DJ TUTOR future plans

0:00 He's holding it backwards

Hello? Yeah, okay. Hey guys, what's happening? As you can see, Jonathan is on the DJ Tutor hotline. He's holding it backwards. Am I? Yes, you are. This is your piece. Hello? No wonder I couldn't hear them. Jonathan, you're special. You know that, right? Jonathan's special. There's Olympics at YouTube. He's a special man. I'm the sort of person that would... We'd burn their ears if the phone went and I was doing the ironing, but I don't like doing the ironing. But here's what we want to talk about in this video. Let me get my cigarette here. There are some future plans coming up here that we haven't talked about. There are some events coming up that we haven't talked about. Jonathan, do you want to tell them what you've got cooking? Yeah, well, I'm going to Germany in... Oh, sorry. I'm going to go to Germany in March.

And there's a show over there. So if you're going to be in and around Germany in March 2008, so we've got dates sorted, then come and see me. It's in the show in Frankfurt, so by all means come along, say hello, bring your video camera, that's the most important thing. Don't turn up like a turnip and just watch and look at things. Bring your video camera, upload all the films, put them as responses so everyone can see more than just one angle of the actual show. So I'm going to be there through, I think, the weekend. Watch to the side of this video at some point, and I think it's that way. We'll get the details to you. And I'll get the details. Music... Fest or is it? Music Mass or something like that. Mass, possibly. Music Mass? It's German, I don't know what it's called.

But you probably know, and you'll probably say, guys, it's called this, duh. Well, it could be. This is all new to us. But at any rate, that's where you'll be. That's where I'll be. Sometime in March. Yeah, and then this guy, in a week, he's going to... Las Vegas for the Mobile Beat Show at the Riviera. Can I just take this opportunity to give you some money? Now, there is two, what are these? They're quarters, aren't they? Right, quarters. Don't spend them all at once, okay? Now you're going there for like a week. I want to see some change. Well, you know, you could very well do quarter slots and I could come home with a lot more than that. How come I didn't break that? It just snapped. Yeah, right. I did! Whatever. He just killed my cool rapper sunglasses from New York. A bastard. No he didn't. I broke them about two weeks ago. I'm saving him because I'm trying to find the other piece as he goes through my things.

3:11 Sorry, we've got two cameras here

But no, I'll be at Mobile Beat starting on the 11th. I'll be there for the opening show and I'll be there through the 14th. I've got to take a red eye home on the 14th because on the 15th and 16th I gig. So those are the things that are coming up. I'll have the camera with me. I'll have the DJ Tutor hotline with me if there's any minutes left on it. I'll have it with me if you want to call me and hang out with me. We'll post that number again and you can do that. We can hang and have some food or just rap. Sorry, we've got two cameras here. That one's there and the other one's down there. So we've got to look there and we've got to look over there. So we can't really look in the middle because we won't be looking at anything then. Yeah. Alright, another thing. Practice and enjoy 2008. How did it go? Well, for a first event I would like to now... Brian, shake your hand. Thank you very much indeed. You did it. That's good. Bloody good, mate. Bloody good. This guy is a star, okay?

Maybe I started something really weird a while ago to get a load of people involved and share information and what little knowledge I have, I've tried to share that out. Now this guy then hooked up with me and he started doing exactly the same thing. Now listen you guys, hold on, listen you guys, hold on. Stop just watching us and think oh we must watch these guys because they've got loads of information. I want you to look in the mirror at yourself. And I want you to think, do I have any information? Have I got any talent I can share? Because guess what? You probably have. Look at my camera every once in a while. I'm looking, I'm in the middle. So start sharing the knowledge that you have. Even if it's a tiny little video on a tiny subject that only you know. Because guess what? I guarantee you there'll be someone around the world who doesn't know what that bit of information is. And by you sharing it, they'll find out.

5:07 Yeah exactly, because I waffled you

That's what we're doing. That is basically just what we're doing. Brian has said it and I've said it a thousand times and I'll say it a thousand and one more time. And that is that I am not the best DJ in the world. I am far from the best DJ in the world. He's actually pretty good. But, shut up. But the beauty about it is that I've had that tiny little bit of knowledge and I've shared it. And we've got this huge community growing out of nothing. That's what I've done. Now what can you do? Help. Share, communicate and... what did you want to say? Oh right, I don't remember. Yeah exactly, because I waffled you. It's okay, it's okay. We all have our strong points, we all have our weak points. And I tell you what, some of my weak points I felt during practice and enjoy, not only Jonathan but everyone who attended got much stronger. I learned a lot. But, you know, hey, that's what it's all about. It's about sharing. I've always been a mobile guy and here I am, you know...

I've learned so much about turntables and mixing and house music this week than I think I learned collectively within the last year of doing this whole YouTube thing. Just by watching and listening, and I guess that's what it's really about. Taking it in as you can, and right now, you know what? That's all I'm thinking about. I'm thinking about getting on the decks, getting on the 400s, getting on the techniques, and doing some things I'd never even... 500 years. 500. The DJ Tutor has been working with me for a long time and I've had the pleasure of working with him. He is a bossy motherfucker. He is too. I'll start shooting a video, I'll start filming someone and I've almost got him where I want him and he'll look at me and say, Brian, leave him alone, turn the camera off. It's the American in me, I can't help it. I'm okay for an American, but please.

7:46 You want to come and live in England because it's a lot more expensive

Understand, I'm still very American. I don't do American shit every once in a while. We went to a store once and there was a lady at the till, she's ticking away, and he's there on the phone. What did she say? She said, can you get off the phone or something? And you said, I'm on the phone. No, she was being rude. I was talking to someone on the phone. I can't remember who it was. Aren't you interrupted? Excuse me, excuse me. And I'm like looking. I'm multitasking, which I'm capable of doing occasionally. I'm looking to see what I need, you know, from the back of the counter, cigarettes, what's on sale, what's, you know, because our taxes just went up. So I'm looking, I'm paying attention and she says, excuse me, excuse me, and so I said, okay, hold on one second. I'm sorry, I have to go, the lady at the register is yelling at me right now.

And he's complaining about taxes. You want to come and live in England because it's a lot more expensive. Yeah, but you get something for your taxes. You have like health insurance. I suppose so. I get fuck all for mine. We're not going to go into politics here at all. No, we're not. Alright, here's the other deal as well. Alright, the 10 minute mix competition. It's growing so big and it's doing so well. Now again, maybe you're doing this anyway or maybe it's dirt I've got to explain to you. But watch the 10 minute mix videos. Comment accordingly. Tiny little tips from those particular mixes. You could see a DJ twiddling with these bass, mid and treble or something like that, and all of a sudden you may think, that's a good idea, I'm going to try that. So look at those as well. Look at the other DJ tutorials. If you know some DJs in your area, tell them about DJTutor.com. Tell them about YouTube. Tell them to get involved.

Because this is one of the most important things, this is still underground. Now theoretically it always will be underground, but wouldn't it be nice to get it that little bit more known so everyone knows about it because then it's a bigger community, more people get involved, more people get involved and you know we're all going to benefit from it. It's all a bit like Penn & Teller sometimes isn't it? Probably yeah actually. Is that your reference? That's very obscure. I'll have to look that up in Wikipedia. Well, I tell you what. Next year, when we're both in Vegas together, I'll take you to go see Penn & Teller. Fine. You'll love it. Fine. But one question I have before we wrap. What do you think of this? Is this cool? Is this too overproduced for DJTutor.com with the screen and the logo? I thought it was kind of cool, but maybe we're going... This is about as sophisticated as I think we're ever gonna get. Yep.

So enjoy it. Yeah, so if you want posh lighting and camera action and every five seconds someone trying to sell you something with an advert then I suggest you go off, turn off and watch the television. If on the other hand you don't like the television and you prefer to watch punk TV which is what this is then stick around, practice and enjoy.
