DJ Dan Canadian Tour Video

I just put together some video of DJ Dan on a recent Canadian tour. The footage comes from five different clubs, including The City Grill and Triangles in Moncton, The Palace and Reflections in Halifax, and The Warehouse in Calgary.



Tracks Used in the Backing Audio include:
DJ Dan, "N20" (DJ Dan's Bongloid Mix)
DJ Dan, "Stick Em" (DJ Dan 2010 Edit)
DJ Dan, "Seduction" (Original Mix)
DJ Dan, "Tribute To Voodoo Ray" (Dan's Spellbound Mix)

Here's a link to the video:

A big thanks to Dan for being so accommodating with all of the filming in the various locations. For more information about DJ Dan, visit:

Unfortunately, the footage that was taken on four of the five nights was almost lost due to a major malfunction in the camera used. We managed to recover a small amount from each night, which was used to put this video together, but if you look closely you can still see a few skips and artifacts that we regrettably had to live with.

Video: Setting Up Your Turntables

Several years ago, I filmed Marc Carnes (a DJ and audio expert) doing a tutorial video on the proper setup of a turntable. I ended up posting it to YouTube about two years ago, although I had to cut it up into five different videos at the time because YouTube's 10-minute length-limit. I was tidying up some videos this week and noticed that the series had gotten quite a few views, so I decided to re-encode the original as a single full-length video and post it online to replace the older series. Here's the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_SWUbDgAW8




Basically, the video shows you how to properly set up your Technics 1200 turntables, including leveling, grounding, platter assembly, attaching a cartridge or headshell, and balancing the tone-arm. The Technics 1200 is the industry standard deck, but people using any other turntable brands will gain a fair amount of knowledge from the video too.

 

In addition to the video, I also have a page on my website that talks about this turntable in a lot of detail:

djbolivia.ca/turntables

 

I know that the old series turned out to be useful for thousands of people, so hopefully this single version is a bit more convenient. If you have any questions, feel free to post them in the comments section on YouTube and I'll try to respond as quickly as possible. As always, if you find this video (or the turntable page on the website) to be useful, I appreciate you posting links on your blogs or favorite message boards.

Felguk Video from Halifax

Felguk is the stage name of the Brazilian DJ's and music producer duo Felipe Lozinsky and Gustavo Rozenthal. Felguk were brought into the Paragon on March 5th, 2010, by a friend of mine, the late Galen MacDonald (GTM Group). Thanks to Felguk, the Paragon, and GTM for their assistance in getting footage to create this video:


YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdGlP8ftAp0



Audio backing tracks used in this video include:

0:00 Felguk, "Buzz Me" (Rework 2011 Master).
2:03 Felguk, "Galaxy Traveller" (Original Mix).
4:32 Felguk, "Side By Side" (Felguk Intro Mix).

Click here for a discography of the group.


Unfortunately, the footage that was taken that night was almost lost due to a major malfunction in the camera used. Galen and I talked about it last summer, when I was working out west and initially tried to start editing. He was disappointed that the footage had been lost and it wouldn't be possible to complete the video. However, I rediscovered the tapes again last week and by using some older cameras in the my studio, I eventually managed to recover a small amount which was used to put this video together. If you look closely at the final video, you can still see a few skips and artifacts that I regrettably had to include, since there was so little good footage that I could recover. However, I think that if Galen was still around, he'd be very happy to know that something came together eventually.

Mix: Bolivia, "All About Love And Dancing"

I was just looking through my hard drives and I found a copy of a mix called "All About Love And Dancing" that I did a while ago (April 26th, 2002, to be exact). Most of it is a Deep House style mix, so definitely not the sort of music that I play regularly. And remember that I mixed this on vinyl in 2002, so my mixing skills weren't quite as good as they are today!

Anyway, it's a pretty grooving yet laid-back mix, good to listen to on a lazy Saturday or Sunday afternoon, so I thought I'd swallow my professional pride and throw it up here as a "blast from the past" sort of download. And I guess that the mixing isn't THAT bad. Someone on MixRiot was kind enough to describe the mix as, "Intense, elegant and sensorial." So here's the link:

Tutorial Video about Audio Mixer Basics

I just put together another section of my "Learn To DJ" course, with a new video on YouTube. This one focuses on the BASICS of using mixers, whether they are DJ mixers or general purpose audio mixers.



Basically, I spent the first half of the video explaining simple concepts, using a Pioneer DJM-600 DJ-style mixer to illustrate concepts. I covered things like:
- What the channels are.
- How the EQ controls work.
- How the "room" or "mains" or "master" volume works (for the dance floor).
- How the "booth" or "monitor" volume works (for monitors in the DJ booth).
- How the "cue" or "headphones" volume works (so you can cue up songs in the headphones).
- How gain/trim levels work, to standardize output from each channel.
- How to keep a clean sound by avoiding pushing your individual channel gains & volumes to the point of distorting your signal.
- How to cue up tracks in the headphones.
- How the cross-fader works, and whether or not you need to use it.

I skipped fancier topics like using the on-board effects or send/returns.

After I finished with the DJM-600, I talked about two other DJ mixers, the Allen & Heath Xone 62 and the Allen & Heath Xone 4D. I showed how different mixers appear on the surface to be radically different, but really, most of them have all of the same basic functions. I mentioned the MIDI sections on the Xone 4D, but didn't go into any detail about them.

Finally, I brought out a couple of general audio mixers (the Mackie CR-1602 and the Yamaha EMX-5000) and talked about the differences between mixers designed specifically for DJ's versus those designed for live performances or studio use, with significantly more channels.


If you need extremely detailed videos describing the functions of any of the mixers mentioned here, you should dig deeper into YouTube. This video was intended to teach people what a mixer is used for and how to recognize the basic functions, rather than to go into complete detail about all the advanced features.

Hopefully some of you will enjoy watching the video (I apologize, but the sound in this video stutters occasionally in the first thirty seconds):

How to Self-Ground a Technics 1200 Turntable

About a year ago, Fred Bissnette and I filmed a video that showed do-it-yourself technicians how to self-ground a Technics 1200-series turntable, so you no longer need to attach a grounding wire to the mixer. No more feedback or annoying hum from improperly grounded turntables! I cut it up into five parts and posted it on YouTube (because of the ten-minute file limit at the time) and in the past year, the videos have had tens of thousands of views. So now that my account has been upgraded to allow for long-length videos, I figured it would be worthwhile to spend a bit of time and to re-post the video in its original, full-length version.

 
 

Basically, the video teaches any competent home-repair buff how to do the job themselves and save a significant "upgrade" fee, with just a milk crate, phillips screwdriver, wire strippers (or knife), and a soldering iron. The modification is actually quite simple, and the video explains how to ground it properly, so that the deck is properly grounded for all types of cartridges, without rending your turntable in mono. Please note that we shall not assume responsibility for any damages to your turntable incurred while attempting this repair. However, watch the entire video, and you'll see that a competent DIY handyman can quickly and easily perform this task at home.

Here's a link to the new, full-length version:

Again, many thanks to Fred Bissnette (DJ Nexus6ix) for his assistance with this video.

Show: Irish Party at STU

I played another show at St. Thomas University tonight. To be honest, it was one of the toughest dance floors that I've had in the past dozen or more shows.

The format was a bit different than normal. I was asked to try to play a mix of "Irish Music and Pub Music" for the first hour or two, and then move into normal club dance music for the last couple hours. I played a dance set at the same school only three weeks ago, and it was one of the best events that I've played in ages. But tonight's show was harder.

For a DJ, trying to analyze the dance floor is the hardest part of the job. No matter how much music you know, you can't just play the music that you like personally, or else you're probably not going to make a lot of people happy. And what's tougher, the music that one person enjoys is quite often NOT the music that the next person enjoys. For a DJ, the best dance floor that you'll ever get is one where everyone likes the same kind of music, and it's also a genre that you like. But no matter how talented you are, if you have a "fragmented" dance floor, you're going to be banging your head against a wall. That's how I felt tonight.

 

 

Generally, around my corner of the world, there are three main genres of music for club-goers: classic rock, hip hop, and dance music. I'll ignore indie music, which is another important category, but not one that many "club" goers listen to. The indie-loving hipsters hang out in the cool bars (by the way, I occasionally work as a bartender in one of those sort of places, and I love it - you can find the "Ducky's" photo album on my facebook page). Anyway, usually, each person on the dance floor prefers one of those three genres, then tolerates or appreciates a second of the three, and prefers to avoid (or adamantly detests) the third.

So for tonight, since it was a couple days after St. Patrick's, I assumed that I'd be playing a combination of classic rock and "east coast" music and Irish or Celtic music. And I did. It actually went over much better than I had hoped (and I enjoy playing this sort of stuff). I prolonged moving into the dance music for a bit longer than expected. At this point, I was worried, because I had moved with some pretty up-tempo east coast music (Great Big Sea) right into dance tracks that actually had a slower tempo. So for the first ten minutes of dance music, it felt (to me) like the tempo was "dragging." Mental note for all DJ's out there: if you're in a situation like this, you're far better off just dropping to a track with a really slow tempo at first, to break up the energy expectation, and then start building slowly again. I knew this lesson; I just thought I could ignore it tonight. In retrospect, I'd do it differently. But other than that slight hiccup, once the "dance music" (top40) started, the energy of the dance floor really started to pick up.

Hip hop wasn't a problem tonight. I don't mind playing hip hop at all, in fact I enjoy it at times, but tonight wasn't the right setting. Luckily, I only had three requests for hip hop tracks. By the way, "Black And Yellow" was one of those requests as usual. When I started playing that back in September, I really liked the song but had no idea that it would peak six months later, instead of within the month. But I think I was able to steer two of the three requests to top40 tracks, so not a big deal.

The only real problem was that a lot of the people who really enjoyed the east coast music didn't seem to be completely into the dance music too. The dance floor was great for a few hours, but towards the end of the night it started to die down. I'm not used to that. I'm used to having the "peak" of the dance floor be at the end of my set (when I headline at clubs), then the lights get turned on and people go home wanting more. I suspect that since I was playing at a university, with a lot of students who are approaching finals in a few weeks, they were pretty worn out (especially after the real St. Patrick's parties on Thursday night). And to be honest, I also played two tracks tonight that are extremely popular in my own university town, but which didn't go over well at all tonight. Different universities, different mindset. Live and learn.

But anyway, although it was a pretty challenging night from my own point of view, every night can't be the best show of your career. There's no question that I'd still go back to play there again, and I still enjoyed most of the night. And learning new nuances about a dance floor is something that a DJ needs to be prepared for, even after years of experience. Also, the promoter/organizer was great.

Here are track listings from tonight's show. Remember that the first part was all supposed to be classic rock and east coast, and the rest could be loosely categorized as "top 40" and "club dance music." Also, more than a dozen of the dance tracks that I played in the second half of the set were requests - some of which really surprised me. Here we go:

SHG Radio Show Episode 052

Welcome to this week's edition of Subterranean Homesick Grooves™, a weekly electronica-based radio show presented on CHMA FM 106.9 at Mount Allison University in Atlantic Canada, and also distributed as a global podcast through iTunes and numerous other sites. The show is normally programmed and mixed by Jonathan Clark (as DJ Bolivia), although some weeks feature guest mixes by other Canadian DJ's. The show encompasses many sub-genres within the realm of electronic dance music, but the main focus is definitely on progressive and tribal house, and a very small amount of trance & techno. Liner notes for this episode (052) can be seen below.

Upbeat Workout Music, Mix #04

I've spent the past couple days putting together another workout music mix, and there has been a lot of anticipation of people waiting for this one ...

The mix is an hour long, and anyone can download it (the link is near the bottom of this post). The mix that you can download here doesn't have any personal or radio station promos in it, so it will be great if it's being played in a gym.


Here are Track Listings for Workout Mix #04:

01. Ke$ha, "Blow" (Radio Edit).
02. Nervo & Ollie James, "Irresistable" (Chuckie & Gergori Klosman Remix).
03. Katy Perry, "ET" (Dave Aude Club Mix).
04. Zoe Badwi, "Freefallin" (Moto Blanco Club Mix).
05. J Pearl, "It's Getting Physical" (Wideboys Dub Mix).
06. Kim Sozzi, "Rated R" (Jump Smokers Clean Extended Mix).
07. Alyssa Rubino, "Keep On Dancing" (Wideboys Club Remix).
08. Usher, "More" (Gareth Wyn Remix).
09. Rihanna, "S&M" (Joe Bermudez & Chico Extended Mix).
10. Jennifer Lopez, "On The Floor" (Brian Cua Summer Club Mix).
11. Sander Van Doorn, "Love Is Darkness" (Original Mix).
12. Gareth Emery, "Sanctuary."
13. Laidback Luke, "Timebomb" (Original Mix).
14. Deadmau5, "Sofi Needs A Ladder" (Dj Chaos Cut & Paste Re-Edit Mix).

Note: If you're trying to track down remixes listed above and they sound different than what you're hearing in this mix, it's because I do a lot of specific editing of my own to each track before I put the mix together, and there is a lot of extra percussion added.


To download a 1.5 GB Zip file that includes all of the mixes in DJ Bolivia's workout series, right-click on this link and choose "save target" or "save link":

chma.fm/Workout_Mixes_1-12.zip

I have lots of other upbeat electronica mixes available on my DJ website. Admittedly, there aren't too many mixes there [yet] that are exclusively club dance tracks, but there are a lot of house/trance mixes that I find to be pretty good to listen to when I'm going running. Or driving. Or doing any sort of mindless task where I just want some energetic beats to listen to. Most of them are about an hour long, to fit onto a standard CD. Check them out, maybe you'd enjoy some of them?
