THERE'S ENOUGH:
I NEVER quite understood why a lot of people in the producers community hoard information for fear of competition, an attempt 2 keep control, or to ensure job security. And thus they won't help #new and upcoming producers, they won't share sounds, techniques, production tips, music libraries, etc. etc.
I believe we R blessed 2 be a blessing and I try to give game and insight ALL the time on this platform and to those who have talked 2 me or taken any of my master classes know that I give very transparent & liberally. And because I'm a man of FAITH I believe what GOD has 4 me I will get and know one can take away, so when my man Gallo LockNez post his kool TV & movie placements or Nick Phelps post his successes or my mentor Marlon Gibbons lands a major Ad placement or my brother Malcolm P. racks up all of these international placements.
I DON'T get jealous, envious, mad, sad, depressed. NONE of that, but PRAISE GOD 4 their success my blessing is on it's way is my mind set.
We need 2 be and do BETTER! put our head down and do the WORK share and help people as much as we can, and DON'T WORRY about other producers getting an advantage over us.
THERE'S ENOUGH OPPORTUNITIES 4 ALL OF US 2 EAT

ARE ARTIST LIAISON & STAGE MANAGEMENT REALLY THE ROLES FOR YOU?
Some of the best parties we have at LAB11 is because there’s a good back stage presence with likeminded party people - when managed correctly.
Artist liaison & stage management are great roles to take on if you want to try and kick on in the industry. You can really prove your high end customer service skills when you deal with artists, tour managers, their family and friends, agents and managers.
However, if you lack patience and personality then these roles probably aren’t for you.
It’s the music industry. It’s an intense environment. It revolves around late night partying. If you’re power hungry or boring then give it a miss.
For me there’s nothing more of a kill joy than turning up to what should be great shows and dealing with moody staff who look like they don’t want to be there.
Not easy roles, but it’s the nature of the beast.
If you want an easy role then stick to the check outs at Waitrose.

🤣🤣 Ya'll know I'm gonna keep it 💯 with you. Every placement won't buy you a large chicken sandwich combo. So what do you do?
You take the credit, add it to your name, create more music and shoot for more placements!
If I would've stopped after that first royalty check, I would've missed out on a life-changing career as a producer.
Keep pushing! 💪🏾

Master the Art of Open Format DJing with Insights from a Legend
Open format DJing requires a diverse skillset - you need to seamlessly mix genres, read crowds on the fly, and curate high energy sets that get people dancing. It's an artform, one that takes years to master.
That's why I was so excited to sit down with renowned open format DJ Mike D and pick his brain in my latest video. With decades of experience rocking clubs, parties and weddings, Mike has developed tried and true techniques for open format success. He generously shared his best tips and secrets with my audience.
Here are some of the key insights DJ Mike D revealed:
Song Selection Secrets
Mike emphasized the importance of choosing songs strategically, not just playing whatever bangers are hot. For example, melodic, upbeat tracks are perfect for grabbing guests' attention after long stretches of cocktails or speeches. Peak time calls for your biggest, most energetic anthems. And reading the crowd will tell you exactly what to play to keep the dance floor packed.
Mixing and Transitioning Tips
Clean mixing is crucial for open format DJs. Mike recommends focusing on similar BPMs and musical keys when transitioning between genres. His go-to tricks include echo outs, brake cuts, and well-timed filters or loops.Prep your crates melodically and avoid clashing keys.
Crowd Reading 101
Understanding your crowd is half the battle. Keep a close eye on body language and engagement. If you start clearing the floor, switch genres or BPMs quickly. Pay attention to which songs get big reactions so you can bring the energy back up. Asking the crowd questions and watching reactions is a great litmus test too.
Editing Workflow Walkthrough
As a renowned remixer, Mike gave us an inside look at his editing process. He demoed Ableton's warping, sidechaining, compressors and more using stems. It was incredible to watch his sound design skills in action. Whether you DJ or produce, learning these editing tricks will up your game.
There were so many more lightbulb moments throughout our conversation - how radio programmers influence his track selection, advice for developing a unique sound, and tons of specific song recommendations for rocking 2024 crowds.
I'm glad I can share all these invaluable insights with you now in one place. Whether you're a seasoned open format DJ looking to evolve your skills, or just starting out learning the fundamentals, give this video a watch. Soak up Mike's wisdom and get ready to destroy your next gig!

: Hiring a voice artist can save you time and resources compared to recording in-house or hiring actors for live performances. Voiceover services are often more cost-effective and efficient, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your business.
