Rooftop parties are dope.

Totally! They're so fun... This one, they had their own private roofdeck with heaters. It was a good time. Sick view of the city too.

lmfao to the dude in the race video that tried to time his jump to the drop.

@DJ Select where did you get that little light that shines over your mixer in the college party video and what was it connected to?

Oh man its so necessary!! I never leave home without it! They sell em at guitar center, but try and amazon and ebay. Make sure its the LED version. The red is dope for low light and the white will save you in a dark room or booth especially with turntables. Great for your video blogs too. More importantly for your setup you'll be able to see the pitch, mixer, records, etc.

www.amazon.com

Yea Marcushhh, you're gonna need some lights....I cant see a dam thing in you're vids.....lol

@Pdidy Right!! The light from my laptop gives my enough to barely see the Bass knobs and everything above that is straight darkness.

Very nice display of the different types of gigs you do....that 18+ party was hype as hell..

Just getting to know the Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera. Image quality has a lot of potential, I messed it up in color correction... Sound is awful, would need external microphone for decent results. Shot with an Olympus prime 17mm (equals about 35mm SLR) Pretty good in low light situations.

Still waiting, guess you was just talk....lol

Lol crazy how I felt like checking Serato today and you posted this, been a min. Anyways, yeah man it's hard, we've done a lot of gigs, but getting video is a little harder than I thought. My company has been short handed so by the time I start deejaying getting video is the last thing on my mind, but I do have some cool pics?

Great thread. Very cool to see all the videos you guys are posting. Let's keep it going.

I've got some gigs coming up and will try to capture some crappy camera phone video to contribute. I just did a set for an outdoor cardio pilates class (yes, you read that right) and thought about taking some vids/pics, since there was a good amount of people and it's a fun event in general, but I didn't want to be a creeper. Haha.

Select and Joshua Carl, do you guys know if any more of those Table Manners events are rolling through Boston anytime soon?

It's a monthly event. I don't know the next date yet.

Will do. Thanks!

how does that work in NYC? Do you need permits to set up these jams or is it fine to just lug your gear there and play?

yes a permit is required, its inexpensive maybe $40 or less.

How much lead time do you need?

I'm mad that y'all can rock out like that in BK.

Correction: $25 to parks department and $45 for sound permit.
www.nycgovparks.org
"All special events permits require a $25.00 nonrefundable administrative processing fee, and permits require at least 30 days for processing.

You will also need a Sound Permit from the New York Police Department (NYPD) if you plan to have amplified sound at your event and/or a permit from our Revenue division if you plan to vend/sell anything in the park.

To get a Sound Permit from NYPD, you must first have your Parks permit, including permission from Parks to use amplified sound. When you have received your Parks permit, take it to your local precinct to receive a Sound Permit. NYPD Sound Permits cost $45.00, and you must apply at least five days in advance of your event."

So, is there any restriction on the decibel level?

If there is one I've never seen it enforce. And ive done alot and play very loud.

So do you turn it up as loud as you possibly can? Just askin....

In past years ive alway pushed the system to max but this year the VRX tops just did not require it. People were dance as close as 2ft from the system, at full volume it would be deafening but the "long throw" top 2 speakers were up to maybe 60% max.

Pool party fun but no real djing :)

I'll do my best to add all kinds of Video asap from now on!

Hey, hard to tell from the pic, but is that just a regular stainless DeLorean? or one of the 3 gold plated ones?

It was the original Back to The Future Car. We did an event called the Voices Of Inspiration, and Michael J. Fox was the Guess Speaker. I wouldn't know enough about the cars to tell you if it was 1 of 3 Gold or not, sry.

I looked closer, it's not gold. There were 3 24 kt gold plated DeLoreans made. That was just a regular one. Cool that you got to see MJF. Did you meet him?

Naw, I could of, but he had this crazy writer that said no video or pics, and I feel it's almost not even worth the time to meet someone without proof, ya know?

Soooo this whole talking on the mic for almost the entire song thing......

At the after party did he only have one CDJ?

Looked crackin tho!

Yea this dj does a lot of hyping on the mic but it's a Brooklyn Hiphop crowd so it's normal and expected.
No, I had 2 CDjs but this dj uses instant double a lot .

man would it have killed the cat to throw in a song like this here
Watchwww.youtube.com

hip hop crowd or not, everyone games to this! kill the monotony a little give them some feel good music

pdiddy another question,do them vrx tops get as loud as the zxa5?

Yes but only down to about 60hz because there not truly designed for bass. The zxa5 will easily beat it in bass 60hz an below. But I have used them full range and they sound great.

yeah thats what i was talking about, i would only use it with a sub

This is Brooklyn so stuff like "before i let go" or "love is the message" is a standard at bbq's. These are just short clips and not a true representation of all the other genre's played.

Interesting. I'm not a hype up the the crowd with the mic type of guy but I've alwasy wondered since I've never seen a DJ do it in person with a crowd. Does it actually work? Like does the crowd actually get "hype" when the DJ talks alot?

And thanks for the clarification on the CDJ thing.

got it

Crowd hyping in this style of djing is a skill you can develop but everybody is NOT good at it so it can also be a bad thing when done improperly. This dj in particular is known for having great mic skills but depending on where you're from it can be debatable.....lol

@ Marcushhh
"Does it actually work? Like does the crowd actually get "hype" when the DJ talks alot?"

Yes it does work, there were 2 point at the after party the music had to be turned off an lights on to bring the crowd down.

I got to see GMF last November, and he talks constantly, he got me and the whole crowd SUPER hype.

its a skill that these west cost dj's cant comprehend....lol

After i did this routine -> Watchwww.youtube.com i got invited to one of the largest radio stations in my country. Unfortunately there's only a short video of the routine i did there, but it was a cool experience.

Nice chris, love the custom djm 707 setup,
have you ever replaced any of the pots on the mixer,
a few on my 909 are starting to give static/noise when moved think its time to replace them

www.mematic.com

I never replaced a pot on the mixer, but to be fair, i only use the set for practicing my scratches and juggles, so i rarely touch my EQ's and gains. I know they are quite easy to replace with some basic soldering knowledge, and cost a few dollars a piece.

Love the telephone!

TERRENCE PARKER STYLE !

Didn't know about him, only knew Dr. Lektroluv used a phone. Nice!

The telephone is what some used in the early days of Hip Hop.

Why is the first video called "mayweather Fight party # 6 cops"?

Is it because they are watching the fight?

Pdidy, I salute you....that is SOOOOOO DOOOOOPE....

yep, they had half the precinct out there watching the fight with us.

Dope. Where was fight being projected on? Was it a powerful projector?

very cool block / fight party vid……it's nice to see 5 O dancing having a good time instead of harassing people for getting together to enjoy the fight



so how was this done, you hooked up someones cable box output to a protector?

80" screen, 2500 lumen projector , cable box to projector.

man you had half of BK happy as hell to see the fight for free? haha…..or did the charge to get on the block?


either way it was a cool fun even, that swarm fx5 did justice outside

2500 lumen? That's it? I guess it worked because it was dark out.

Usually, 5000+ is needed for outdoor.

The video quality was quite good, 2500 lumens is very brite at night. I was watching from across the street 50 ft away with no issue.

thanks

Very nice! Ive done 3000 lumen outdoors before, it was quite nice,
but I was hoping for more effect.. -> Watchvimeo.com

Did this one last week, 20.000 ansi lumen (panasonic) for the main projector on the white screen, 8000 (barco) for the left one directly onto the brown brick wall.
notevarp.com

WOW!! Very cool.

20K? That's how real pimps do it.

lol @ 2500 hahaha

nm

My projector (not the one at event) is a BenQ MX620ST Short-Throw HD 3D Wireless Projector
3000 ANSI lumen. www.benq.us

Im projecting on a 100" screen and the quality is quite good but im no projector expert.....lol
Watchwww.youtube.com

How many projectors do you own ?

Thanks lvmez!

LOL @ Sixx, we actually got the rental pretty much free of charge! As the owner came in from Denmark to premiere the new edit/sound score of the classic Fritz Lang movie "Metropolis" from 1927. Now featuring the music of Brian Eno, Massive Attack, Portishead, Faithless, New Order, Cinema Orchestra & Ganga. -> Watchvimeo.com

Sadly pdidy, I only have one of the cheaper 3000 short throws myself. This one -> www.itechnews.net

As I do the actual graphics and not equipment rental myself, the event makers normally hire in the projectors/LED. The being said though, my office colleague is doing a lot of work with LEDs both screens and bio research (medical marijuana in Canada), so really hoping for owning a nicer setup down the road. Here is my previs of what's about to become the biggest permanent LED Wall in Norway so far :D -> notevarp.com

I own a BenQ 3500 lumen short throw and it's a beast. Looks even brighter because of the short distance.

I like the BenQ brand. I bought the BenQ SX914 (6K lumens) but I don't use it often. I should rent it out but most places I DJ nowadays just have a ton of widescreen flat TV's - and most mobile DJ's in my area are too cheap to rent anything. :P

nm

WarpNote , do you have other video from this event from better angles as is hard to understand whats going on in relation to the crowd and how its setup.

I'll have a look but a doubt it. The projector is setup at 2nd floor, above the crowd, aiming pretty wide and covering quite a large area. So its not used as intended (ie short throw). Its also passing through some plexi, as seen @ 00:26.

Right, here's another view, same setup, different night.
You can see a glance at the crowd @ 00:06

Here's another example of running lower lumens projectors, this one was indoors. We used "shark tooth" 70% opaque projection cloth mounted to wooden frames. 2 projectors, 1 from each side. about 2500 ansi each, if memory serves me right.
-> Watchvimeo.com & Watchvimeo.com

wow that was hot and very artistic.....

I also dont use my projector in the traditional sense of the VIDEO DJ with music videos. I use my porjector for effects on walls, Dance visuals like old soul train clips minus the audio Watchwww.youtube.com, wireless stream slide shows of pics Im taking at the event or live video of the crowd that I wireless stream to my projector from my Iphone 6.

Nice one Pdidy, I own both Serato Video & ME myself, but Im always using Resolume instead. Like you, Im not really into spinning regular music videos. Need to work out how to do an airdisplay connection directly from my phone to my computer (Resolume). Im sure it can be done.

Nice pdidy. - "Who's the soundman?" :D
BTW pdidy, why do you guys bring so many setups, instead of plugging into one main setup?
More impressive presence? Want nobody to touch your decks?

lol,
well technically im the only sound man so i am responsible for any f*ckups but my dj partner was doing a early break down an neglected to turn the board down on the line he disconnected. I could have cut that out but left it in cause shit happens....lol


Because we could.....
The 1200's and CDJ setup were mine but the 2 controllers were my dj friends and everybody wanted to play on their own set.

Bruh, what time do these blocks parties usually go until?

8pm is standard end time in nyc.

Ok, it was lookin' kinda dark in one of those vids.....

By any chance are you related to bitterempire.com

Lol, I carry no crystal balls....

did a live set on the radio, unfortunately on CDJ's :(

Watchwww.youtube.com

What's wrong with mixing on CDJ's?
You are mixing and that's all that it matters.

And nice Head"phone" :) Made one myself back in the late 80s :P

Oh nothing wrong with them, but my scratching is much better on vinyl

Not necessarily...

Some people like to try to preserve the original art form.

Salute.

Nice work, you have to be versatile when it comes to being a working dj. Nothing wrong with using CDJs

Impressive......

1200s on my first love also (just got a second pair) but unless im doing an event were i can really "get it in" my CDJ's will be coming out most times.

Thanks guys! To clarify, nothing is wrong with CDJ's. 9 out of 10 times i play on them on my gigs, just because it is the default club equipment. I never owned CDJ's, but i do have turntables at home, so scratch-wise i'm better on vinyl. it's just my preferred weapon of choice :)

Here's a couple of recent events I've done:

(videos are not mine, not filmed by me)

That's no doubt BADAZZZ, but can we see the unedited, behind the scenes, speaker and dj setups raw & uncut. We are dj's and gear-whores so we dont need the vids to be polished. Stop holding out, I no you got some with the NEW JTR system.

But that beach party is enough to make a HATER physical sick....props !

physically sick

I'll have to dig some other pics up, don't think I have too much video.
Sunset Cruise I - 2 ZXa5 & 1 Yorkville LS800p. They have to lift the sub over the front of the two story boat as it won't fit through the doorways.
Sunset Cruise - 2 JTR Noesis 3TX & the Yorkville. Headliner was Blunts & Blondes, who gave the JTRs a workout with the Trap and hard bass style he plays. They are insanely loud, you do not want to be standing in front of them when they are turned up, serious hearing damage could occur. Super clear, I had them crossed at 90hz. Really needed about 6-7 more subs but the sound was decently balanced for the smallish dance area in front of the DJ booth. JTRs powered by a Crown XTI6002 and ran through a DBX 32 ch. EQ. Both gigs we used my DDJ-SZ.

Island Parties I only provide my SZ and LS800p. Standard setup is usually 2 EV ZLX, 2 QSC HD32, usually another pair of powered speakers and the 2 Yorkville LS800/801 subs. We bing out a 6000 watt generator, hire a licensed captain to transport peeps with no boat or jetski, run 5-6 DJs from 10-7pm. Usually takes another 2 hours to fully police the island before the last of our group leaves. I get home from gig Friday night at 4:30, back up at 7:30, island party all day, dip out at 7:30-8, play Saturday gig from 9:30-3am - a long weekend but a lot of fun. Nothing beats playing on an island!

Still haven't run the JTR subs and tops together yet for a gig. When I do, I'll make sure to get some video and pics.
