Here’s the third video in Andy Touchfingers’ Mixed in Key video tutorial series for djs. Andy demonstrates in this video how to listen to tracks for differen sections, many of which have different keys (much like an entirely different song within the main song). He also continues to show us how to match keys of tracks using software.

“Some kinds of music are very logged in to  one tonal center” explains Andy. Many different genres have different song structures, and some have more movement in tone. He also tells us how music with a lot of effects and strange noise are difficult to key, simply because of the strange nature of the sounds!

Andy also explains how the Circle of Fifths works, which is very valuable to know in order to understand how different keys go with each other.

Free DJ Contracts Templates, Examples & Downloads

by How To DJ on May.25, 2009, under DJ Books, DJ Tips, DJ Tutorials, DJ eBooks, How To DJ, dj contracts

What’s in a typical DJ contract? Well, to understand what is in a dj contract we need to first understand what DJ contracts are any why they are necessary.

A contract is defined as:

” an exchange of promises between two or more parties to do, or refrain from doing, an act, which resulting contract is enforceable in a court of law.”

(source)

Basically, a contract is an agreement that is enforceable in the courtrooms… so, if anyone breaks the rules outlined in the contract, they can be held liable for not living up to their end of the bargain.

Whatever you’re doing, it is best practice to work with a contract. On the lower end of the scale, contracts may not make sense. When there is a larger monetary investment involved, it is very important to ensure that both parties get their agreement in writing so that everyone knows what to expect, and also to ensure that both parties get a fair deal and to make sure that no one gets ripped off.

What is in a DJ Contract?

DJs and booking agents may require certain things to be outlined in a contract, including:

  • Payment Terms
  • Fees
  • Room, Board, and Transportation details
  • Equipment Requirements
  • Date of Event/Time Slot Confirmation
  • Artist Riders
  • Any Additional Requirements
  • Terms that breach the contract

Clubs, Event Organizers, and Promoters can require certain things from the artists as well:

  • Confirmation of date
  • DJs obligation to perform
  • Use of Artist in promotional materials
  • Additional requirements and assurances
  • Terms that will breach the contract

Usually the venue/promoters cannot do anything if the DJ plays terrible, misses the gig due to illness or travel complications. Most DJs / agencies will require a portion of the money upfront, in order to hedge against playing then never getting paid.

Whether you are a DJ or a promoter, do not be intimidated by contracts. Contracts between DJs and event organizers are not meant to intimidate or deter anyone from working together.. they are simply a form of agreement to ensure that everyone gets what they ask for.

NOTE: If you need full DJ Contracts and more detailed information on how to draw up any type of DJ Contract, we recommend purchasing Danny Rampling’s eBook, which covers DJ Contracts in full detail, and includes samples and templates you can use to draw up your own DJ contracts. It’s only about $30, and will definitely save you from the pain and suffering of writing out your own contracts.  Click here for purchase info.

Beginner DJ Mistakes

3 Mistakes Beginner DJs Make

Here are just a few words of wisdom from the Benjamin Ellis , President and CEO of the successful DJ Video tutorial series

Mistake #1: “Learning How To DJ From Books Is Too Difficult…”

This is the number one culprit that most new DJ’s fall victim too. They think they can pick up a book and learn how to DJ overnight. I’m sorry to say it just doesn’t happen like that. If there is one thing I’ve learned that I can pass on to you is that without actually seeing how it’s done, books on how to DJ are pretty much useless.

Mistake #2: I can learn how to DJ by using my friends DJ equipment…”

This is another big hindrance and probably the most unbeknown to beginner DJ’s. This catches most new DJ’s off guard because learning DJ skills and techniques on another persons DJ equipment will hinder your development to personalize and create your own style. Why? Because you can only use their equipment when they’re available. Besides, owning your own DJ equipment allows you explore your creativity on your own time when that spectacular idea pops in your head!.

Mistake #3 I’ll just buy some cheap DJ equipment and learn on that…”

Using “cheap DJ equipment” is basically like committing a crime in the DJ community. Avoid this mistake at all costs. There are many reasons why you should but here are the biggest reasons. (1) Belt drive turntables are worthless for DJ’s and they are not made for DJing. (2) Using cheap DJ equipment will only throw your DJ skills and techniques off. (3) Buy the right DJ the first time because like I’ve told tens of thousands of people “DJing is easy when you have the right equipment.”

Avoiding these three main mistakes
virtually guarantees your success.

And just incase you were wondering I’ve made these mistakes before including some not mentioned. But after I learned from these three mistakes I was able to avoid future mistakes and “develop my own style” after a few short sessions.

My friend … if you let me, I along will my partners Ill Vibe Collective, can show you DJ skills and techniques by teaching you basics and then showing you variations of the same techniques to take you to the next level. Once have those skills down pat other skills will come much faster and thus the learning curve is shortened.

by How To DJ on Mar.09, 2009, under DJ Books, DJ Tips, DJ Tutorials, DJ eBooks, DJing Basics, How To DJ, Learn To DJ, Strip Club DJ

On Being a Gentleman’s Club DJ

There a many different types and variations of the traditional “DJ”.  DJs come in many shapes, sizes, colors, backgrounds (both culturally and musically). That being said, we couldn’t turn down the opportunity to expose you to the unique world of the Strip Club DJ.

Strip Club DJ eBook

Strip Club DJ eBook

Many have aspirations of DJing in clubs for thousands of fans, but not as many have taken the road of being a disc jockey for the sole purpose of enabling nude women to dance more effectively for paying clientele.

Author Bill Matthews has provided use with a new eBook covering every aspect of DJing at Gentlemen’s Clubs. He claims that  “You can easily make $500 or more every day, surrounded by hot, sexy women.”

Here is Bill’s Bio: About Bill Matthews, author of the Strip Club DJ eBook

Here are the basics of what’s Covered in “I’d Kill For That Job”: How To Become a Strip Club DJ

  • Discover exactly what to say and how to say it

    It’s easy. And when you have this, you’ll quickly develop your own style. You’ll be able to handle any club situation. The best clubs will want you to be their ‘voice.’ And the best clubs have the best women, the ones who line your pockets with cash.

  • How to run the equipment

    If you can run your home stereo, you can run the sound system in any club. I’ll show you everything you need to know in short order.

    I’ll share the ins and outs of stage lighting. Dancers will tip extra when you give them a great light show.

  • How to control the Dancers

    You’ll discover how to keep them happy and keep them tipping. And how to become any dancer’s favorite DJ.

    This matters because every club has at least one or two prima donnas that can drive a DJ crazy. With “I’d Kill For That Job,” you’ll discover how to deal with these spoiled brats and turn them into your best tippers.

  • Choose the best club to make the best bucks

    Discover how to make sure you are immediately aware of any openings at any club that interests you. You’ll save months, even years of being stuck in a bad club. You’ll move up to the best clubs 10 times faster than most DJs even dream of doing.

    You’ll be able to identify the different types of managers and club owners, and know how to deal with each type effectively. You’ll discover how to get the best shifts, as many as you like, and make more money faster.

  • How to choose music that keeps both the dancers and the audience pumped up

    • A system for keeping track of each dancer’s music.
    • A fast and easy way to discover the best songs within any music category.
    • How to keep up with new music in minutes each week, not hours.
  • Avoid the costly mistakes almost every DJ makes.

    • A simple technique to boost your tips that 90% of DJs overlook.
    • The right time to change clubs or shifts. Many DJs settle for $100 to $200 a night. It’s easy to duck this mistake when you know how.
    • Discover ‘attitude money’ and how it can boost your income.
    • The do’s and don’ts of dating dancers and waitresses.

Plus 2 Valuable DJing Bonuses:

Bonus #1 – “Free Personal Consultation”

If you get stuck, I’ll personally help in any way I can. Just describe the problem in an e-mail and I’ll get back to you ASAP. Order now, then take advantage of this offer later when you find yourself really up against it. It’s unlikely you’ll bump into a situation I have not already faced successfully.

Bonus #2 – “Free Voice Coaching Session”

Send a copy of your demo tape (which I show you how to make in the course). Or a sample recording of you working in a club. Use one side of a cassette. I’ll record on the opposite side and return it to you with specifics that apply strictly to you. This will help you sound more professional and, of course, make more money.

These two consultations alone are worth far more than the price of the course. But if you order right now, the consultation and this free one-on-one voice coaching session are yours. And there is no time limit on these offers. Take advantage of each when it makes sense to do so.

“I’d Kill For That Job”

About Bill Matthews, author of the eBook on how to be a strip club DJ

My name is Bill Matthews and before I retired from the business, I was a DJ and manager for one of the most famous gentleman’s club organizations in the world, Rick’s Cabaret and The Colorado Bar & Grill in Houston, Texas.

Rick’s was the first ‘gentleman’s club’ and is the club that many of the biggest clubs today are modeled after. The club has been featured in Penthouse magazine and one year over half of the Penthouse Pets were Rick’s Girls including Pet of the Year and the 20th anniversary Pet, Lynn Johnson, as well as former Playboy Playmate of the Year Anna Nicole Smith. The Colorado Bar & Grill has been featured in Playboy and has also had its fair share of Penthouse Pets and Playboy Playmates.

In addition to being a DJ, I was responsible for hiring and training new DJ’s for the organization. Some guys are great DJ’s but they don’t have any idea how to teach someone else how to be a DJ. I’ve trained dozens of DJ’s and, having also been a manager, know what managers look for when hiring a DJ.

In more recent years, I’ve been involved in the music business in a management capacity and developing seminars for musicians. My experience in the music business helped me learn how to help creative people handle their careers for the long term. That experience came in handy when writing the book. I use it to show you how to get noticed and move up to the bigger clubs where the real money is.

More than anything, I love to teach. While still managing bands, I developed a weekend seminar for local musicians to show them how to take charge of their careers. My seminar was successful on a local level but there were several other people doing similar seminars around the country and the music industry was changing in a big way due to the internet and sites like Napster.

It was then that I remembered an idea that I’d had ten years ago: to write a book about how to be a strip club DJ. I did a little checking and was surprised to find that not one book had been written on the subject. I also recalled how much I’d enjoyed teaching other people to DJ. So, I started working on the book right away.

In writing the book, I tried to think of every single question someone just starting out would ask and what they’d need to know to get started and, more importantly, what they’d need to move into the better paying clubs. I also tried to include as much information as I could about how to deal with the people you’ll encounter in the clubs: the dancers, the managers, the customers and even other DJ’s.

Every working DJ that I’ve show the book to has said the same thing. They wish they had a book like this when they started out. Fortunately for you, this information is now available to you for the first time anywhere. You’ll learn not only what I spent several years learning, you’ll be able to avoid some of the mistakes that I made along the way.

More info on Bill’s eBook is available on
his book’s site

Danny your book is a brilliant concept and leaves nothing out, it is a step by step bible to the aspiring DJ. I have DJ’d for many years and am always looking for tricks and tips to improve my sets.

- Camilo Antoria (URUGUAY)

‘Hi Danny,
I have been DJing for nearly 15yrs and before that and during I have always been a professional musician. (A Drummer to be precise). I just happened to be online buying some tunes when I saw your ad for your book on how to DJ. I kind of bought on a whim thinking it might be cool to see another DJs angle on things. Little did I know I’d be in for a LIFE CHANGING experience. Thoughts Ideas and attitude of this book go far beyond the realms of DJing and was the catalyst for the change that’s going on in my life right now. Sorry if that sounds dramatic but that is how it is. Thanks Danny all the best and best of luck with everything’

Ian Jones “KILLMeDJ”

‘Wassup Danny,
Since reading the booked I moved from Ireland to London I am now able to support myself just from DJing no getting up early and going to work in the cold I get paid to party I have four residencies now and have also attend a Ministry Of Sound DJ Academy which helped me alot and I will now be playing in Ministry on the 14TH of March with my idol Erick Morillo this is without a doubt the biggest achievement to date none of this WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT THE BOOK!

-SHANE FITZPATRICK DJ NAME SHAZZA (UK)

‘Hi Danny,
I was able to read How To DJ Properly book and have to say that your is even better. More info, more knowledge. I am dj for about 6 years in my opinion it is always time to update even basic infos. I like to read such things.

- dj spoon aka OneManArmy’ (POLAND)

‘Hi Danny,
When i started in 2000 I had literally no clue what I was doing. Mobile DJing was a bit of fun on the side, it wasn’t until I got ahold of the internet and discovered all these other DJs doing things I could only dream of. My first impressions of DJing came from Tiesto and Arman Van Burren. Seeing them play to thousands was life changing.

Whilst i was happy entertaining weddings and birthdays, there was always a drive to do better. So in the forth-coming years I spent every minute I could trying to borrow a friends internet, goto the local library, etc just to get more information, to learn what others knew. After many set backs and many achievements (a festival and traveling overseas to play in China) I’ve now come to an impasse. No jobs going, and all the residencies locked down by other DJs, made life here quiet hard to live.

But after stumbling across this ebook (and with others like The Secret) I have started to train my habits, thoughts, and actions to be better, to learn more and grow with every day. The words from Danny in the ebook towards the end are quite literally moving, heart-felt and sincere. You can appreciate that the man has been-there-done-that, and he’s just spreading the wealth of knowledge he has.

Truly now is the best time to start becoming a DJ or even to re-hash on the talents you might always have. This book will definatley open your eyes a bit wider and maybe even introduce you to ideas you hadn’t even thought of yet. I look forward to the updates and highly suggest that you invest in your future. “Money is nothing when you trade it for the wealth of knowledge”.

Cheers Danny, Luke Langley aka. Luke Electrik (AUSTRALIA)
