to be "mobile DJ" is one of the best job in it, you can practice. Nevertheless, from this job but does not by itself give you a little insight to and I tried the example of a wedding to describe a normal "Mobile DJ-day." You'll see that behind every good show a lot of work. Here we go! Once ahead of the usual procedure with tender, offer promise, preliminary discussion and preparation of the program is already passé especially for anstehnde celebration, today is the big day for Lutz and Lena in Passau!
you marry - and I may make the evening event from 18 clock musical. And thus begins the
Saturday for me first like any other Saturday and with sandwiches and subsequent extensive breakfast pick. But since I often must be on site early to set up my equipment with the least possible disruption to the guests, I start right after that to prepare and get my equipment from the storage room in the basement in order subsequently to pack in your car ..
How it should by the way my little faithful A-class (the ultimate pack mule) before it is packed with all kinds of lighting, speakers and DJ stuff that a party makes visual and audible only to the party.
And so does the whole light, speakers and DJ stuff in detail nicely spread out neatly in front of our house , before he disappears into the belly of my Baby-Benz. Even 'a whole lot of what you as a one-man show so drags with him .. And it was at this gig the large 15 "subwoofer, not even with the luggage :-)
And then - * * tahtah - as if by magic after 20 minutes is all gone in my little car. - ) Ok ok .. It already requires a good space allocation to bring all the stuff in and saw a passenger is a bit tight with out .. But nevertheless, everything is safely packed in there and then can begin the journey to yes. Wedding!
is arrived at the application first made contact partners identify around the building to unload and to speak. Cause as little disruption is absolutely mandatory. But clearly - when party and DJ in the same room, you come without some interference around bad drum.
Well - and when times as everything is on the following image is gone so just over an hour Loading dock-building initiatives. And then comes the big moment when the DJ takes over the reins:
from light, spot on and go with the best music for the audience's best! the way: The pram in the right foreground is not one of my DJ equipment base .. * Grin *
On the next screen you see in the middle of DJ-Mixer
Behringer DJX750 my transport case, before the small
Behringer monitor speakers MS16 and right of the picture in a special case built and firmly wired
M-Audio Xponent - such a brilliant part! Replaces perfectly every record player and CD player and also offers a lot of buttons and sliders to tinker from normal songs perfect mixes and remixes. Soooooo like that of the ambitious DJ ....
Also the laptop and the 19 "rack of the light control wanted to mix with on the picture .. Unfortunately the picture a bit blurry ..
Often I play a little lounge music at first, when the Guests still eating are - then later I get a bit more momentum in the booth with danceable sound for young and old (Fox, Waltz, Swing, Jive, etc, etc..) And then when on the road during the night to the older guests towards the hotel room are starting the big party! Then celebrate with all my Jukebox hergibt at best sound of the last 50 years - and that's a lot gaaaaaaanz! At some point, then drag the predominantly female guests from their shoes because their feet hurt from dancing already and by now the shop really cooks!
And as always, is on lovely ceremony it far too fast too late and the evening comes with beautiful love ballads and very often .. with a sea of sparklers end By now the point is reached where I distribute with the last Schmusesongs to all guests a "love spell" and with a happy smile on the face to bed chic. With so many of this spell has been stopped for a lifetime.
Oh - and before the evening ended, the DJ would then also in the standard wedding outfit on picture :-) May I introduce: DJ ToxicTwo
way now requires the following degradation almost as long as the building - but with the disadvantage that because then I'm usually very much more tired and I have before me the long way home :-( But for an evening out with satisfied guests take very much into account.
Sometimes you then have the good fortune that one of the hosts or the caterer with some food spending spree for the way home and in the best case, even a can Red Bull or coffee to go "as" eye-opener "on top of it packaged this way the home can be overcome early in the morning nor in any way and you fall eventually tired to bed -. but only after all the equipment from the small A-Class emptied and packed for the next event in the basement has
.. And so a normal day then goes after nearly 15 hours working to end .. currently at an average popular in Germany working day of 7.5 hours, the two working days or more at a time ;-)
I hope so many of us understand a little better now, but which surprisingly large time, technical and logistical effort is required to bring you a perfect and to offer high quality party. And perhaps this explains
blog entry a little bit more why we, as good and dedicated "Mobile DJ's" are less than 300 €-low-budget solution, as they offer you in your request certain offered by many competitors were.
quality has its price again .. But that's another issue and is of me on occasion in a separate blog entry space available.
