DJ Tips for your New yrs Eve Mobile Gig... you give some too

0:00 First and foremost it's for mobile DJ purposes

All right guys, first of all I hope you had a good Christmas and may you have a good prosperous new year. Now, I'd like you to do video responses to this. This particular video is about giving people, because there's only one day left, some good quality information, hopefully it's good quality, on doing a New Year's Eve function. First and foremost it's for mobile DJ purposes. All right, make sure you have a good quality watch with you. Make sure it's on time, precisely on time, so you know when to count down. Well maybe not necessarily when to count down, but it will inform you when, let's say, to turn the radio on. Radio, why do you need a radio? Well here in the UK we have the chimes of Big Ben. So another tip for you, maybe take a small wireless, a small radio with you and have that by the side of your watch.

1:09 Excuse me, very simple, your microphone, you're talking on your microp

Look at your watch, if you can see you've got about a minute left, then of course what you need to do is make sure you're tuned in to the correct station and play the chimes of Big Ben on the radio. But of course, small radio, how do you get that on your PA? Excuse me, very simple, your microphone, you're talking on your microphone. Ladies and gentlemen we're about to hear the chimes of Big Ben, microphone from here down to your wireless. Your radio, and there you go. Now people have got the authentic sound of Big Ben coming through the speakers. Music, what do you play? Well again, if it is your stereotypical New Year's Eve function, make it party, make it happy, make it poppy, make it sing-along, bit of dancey stuff, maybe, well yeah, definitely loads of modern stuff, but make it so people know the tunes.

2:20 Important part, laptop, time

Try not to start playing some hard banging techno or anything like that. I mean, maybe towards the end, use your instruments. It's your initiative. Maybe at some point they may want something like that, but New Year's Eve generally for mobile DJs, they want to have it party. They want to sing-along from the word go. They want to enjoy themselves. That is the main factor. A lot of people seem to think New Year's Eve, my goodness, it's going to be really difficult. Do you know what? If you've got the right tunes, it's possibly one of the easiest nights. The most important part, THE, THE most important part of New Year's Eve, is the music. The most important part of New Year's Eve is to make sure you get that countdown correct. If you can do it correct, you're sorted.

If you don't, and I've been there, you do the 5, 4, 3, 2, HAPPY NEW YEAR! If it's the wrong time, I promise you this, you will have one if not twenty people saying, you're late, you're three minutes late, or 3, 2, now it's New Year's Eve. You don't want that to happen. So make sure, if anything, if you have not got a watch which is precisely what you need, on the right time, try and take a wireless with you. Or maybe if you've got your laptop, you will have the time on the laptop. Maybe now, I'm sure you can, you can even get into a channel on your laptop where you can get the chimes where we are in the UK of Big Ben. Maybe of course it's different around the world. But do your best, have fun, and again, put a video response if you've got any good tips for New Year's Eve functions.

Have fun. 2011 is going to be good for us all. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
