I'm Kevin but most call me Keno aka DJ Keno. I have been interested in DJing from the age of 10 but did not get serious until 1998. At that time I was living in Japan and DJing in clubs and bars in Tokyo (Roppongi, Fussa, Yokohama, Shibuya just to name a few). I currently live in Maryland and left the club/bar DJ scene to pursue a venture in mobile DJing.
If you are looking for a DJ for your event you are in the right place. I'm an open format party DJ. If you have a wedding, birthday party, office party... I can provide the music entertainment and light show.
Stay tuned for more videos on this channel.

Thanks , it works
mine still doesn't work. I run Serato DJ pro 3.1.3 and my I tunes music doesn't show up. running Monterey too. I tunes show up but only music I've bought in I tunes after doing the update to 3.1.3 and Monterey.
Is your music library synced, meaning your music is across all of your devices? Un sync it and then reload your music so it’s not in the cloud but on a hard drive and see if that works.
Could you use autotune with this setup? If so, what would be the best way to implement autotune?
Thank you sooo much this helped out sooo much I was wondering what’s going on!!! You blessed me forever now 🙏🏻
It didnt work for me! I managed to get my itunes to pop up on the side bar with the playlist titles but the music wont populate. It just shows my playlist titles but it won't show the songs within the playlists
Did you figure it out? I’m having the same issue
wow. i hate something like this could happen
I’m using serato dj lite and having same issue smh
Well, I am sorry I completely doubted you up until the very end when it actually worked. Thank you!
Wow,I know how you felt bro.
Thank You,Love your channel bro💯💯
Nice gig bro,Where did you get the laptop stand.
Thanks for stopping by. The guy who built my DJ booth included it as a package. However you can find it on Amazon. It’s made by Vivo www.amazon.com/VIVO-Single-Laptop-Notebook-Mount/dp/B0BHF9R2BH/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=1R30BQ49I0D4Z&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.sYyNr41-kW3ftAhZ3jxEhu4jBRWDZ3q2LCpzhMDeLVqh3lUOnlQnTf_IlfDATN-Thm8_Jldel1J6l-7u71l7QeB2WzFuZPin0a3pII2o36_AZx_ZwdtDtT-ph2xYKFQtUWoxQxIe5d02p07Assh5z__7XYzac-d_icGDbaOc5ybt-htHc0X_6tU7lim3wlzt5uYRWEk1TOYZP4I4daRIkA.Nv6Er0MPxDl4IV-ZOJSgFkR3ZGExJqiKDxyHtyncIdE&dib_tag=se&keywords=vivo%2Blaptop%2Bmount&qid=1717332801&sprefix=vivo%2Blap%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1&th=1
Huge dance floor
Not working for me
It worked first time out, second time no luck 😢
It worked THANK YOU so much !! Love that Your video is straight to the point no extra fluff! 😊
Great advice.
Hello what is the Name of the System
Hi, which system are you referring to?
What do you use to control you Both uplights and your gigbar?
The uplights (Both IR4) came with a remote control. The only downside is that the main light (Master) has to be close to operarte the lights with the remote. The Gigbar also came with a remote. The good thing is the remote for the gigbar works from anywhere in the room.
Yes, that is true. What I do is keep the master right near the dj booth. From there it should change all the lights when you use remote, even in a room that size. The master needs to be close to dj booth, just like your gig bar
The jazz in the background is not quite loud enough. We can still sort of hear you. Sorry about the issues.
Sorry about that, I will keep that in mind for the next video.
Is your usb cable in good condition? That’s the first thing I swap out when I have the same issues with Serato.
I believe so but for good practices I will but a new one. The issue happened once but has not happened again. However new cables is always a good option. Thanks
Worth but 200$ less, because for that 200$ You can buy 2x Innofader Mini Plus S to replace upfaders.
I hate to replace items. If I buy an item I want it to work without having to buy aftermarket parts.
@@EnormeSounds probably, but still in S7 or S11 better to change the cross and linefaders.
Loving your videos!!! Got to keep up with them firmware updates bro. That shutdown happen to my boy with his Rev 7. Those are more important than the Serato updates. Keep ginding!!!
I never thought of that. I will look into updating it. Thanks for the advice.
That sucks with the water, my dude. This is why I always have a backup PC with us. Also a tablet with MP3s on it. Djay is a good one to have on a tablet. I use it on my Samsung S6 for weddings. We have talked about stuff like this on The DJ Round Table Show.
You are right, I now have 2 computers and 2 cell phones with music. Got to keep the party going. Thanks.
This is great. Thanks for the knowledge
Thanks for stopping by.
....or pulled out a gun and take your s**t!!! It sounded like a setup to rob you. Never mind your reputation!!! If I were you bro, I'll invest in a kart or have someone stay by your car. I've had two deejays I know that had their car broken into and their equipment stolen because they left their equipment unintended.
You are right, it could have been a setup. However I felt comfortable because there were plenty people around, so a robbery in that situation would be crazy. However I never leave equipment unattended. Only going back/forth to the car loading and unloading which takes minutes. Also, if the area/party appears to be dangerous, I will just leave and give the client their money back.
In the 90’s we had to get bouncers to watch the car when loading after gigs. Mostly for record thief’s. But a lot of wild scams involving homeless as well. But bro you’re a grown ass man why did you play this game with them?!?!?!
Yeah, when working at clubs/bars there is always security/bouncers. However at private events, nobody pays for security. This business is like any other business. You got to play those games to keep customers happy and to secure future bookings.
Yo did way too much my guy. I would’ve been like get the hell out my face!
Facts!!!
You wore jeans to work a Sweet 16 party?
Every party is different. Some jeans are acceptable while others require you to wear a suit. You got to know your clients and the party and charge accordingly.
Curious what firmware version are you on w/Rev 7? Have never had that happen with mine.
That's a good question, I will check this weekend.
Gotta bring backup pants. Lol
Lol, you are right.
I have 4 backups when i dj, I have my main, my prime go, iPad with djsy pro ai, and last resort I have my phone, also have a set of battery power speakers as backup in case of power failure. you need an SSD drive for that laptop. or a new laptop that is why i change to Denon prime equipment, laptops are to sensitive
Thats great. I also have several forms of backup with include 2 computers, 2 cell phones with music, blutooth connection to a tablet. However that issue lasted probably 30 seconds. Not enough time to even switch over to a backup.
good info👍
Thanks for stopping by
Your controllwr was givibg me swcknd hand anxiety. Do you carry a backup controller? If not check out the Numark DJ 2 Go . Its a small portable mixer that will do in a pinch.
Yes, I had anxiety for the following few parties, however the issue never happened again. I do have several forms of backup but I only bring one controller.
Totally agree. The smaller the club , the bigger the party. As long as your customer has fun. Thanks for sharing.
Yiu are totally right. Thanks for stopping by.
I have watched a few videos of you now and for the most part you have a good video vlog going on. One suggestion, tidy up your cable management on your speakers. You just have them dangling. Use a zip tie to keep it streamlined to the pole. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the advice, I struggle with cable management, especially when time is of the essence. However, I'm getting better at it.
One of those bad days. I am happy to see kids enjoying and having fun.Nice djing
Most important thing is they had a good time although my time could have been better. Thanks for stopping by.
Nice work. If you run an external SSD HD it would help with serato load time. SSD's are faster than conventional harddrives.
You think so, I know SSD are faster but It appears to be Serato and not the harddrive. I will look into it. Thanks.
That’s pioneer for you it’s always glitches my homeboy Rev 7 be acting crazy at gigs sometimes I’ve never had that problem so far with my rain one but things happen sometimes this is why you have to make sure your laptop is top notch that’s the main connection to everything!
I agree with having a solid computer. I’m a Pioneer DJ fan but lately they have been letting me down. I might go with Rane going forward.
After purchasing the REV7, I also got the S7. Obviously the REV7 has a better up fader. Doesn't wobble. As you say, it's not worth the price. I think so. I feel like I was cheated because the up fader is not the same as the S11. I'm buying it for scratching. I also have Reloop ELITE and think it's great.
If you are a scratch DJ, get rid of pioneer. Rane will last longer. We pay too much money not to be able to use the faders (up faders) as we please.
@@EnormeSounds S7 and REV7 in my room. It's for practice. In the basement there is a Reloop ELITE for high volume. The S7 has a loud fader operation sound that discourages me. The later REV7 seems to have been improved and is quieter. I have a rane twelve, but the sound quality of scratches is inferior to phaseDj, so I'm skeptical about mixers. To master Scratch, you need a certain amount of money. I've been doing this for almost 40 years, although there were long breaks (lol)
No worse feeling than equipment malfunctions, and usually it's something simple😂
I totally agree. That’s why we buy high end equipment do it will work without glitches.
Peple keep critcing my way to play!!!!!! Old school always save me.!!!! Every time im about to star a party. Im crossing my fingers. I personal fase all those issues the you share in this video. That guime a little confidence tha im not the only one whit these situations. Thank you soooo much for sharng. And keep the exelent job the you do.
Thank for stopping by and trust me, you are not the only one. I see issues at events all of the time.
Nice party 😅 but I bet you using a iPhone 🤣😂
iPhone to record, yes
Loving all these gig logs, I’m going thru watching all of them! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for checking out my channel.
Nice vid really enjoyed it
Thanks for dropping by
Did Serato freeze or was it the rev 7, when the sound cut out?
That was the rev7. The first issue was the lines/b/throu did not work, I reset and thought I was good to go and suddenly I thought I saw something that said the rev7 disconnected. It was so fast I really couldn’t see what happened. The usb cable from the controller to the computer was secure and was not moved when it happened. Just one of those freak accidents I guess. Thanks for dropping by.
@@EnormeSounds has that happened before? I was considering purchasing it.
I think it’s a great controller. I’ve used it for about 40 events and also in the home and never had this issue. I’ve used it for several events after and it worked perfectly. Can’t figure out what happened.
Hey couple quick tips. Bring an iPad back up with Djay installed with songs on it with Tidal on it so you have access to their music. 2. Put scrims on your poles so your lights look nice under it. 3. Bring back up pants 👖 😁👌🏾
Thanks for the tips. As far as backups, the plan is if Serato goes out or my external drive crashes, have premade mixes on my computer. If the computer goes out I will Bluetooth music from my phone through the controller. If the controller goes out, I will connect my phone directly to my speakers, premade mix on my phone. I will check that DJay app and scrims. However, I got to take my chance with pants, lol. I’m just glad it wasn’t a suit pants that I wear during weddings or formal events. Thanks for stopping by.
@@EnormeSounds yea djay is a nice back up. It’s actually much faster to load than Serato. You won’t have the waveforms on the controller but it works fine on the iPad. Much faster than having a pre-mix. I’d play a pre- mix if my iPad failed.
Great vid bro! So what happened with the controller??
Never figured it out. That was the 1st time that happened and it hasn’t happened since and I’ve done several parties afterwards. Wish I knew so I can prevent it from happening again. Thanks for dropping by.
@@EnormeSounds Man, that's scary! I now have the Rane One, and every now and then the tempo fader will not react to Serato for some reason. I move it up and down several times and then it finally kicks in on serato. Technology man, sometimes you love it, sometimes you hate it lol. Keep up the great work!
Yeah this technology makes life so much easier when it works. However, we pay too much for these issues to be happening.
@@EnormeSounds FACTS!
The issue with the connection (Deck stuck on thru, and song stopping.) I would swap the USB cable, it's the cheapest fix to try, and the most likely culprit.
You are absolutely right. I will start with the cheapest option, however it has not happened again. I had about 5 events afterwards and tested it in the home. Thanks for the advice and thanks for stopping by.
Omg that happened to me Sunday! The Thru was stuck and reset too and let it load it worked. Great gig log!
We pay too much money for these glitches to be happening. Hope it doesn’t happen again. Thanks for stopping by and keep spinning.
Might need to update the firmware if it happen again!!!
get it sexxy is the song of the spring hands down
Get it Sexy is a hot song right now. However, try that KP Skywalka - Tyfreka and watch them go crazy. Thanks for stopping by.
I did , it just doesn't go off like that in Nyc.
Wow, I’m shocked. However it’s not for every audience. I know which parties to play it at, because like you said it will flop at some and turn up at others.
