L2 PODIO #130

What a ’round number’! LIGHTWORKS 30 and PODIO #130. ;) With this month’s LIGHTWORKS we didn’t only break ONE record, no, we broke TWO (as far as I’m not wrong):

  • Record #1: 2067 listeners(1)
  • Record #2: The biggest thread on the friskyForum board on a show ever?(2)

This show was the greatest fun ever, not only because of those (really not too important) records above, but because of YOU - the fans and the feedback (the artist’s ‘bread’) - and the awesome DJ’s I welcomed as my guests on the show.

So, I’m proud and happy to present you the show on the PODIO now! I know you’ve been waiting for this:

Have fun, CU next month! 8-)

  1. Personal LIGHTWORKS record which is pretty 100% sure. Well, it’s not the friskyRadio alltime record, but it’s only July 2008 now … ;) (back)
  2. I’m really not sure, Faisal, please help me on this one … (back)

Things some don’t know about DJing

DJing might look like an easy job. Sometimes I hear stuff like:

Hey, what’s so difficult about playing some music out?

Here’s why it’s a bit more than hitting a venue and playing music like average Joe could do:

  • Finding the right music: I receive around 400 to 600 promos from all kinds of labels and genres each month. I need to listen to them ALL to find MY music. 80% of it is crap, 10% supercrap, 5% good, 5% very good. I only play the 5% that I find very good. But there’s not only the work to listen to ALL the promos, there is also the browsing through the stores and it’s (mostly) crappy samples. BTW, I recommend Resonant Vibes and audiojelly. Beatport just in cases when I can’t find track XYZ elsewhere. Finding the right music is the most time eating thing of the job.
  • Sorting the right music: I label my tracks after genre, NOT by tagging but file name adding like Peter Parker - Spiderman Song (Vogelmann Remix) - PROG. Each and every genre has its own folder on my HD’s, both the studio system and the gig notebook, always in sync.
  • Touching the music: Each and every track gets slighty sound optimized by myself, like loudness correction or a bit of equalizing, I have my own scripts or batches for that processes. Each and every track gets key detected for harmonic mixing.

The above is the hidden part of my DJ job, not many people have an idea what that means. To be exact: it’s the most important part of the job because THIS IS WHAT MAKES YOU AN ARTIST under millions of DJ’s. Compare it to a painter, his colours, his brushes, his canvas and all that stuff. Then there’s his way of painting and this is the part when I’m going live.

Vogelmann Live

Let’s be honest: Beatmixing is not the hardest part of playing live. You have a bit of a rhythmic feeling? Okay, I’ll teach you in less than 2 weeks. But do you have the right ears, the right feeling for ‘what comes next’? Can you feel the audience? Is your sound right, EQing and all that stuff? When should you change the style a bit or the tempo? And what about your ‘acting role’ whilst DJing, do you have a charismatic aura or do you behave or look like an idiot? Don’t get me wrong, I find it very important to be authentic, but LIVE you’re not bedroom DJing.

A good DJ needs to be reliable with playing times and dates, needs to take care about his technical equipment and all that stuff, needs to find HIS style and satisfy HIS fans everytime he’s playing … I could write an endless list of other aspects of successful DJing. Just wanted to give you a glimpse of the background of things.

Tab Mix Plus for FF3

I recently had a problem with Javascript windows (onclick … window.open) in Firefox 3. I googled around a bit and discovered that beautiful plugin:

Tab Mix Plus Dev-Build 0.3.6.X-Tab Mix Plus
Tab Mix Plus Dev-Build 0.3.6.1.080406 Released (Older builds)

* Fixed: Muilt-row not working on Mac [FF3.0b5].
* Fixed: Mouse clicking options in TMP options not show the right settings.
* Added: Option to convert the sessions data from TMP format to use in Session Manager extension.

Endless setting options - which can be a nightmare, but in this case highly appreciated!

Capricorn

IMG_5288.jpg

[...] The basic Capricorn character is marked by a profound concern for advancing themselves by doing what is expected of them. They differ from the other Earth signs, Taurus and Virgo, in that they are motivated toward the achievement of their own ends, rather than toward merely static possessiveness or an endless search for order. They are governed by a sense of responsibility both to themselves and others. They absolve that responsibility by hard work and strict attention to detail. They have a direct and functional approach to problems. They are not diverted by fantasies of what might be done; they establish a clear picture of what can be done and the best way to go about doing it. Usually they pursue their objective along lines that have been found useful before, at least at the initial phase. However, should they see that their approach is not going to work, they resort to a new method. Very often the new method is one that comes as a surprise to others and may even cause a little nervousness. [...]

That’s me, yes. :D More to learn about me here: Capricorn

Talking about friends

When I talk about friends I have to mention Josh Abrams who stands very close to me. We’ve had great (but far too short) times together and rocked out like hell and such … 8-) he is a real party monster!

Josh will be my guest tonight on LIGHTWORKS. He resides in Las Vegas and is a full time DJ. His residency is www.pufflounge.com. That’s Josh in action:

I’m very happy to have Josh on the show tonight!

LIGHTWORKS 18

Ich höre gerade mein Weltrekord-12-Stunden-LIGHTWORKS-18-Set und muss sagen: Es ist die reine Weltklasse. Könnte ich mich selbst ficken, würde ich es tun. 8-)

Hier kostenlos downloaden. Vorsicht, sind 827 MB.

Ich sagte es irgendwann schonmal: Hätte ich den Bock und die Zeit, dann würde ich es im Guinness Buch der Rekorde eintragen lassen, denn es ist definitiv das längste Radio-DJ-Set, das jemals gesendet wurde.

Fast forward »
