Gig Log Birthday party 2016 in 360

0:01 It from a different angle

Alright guys, it's a gig log and it's the first gig log I'm doing in 360 degrees so you can see everything. You can watch this time and time again, it's always going to be different because you can always look at it from a different angle. You don't have to look at my opening fast at the moment all the time, you can look at the sheep, the sea, you can look at the grass, the road, the cars or the dirt behind the van. So, today I am doing a 70th birthday party. Yes, 70th birthday party. Surprising, but this is the nature of the beast. For jobs like this, or this industry, you should be able to do anything. So, if you're a new DJ and you're fantastic at mixing EDM and you want to become a mobile DJ, then I wouldn't say forget it, but I would say look at old school music.

Because you're going to have to play everything, unless of course you just say you're an EDM DJ who happens to be mobile, then don't expect much work. Because wedding DJs will have to play practically everything. In fact I think in the time I've been a mobile DJ I've only ever done two events where they specifically asked for say house music or dance music. Every other time it's, we want to hear party music. We want to hear, come on Eileen, we want to hear Michael Jackson. We want to hear just the cheesiest, poppiest CRAP you can imagine. But, believe it or not, even though I do love playing house music, when you get into it, you do get into it and you enjoy it and it's fun, it's vibrant, it's exciting. And if you can show the public that you're having fun and you're smiling and you're happy behind the decks...

2:35 Let's bung another clip on after this

Then you will relay that energy to them, and they'll feel happy. If you stand behind the decks looking like a soft piece of cheese, then they're going to think, oh what an idiot he is. They're not going to be happy. So, on the west coast of Wales, and just driving along a coastal road now, all around you, don't look up there students. Anyway, 360 degree styling, I'm going to pause the camera now, and... Let's bung another clip on after this. We are family on. They just went ballistic and that was it. I had them. I had one of my short ones. I took a gamble. I took a gamble and decided to take the PA speaker. Away you go. So, think about it. The 18s are on. See, I'm going to lug them about. It's alright, you do have to carry them in and out but they're on wheels for God's sake. And then the K8s. So anyone could lift them up and stick them on a bloody tripod. They're tiny. Tonight, turn it up full blast.

Because it was, here is the road, I will finish off with practice and enjoy. First gig log in 360.
