I finally changed my DJ rider ... 

Just bought myself a DJS 1000, well.... my Twitch community did. Having opened for James a couple times in festival settings, watching this legend grow his craft inspired me to grow my own styles. Now, Im rocking 3 decks & a djs 1000 only 2 weeks into having it, Im dang comfortable getting all 4 going together... full thanks to James for the inspo

“Vegas is way too f’kin hot” said wearing a hoodie vs James who’s sleeveless 😂

There are different types of rider: 1. Equipment Rider (the one you show in your video) 2. Hospitality Rider (this is for Travel, Accommodation, drinks, food etc.) 3. There's a lesser known rider for Disabled Musician's (like myself) called an Accessibility Rider (these are requirements that ensure that the musician can perform to the best of their ability, such as ramps for those in wheelchairs, neon tape for people with low vision, Sign Language interpreters for those who are deaf/hard of hearing etc.)

8:22 "'I'm probably the only guy that does that" (using 4 decks for Djing) *Carl Cox and Roger Sanchez have entered the chat*

lol, remember when DJ’s showed up and used what ever equipment there was. Would make a party happen how ever they could.

Love these insights into the industry,captures all the things that can go wrong and the issues with gear on a live gig, . One thing about djing that others seem to forget ,is your the one that needs to handle the errors and work a way around it live, without the audience noticing. respect man

If you're a bedroom DJ, you're not gonna have a rider...lol. That shit made me laugh. That's where I perform...

if you run into weird issues using the DJS-1000 on Channel 1 (as Player One) via LINE while switching back and forth with a CDJ3k on DIGITAL, here's other options that work: he DJS-1000 can act as a fifth player on a pre-CDJ3K four Player Pro DJ Link setup if you change PLAYER MODE (in Settings) to Drum Machine Mode (the DJS just can't become the MASTER player). you can also run the audio from the DJS into the RETURN of the A9 giving you the possibility of five audio signals simultaneously (and not driving the PRO DJ LINK Player No. cray). a weirder option would change the way you thought about your fourth CDJ, but you could use the DJS on channel one and then run the fourth CDJ into DJS via THRU into one of the DJS pads/tracks (change pad to THRU). you can do some really different things when a CDJ becomes just one of of the 16 DJS tracks but still linked to the other three players. this is all assuming you don't want to use the v10 (you could play with 4 x cdj-2000ns2 and 2 x DJS-1000 or 5 3Ks and 1 DJS). my 2 cents

Have had the effect knob repaired three times in one and a half year on the A9 in the club I’m workin in. It’s starts to loose connection and will only work when pushed towards on side. To much knob jerking from the Dj’s apparently 😂

The insane levels of “Accidental Partridge” in this video is truly hilarious 😂. Top notch!

Congrats with 1Million!!🎉🎉

Fire episode indeed! Much love to you and the team! Best team ever!

Pretty crazy that James, needs the 2000 and not the 3000, Pioneer got some firmware updates to do

8:20 “Probably the only guy doing that” Brother you mix house music, there are an abundance of people using 4 channels or more mixing, drum and bass for example like Andy C, AMC, what are you talking about ?

Congrats on 1M Brother!!!🎉🥂🍾 This is huge! #1🔥🏎🔥🚁🔥🔥👊🍻🤘

Thanks for explain the DJ rider: five is wild!

All your mixes are fire! I love all ur songs so much! Congrats in 1 million!

Good job on freshening up the nail polish for the trip to Canada. Fits well.

ITS MONDAY!!! LFG🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 HypeFam undefeated 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

great show 💯🤟

Sick. But since on the send return operates independently from the beat fx on the A9 you could just hook it up to this and don’t even have to do the source switching on channel one.

James is so creative!!

remember back in the 90s DJing in some random field and the decks that were provided were belt driven. There was no way of slowing one down as it literally stopped if you touch it. !!!

Thank you James your a legend

Wish a DJ of the style of music I liked produced videos as good as yours James! Love everything except the music 🤣 Keep it up guys👍🏻

Gratz on 1m subs 🎉

Nice Setup You can connect the djs 1000 to the send/return of the Mixer. Then you can use all 4 decks + the djs 1000 at the same time. There is just no eq on the djs 1000 output but you can activate the hpf or lpf on it.🎉

You are the BEST my friend!

Your tracks are something else James.

Yes James

Sick!

2:30 - James you are Crazy 😂😂

I'm watching this and when you were in the bath i knew something was going to happen like that. 😂😂

Aw man, I was hoping to see you in Ottawa, but I’ll just have to see you in Quebec City in August!

😂:::singing loudly::: splish splash... you just took a BAAAATH...😂

“It goes a little something like this” swishhh, Huuuu 💥 💥 💣 What a power drop 🥵

I was wondering what are the specifics of why you choose the Nexus 2 over the newer 3000? Generally just too Laggy?

Mannnn, we really missed you at Escapade. We are planning to get tickets to see you somewhere else later in the year!

That's cool bro line to digital to accommodate I'm liking that 👌

MAN SO GOOD HE CAN MIX W ONE PLAYER

Yupiiii 🎉

Better add socks to your rider James just in case they get a soaking 😂

Why dont you use the djm v-10, is it because of the 4 band eq or the „missing“ color fx? That would really interest me :) Thanks in advance 🙏

Hii, wanted to ask if there will still be a vlog of ur Zurich show?

Goated! 🐐 best DJ!

Me and 10 of the lads heading to ibiza for my stag, going to hi ibiza on the 19th to see this legend can't fucking wait 🙌 👏 😀

James looks more like the backpack kid every day

how come you use hot cues instead of cue points. I found out that having at lot of hot cues on a usb with a lot of tracks makes your track loading time really slow, I am just interested in how you manage around this situation?

See you in Calgary!

Don't know if you would be willing but a course on how you do four deck mixing woiuld be awesome!!!!

Super cool that you figured out how to use 4 decks + DJS1000 on a 900/A9 mixer, any reason that you still stick with a 4 channel mixer vs the newer 6 channel V10?? (Any other DJs / Production crew have a reasoning or preference - would love to hear as I work in an event production company)

@jameshype have you had a spin on the DJM-v10 mixer?

James, why don't you use the 6 channel V10?

It's so interesting to hear you talk about the cjds 3000s and preferring the 2000s for its quick response. It's like the innovation with Pioneer is just not there, they are no longer pioneering the DJ industry. If you've got the time, I would love to know what you think about other brands gear line ups, like Denon for example. Cheer

I love that the discord group is called "no simp gang 24" lol

whats the track dropping after „it goes a little bit like this“??

I also run a Roland Handsonic and a Microfreak synth on different channels using the Line input with the CDJs on Digital. Not like I know how to play them all at the same time haha, but its available

Why dont you get the 6 mixer pioneer?

If an event gets canceled, do you still get paid or do you get half? Since you did need to travel, book hotels etc.

What's that mad little microphone you have? thx!

Run dmc mix goes crazyyyyy

Well im happy you figured out your new rider! Everyone has their own preferences, for me personally i prefer denon sc6000s for all of their features and a xone 96, just sounds better to me and i can use a better effects unit with it. Cheers!

The hardest working and world best DJ!!! ❤

why not the djm v10? thats a good one to performance with more decks and the fx are lit

At Any point in Time you can send a reasonable Rider. If you're still starting out and are used to your controller from home you can absolutely request space for that thing. You can also request simple things like Water. Just be aware of where you are and what you get paid to do. A rider is a option for the local manager to get into a conversation with you if something doesn't work out. It's also a sign for a professional appearance to have a document you can hand over with all the things you require/do. Just don't request outlandish stuff. Oh and add contact data/request a full contact from the locals so you've got proper channels to communicate.

You are the goat 🐐 Mr Hype 💪🏼🙏

I’ve heard the A9 has plastic mounts for the crossfader mechanism compared to the 900 which is metal. He had to replace plastic parts on the A9 after only a few hires out whereas the 900 didn’t need replacements.

I am really interested in the reason you did not choose the V10 Mixer for plugging in more than 4 devices. It is surely much bigger and has differences in the controls and buttons.

OTTAWA!!! 👍😎👍

Yeah 3000’s defs have a delay, have them in the club i work in and can be slow at times compared to the 2000’s. Have definitely been improving with each firmware update though!

Thanks for adding a Vegas episode. Please add full Zouk set. Also add past Vegas episode. Let’s network next time you are in Vegas

What was that RUN DMC mix at 9:44?

I definitely prefer 2000's. For whatever reason, beatmatching is just more exact.

What your gear cycle bro? I'm tryna get like you for real.

Wallace saying he's too hot and he's wearing a hoodie 🤣

if there is an aux input on that mixer i would rather run the djs1000 through that so you can use everything at the same time without having to switch the input on channel 1

If you want 5 inputs, have you tried the DJM-V10? I like the Long Faders, but can't afford to buy one yet

Bro I live in Toronto. Why didn't you tell me you were coming to MTL? 😂

I like that smile of yours :)

Yo James! How's it going? Fresh leg today? Lol 😂😂

crazy rider mate haha

What version of “I got 5 on it” was he playing?

played my hometown when I wasn't there 😭 hope to catch you sometime soon!

I noticed a quicker and more stable hotcue response on the 3000s after the latest firmware update.

Actually funny how many of the tracks are "housey" renditions of 90s/old tracks. Just here we heard I Got 5 On It (1995), It's Like That (1983), and One More Time (2000) -- i like the oldschool vibe, but the new renditions/productions are really just a house beat and some shuffling of elements. Nothing groundbreaking and i fear that's going to kill the vibe very soon. need proper remixes (still with 90 hoovers and stabs maybe? ;)

I like James. James Zabiela

I was thinking you could just plug the DJS 1000 into aux channel and crank the volume on it since you don't need the EQs on that channel you'd have all 5 channels live at all times with no need to toggle between the 4th deck and the 1000

Hope merchandise deliveries pick up been waiting two weeks for my shirt in uk. But get nothing on email big shame

When the technology they put in the opus quad is used in the next cdjs the lag will be gone.

Hi, do u got a discord server?

4decks mixing in groove techno is almost a standard thing ,

Why don’t you use the 6 channel mixer? Creative way tho!!

I often wonder if James has ever tried the Denon SC6000. I switched from the CDJ2000s, and I couldn't be happier. The SC6000 offers so many more possibilities while remaining easy to use.

I use 4 decks when spinning 😁

why not use a DJM-V10?

I think you can use the through functionality on the DJS so you don’t have to switch the channel

that 1 more time remix !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

💜🙌💜🙌💜

2:30 lmfao

I love your DJing and was at Drumsheds ... but I find this weird. Do major rock bands specify their equipment or bring their own? Its a bit like booking a plumber and he's expecting you to provide the tools!
