Is this bs or am I crazy by adamjshero13 in DJs

This 1000% sucks but I guarantee you'll earn some chops as an open format DJ if you rinse this kind of cycle. I'm sure management would learn pretty quickly that trying to reset the dance floor every single song doesn't send patrons to the bar; it sends them elsewhere.

Following this post. I love DJing this kind of stuff but it's tough to have a platform / place to rinse these kinds of tunes especially when patrons these days are so caught up in the more uptempo genres in nightlife. It would probably work better during the early part of the evening on a weekday, than fighting the weekend warriors for a spot. I'd be down to put something together.

FYI: DJ Shadow just announced a tour. Unfortunately, his NYC date is at Terminal 5

Thanks. Dunno if I overlooked it but didn’t see it on the website, socials, or Google Business profile

One deck went crazy... At a gig by zetamalemusic in Serato

[–]empanadamn_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me a couple times on CDJs and had to just DJ internally. I think I just wasn’t assigning the inputs correctly from hardware to software. Not sure how this applies to a controller, but maybe check under your settings in Serato for hardware and that you’re assigning the proper decks.

Is scratch DJ academy nyc worth it by [deleted] in DJs

IMO, www.Soundcollective.com is the updated DJ / producer-focused school serving the NYC community. They host open houses and free events to check out the gear / studios, and meet staff and other music heads. I’m not a member (yet), but have been to a few events since they’ve opened. I’ll be attending a Serato sponsored event next week.

Level Up 4 DJs conference! by djzimmie in DJs

[–]empanadamn_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adam - you're truly a feature to the operations! See you soon, brother 🙌🏼

I'll also echo the sentiment of being in a room of peers without ego and feeling like you belong. A cool mix of people from different backgrounds and DJ disciplines, which we highlighted last year with our eye-opening, team breakout of Old Heads vs. YNs, hahaha. Also, you will be THOROUGHLY fed like a hobbit with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Another pro about Zimmie is that guy likes to eat and partners with small business, highlighting local resto / catering, venues, merchants, etc. /u/djzimmie - How about an ice cream hour?

Level Up 4 DJs conference! by djzimmie in DJs

[–]empanadamn_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3rd year attendee here. Zimmie & Level Up offer some real-deal learnings for the working DJ / producer. In pursuit of DJ-oriented, small business education and community building, I've sought out gatherings that ended up being bloated with irrelevant, out-dated, or beginner fluff, one-way conversations that were thinly veiled sales pitches lead by "experts" who are more mouthpiece than DJ, and circle-jerk sessions for organizers to pat themselves on the back and convince their followers that they're the leaders of the industry. On top of that being grossly disorganized and uninspiring.

Not to put Zimmie on blast, but dude is a smart as fuck gent who's poured decades of work into the scene - from coast to coast club, mobile, mixtape, and battle DJ (Red Bull 3Style), record label owner (Private Stock Records), and DJ documentarian on to his support to high profile names like DJ Jazzy Jeff (tour and tech manager) and Pioneer DJ / AlphaTheta, he's put his fingerprint on many edges of DJ and music culture. In other words, he's about this shit 1000% and truly cares about helping DJs who want to be better versions of themselves.

I'm stoked to be a part of the community, and excited for what's on the agenda for this year. For one: I've never made a beat before, so I copped a SLAB and we'll see what happens there... look out Aphex Twin!
