Get Down DJ Group was started as a way to bring the DJ community together, promote positivity, and help the younger generation of DJs be successful in the super competitive and cut throat nightlife scene. This channel was created to expand upon that idea and help more DJs learn how to start and grow a successful and profitable DJ business. We want you to think of DJing as an actual business, and we share tips and tricks to improve your business acumen, social media & marketing, networking, processes & systems and much much more.

The younger crowd still knows and sings PSA for sure at my college bars
Yea it's one of those that carry on through eras
Nightlife is dead not because of high prices the cost 💲 and things being expensive because this young generation is glued to their phones that’s why not just clubs but that’s why people are not going out or to places anymore because of phones it’s now the stay home generation
There's a lot of reasons why and that's definitely one of them.
What is kind music? Is that where people write their own songs? Is that part of some people's therapy?
Keinemusik. Typo!
For me its simple. There aren't any bars/clubs that play music that appeal to me anymore. Gentrification ruined a lot. Events still happen but they never happen in the city centre. Theyre always underground. Its mainly house parties and family events i go to now. The reality is Black nightclubs in UK cities have have been consistently targeted by police, due to a misguided perceptions of the black community as being unruly criminals that bring crime and disorder. During the 90s and 00s i seen a massive decline in clubs/bars that play bashment (dancehall), hip-hop, rnb, etc. Id then see thse venues repurposed for more 'socially acceptable' (i.e. white & middle-class) businesses. What truly killed nightlife to me is again Gentrification. The craft beer movement also ruined a lot imo. Youd witness all these spots that once appealed to minorities and the working class in general repurposed into places that appeal to the gentrifiers (white middle class professionals, middle class leaving London for more 'affordable' housing). Charging a crazy amount for some IPA id probably never even heard of. So many craft beer spots, hipster burger places, pizza spots and cafes popped up replacing what once were venues/businesses with long histories and significant cultural importance in the community.
Yeah Anthony yeah. In his step daughter
I can’t get around please please please, I have more request for good espresso remixes. Bot like us, I hate the song so never play it. I never had a request for it I can remember.
You guys aren’t old enough to remember this slogan - “it’s the economy stupid” - that’s from 1992 election Bush v Clinton v Perot. This was used by Clinton because Bush was an out of touch Establishment elitist who helped wreck the US economy. It’s the same record playing for the 100th time (I believe that the economy is far worse than at any time in my lifetime including 2008). People can barely pay rent, make auto payments, and put food on the table. The younger people (18-34) don’t have the money to pay $25 admission, $10-15 drinks, etc and risk being slipped drugs or getting a DWI. The people that do have $150 to blow on a Sat night are likely older than 35 and have relationships / families and have no interest in clubs. On top of that many men have realized that they were being used for free drinks and that a nightclub is not the place to look for a quality person or relationship. You also have the hook up culture where people are doing that online - it’s same reason that retail (malls) has collapsed.
Stay up Forever records , Dirty ,warehouse squatting ,acid teckno bastards. [record label]
I don't mind spending $2,000 on a night out with the bros, buying random chicks drinks, and getting tinnitus. I still go home to lube at the end LOL :)
Always an amazing day when Cream and Gary upload a new episode
In my opinion, the DJs of today are awful, and if the DJ is underwhelming, then the whole atmosphere of the club is underwhelming as well.
There are tons of GREAT djs right now, but there are tons of absolutely terrible DJs as well. Barriers to enter the space are much easier with less expensive gear and technology. The DJ bookers are extremely important.
Expensive drinks with snobby people and asshole bouncers, women who are on guard for getting hit on, the same bullshit popular music, extremely late hours, it’s so loud you have to leave to talk to somebody. It works well for certain personalities and regulars and promoters. Outside of that it’s not that fun.
🎯💯
What role have drugs played in the demise? In the 80's we always had plenty of access to ecstasy, coke, poppers, speed, quicksilver, and canned inhalants. I'm not seeing the same thing over the last couple of decades. Fewer drugs means more alcohol sales but it's a completely different vibe. Clubs in Houston would charge $5-$10 for a glass of water because that's what everybody wanted. Are today's clubbers not interested in drugs, or are they not as widely available? Ecstasy made you impervious to rejection which today's cell phone generation can't handle the idea of face to face rejection. That's why they'd rather swipe than deal with someone who is standing in front of them. Am I making sense or am I just too old and out of touch?
Feel like this could be an entire episode
@@getdowndjgroup I'd watch that episode... Seems like you could have one on drugs, one on social media, and another on music. Today's music, like Taylor Swift, is all about how men did her wrong. Back then it was Whitney Houston talking about I Wanna Dance With Somebody. Lionel Richie and All Night Long. Yazoo with Don't Go. Madonna and Like A Virgin. FRANKIE SAY RELAX, DON'T DO IT WHEN YOU WANNA COME! You can't dance to most of today's music, and it's all electronic. Back in the day we had musicians like saxophone players. Sting played a bass and Jethro Tull featured a flute. AC DC's Long Road To The Top featured bagpipes. Freakin' BAGPIPES, dude...
@Troy_In_The_80s Excellent points! 💯🎯

Any day the new episode of this podcast releases is automatically the best day ever
Great advice 😎
Is there an invite to the discord?
Yes, here you go: discord.gg/yMPjGsehzj
You know it’s a good day when a new episode drops
I agree with you Cream about the setup situation. The setups I am most comfortable with are XDJs or CDJs. Standalone systems like those are more intuitive so I don’t have to worry about a lot. DDJs have never been my strong suit. It’s doable but more difficult for someone like me who has ADHD.
This is really helping me learn more about being a Dj. This is motivating me harder to learn than college.
Yo also, shout-out fish56octagon. That guy is so dope!!
Awesome episode, definitely learned a lot from this one
great episode!!
Great vid. I’m one of the few young people who enjoy the art of djing and appreciate great sets. I personally was very disappointed going to a wedding when i saw a dj simply just play song-to-song and thus obviously the dance floor was quite dead, similarly this transfers to bars/clubs where the music garbage. I think there’s been a transition in recent years for music to be such a “sound bite” driven market where artists fight to have their 5 seconds of their song to explode on social media. This has caused people to be uninterested in long tracks and sets.
Keep the art of DJing alive!
I don’t necessarily think the art of DJ is dead. It’s more or less just expanding if anything. There’s so many types of DJs out there today, but great episode Gary and cream.
👏👏👏
Great Episode!
Thanks man!
The Get Down supper club… The Chow Down. I’ll see myself out.
Love It!
Last one of the year 😢
Promo SM
One of my friends owns prolific bars in Los Angeles and has told me how his post-pandemic numbers are nowhere near his pre-pandemic numbers. Not even close. People just aren't going out like they used to. And it's not even an age thing. Across the board, its happening everywhere. "Third Spaces" are disappearing in the United States.
It has been a struggle across the country & we need to be better at creating that experience we were talking about!
I'm not trying to be facetious, but when is it "slow season" for nightlife? Mondays?
Slow season in our market (The North East) is January & February. Come March, the weather gets better and the St. Patricks Parties & Parades kick off a rejuvenated nightlife "season"
I see many will never like this video... Bunch of selfish DJ out there... Only to be happy to see the next dj failing to fill the dancefloor... We need more love in this industry
K&B fam!!!
Thnaks for checking the pod out!!
Great convo guys!

Huge thank you to Get Down and Mills Tavern for having us. Let’s do this again sometime. It was amazing to close the event. It was such an honor.
How much do record pools pay once you get your music on to record pools?
I'm a wedding DJ and my motto is "Your Day Your Way." When people come to a wedding, they hear the music they expect to hear. However, for you, at a club/bar, patrons come to hear whatever the vibe is for that bar. I've done bars and clubs before so I'm pretty sure I know the answer... but... Does the owner typically dictate the vibe and are you obligated to follow or do you feel more obligated to play for the attendees? For instance, a specific culture enters the venue and now represents the majority... do you feel obligated to play for them (not just one or two songs, but a 30-minute set) or stick with the vibe of the bar? How often do you get asked to switch it up when a specific crowd comes into the bar?
It really depends on the venue and how much freedom they give you to play the room. Some places just want you to play what's needed while others have a specific identity they want to keep no matter who walks in.

Great take on the access you can have on a slow night with manager and some staff on duty. Plus the benefit of patience while putting in work to be your best even when no one is watching. "Nightlife" is not dead, its just losing life and needs a revival with a new and improved method of community engagement. Keep it up guys!!
Thanks man. Totally agree! There will always be peaks and valleys.
