Great video! If I may share, my biggest mistake was caring too much what other DJs think. If you’re doing it to fit in, you won’t come up with something unique to offer. Be yourself and mix the way YOU want to because nobody else can be YOU. Thanks Carlo for allowing me this Ted Talk.

mistake 6 is definitely often overlooked. Track selection is one of the most fun things too do as DJ, let the people get to know new and older great music. I love too find tracks that people ask track ID's for, than you know you might have found someone's next favorite song :)

I used to play live music professionally and when I started running my band's setlists like a DJ would with rises, falls, blending songs/mashups, etc. the band REALLY took off! Then when I started to learn how to DJ I brought over some of my live music experience which has helped me with composing my sets, being musical in my mixes, etc.etc. Just an interesting observation that I played live music like a DJ and DJ'd like a musician!

One mistake that i made on one of my first bookings is bringing an SD card instead of a flash drive. i got booked to play this big field festival. I was really excited and i practiced every day on my computer until my controller stopped working. At this point, I didnt have money to replace it and the show was a couple days away. I couldnt find my flash drive so i took an SD card and loaded a bunch of songs onto it. No analysis or ID3 tags. just drag and drop from the folder to the SD. When it came time for my set, I plugged in my SD card and nothing worked. The CDJs didnt even see the songs on the card. I ended up not being able to play and not getting paid. Moral of the story is; never bring an SD card to a flash card fight and ALWAYS make sure your tracks are analyzed.

Best to showcase what's right vs what's wrong!
Great video as always. I started DJing when i was 15 (8 years ago) And I was getting paid by 17. Best tips I have for everyone are these (Do keep in mind soem tips will differ on the branche you end up working in): - Track selection is way more important than your skills (especially when playing at party's, bars, clubs). Because people will most likely be smashed and won't notice your amazing in key harmonic transition whilst looping a 3rd track to add suspense. They just want to sing along to their favorite song ;). Offcourse other branches (recently I started doing alot of techno parties at local clubs, festivals and some raves) mixing is equally important, since people than come for the smoothness of the mix. - Want to play at venue's? Have big balls and a big mouth. As you say content is important, but local bars will most likely not care about your local tiktok following. Talk to people who work there, sent a mix via soundcloud or ask if you can play and hour or so on a friday night. And don't lose hope! Took me a while but eventually it worked and I became a resident for a while (Covid made me stop for a while) - Make sure people know you play and know how to contact you after playing somewhere. Word of mouth is good. But people who liked you playing somewhere will maybe want to hire you aswell. - Drive in-shows are a good way to start off in my opinion. Still do it on the side! Make a website advertising for DJ INSERT CITY and perhaps people will contact you. - GET HQ MUSIC!!!!

Mistake #11: Thinking it's about you. Leave your ego at the door. It's about the music and the crowd having a good time and dancing until their legs fall off. If you want to make it about you, don't do it at the club, do it at a battle. :)

Good advices, even if that KEY feature would go into the lazy part from my point of view. I feel choosing tracks should be done by hear and by heart, not by a software. Sometimes putting two tracks that aren't really in tunes can make astonishing and nice results (especially in harder styles like techno and rave music where you can really enjoy combining tracks together during several minutes and just playing with them, creating a new thing out of it). It's about trying them together, making tests and getting surprised by the beauty of what you hear. This is what makes DJing so beautiful.

And the key difference between Lazy Amateur DJs and Robust Professional DJs is this: How do you wish to tell a story or play your performance in audio/music format? Where do you want to start, go through or weave in the middle, and end your story/performance?? This is the same concept I use for filmmaking as well a animation. How do you want to begin, begin-middle, middle, middle-end, and how to end of the story/performance/Gig. Because the middle is where the meat and potatoes is at, while the beginning and end are dessert and appetizers for the guests listening to the songs.

cant stand key-mixing. takes the fun/heart/experience out of picking tracks IMHO. We never knew what the keys were when playing records (or CDs), and you know what, the mixing sounded perfect still....
I'm a DJ and I usually get booked maybe twice to three times a month (once every other week, each month) which works perfectly for my lifestyle. But Mistake 8 is one that I've really had to come to terms with! Let's face it; skill (well depending on where you're wanting to play) isn't the main thing that gets folks booked. It's track selection, connections, likeability, and marketability. A "DJ's DJ" is a pretty niche thing and a lot of us DJs need to get over it! That's why I've tried to focus more on making mixes for local online radio stations and even making them for events for promo--it's really helped me grow my exposure and get more frequent bookings. As we've entered a time where literally anyone who can pick up a pair of decks is a DJ, I think what sets you apart now is what you do on your downtime and what other skills you can improve or use, just as you said. That said I love your videos man! I've been watching them ever since I started and you do great work to really teach people.
