A lot of DJs forget why party venues hire DJs. Its because DJs are entertainers.
Having a DJ in the room creates a better, more energetic feel to a room than having music play off of a juke box. This is a fact.
So if the DJ can create all this energy, why is it that so many DJs just look at their laptops like they are checking their email?
The best DJs, the ones that have the biggest following and the most loyal tribe are the ones that let loose and pump up the energy like the guy in this video.
Okay he might not look cool because he is a little older and his movements make it look like he’s having a seizure but he’s doing his best at being an entertainer. You should too!
Having great looking business cards just screams out a DJs professionalism to his or her clients, competitors and most importantly, the club owners and promoters.

Above all, DJs like you and I don’t have to spend money on professional designers, printers and fancy paper to produce great results that score DJ gigs!
On of the biggest DJ lessons that I came across when I was learning how to DJ is that these personal and professional methods of promoting yourself as a DJ are invaluable! Anyone can make a Disc Jockey business card, but here are some rules you should follow to get great results:
1) Your Disc Jockey business card must represent your entire Djing business and DJ personality through Read the rest of this entry »

Last night I treated some friends and took them to the grand opening of a brand new club here in our city. Despite there being a MASSIVE line up outside of the nighclub, we all rolled right past the line.
I love getting my friends into nightclubs and hooking them up with free drinks. If you want to be able to do things like this as a DJ, sign up for free DJ Training Videos by clicking HERE right now!
After the grand opening we headed to another nightclub where Superstar DJ Joachim Garraud from France was Djing. Again, getting my crew past the massive line wasn’t an issue.
I thought it was going to be a solid night out at the nightclub where I would groove while watching the DJ and talk with djs in training with aspiring DJs at the club. I didn’t expect anything out of the ordinary.
I ended up getting BLOWN away by the DJ show that Joachim put on. The guy busted out this piano guitar (a DJ keyboard that was hung around his neck like a guitar) and started jamming out on it while he was mixing!
The crowd went nuts. Its so simple but its creative, fun and it takes DJing and DJ training to a whole other level.
