My mix, tutorial, advise, vlog, Me talking crap!, LOL!

0:00 A lot of people have been saying I haven't been using vinyl that much

Right folks, a lot of people have been saying I haven't been using vinyl that much. Well the reason being is because, believe it or not, I can't afford, or I couldn't afford to buy any styli. But I've got some now, so bit of a vlog, bit of a mess around, do a mix and we'll have a chat. Here we go. I'll put the names of the tracks on the side of the video. By the way, I'm like this because it's bloody hot. I mean seriously, you wouldn't believe my life at the moment. It's very surreal. It is. I mean... You look at me and you see me do these tutorials, mixes, mucking about, doing YouTube psychologists and whatnot, but it's just me having a bit of fun. A few people out there think I've lost it. Well, maybe I have, or maybe it's my way of just being me because I won't change and I want to change. The thing is though, the way I look at it, I'm having a good, I'm having fun, you know.

I work hard, I try and do my best, I look after my family and at the same time I'm in this room by myself and you know travelling around the place hopefully inspiring and teaching a lot of people out there. That's what I want to do and also motivate people to do the same thing. This next one is one of my favourite tracks of all time. It's very minimal, it's on relief records, but it's a classic. Twilight Zone. 697. We had these nights, Ball Club and Aberystwyth. We used to have Matt Edwards from the Ministry of Sound, we used to have an old bunch of DJs down there, and we played really decent underground hardhouse. Then it was like Chicago style, boom, boom. Like that, it's a pure, big, funky bass. That dum-dum-dum like that. This tune just rocked the place. Absolutely fantastic. I remember those times. I used to do like the PA higher and stuff like that. A couple of times I played as well. It was just good fun. You know, there was loads of people, smoky atmosphere, loud noise, the lights were shite apart from two optokinetic strobe flowers. That's all you needed. The crowd the music did the most. Right, this next one...

2:52 It's the screech by the screech

It's the screech by the screech. So like I said in previous videos, you don't have to just play electro house, just house, just techno, just trance in a set. You can mush everything together and just all of a sudden you've gone from just house to playing a bit of house, bit of techno, bit of trance, mix it together. Beers, I relax. Enjoy myself. That's what you gotta do. People can see you enjoying yourself. They will enjoy themselves as well. If you stand there on the decks like this...

They're going to feel near enough exactly the same. Monitoring really lucky in all this kit, but the way I look at it is, you know, hopefully I'm inspiring and teaching a lot of people, showing them how to use the kit, but also showing you what's out there. I am totally independent. No one's paying me to do this video now. No one's paying me, let's say, to demo a certain piece of kit. If I want to talk about it, I'll talk about it. You know, if I think it's shit, I won't even demo it. But alright.

9:07 It's got that original house beat

If you have made a mistake and you appreciate the fact that you've made a mistake, don't like think, oh shit what do I do? And like try and make fun of it. Just in terms with it, because if you come to terms with it they'll think, well yeah, at least the DJ's admitting to it. It's got that original house beat. You know this is it, sometimes I'll come in here, most of the time I'm by myself, and it's like brilliant, I can just express myself how I want to do what I want to do, when I want to do, cool. It's really what you've got to do. Stop thinking you have to be that best DJ. I want to be a DJ, I want to go straight and work in the clubs. Maybe what you've got to do is think, I want to be a DJ, I'm going to enjoy what I do, play the music I like, do my best, and guess what? If I am good, then maybe, you know, I may be in a position to go and work in a nightclub. But believe me, it's hard. There is a lot of competition. All you can do is do your best. That's it. Practice and enjoy.
