I sent this out last month but the gig is TONIGHT!. I am performing at The LOFT in Hollywood Ca. Like I said before, I know most of you have seen VDJ at huge clubs around the world, I simply haven't seen it in LA, or even clubs in Vegas. Well VDJ will be at The Loft @ Hollywood and Highland tonight. If you're around, come check it out.

Just wanted to give you guys an update on how the show went last night. It was *very* hectic there. We had three Djs and I went on first. Problem was, the DJ booth was actually pretty big but once you cram in three DJs with all different equipment, it got a little tight. All in one DJ booth was:
Me: (2) DZ1200, laptop, Denon DNX-100, keyboard stand, coffin, etc.
Some laptop dude: all he had was a laptop and a Denon DNX-300 mixer. He setup his entire 2 pieces on a tall cocktail table. He didnt take much space. This was their *star* DJ. He was running traktor.
The vinyl DJ: he pretty much had the best setup, since all his gear was permanently installed into the club. He had the two 1200s, Allen & Heath xone mixer, all at the right height for mixing, all with the best view of the dance floor. He walked in with a rolling case of vinyl, two cartridges and some headphones,... and I thought I was rolling light by being a laptop DJ.
My assesment of us three. I know it's hard to believe but I thought I was the best (so did the club promoter and everyone who gave me props after). The traktor guy was probably next best, although he has a very *active* mix style. Meaning you could always hear about 3 or 4 different songs being mixed together at the same time. I think he had a lot of "pre-mix" songs that he did prior to the gig. There is no way the traktor guy could layer so many songs live. The vinyl guy probably kept the floor moving the best. I estimate 95% of his records were those "white label" vinyl records that are already mixed. I can see how people might think he was the best DJ, those white label mixes are usually FLAWLESS,.. but I will still never use them. Tempting as they are.
Anyway. Just thought I'd give you an update.
