat matched!!! wow, he must be real good friends with the owner or something!!

lol

wow dats crazy. i never been to the mayan in l.a but i seen pictures and it looks kool. i dj every friday and saturday and the mayan club las vegas. i hate when that happens when the club is very nice and to have a really suckie. dj. o well dats life some times. the suckies djs have the best clubs. and the good djs, allways end up spinning in the bars or private parties.. i i agree with you JBNYC
