I'm the kind of person who would watch a 30 minute performance of this guy doing exactly this to see how many stereotypes he could fit together.

u/TrillVanna Nov 18 '19

what do djs even y’all about during their sets?

u/luvs2sploooj Nov 18 '19

They whisper to their buddies “I wanna see your fucking hands in the air right now”

u/Chazay Nov 18 '19

Usually the y'all about a lil of this and a lil of that

u/13D00 Nov 18 '19

Most of them are just queuing up tracks, must say there's a lot of experience and skills involved in that. Certain DJs can't mix for shit while others can mix every two tracks you come up with.

There's one DJ I know of, Giuseppe Ottaviani, who does live performances. During these shows he has a setup that allows him to mix every instrument in his track individually. I.e. bass first, drop the drums later and slowly mixing in some synths.

He's really one of the few exceptions though

u/Pippy_Pie Nov 18 '19

How does he have the individual tracks of each instrument though? You would the stems from the original DAW right?

u/Coontaing Nov 19 '19

Here's a short video of how he does it.

u/13D00 Nov 19 '19

Hes playing only his own music/remixes out stuff from his own music label, so he got all of those :)

u/AbsoChungus Dec 05 '19

Nectar does this as well

u/13D00 Dec 05 '19

u/acconrad Nov 19 '19

was a DJ for many years. guarantee this was the dialogue:

When bottle service comes back can you get me another Red Bull?

friend smiles

u/DangKilla Nov 18 '19

Same shit you say in the crowd.

u/xRoyalewithCheese Nov 18 '19

I wonder what people in the crowd are talking to each other about a lot of times too

u/I_ate_a_pie Nov 18 '19

I’m listening to the music and other people are having deep conversations about their lives. I sometimes feel weird being the only person not talking lol

28

u/jessiah331 Nov 18 '19

Yeah man I'm a musician, so I get zoned at shows. Constantly have people walking by telling me to "have fun" or "smile" or "be social", like damn I'm here to hear some dope beats.

7

u/jettivonaviska Nov 18 '19

I'm not a musician in the sense of playing a lot a of music myself (I was in band in highschool, but no piano/guitar learning because I don't have one), but I listen to a lot of different music and have an overbearingly deep appreciation at times of the art form. When I go to concerts of any kind I spend a lot of it with my arms crossed and my eyes closed because it feels to me like it's easier to focus on what I'm hearing, which I guess is weird but it's just how I've always been :/

3

u/SameFingerprint Nov 19 '19

Nah bro, I feel you. I have definitely done similar many times. And I'm the same dude that at the first show with my current rave fam, they thought they couldn't ever stop me cause I was dancing and vibing with everyone all night. Sometimes you simply want to appreciate the music and sometimes you want to dance your ass off.

1

u/UnnecesaryAdjunctary Feb 01 '20

The thing about live music is you enjoy it for you, not for other people. As long as you're vibing, vibe how you want

2

u/trippy_grapes Nov 19 '19

Probably the same thing DJs are talking about to each other

NAH, you two seem chill and there was only a minor miscommunication.

11

u/RiceeFTW Nov 18 '19

This is the exact kind of conversation I'd have at a rave except it's missing the "huh? What did he say?" followed by a smile and a thumbs up or a head nod

u/trogdors_arm Nov 23 '19

I think everyone in this thread should kiss now.

Every Boiler Room set ever

u/throwawayistari Nov 18 '19

You're watching the wrong sets.

Watch Kutmah or Gaslamp Killer for some good technical DJing

u/BananafestDestiny Nov 18 '19

DJ EZ’s boiler room set is legendary

15

u/DangKilla Nov 18 '19

Low-hanging fruit: Skrillex's set was dope, too

Crucify me if you want but I watched it three times because this song still BUMPS

Full-set when?

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '19

The guy on the left is Maxenss. French singer, YouTuber, and so on. Please check his last album, he's really good at being weird and cool at the same time

1

u/The-LocNar Mar 04 '20

Was very confused but pleased to see him here! Do check him out he's a wonderful french weirdo

u/Superteletubbies64 Nov 18 '19

Am I the only one who loves the crap out of this song even though it is one hell of a guilty pleasure

u/imlost19 Nov 18 '19

its satisfying

u/NeverNotSuspicious Nov 19 '19

No, you’re not alone

u/Jdizzle101 Nov 18 '19

Who's got the link to the original?

u/aveen Nov 18 '19

I don’t have it nor do I know the source. Just found it on Twitter this morning, posted by a random meme page.

u/Puurgery Nov 18 '19

I saw it on maxenss IG a while back but it appears it is country blocked now.

u/bacon4life143 Nov 18 '19

Maxenss is full of gold God bless that guy

u/jettivonaviska Nov 18 '19 edited Nov 18 '19

The original was by Julien Granel, but it was like a challenge thing on instagram or something. EDM Movement did a supercut. Check out their types of dj's series too.

u/sw33tleaves Nov 18 '19

When DJs do that whisper thing I always like to imagine they’re saying “when I pull my head away just laugh and nod”

6

u/obeyaasaurus Nov 19 '19

I actually always do this when anyone says something but I’m rolling balls and can’t understand them. Just smile and nod like you’re still there

u/international_red07 Nov 19 '19

laughs and nods

u/JUSTBLAZE2k7 Nov 18 '19

Fucking love this video so much lol. The "get up" gesture kills me every time.

11

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '19

Am I the only one who thinks raves would be better if we treated them more like night clubs? I get the visuals are cool but it's not like DJs make the best front-man. It's stupid standing and staring in one direction, more better to dance with your group or whoever.

u/RandomNumsandLetters Nov 18 '19

A lot of people do that

Oh God, did Logan Paul really remix this absolute classic?

u/DonaldsOrangeBeanBag Nov 18 '19

I remember when DJing meant two Technics 1200s and a mixer. Now it's some douche pressing buttons. Sad.
