Get out of Playing the Same New Music Tat Rubbish Go Web Crate Dig for Some True Classics

0:00 Education is the key and knowledge is power

Right, ladies and gentlemen, education is the key and knowledge is power. Now, I'm going to go probably not so much in more depth regarding the last video I made, but I could get a bit sound as I'm a little bit annoyed during this video. So don't take offense. But anyway, you're basically being screwed left, right and center from practically anything and everything you do. Now I'm going to give you an analogy, a very simple one. And once you understand this analogy, then hopefully you'll get it. Of course, it's completely sort of DJ music related. 110%. So you go into your local supermarket, wherever you are around the world. Well, when I say wherever you are around the world, most places around the world where they fill you full of shit. And you walk along the aisles.

2:00 Probably one, if you're lucky

And you'll see these lovely packages, red, green, blue, orange and purple, really shiny packages full of delicious items that basically are made of shit. Manufactured, processed shit. It's crap. It's rubbish. It doesn't do you any good. It may give you a bit of a fix to begin with, but once you've eaten it, you throw it away and you just wait for the next one. That is precisely, absolutely how most modern day music is made today. Now, you've only got to really go back in time to find out where good tunes come from. But who in their right mind, if you're a DJ, let's be honest, let's take a trip back to the charts from three or four years ago. How many of those tracks will you actually play? Today. Probably one, if you're lucky. I mean, was it Dance Monkey or something like that? But even that now, you play that and it rattles your brain. Was it something monkey? I don't know. But you get where I'm coming from. You see, what's happening is you're being fed not only lies but shit, crap, rubbish. If you go to the supermarket...

And you do a little bit of research and you have a look around the corners, up above, down below, instead of right there in front of you where people pay to have their products. You'll find good quality food, organic, the sort of stuff that will make you feel better as well as doing your body good instead of buying the hydrogenated, fat-filled rubbish. With so much sugar in, you wouldn't believe it. And that's exactly how the music industry now is run. It's get it chucked out there, get them to have their fill and then pile them with the next load of crap. So I'm going to finish this video off with something really, really simple. Look up jazz funk. Look up rare groove. Freeze, the Southern Freeze. Okay? Have a listen to some two-tone. Have a listen to some ska. Have a listen to some real reggae. Alright? Just do it, especially if you're a new DJ and you're sort of in your 20s or early 30s. You've got to do it for your own sanity. Because if you think that...

4:49 I found one recently, Blue Six

All the music you're listening to now on the radio and in the charts is all there is. You're a fucking idiot. You're an absolute, you're a numbskull. You're just like beyond. You shouldn't be a DJ. To be a DJ is to find interesting tunes. Back to the analogy of food. Find good tunes. I am still to this day, and I will probably to the day I die, finding tunes. I found one recently, Blue Six. I'll put it in the description, the name of the track, from the 90s. And I'm like, where was I? It's from 1998. And I'm playing it all the time. It's just such a wonderful track. I'm still finding tracks. I'm digging around, looking on YouTube, going into record shops, just finding things. Even from CDs I've got. I'm like, I've never played it. Wow, what a good track.

And I'm sure even if there was a thousand of me and that's all we did 24-7, we would still be finding new tracks. So do it for yourself. Anyway, hope this has been a help. Don't forget to leave some comments. I do apologise about the swearing, but I mean, the music industry has to change. It has to. It's being governed by corporate people who decide what you listen to. Yes, the DJ, but mainly the general public. If the general public think that they're listening to tracks and music styles that they like, you're wrong because the system is so clever. It makes you believe that what you're listening to is what you like, but they know how to do things exactly like the food industry. You know, they're making things to make you like them.

You don't like those things because they're yummy and great. No, they're making you like them. So it's a win-win for them and it's a lose-lose for you. Get on with it. Go back in time. Look at some good tunes. Sound Solve. Don't forget, check out Freeze the Southern Freeze. Maybe a lot of you will know AEIOU. That's probably their most well-known track. But to be quite honest... Southern Freeze is such a jazz funk classic, alright? Go and check it out. Thank you for watching. Practice and enjoy.
