WHY Can't We See the DJ a Big Events?

0:01 Welcome to the bedroom

Right ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the bedroom. Now discussion here, please leave your comments because I want to know what you think about it. So let's imagine you get a whole bunch of people getting together for a rave. You've got two or three hundred people and the DJ is playing the tunes and it's a bit rough and ready. DJ sort of like down on the ground and if you want to you can go up to him or her and watch what they're doing. Another thousand steps further to these mega events. And I'm not talking about one or two thousand people, I'm talking twenty, thirty thousand people. Massive events where you've got the DJ up there on a big podium, an array of lights and effects, and the DJ is chucking out some blinding tunes and everyone's raving to it. Now, the events I've been to like that, and I'll be very honest with you, not many.

I have never actually been able to see what the DJ is doing. And you know what? It's the most annoying thing in the world. Now, on a couple of events, I've all of a sudden seen the DJ flash on a screen and seen them do something, but then it's gone to the effects again. So all you actually see from a distance is this small person This silhouette of a person moving around and putting their hands up, you don't see them doing anything. You can hear the music but you don't physically see them doing anything. Now this is something that pisses me off and annoys me and to be quite honest if you're going to pay a lot of money to see and hear a DJ you need to of course hear them but you actually need to see what they're doing as well. I truly believe that. So in my mind I honestly think what should happen

2:26 You're trying to see someone

Every single big event now, no matter how big it is, there should be some form of screen or screens that are on at all times so you can see what the DJ is doing. Now this isn't a new thing, alright? This isn't new because a lot of bands will do this. Big events, Wembley Stadium or whatever, I don't know. You have got... Bands who will have huge screens up and the camera will be on the drummer, then the guitarist, then the singer, and you'll be able to see what they're doing. Not some of the time, all of the time, because they're thinking about the people in the back. Because you're straining your eyes trying to see these dots like half a mile away. And let's be honest, in some of these big events it's exactly like that. You're trying to see someone...

Who is giving this experience to you that's actually like two or three hundred meters away from you and you can't, you can't get the vibe. Now also to add to this video, you go to an event and you're in and around say for example ten thousand people. Now straight away you're going to get a vibe and energy from those ten thousand people. You're also going to be feeling great And euphoric and get the energy from the lighting and the effects as well. And of course the music. So if we had a pie chart out of that pie, how much of the whole evening would be based on let's say the lighting effect? Would be based on the amount of people you're with or around should I say? How much of that pie chart would be on the music and the DJ? Because if you think about it...

4:20 One especially of a DJ, like chopping food and stuff like that

Organizers, you know these promoters are very clever. They won't just have a DJ stuck all the way six million miles away and have no effects. They'll make sure there are damn good effects to make sure the evening is this euphoric extravaganza that you'll remember forever. So there's a lot to it. The production is insane in some of these events. So if they're going to spend a fortune on production... Now there are loads of videos out there. One especially of a DJ, like chopping food and stuff like that. And if you think about it, you know, if you're stood on the ground and the DJ is elevated quite high, he or she could really be doing anything. They could be just texting someone on Facebook. They could have like, I don't know, a small little mixer there and just pressing buttons because so long as the music is playing...

Everyone out in the dance floor and the crowd are just going to be so hyped up that the energy in that entire venue is going to keep everyone going. It's a win-win situation. Ten people in a room, dead. Twenty people in a room, dead. Of course it depends how big the room is. But then the more people you've got, the more chance you've got of keeping and getting an energy instead of having one or two people. For example, if you've worked in places before where you've had 10 people come in, have a look, there's nothing going on here, out they go. Another 10 people come in, nothing happening, out they go. Three people come in... Out they go. Two people come in. Well, let's be honest. If 25 people stayed, then when another 10 came in, they think, well, there's 25 people here. They stay and then more and more and more stay. You see? So it's about people as well. When you've got a group of people as a collective together, then you're more likely to have more energy in that room than if you don't have many people in the room. So let's round this video up.

What do you think? Do you think that big events should have screens so we can always see what the DJ is doing instead of seeing this small little dot a million miles away doing that love heart and whatever else. What do you think? Practice and enjoy.
