That Time of the Year Again

Usually this time of your year i get gigs right after another. Its been this way every year since if been DJing. From the summer BBQ starting and the graduation parties this is a good month or two for me. Already this month i have 4 gigs, one ever weekend. When i get a gig or a call from somebody that is interested in hiring a DJ i right away get my book out. i have a little black book that I got about years ago to help me keep track of gig and peoples information. In times like this during the year, I go nuts I'm so busy , but I learn to keep everything organized. its very important that when u takes somebody information down for a gig that u have the times right, the location right, the name of the person who's hosting the party, as well as who its for. Losing these things and this information wouldn't be good for business Also I'm friends with other DJs and DJ company's and they give me gigs to if there unable to do them, like this month they gave me a 30th birthday party that was on the same day as another big gig that that had. last year i also handed out flayer's to high school kids hoping the get some more business doing graduation gigs. This really helped last year so I'm going to continue to do it this year. I'm looking forward to the gig i have lined up for this month and hope everything goes as plan lol

New Music

Some people thing being a DJ is that you just have to go to a party and play music and that's it. People think its easy money. Well what people don't know if that DJs have to do a lot of work outside there gigs too. I would that that I have come up with a routine that makes me make sure that I'm getting the top hit songs when they come out. If a DJ goes to a gig and doesn't have the top hit songs that people wants to hear a lot of people are gonna be mad and not happy. So what I do it every week I check a number of things to see what new songs came out that week. I make a list then before a gig or before quizzo I get the songs. What really helps me to know what songs are on top is "Billboard Top Charts". I go on Billboard just about once a week and see what the top 10 or 20 songs are and i make sure that i have them. Also I have a App. on my phone that when a song is played on the radio is can listen to it and tell me what the song is.. Id the song and save it for me. I use this a lot of I'm in the car or out and anew song or a song that i never heard of before is playing ill use my phone save the name then at the end of the week get all the songs that are in the library. Over all its very Important to stay up to date with today's top hits, the best way to to come up with a routine like I did, because if you think about it, theirs always going to be new songs.

Scratching

Scratching is something that some DJs thing that if u cant do then you shouldn't call your self a DJ. In today's world with all of the new songs and new ways to mix music and make it your own, knowing how to scratch is a must. Iv been DJing for years now and I can do it but i wouldn't say I'm great at it. The first things that you have to know is the times of songs and when to do it. I would say that's the most important thing when it comes to scratching. theirs a couple different ways to scratch but all have the same importance with times. To start your going to need to turntables ( digital or vinyl ) to scratch on. the easyest way to lear is to load up a song that has a lot of high vocals and one side and play a song on the other. while your song is playing u have to use the crossfader and sractch the other turntable and move the coss fader back and forth.. soo when happendes is that while the songs playing your moveing the cross fader so that bother songs and playing but your scratch ing the high vocals over the song. this is the easyest way to learn I think. Once you have the cross fader down and how to scratch, then you hould start to try to get timeing right only scratch in the times thats needed or that would sound good and start to scratch faster or slower in one scratch. i know it sounds hard but once u get used to it and know some moves u can do with your hadn it can be really great sounding.

Now a lot of the famuse DJs today they scratch a song while its playing to loopit and to play diffrent parts of songs at the same time. Me, I'm not very good at this. This takes a lot of time to master and you have to really knnow your music and whats goign to play and when. Say you are playing a song that starts with a beat. You start the songs spinning. then you cue up a nother song that has a vocel in it. What you do it while the beat is playing on one song u rewind the other turntable to repate the vocle in perfect timesing with the beat. Like I said this is really hard but very cool sounding and fun to do.

Speakers

Being a DJ for a good bit of time now really made me realize the difference in sound due to different speakers or if there feedback or with mics. When I first stated i had really bad old speakers, I'll say the only good thing about them was that they worked lol. As my business got bigger and i began to do it more i had to get a better speaker system. After going through a bunch of different speakers and subs I finally bought the "Martrix B-52" system. What I like about this system the most is that everything was in the package. It was a combo pack. The system came with a 15 in. sub and two 12 in. combo speakers that plugged into he sub to the amp then from there went right to my computer or Mixer. For medium size halls and pool parties and all these were great speakers, and to this day i think that there once of the best sounding speakers out there.

About 2 years after that I had some extra cash and i thought that I should improve that sound of the system even more. I looked into combo speakers that had amps in them, individually. After spending 800, 400 each speaker, I bought two 12 in. 2 way combo power speakers. Now when I go on gigs running 3 amps at once, one in the sub and one in each speaker, I can have up to 4 speakers and sub going all at once with no feedback at all. Lets just say that it the system can get very loud and really kick lol

Innovations Vol. 1

This past summer I thought it would be cool to make my own Mix CD. Like a lot of the DJs that I listened to they would have there own mix CDs like say "Ultra Dance 01 Mixed by DJ Richy Rich" or something like that, so I wanted to see what I could do. So I started to come up with ideas. The first thing I wanted to figure out is what I was going to call the CD. I wrote some things down and looked some words up and I came up with the Name "Innovations Vol. 1". I picked this because the word innovations mean new things and new things coming to be invented. or something like that.

After I had the name the next step was to pick the song that I was going to mix together to make up the CD. This is probably what I took the longest with. I really wanted to pick a good mix of different but popular songs that people would attract to. In the end I came up with about 13 songs that I wanted to use, some were dance remixes that I was excited to use in the CD. Once I figured out how to arrange the songs in the Order that I wanted I knew is was time to go to my DJ hardware and start to figure out how I was going to mix them together to make my mix CD.

I practices using The NS7 and the Itch program to mix the songs. I remember working on it for hours and hours at a time. Once i was done mixing the songs together I began to add DJ samples and drops. Things like a beat sample that was needed in between two songs or a rev. crash that I used to make things a little bit more exciting. Once the end project was done after going back and fixing it even better then before like 5 times it came out really good.

Once I was done making the CD and the audio part of the CD. I start to make designs in photo shop of what I wanted the cover of the CD to look like. For me this was Farly easy. I had a picture in my head of exactly what I wanted the CD to look like. When I was done everything I began to make copies and hand my first Mix CD out. I learned quick that people really liked the CD, especially the remixed that I made on the album.

Chairman of the Board

Frank Sinatra is probably one of the greatest male artists of all time. He sung all across the US. From Vegas to Atlantic City Sinatra was well knows and had his own way for people to like him. He had a voice of his own. I honestly think no one can replace him or his songs. The greatest part of Sinatra is he is from good old, our home state of New Jersey. He was called old blue eyes. I would say that my favorite hit of his was, My Way. It’s a song about a man who is nearing death. He is comfortable with and takes responsibility for how he dealt with all the twists of his life while maintaining a respectable degree of honor. At least that's what i get out of the great song.

Singalong Songs

Usually when I have a gig, I play what I like to call blocks of music throwout the gig. 9 times out of 10 at the very end of the night i play play block of "singalong songs", usually about three songs. Now I chose these songs from what kind of party it is or what kinda of people are at the party. I know that iv picked the right songs when I hear everybody singing alone. Most of the time one of the songs I play is "Don't Stop Believing", by Journey. When people hear this song they go nuts. It amazes me that the song is from the 80s and still today have a Hugh in pack on people and how much they love it. Another big song that most people like and singalong to is "Livin On a Prayer" by Bon Jovi. People really do go nuts over that song, its a feel good song and one of the best songs to singalong to. If the party is a little bit older party and theres a lot of older people there then I might play "Sweet Caroline" and see if people get excited and sing along to that. Like I said before I usually play these songs at the very end of the party. I'll play 2 or 3 sing along songs then I have to closer songs. I most of the time play "Last Dance" and that's a way that people and the hall knows that its the last song for the night. Another song that I close with sometimes is "Save Tonight", I play this is I'm doing a like younger crowed party. Over all the block of "Singalong Songs" is one of the most important blacks of the night. You want to make people smile and happy and sing along. It shows that there having a good time and that there going to leave on a good note.

Dance / Trance Music

from when i was a kid my favorite kinda music was Dance music. I remember when i was very young going out with my older cuz, riding in his car, he would always have on 90s dance music. I remember getting my first dance music CD, Eiffel 65. From there on i couldn't stop listening to dance music. once i got a little bit older i started to listen to more and more dance music and different kinds. When i was in high school i started to really get into Trance music. Trance music is a kind of music basically all done with electronics and on computers. Its a lot of beats and synth and key pads. I loved it so much i made it a big part of my life and it still is today. it motivated me to become a DJ and to produce my own music. Some of my friends tell me, "what is this stuff that you listen to". In fact iv only meet a number of people that like that kind of music. For me trance music is not just music its a state of mind. I think that the reason that they call it trance music is because it almost puts you in a trance and takes u some place else. I learned that some people also call it the natural high music. One of my favorite groups are called "Above & Beyond".. i could listen o this guys for hours. so yea if u get a change look up some trance music artist. and give it a chance u might like it.

lighting

Another important thing about DJing to give the audience a club feel and to get them to get up to dance is to have lighting. When I first started I didn’t have any light but when I get the money up to buy a light or two I noticed a difference in the people’s reaction to my gigs. Now when I say lights I mean like disco balls and moon lights and lasers and all. For the past year now I’ve been using a number of different lights. I have a lighting pole that that hangs over my DJ table where the lights hang from. I have a disco ball that spins, a different color moon light that spins with the music and a couple other lights. I also have a fog machine that I use for some on my gigs when it’s necessary. When I usually do is if a gig wants lights, when I first get there I play music that’s kind of slow and good for when people are eating dinner. After everybody is done dinner I usually make my MC make an announcement, that were going to start the dance music now and we want to see everybody dancing. That’s when the house lights go out and my DJ lights turn on. People usually go nuts and really feel that the party is starting. Using DJ lights really attracts to people that u know how to make your audience happy and leave smiling. If you have been DJing for a while now and want to bring it to the next level put some money into getting some club lights.

70's

Oldies music is great. It is nothing like today’s loud and hip hop feel. 70’s music had its own individual feel to music. Every artist had a different feel to it. Some but there soul and feelings into their songs. Some had vibe and funk. I personally like Earth, Wind, and Fire because of how they combined the band and brass feel with their funk. They have had many songs used in various movies and events across the United States. One of my favorites by them is September. When I'm DJing a party some people wont get up to dance until they hear an 70's song or a disco song. Still today people love to dance to music from the great decade.

Big Gig

This weekend i have a big gig. I'm going up to TCNJ college. I have a friend that goes there that's in a comity serves club/sorority thing and he got me this gig for me. Its a formal/ prom dinner and dance party. As far as i know theirs going to be close to 180 people there in a big hall lol i also got to bring all of my DJ lights and my fog machines. before hand during this week i made a mix that I'm gonna play when everybody is done eating and is ready to dance. these kind of gig i really like DJing because most of the people and teenagers really dance and enjoy the music. Also I like to see everybody dressed up in suits and dresses, even me lol Im just a little nervous because if i do well then the schools going to give me more gigs witch would be great. I'm sure that it will be a awesome gig and everything will go as planed lol I'll let u know!

The Art of a MC

Being a good DJ great and will get u far but to really give a great performance that the people will walk out remembering you is to have or be a great MC. MCing is just about as important as the DJ and has to do a lot of the same things but as the same time different things to. Iv been DJing for a while now but when i got a MC that knew what they were doing and knew how to work the crowd i started to get a lot more gigs and more respect.

To be a good MC u have to be well spoken and very out going and be able to think quick off your feet for what to say. When I DJ I usually start my gigs out with my MC saying some words welcoming the people to be there and announcing the celebration. You want to have somebody that has a good acting voice that sounds very out going and that sounds like there very involved into the party. You don't want somebody that's going to talk like this...

"welcome to the 2008 prom of WTHS, enjoy the music and have a good time, thanks"...

That sounds like there about to go to jail and that their not happy to be there. You want a something like this....

" heyy yoooo WTHS!! hows everybody doing to nighttt?! wel like to welcome you guys and were ready to have a good time, I know you guys are!.. alright now come on i want to see everybody on the dance floor!, here we goo"

that's the kinda sound You want. Trust me when i say that you'll realized that you are gonna need a MC more then u think. It does make a difference and it does keep the people involved.

The Gaga In packed

Today's music has really become something that has a big in packed on the clubs and people. My favorite kind of music has always been dance and trance and club music and i feel that club music has really blown up the past couple years.

One of the most respectful artist that started this i feel was Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga was born in 1986 and if from New York. These past couple years she has blown up the dance club world with a number of Hugh hits, Just Dance, Poker face, Monster, and many more. When I look at lady gaga I can see a start and reminds me of how Madonna was. I also respect her very much because I learned that she is also the producer of her music. all of the synth pads and electric pianos that are in her songs and all written by her. When i play a Gaga song my crowds go nuts. Shes got such a unique sound that just make people want to get up and "just dance". If Lady Gaga did start to move dance and club music back to the top of the charts then a lot of other artist albums wouldn't be as successful like The Black Eye Peas , or Akon. I feel that she is amazingly talented and we will see a lot more from this unique artist.

Numark NS7

For a DJ the equipment you have is very important. the Better equipment u have and know how to use the better performance u give. For about a year now iv had the "Numark NS7" mater controller. I bought there the week it came out. The "NS7" acts as a controlling devise for a program called "Itch" that you run from your computer. Whats good about the NS7 that i liked the most about it is that everything is there for u and together in just one piece. You have your two turntables on the left and right and a mixer in the middle with a amplifier built in, everything is built together in one piece.

Now what i mean when i say controller. is that what this does is "controls" the digital Waves of music from your computer. You plug is right in to your computer and use Itch as the program and u can sat load the songs to either turntable (aka CUE the song) when u load a song to the NS7 now your able to scratch, loop, hot cue, or even have tempo and pitch control to customise your music as you wish. With the real feel of the vinyl turntable is really does feel like your spinning records. Iv had the NS7 for about a year now I feel its the best thing I put my money into. Its a little pricey but its worth it. Theirs no separate pieces and its easy to take around. for a basic gigs at a pool party or a BBQ this is what I recommend to use.

Weddings

one of the most hardest gig that I have to do are weddings. For the first 2 years I didn't do weddings, but then I learned and got conformable doing them. I feel theirs the most important gigs that a DJ has to do because its a very important day that your audience should not forget. Also for Weddings everything has to be right, the time u get there, the music that they want to be played, the names of everybody that's announced. Its a lot of pressure but you learn how to deal with it.

If your gonna be DJing a wedding. It's not just getting up there and playing music. First of all before hand I get pad and paper and get the names of all the people that are in the wedding. This is for if they wont there names to be announced when they walk in or for special songs they want played and to be dedicated to. That's also y its important to have a very good MC with you so they can do all of the talking on the mic while you are taking care of the music. Sec. you have to find out what the bride and grooms song is. that needs to be a very special time for them and You have to give that feeling with the way its announced and the lights and all.

basically the best way to put it is that everything has to be on key and perfect for the People at that celebration. Once you get conformable and u have a understanding of doing weddings there a lot of fun and very good money!

Mixing

For more advance Djs mixing is a big part of their performance. DJs that are famous are known for there mixing skills and how unique they are. To mix and do it well you have to know a lot about the music that your playing and the feel you are trying to give to your crowed.

The most important thing, i think when it comes to mixing is the BPMs of a song, (Beats Per Minuet). This marks of where the beat hits in the song, usually its when the bass drum kicks or when the snare gets hit. Every song has a BPM number. if its a fast song its high like 145 or 160. If its a slow song its low like 80 or 90. This is so important that because when your mixing two songs together or mesh ups the BPM have to be the same and aligned or your musics gonna be all over the place.

Another important tool u have to know is how to sync music to match the BPM. Syncing music is done a couple different ways depending on the hardware or solfware your using. What syncing esacly dose is moves the beats of one song to match the other. Now when u sync a song to match another sometimes the pitch changes. Programs are different with how much it effects your sound. What u don't want to do it try to mix a song with to far BPM numbers, like a song that's 95BPM to a song that's 139 BPM. What will happened is that your slower song will speed up and it will be way to fast and sound like the chipmunks are singing it lol, and with the faster song it will slow down so much it sounds like its playing in slow motion.

This is a nice and smooth mixing transitions, ill walk you thou it. Say were mixing " lets get it started" by Black Eye Peas (105 BPM) to "Senorita" by Justin Timberlake (98 BPM). when i see that theres about 40 or 30 sec left in lets get it started ill listen in my headphones to Senorita and hit the Sync button to change the BPM to 105 to match lets get it started. then I move the turn table to aline the beats the I hear in the head phone and whats playing out the system. when theres about 15 or 10 sec left in the first song I slowly start to move the crossfader over to Senorita as it gets louder, let get it started gets lower. then I find a brake point and when the first song it so low I cut it off.

that's the basics of Mixing really. Once u get good and fast then u can start to use sample beats to mix or DJ drops or hits, but that's for another time! lol

DJing parties

DJing is not as easy as people think. It doesn't just consists of standing up and playing music in from of a crowed. To DJ well and make people like you and want to hire you again, it takes a lot more then that. first of all when u get the gig u have to know what kinda party they want. For instance, if the parties and dinner party or a business party then u would play chill music and music that fits that acation. Now if they want it to be a dance party or celebration theme party then i would play dance music and bring light, and not just DJ for them but perform.

when i get to a gig the first thing i do is look and see what kinda people are in the crowed. If its older people or more of a younger crowed or a mixture of both. The first the first song i play something that's really good and catchy but not to fast or loud. I play it at about 3/4 volume that I'm gonna be playing for the rest of the night. Ill continue playing these kind of popular chill songs and if i see that most of the party is here or they aren't that into the music, ill play something a little fast and louder.

After about 15 min. when i see that nobody else in coming in and people are done eating or are ready to get up and dance. ill make my MC (MC Prev) make an anuchment saying something like this..

"how are you guys doing tonight, were glad to be here, now I know you guys are wanting to dance right!. Were gonna pump up the music now and i better see all u guys on the dance floor!"

I would play a dance song weather its a rap/ hip hop dance song or a line dance song, considering the kinda people in the crowed. Ill keep the music loud and pumping of dance music. Then if there's a mix of ages there ill slowly transition into older dance music or more popular dance music. I have special songs that I can Transition songs that I know younger people like them as well as the old. I'll play two of these for a nice transition after a block of music.

If the crowed is willing I usually try to play one slow songs before the end of the night. for the last couple songs I like to play song that everybody loves and can sing alone too. i always cranked the volume up for the last song and give a big finish. And trust me if feels good seeing the smiles of the peoples faces when they walk out the door! that's DJ Scuilli

advertising

Advertising is a big part of why my business is a success. when your a DJ its almost like your a salesman and the product that your trying to see is your performance. After a gig is done and you see people walking out of there with smiles on their faces then most likely you did a good job. in this business a lot of wrapped around politics or popularity. If you do a good gig at one show then the people that hied you will move your name on to a friend or family member. there is a family that i started DJing their sweet sixteen party and now I do all there parties for all their accusations as well as all there cousins. the more gigs you do well the more gig you'll get.

Now like I said in my past blogs I also have a facebook and myspace and youtube accounts that also help get my name out there, as well as to advertise for Quizzo too. I have a friend that i pay from time to time to look over the sites and do all the wording of my posts and also all my HTML work. when you log onto my myspace it says something like this....

"John Scuilli a.k.a. DJ Scuilli, provides the hottest music and entertainment for you own personal, privet parties, Specie occasions, and family celebrations. With a variety of all kinda of music, DJ scuilli will satisfy your music needs only by playing the best music!! along side DJ Scuilli, his MC, MC Prev will make it a night u never forget!!"

QUIZZO!!

this past year iv been not only DJing but i have been doing Quizzo for two of the Applebees locations. iv been doing it for a about a year and its grown to be quite successful and popular. it also has really helped my DJing business.

last year around this time, Easter or so, my brother had a friend that worked at Applebees as one of the night time managers. he told me brother that they were looking to bring more crowd in during the week at night, really wanted to bar seen to build up. He also told my brother that they are looking for a DJ to play music and do Quizzo for about 3 hours at the end of the night. he asked if I was able to do that. when i first heard about DJing there i was all about it but when i heard that we had to do Quizzo too i was a little nerves. I've never done anything with trivia before and i wasn't sure if i could do it.

Well about a week later i talked to my MC and we figured out a way for us to do it. he would say the questions and take care of the scoring and i would do the music and controlling the volume up and down. about a day after me and him talked i started to make rule sheets up and score cards. i did a lot of research and really looked into how other bars are doing quizzo and i took a little from everyone and made up my own rules.

the way that the game is played like this. Theirs three rounds, each round has 10 questions that are worth 10 points and a bonus question at the end of each round worth 25 points. At the end of each round each team has to hand in there score card for that round and we tally up the points and the winner of that round gets prizes and a gift card. Each night at the end of the game the team with the most points from all the rounds put together wins and even bigger gift card and a shirt.

when we first started people didn't really know about it and it wasn't a big thing, but now that we have gotten better at it and have more stuff like bonus questions and double questions it has really become a fun night. just now we are starting to have themed nights. last month we did a 80s night. It was a Hugh night for us. The Applebees store match there black Friday income in just 4 hours. next we are looking at a doing a 90s night or a disco night. I'm really proud of what we have made it to be and I'm looking forward to seeing how did it becomes.

DJ Silence

what's up everybody?!
so i told u guys about how i got started DJing and my first gig. So now on this blog ill tell u how i became to be the DJ i am today.like i said before i started DJing my freshman year of high school. My first gig was a sweet 16 party. I don,t know how i did it but i DJed by mixing between two iPods.

From that gig till now iv made and grow a pretty well off business. after that sweet 16 gig i bought my self some cheep but nice equipment and started to do other gigs. i was starting to expand and started to get to know more and more people. the end of my sophomore year of high school a friend of mine asked me to come up to Rider University where he goes to school to do a dance show over their radio. For me that was a big thing at the time and i was really excited. we made the radio studio like a club and blasted the music over the radio. We had lights going strobes and all. during that show one other DJ that was already there was calling me DJ Silence, i guess because i didn't really talk much. So from that gig the name stuck with me, DJ Silence

when i graduate high school it was well known around my town and school. i learned that it was time to take it to the next level. I wanted to learn how to use turntables and mix my music and make mix taps and remix songs. i got more and more into this and i saved up money and bought my self digital turntables. this opened up and hole new kinda a DJing for me. from then my DJing has blown up. i starting making mix CDs and gave them out, I invested money into hiring a MC. i started to have gig almost every week. At this time is when i changed my DJ name from to DJ Silence to DJ Scuilli, my last name

now today I DJ for applebee's doing Quizzo and playing music for them doing the week at a number of locations. I also have a Score keeper that works for me as well as a MC. I have a facebook, myspace, twitter, and youtube accounts. I'm very proud of what my business has become and I'm looking forward to whats next.

DJ Scuilli's Start...

thanks to all who commented. I'm glad u guys are gonna follow me and listen lol

I thought it would be cool to tell you guys how i started DJing and how i got so much into music.

when i was a growing up music was a big part of my life. my grandfather love frank Sinatra and he would always blast his music almost ever time i was over his house. at home my dad was really into Disco and artist like the Bee Gees and Earth Wind and Fire. he would always be having parties and playing disco thour out the house.i remember when i was around 8 or 9 years old i used to hang out a lot with my older cousin, and every time i was wit him or in the car with him he would always have on 90s dance music, i loved it. i remember songs that i used to listen to over and over again like "What Is love" by Haddaway, or "Another Night" by Real McCoy. that is when i really started to like dance music. when i was a couple years older i got real good with the computer and i started to download music on Napster at the time. I used to download so much music that i used to keep it on all day, i was starting to build my DJ library of music.

When i was in Middle School i became real close to the school Librarian and he used to always talk about how he was a DJ and the gigs he would have. i really looked up to him and we got so close that he asked me to come to a gig with him and help him just carry things and stuff like that. I remmeber that that was the first time i really seem a Dj in action. He had touns and touns of CDs and really big speakers and lots of DJ lights. From that day i knew that i really wanted to do that it looked like a lof of fun lol

a year after that my freshman year of highschool i had a friend that was having a Sweet Sixteen party and her DJ didnt show up at her party, so i said to her i could play you guys music and i got tow Ipods and used really old like floor spearkers and i used a Boombox as like a resever that the Ipods ran thor and i mixed between the Ipods.
