0:01 Check it out, hold on, hold on

I wonder who that is. Right folks, check it out, hold on, hold on. Stand with your feet together, buttocks tight, stomach pulled in, arms straight out to the side, shoulder high, now flex your hands upward, press the heels of your hands out to the opposite wall and circle forward. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, big circles. Enough of that, right then, with regards to these 10 minute mixes, I've just been on the telephone to the guy who's organising the website, a guy called Long Tone. Now then, again, you know, sometimes it takes someone just to give you a little bit of information and it makes your brain go pop. Now then, 10 minute mixes. Always I've been on about, well in a couple of videos, I've been on about how do you get to work in nightclubs? How do you get people in nightclubs to listen to you? You send CDs, you send letters, you send emails. Right, now then, this is a job for everyone and this is where, this is, well this is cool, this is just so cool.

1:50 This is how it'll work

All you've got to do now, think about it, if you get a 10 minute mix up. Now, if the manager, okay, hopefully he's going to watch this, think about it, can see you, your personality, who you are, where you're from, because of course there's no point hiring you if you're in the middle of Japan and the manager is in London, but that doesn't matter because we're going to get loads of them. If the manager can see your personality, your bubbliness... What you like, and of course logically the music you play and see you mix, then there's a good chance he might book you. This is how it'll work. It's so simple. You do your 10-minute mix. You put it on YouTube. You put the 10-minute mix link. You link it up to DJTutor.com. So instead of managers going through YouTube and the thousands and thousands of videos, if they go straight through to DJTutor.com, they can see you. Think of the potential. Instead of you...

If you're looking for new talent because believe me there's... Thank you for watching, practice and enjoy.
