0:00 Designed, built, made it

You made it? Yeah. Designed, built, made it. With the help of my staff. Must mention the staff. That is what can be described as very beautiful. Thank you. I can see, because I've got a black one on the DJ tutor stand. This is white. I can see this working for what I would class as the high-end mobile DJ who predominantly does weddings. I'm not meaning to sort of pigeonhole here, but... Yeah, the people that want to lay out the investment to get the money back for the high end. I think there's a lot of people that are starting out and undercutting a lot of DJs, and I think DJs realise now they've got to invest in a real big show in order to get the high-end venues to reap the rewards of that. So that's who we're looking at here. We would sell it to anyone, but I think the big guys will be the ones that would have a look at this.

Yeah, and also, I always look at it like this. If you can afford to buy Pioneer, then the last thing you do then is buy a shit sound system. But if you can afford to buy Pioneer and a good sound system, there's no point having your kit on a table. Also, you can have a real nice cheap little mini setup or some cheap decks, and as long as it's hidden behind something that looks fancy, no one needs to know. That's true isn't it? It is, yeah, very true. You could have a little Newmark Mixtrack Pro 2, still do a wedding, but if your facade looks good, you look pro. Most people don't care what you've got behind there most of the time. As long as you're not staring into a laptop most of the time, I think guests are pretty prepared to let you get on with it. How long does something like that take you to make?

The frame, the internal bit takes about four hours to weld up. It's all aluminium welded so there's a lot of jigging involved. It probably takes us about eight hours and all in start to finish and then the powder coat does its thing. So it's a lot of labour involved. We've got a spare piece I can show you out here.

2:38 Paul, we'll have another little discussion and a chat later on, but it

That's the easy bit, the bit that takes the time to put together is the main aluminium frame but again you can do that in about five minutes. But five minutes well spent because you're getting something that looks very pro and also again because only you make them people are buying not a unique item they're buying something that not many people will have yeah it's not we're not looking at producing thousands at a time We really stick about the market. As the orders come in, we knock the stock up. That's great. Alright, Paul, we'll have another little discussion and a chat later on, but it's been a pleasure. Thank you. Later on in this video, we'll go through some more of the products and maybe talk a little bit more in detail about this rather nice stand. Sure. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.

Here at Beatman 2015. Now guys, stick around. We've got the ultimate prize draw coming up very shortly for you. As I have been mentioning through the day, if you haven't yet done it, there's still a quick chance to get your name scanned in, I think, for the prize draw. We've got a couple of seconds left if you need to do that. But basically we're going to bring it up on the screen. All the names have been entered. We're going to filter it down and going to pick one lucky winner at random. So, coming straight up after that, we are going to be locked in with Marshall Jefferson as well. I can't wait for that DJ set from the big man himself. So do stick around, we'll be doing the prize draw very shortly. Christmas, I think it was 2010, and this guy on YouTube making live video tutorials and what. I can't remember who he is actually, or if it's been you, I don't know. And he made a video, you know, 7 Mixer 400, for the person to get them. It made me Christmas as well.

9:43 Several Christmases, but you can't really go out there with vinyls day

Several Christmases, but you can't really go out there with vinyls days, can you? This guy. I do my, I'm a bit of a nudger, but I do me best. Absolute legend. What's the best saying in the world? Oh, you know that. We'll do as well. If you go into the description of this video, you'll see a hyperlink that will take you to the Showbay DJ website where, of course, you can get more information on these likes and all of the others. So, an item like this for your sort of high-end DJing, big parties... And a big prize, regular mobile DJs and they've got the modern day technology. Time and time again, they email me to message me, Jonathan I've got a budget of £100 for a light show and literally it's an entire light show for £100 and what I'm liking here is even if you're not a DJ, even if you don't even like music, you know Aunty Megan and Uncle Stan can have that in their kitchen, in their living room just to get a nice amount of effect so when they turn on their radio and listen to

25:49 The four-plate, I seriously, the four-plate because it's mountable on

Classic FM. They've got music. I'm just visualising, you know, as a mobile DJ, I'm visualising turning up to my gig, set the PA up and then no light. And then I come in with a small suitcase. And then, you know, the client says, where's your light show? It's in my suitcase. And they're like, you open it up, you pull these out, a bit of smoke, a light show, this is fun. Bad music, sound to life, yeah? Boom. Fantastic. So, hazard a guess. So look at all of these. I was, you know, I don't know the retail but I'm trying to, from my experience, let's say you have changed 500. Right, that's pretty good. That's what I like. What I have to say about Showbiz DJ, even though there are many high-end lights, they've got their pro side, they've got their mobile side, the one light I still love and I kept every time someone says, what light should I buy? I recommend...

The four-plate, I seriously, the four-plate because it's mountable on a tripod. You don't even have to have a T-bar because you have your tripod, you have your speaker on the top, put the four-plate underneath and what I love about it is you point it in different directions so really from a cheap point of view, if you haven't got much money, you can go out, you can get two four-plays, you can have one either side and also you can point them in different directions so you can have two of them on the dance floor One at you, one on the ceiling, one on the walls. A bit of smoke and you've got a complete light show. The only time I will ever not like the foreplay is if they ever bring out a Mark II that's brighter. You never know what would be happening. I know, you never know. And I mean, the foreplay I've got, Elster foreplay clear, it's battered, it's bruised, it's paint coming off it, it's cracked and whatnot.

27:23 Tony, it's been a pleasure

That's my fault, but it still works and it still does the job. Tony, it's been a pleasure. Thank you very much indeed. As ever, what I will do, as I said, I'll put a link in the description of this video along with others that will take you directly to the Showbay DJ website. Practice and enjoy. Ladies and gentlemen, DJ Stan, a very good friend of mine Paul. And you are quite an intelligent and clever man because you make these don't you? Yeah we make them all in-house at our own manufacturing unit in the South East. And yeah we're set up to make all this in-house. In-house, in the UK. So these are made, built by you in the UK. Absolutely. Right on the TV screen I believe we've got the set up. Some ugly guy yeah. Okay some strange bloke, he looks a bit like your brother.

And this is the setup of the framework, the internal part of the stand itself. Now you were telling me that a rough time of setup was about five minutes. Yeah, this shot this morning and the total time to set it up was literally two seconds over five minutes. I couldn't quite get the five minute marker but yeah, I was quite happy with that. It's only the second time I've set in this particular So, we've got a unit stand made in the UK by your company that is what I can describe as very beautiful. It is. Now, alright, I'm going to move the camera away from there now because we've got a good idea of how it's set up. And here is the stand itself set up. So, I've noticed you've got some LEDs down there.

We've got two Chauvet color rails sat under there, which I'll put those in. I love the chase patterns that they give you on that. So yeah, they work really well. And then that's a look from the back. If we look at the front, now that to me, it looks exceedingly professional and I can see that working really well in a wedding sort of environment. Yeah, sure, yeah. It looks very pleasing to the eye. There are some stands out there that are very rugged, Look, we wanted to get away from the angular way things seem to be. They're very square edges and angular points. Tends to be product radius, all of these edges. Obviously you've got diameters here, so rather than a bank screen. And also, why we've suspended the front...

32:25 Yeah, we've got a lot of stands for the home DJ studios or set-ups

The DJ Tutor offers a wide range of features and features that you can choose from. The DJ Tutor offers a wide range For the front facade, the frame, the two shelves, the whole deal. And the best way to get in touch with me on djstands.com is to check out the link in the description. I'll put a direct link not to this stand, I'll put a direct link to the website because of course you've got so many more products on there haven't you? Yeah, we've got a lot of stands for the home DJ studios or set-ups. Fantastic. So over here we've got Matrix EX, and then the one I do like, I've always liked because it's a bit of a space saver, is the wing stand. If you're like me, you've got very, very little space. Laptop. Yeah, or an RMX. A lot of guys have 2000s and an RMX or MIDI controller. And then mixer down there. What we've done with this one, on the very original ones, we had quite short space here. We put these extra bars in specifically for this bad boy that

I will also give you information about We'll put an email as well, I reckon. And any questions? The beauty about Paul and DJ Stans is you're dealing with a real person, not with a big corporate company where you probably get passed from pillow to post. So people will, if they need to, they can speak to you, can't they? Yeah, it'll probably be me that picks up the phone, to be honest. Alright, Paul, been a pleasure. Thank you very much. Practice and enjoy.

36:09 With a very good friend of mine, Dennis

With a very good friend of mine, Dennis. We go back a long time. We're on the third day. We're very tired. Do excuse lack of voices, but how has the show been for you, sir? Hello, Jonathan. Good to see you. No, it's been great. It's been a great mix of customers from the BPM section and the Pro section. So we've had mobile DJs to retailers to event companies Installation companies etc. come to see us and tour through some of our latest products and having a good look at our great show, which is undisputedly the best show in Europe for DJs. Now we were just discussing prior to me going record that rather nice laser over there. Come on, tell me about it. What does it do? What are we looking at? So we're looking at the new series called the Pro line series. We've got a Pro 800 and a Pro 1600. It's a new little unit.

It's actually, the house is going to be a little bit smaller than the one that's shown here. They come out this week, middle of September. The units basically have been designed so it's easy for a mobile DJ to be able to test images or design their own images whether they've been writing some text for Christmas, for birthdays. So it's ill to then, yeah? It's ill to control but what it's got is an SD card and a digital display on the back and that enables you to be able to not have Buy the whole software package. You can download the Pangolin QuickShow for free or the Phoenix software for free without the dongle box. Save your programs or your graphics and your sequence or whatever you want to show. That could be writing happy birthday to a particular person or wedding messages. Save it to the SD card, stick in the back of the unit, select from the digital display

Or from the IR remote that comes with it, or through DMX. What you want to select. And it's fantastic because you can turn it down, even if it's up on your rig, you can turn it into being a beam laser, a diffraction laser, a 3D laser, or... It's all in one. It's all in one. RGB, red, green and blue, 1.3 watts. So we are class 4? Class 4 laser, anything over 500 milliwatts is class 4. It's actually, the model I'm showing here is not a brand new model, it'll be a Pro 800. What do they retail at Dennis? Roughly, because the Pro 800 is £595 and the Pro 1600 is £795. Fantastic. So seeing as though you don't have to buy an external software package as well, it's a great value for a mobile DJ or anybody that wants to customise a vendor. So definitely do check it out. The new video is going to be going online this week.

So you can actually have a look at the whole video, the whole product in action. And those retailers will line them up so you'll probably be able to see it at your local retailer. Dennis, you are a star. Practice. No problem. Sorry about the voice. It's nearly going. And practice. And enjoy. Ladies and gentlemen, the famous Jonathan Lewis. How you doing, mate? You need to cut me out. How's it been for you? It's been really good. I wasn't expecting anywhere near the popularity. But everybody came and said hello, and how well we're doing, and thanks for supplying basically PLI at £29.99. Exactly. People are chuffed to bits with it. It's a wonderful show. What I will say as well is if you are a mobile DJ, if you are a DJ, you don't have to because you don't have to, but in this day and age, it's a must to have PL, public liability, because if a client falls over something, it's not likely that they'll sue you, but if they did...

40:24 For the sake of £29.99, speak to this man, alright?

Then, and you're a homeowner, you'd be living in a caravan. So, get it. And from the point of view of, let's say, you play in a lot of hotels, one day you may turn up to a hotel and you've got the best gear, the client's given you a deposit, you turn up to the hotel, the management say we'd like to see your PL and you haven't got it, you cannot play in that event. You can't do it. And then a client could sue you and you will have a very, very unhappy bride. Because of social media, it's highly likely they will promote the fact that you are shit and you'll probably never work again. So for the sake of £29.99, speak to this man, alright? Apart from a businessman, he's actually a really good bloke, alright? If you were wearing what you were wearing yesterday, I'd give you a kiss. Alright. Thank you, fella. Alright, ladies and gentlemen, I am with...

Alright fella, how you doing? How's it going? It's mad I know this bloke. I was talking to him earlier, I recognised his voice and I thought, I know this bloke, this is DJ Tutor. Right, I believe you've got a new exciting mixer that you're going to demo for us, is that right? Yes, the latest one from Pioneer. They've sort of made it, they've gone old school with it to try and get an old school feel. It is a really nice mixer, it's got so many effects on it. Can you give me a demo of this mixer? Yeah, yeah, can I have a look at it?

44:41 Here it is, so this is the latest mixer

Here it is, so this is the latest mixer. What it's got is a brand new out on the market, they've put this crossfader in there. A lot of mixers don't have them but a turntablist sort of said that they want crossfaders and Pioneer have brought out this crossfader on there, so that's a good effect. And it's also got, they've done away with the mid as well, so you've just got bass and treble. Has it got any effects? Yeah, yeah, it's got effects. Do you wanna hear effects? If you turn the treble down, that's a good little effect it's got. My phone's got effects, do you want to hear it? Is it analogue or digital, or washing machine? It's a washing machine, yeah. Spin dry, tumble dry, and what sort of patterns are you putting in? It's a spin dry effect, yeah. The light sometimes comes on, you have to tap it in. Sometimes you have to get about 128 BPM, the light will come back on on the mixer.

What happens if I turn the off button on? In my local town, then it just went crazy. Now I'm currently running in at 180 million views online and UK events got me down here today to go around because they thought I was more sexy than promo ladies, you know what I mean? And that's it really, you know? I started in supermarkets, now I'm in bars and clubs going round doing this and today I'm at BPM and I've met Jonathan. I've watched him in life for ages. Jonathan's taught me DJ tips on YouTube, UK events, I've generally watched his stuff and learned bits of it over the years. Big up to Jonathan, DJ Tutor. Pinch off, practice and enjoy. That's it! Practice and enjoy! So that's it guys, it's pretty much the end of the show. I'd like to thank Mr Cantor, the grieving DJ over there. We have Ian, Shooter and Sean who are sorting the banner. We've got Mr Mark Winter here. Say hello Mark!

And also I'd like to thank the people who've helped me to get here, which is of course DJ Stans. Go and check them out. We've got Chauvet DJ, we've got QSC, we have got over this side, sorry, beg your pardon, over this side, in the middle, we have got the one and only V-Moda. Now, if you have got V-Moda or you're interested in getting them, you've got to check out the 3D Shields, which are absolutely fantastic. They come in all different kinds of materials up to platinum. Used with the M100, the LP or of course the SX. There'll be more to come, not on this video actually but you know me, there'll always be more videos from me but that's it. The BPM show NEC 2015 is over. That voice in the background was Mr Mark Walsh saying, photobomb, end of. So I will leave and finish with practice and enjoy and we've got to pack up now. Let's go home and sleep. Bye bye. Practice and enjoy.
