Promotion November 2008

Contents of the video

Alright folks, too many people out there are always saying like you've got to play this, you've got to play that, you've got to play only house, only hip hop, only techno or only trance. I get so many emails that say Jonathan listen to me please, you know, I want to know how I can put a house set together, a techno set together, a trance set together. Well guess what? Music is the key of life. In other words what you should do, you should devour all aspects, all styles of music. Take it all in and believe it or not, it will make you a better DJ. Now listen, what I'm going to do now, it's mostly house, but it's a bit of funky house, a bit of hard house, it's a bit of like house, house, house. I don't know, if there was a roof on it, I'd live underneath it, but guess what? I am just going to show you how you can just play stuff and have a bit of fun. That's what it's all about. Here we go. The idea with this particular video, apart from...

I'm just like having a mess around. There's too many people out there. They're just like... Seriously, listen. Calm down, calm down. Deep breaths. Sorry. Monsters, you know when they're by the beds? That's so cool. They're by those beds, aren't they? Tell me. Underneath. There's a monster by the bed that's going... Bunk beds. Like that. Anyway. There's too many people, what they're doing is they're just thinking it's got to be techno, it's got to be trance, it's got to be hip-hop. It can only be techno, it can only be trance, it can only be hip-hop. Well the truth of the matter is, it can only be music. That's all, that's what matters. You've got to play from the heart, you've got to play. Enjoy yourself. I certainly do. Believe me, what have I done today? I've looked after my daughter who is a little bit pooly. My son's had a friend around.

I've cooked, I've cleaned, I've washed, I've answered emails, I have done a couple of videos and at the same time, apart from the fact it's actually pissing me down at the moment, I'm enjoying myself. So practice and enjoy. Thank you.
