I don't know if it's very smart to list everything that's on your DJ bag... for those of you who list your DJ dates, etc. It only takes one stalker who will steal your shit.

Just sayin....

This saturday, when I plugged in the power socket for my mac, the main fuse at the club blew. Everything went silent and dark at about 10 pm. When we got the power back on, turns out the mac power supply cord was dead. Had to get in a taxi and fetch the other one I keep at home. Glad I have another mac at home. Id probably have to switch to vinyl for the night if I didnt.

That's what dodgy club electrics does for you....

Thats why i carry two power cords!

Mac book pro
power adapter
Korg nano pad for Keuit
cooling pad
6 CV's 2 black 2 blue and 2 clear
extra mouse

Yeah, think, I'm gonna buy 2 new ones, just in case...

I got a spare bootleg power cord for €30. Original ones cost about €90 which is crazy to me.

Mojo, check you PM...

I did, there is nothing :-)

oops, my bad, its there now...

I just found a bag of salted and roasted peanuts from soutwesth airlines in my bag from 7 months ago LOL

I used to carry a lot of shrink wrap from records bunched up in the bottom of my bag, forgot about that...

Not to put off Topic, Can we add, what type of Bag too?
I am, planning on getting another Bag. I have a Book Bag Style Laptop Bag from Wal-Mart
It's an East Sport, With an Air Pack, So Far I like it but I want to Check out my options
www.walmart.com
This is a Newer one then What I bought, It's $14.98 at Wal-Mart.
Looks nicer then what I got. hmmmm

Well Hope to see some more photos, of What Type of Bags

besides all the usual, I always have a roll of gaffa tape with me

I carry Goldbond.

*Wondering what Dj Enferno got in his bag*

I got the Odyssey DJ bag

Carry two, that's what I do, but I been looking at UPS like this (www.samash.com) lately, to avoid simple problems like that!

I will carry two, beginning at my next gig tomorrow. But bringing an "unbreakable power supply" for a club gig, man I feel thats a bit of an overkill? I mean those computers of ours do after all come with a battery..

Err... Uninterruptible , not unbreakable.

Anyway, still overkill?

I used to carry a UPS just to prevent losing power to my external HD. It was a major pain in the ass, so I got a bus powered drive.

Just plugging into a surge protector should prevent the problem above. Power sockets in the booth are tempting, but a power strip with surge protection will give one extra step of protection. I carry a mini 3 outlet one in my DJ bag if there is nothing else.

Mini 3 outlet with surge protection? Which one DC?

Great tip Dub, thanks.
I normally only carry a power strip when bringing my own mixer/and or decks,
that's about to change...

And yes I only use bus powered drives, for the same reason..

I couldn't find the exact model I have on the net, but here is a pick of it. I got it at Fred Meyer in Oregon for $10.

twitpic.com

Funny, I'm in Oregon and I usually have something from Humboldt in my bag.

Nope but I have a very good friend that does quite regularly...

15 inch Macbook Pro + Power
SL3
Sennheiser HD25 Headphones
Stanton Uberstand
Burned Timecode CD's
Premixed CD's in case shit hits the fan
Couple of Spare Cables

condoms and gum. FTR

if ever im in a rush, espescially pre-gig, i just make sure i have "the 6 essentials" packed:
1 - lappy
2 - power
3 - headphones
4 - sl3
5 - lappy stand
6 - timecode

those are the very basiscs which no DJ should be without (unless your a vinyl DJ of course)

ALSO what irritates me most is if I rock up to a club, and THERES NO FREAKIN FREE POWER SOCKET

In this emergency situation, these are the steps I take:

1- Find the CDJ that is not playing
2 - unplug that CDJ from the socket
3- put in a double power adaptor in it's place
4 - plug the CDJ Power and Laptop Power into the power adaptor

now I always carry a power adaptor with me, I learnt this the hard way when my laptop ran out of battery

the other night, I had the same problem, and so I pulled out the spare CDJ power and SPARKS flew out, I was like WOAH I hope I don't blow a fuse, then when I plugged in the adaptor, sparks flew again - lucky no music cut out

NOW considering this:

Is there a right way or wrong way to handle this situation?

Is there a particular type of adapter that the pro DJ should have on him?

I'm keen to know

1. MacBook
2. SL1
3. 4 timecode vinyls
4. 6/7 normal vinyls
5. Timecode CD's
6. NI Audio4 (for backup)
7. Headphone
8. many cables/plugs/adaptors
9. Mic
10. Flip camera

Packed inside a Headliner backpack in order from back to from - top to bottom by compartment

*Macbook + Adapter
*CVs, some regular vinyl, slipmats,
*business cards, gum, some adapters, mini screw driver, mic
*In ear monitors, wireless bodypack, dicers, usb/audio cables, external hd
*wireless transmitter
*4 cartridges
*back up cables, quiksort (finger moistener), batteries, small box of assorted connectors
*crane stand
*notebook, reading material

ofcourse separate case for mixer and planning as separate case for my wireless monitor pack so a serato box can live back inside the backpack.

what is a wireless bodypack?

Wireless bodypack is a reciever for wireless headphones (or a transmitter of wireless mic). He's got in ear monitors, so he probably prefers to be completely detached from the mixer.
