The House Mix!

The whole purpose of this month mix marathon is to showcase the different styles of music that I get down with. A lot of people get confused when I play top 40, House, or dubstep (because of my background in Rap/R&B) at my live gigs and they are confused because they just don't know my musical depth, I really don't think there is a genre of music that I totally dislike.

Now on to this week, this week is the house mix, I'll be taking you on a ride down the house side of things with artists such as Fifteenth,Benny Benassi,Duck Sauce,Deadmau5 and more! As always enjoy!

Getting Your Song Played at the Party

How to NOT Get Your Song Played

1.Tell the DJ your about to leave in 3 minutes and he or she has to play your song right now

2. Just because its your friends birthday dosn't mean the DJ is going to now play I can show the world from Aladdin

3. Asking the DJ for songs while he is mixing

4. Asking the DJ to play a song 7 -10 times in a night, the more times you ask the less chance that he or she is going to play it

5. Asking for a song while waving your drink over their equipment... not only are you not getting your song you also might die

6. Touching the DJ's laptop without permission (refer to last part of # 5)

7. Cursing out the DJ

8. Asking for music that only you want to hear

9. Stand all night by the DJ booth and request songs that nobody knows about but you and your friends

I could go all day on another ways to not get your song played but it really comes down to one thing, treat the DJ with respect and you will get the same back. Alot of people dont seem to realize this fact but DJing is a job, it takes alot of time and energy to become a decent DJ and have the ability to entertain multiple groups of people at the same time.

How To Get Your Song Played

1. Ask for a song that fits in the same genre or vibe that DJ is currently playing in

2. When the DJ does play your song actually go dance, dont stand by the booth with the next song you want on your lips

3. Acknowledge that the DJ is a person, you can do this by saying hello, or how are you doing

4. Please and thank you are very powerful words... use them

5. Last and definitely not least enjoy yourself! Trust me the DJ is less likely to play your song if you are a downer

Thank you for reading my little tutorial on getting your song played at the party, this is all my honest opinion and while I cannot guarantee that these rules will get your song played every time your chances will mos def greatly improve.. try it!

This has been a PSA from B Rab Productions, more will be released when it is again deemed necessary

Thank you



World Famous

Wow what a night, this set is pretty much the dream set I've always wanted to do, no preparation of any kind just right on in. And i def want to thank the very talented Joey World Famous for letting me grace his studio (you can check out his work here---> Joey World Famous ). What I loved about this is I was allowed to creatively go where ever I wanted and take the crowd on a musical journey... we were all over from funk to soul to hip hop to dub step to pop to rock and I think i might have gotten some country in there lol. But this is what DJing means to me, its not the crowd dictating what the DJ must play, its a mutual relationship with the crowd and the DJ, the crowd should respect the DJ and his musical choices and give each song selection a chance before they automatically decide its wack because they have never heard it before, and in turn the DJ must respect the crowd giving the crowd songs that they know and songs that they don't opening their eyes to new horizons. The DJ should never be self indulgent only picking songs he/she wants to listen to, they need to have the ability to read the crowd correctly and give them what they want and need with his/her own style.

Hip-Hop: The Musical Gateway Drug

This video is of DJ Inka One and Violinist Paul Dateh as they go through some Hip-Hop classics on the turntables and violin. They are a perfect example of why Hip-Hop in my honest opinion is the best genre of music to get exposed to music as a whole. For example after seeing this set it could spark the interest of an urban youth who has never heard classical music to look up Paul Dateh and he could be inspired to find more. From Hip-Hop's roots of sampling examples of things like this happen all the time, I find myself discovering generes of music I would never think to listen to after I hear a sample of it in a beat. So in closing LISTEN to some Hip-Hop (Pete Rock, 9th Wonder, J.dilla etc.) you might find something you never thought you would.

 

Heres some more----> Part 2

Paul Dateh Absolutely murders the transition from Nas's "It Aint Hard to tell" into SWV's "Right Here"... I got goosebumps...ILL!

Where I Should Have Went to School

This is pic from Dubspot, Dubspot is a DJing and digital production school in New York city, they offer classes in everything from Pro Tools to Reason and from Serato to trakor. The cool thing about this school is some big name DJs teach there (such as DJ Shiftee DMC 2009 World Champion) and big name DJs also go there to learn. There class sizes are pretty small to allow more one on one time with the instructor and to allow more time for students to ask questions. Classes start at around 200 for their weekend courses and go up to around 2000 for a 6 month course. So if your just getting into DJing or production or you've like myself been doing it for years you should definitely check these guys out.
