Skype interview with John Beck from Australia

0:00 John Beck and he's on Skype and he's all the way from Australia

Here we go, that guy over there is Mr. John Beck and he's on Skype and he's all the way from Australia. Say hello mate. Hello. Hopefully you can hear this. How long has it taken us to get to this stage? About half an hour? Yeah. Oh God, if you'd have heard me earlier on, I was saying a few choice words. And under the stairs, I don't know if anyone knows, but well I'm sure you've all got, if anyone in the house has got an area under the stairs, normally you fill that full of junk, don't you? Well, I've got the original box somewhere for the webcam and I needed to load up the driver in the laptop and I couldn't find it so I was just chucking all this stuff out left right and centre and it was flying all over the place. Oh dear!

If there was a fly on the wall, I'm sorry, I would have squashed it by now. Yes. Well, we're here because, I mean, people may or may not know, but Mr. A1 Party DJ is here now. He's one of the new tutors on the website. So that's looking good. Well, I am and you're an ugly bugger. Tell everybody, what sort of things are you going to be doing? What sort of tutorials? Yeah.

2:58 Thank you for watching, and see you next time

Yeah, I think you've hit the nail on the head there because with reference to what you said about gig logs, I think if people, let's say for example a new DJ who wants to become a mobile DJ, if they watched gig logs from you, me, from Brian and from all of the other people around the world and just took tiny snippets of information from all of them, then in essence they could... Thank you for watching, and see you next time. Forget everything you've been taught. Go out, go into hotels, work in restaurants and that's when you will really start to work and to learn the trade. So in essence, I suppose I'm not trying to contradict myself, but new DJs will watch videos, get little tips, but you'll only really start to learn the true ethics of the job by being in the situation yourself. I hope so. Listen, listen.

It is, I mean, it's lovely to have you on board because, you know, it's all well and good myself being this so-called DJ tutor and Brian, but, you know, the whole emphasis of the concept I started isn't just me, isn't just Brian. It's getting as many people involved as possible and just sharing knowledge and basically trying to kickstart people and getting people motivated. You know, ideally I would like to get to the stage where there's loads of tutors doing their own little thing, you know, someone who's very good on PC, someone's very good on the internet, someone, you know, radio, television, anything like that. Get more people involved so there's more information to be passed on. Yes.

Oh, well this is it. I mean, I watch some of the younger DJs and I think bloody hell that's clever. And, you know, I mean, I have to say this, there's possibly some people that think I'm the all-seeing eye. Well, I am not. And like you've said, you said earlier on, you know, and I'll reiterate, we are not the best DJs in the world, by far. But we've got a little bit of knowledge, a little bit of information, and what we're doing and what we have been doing is... In the industry itself, and that's what we've got. And lastly, so we don't run out of time, of course you and Pedster, you started the Life for Vibes. Do you want to explain what all that's about, etc.? Yeah, yeah. Can you explain to people how they can participate? What do they have to do? Sure. Excellent.

Alright, we'll cut this one and like I said, I'll send you a copy of this as well so you can bung it on. And I'm looking forward to hearing the outtakes. What, did you get that bit? It was funny though, well I have done occasionally but, you know, sometimes frustration gets in and it's like, well there you go, at the end of the day I'm only bloody human. Right, listen my friend, I'm going to say practice and enjoy and also... I can't wait to meet you in Las Vegas. You know and it's always handy to know when he's got a new video uploaded because
