Practisenjoy, 2008, video 2, Interview with DJ Omega

0:00 I do mobile stuff in northern Wisconsin

DJ Omega. And DJ Omega, first of all, whereabouts do you work? I work? Yeah. Well, I do mobile stuff in northern Wisconsin. Okay. And what sort of kit have you got? A little bit of everything. I'm kind of a gear whore. Yeah. Aren't we all? Yeah, I've got Pioneer stuff. I just picked up my first Technique. I have a lot fewer than you two. You and Brian. Okay. I'm working on that, but I have American DJ Pro Scratch 2 CD players, two of those, Newmark Dual CD player, Pioneer So you haven't really got much, have you? No, not a lot. It's never enough. And what PA have you got? I run the Mac ESRM450. Looking to get some subs here pretty soon. Just got a laptop, or just ordered a laptop, so now I'm looking to go digital. I don't carry six, seven cases of CDs with me to all those mobile wedding gigs. So I'm trying to lighten the load a little bit and I just got some DMX LED lighting, things like that. So I'm looking on converting my light show over. Cool. And you said you had nothing to talk about. Yeah, I got nothing. That's all.

1:08 Best ever gig was probably in college

That's my story. Here's the deal, no, you tell me if you can remember your best ever gig. What's your most enjoyable? Best ever gig was probably in college. It was a Halloween dance, they had me up on a stage so I felt like a rock star, all that good stuff. Excellent. They had close to 500 people there. That's nice. It's one of those shows you get done with and there's no way you're sleeping that night. So amped from it. Brilliant. Everybody was having a good time, they were good dancing, crowd dancing, so that was probably the best one. Best and biggest ones. How about the worst one? Worst one? What's the nightmare? Biggest nightmare. Biggest nightmare. You know, where everything's gone wrong or something. I never have one. No, my gigs are on. Clever sod he is. No, no, it's alright. Haven't had any real major hardware issues, anything like that, anything breaking down. Yeah. I'm always kind of overly prepared. I have a list of everything I need to bring so it's never like you get there and you're missing a mic or something and you're talking in your headphones all night or anything like that. Any tips you can give anybody?

2:07 Your own personal tips, for example

Your own personal tips, for example. Practice what you do, don't get in over your head, especially with DJs starting out and things like that. Make sure you get the experience. Check out the videos at djtutor.com. You know, that'll get you started, but then try and work with somebody. Events like this, Practice & Enjoy 2008 is a great event to... Getting all goosebumps now. That's so cool. Yeah, good man. Oh, it's here, it's here, so... Oh no! Oh, I'm gonna come here again! But, yeah. And that's the big thing, be prepared, because there's always something that's going to throw a wrench in what you want to do, whether it's you get there and you have a flight of stairs or you get there and it's raining and you're trying to get your gear halfway dry into the event and things like that. So there's always something, but try and do your best to be prepared. Thank you very much. Now seriously, I said to this guy, can I interview you? And he said, well I haven't really got anything to say. The problem is now you can't shut me up. No, that's good, that's good. And practice and enjoy. Practice and enjoy. Thank you very much, nice one dude.

Thank you for being here.
