京都でのDJ体験
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
So you did DJing? Yes. How the hell did that happen?
Where?
When?
How?
What? Why?
Yeah, so that was I guess a month ago or two months ago. Pretty recent. Yeah.
Yeah, that was at Kyoto. Oh, wow, in Kyoto.
Yeah, so I
You know, I do some music, right? Yeah, and I have friends who is a musician
So like who's also sings and do some music things and there are some DJs. Okay, you know in that circle. Yeah
And
So I did a little live at Kyoto, okay one month or two months ago
And then we do a little 打ち上げ of that live. It was not only my event
I there were like two three artists were
Like on the same stage. Okay, and then so we we all went to the 打ち上げ. Okay with you know
The three of us the the artists and then the musicians and they're also some kind of
Friends. Okay came to that, you know, okay to the 打ち上げ and we did it at
I don't know. That was just a random kind of house. Okay that they
have
DJ booth. Wait house as in like it's like are you talking about are we talking about the same house or what?
It's like house
Just looks usual house, but it's for like yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but it looks like
It looks like usual house, but they I think I don't know they it's like they have a
Cafe at the first floor like a ground floor and then on the second floor. They have like the space
Okay, kind of I mean and then you you've got like
The DJ booth and then you you have like records like vinyls and everything where you can I guess you can
kind of air be
You can
Do some party if you want to I see I see those place. Mm-hmm. And then so so it wasn't the
Clubs that you imagine it wasn't like people can know and anyone can come in. No, it's not things like that
Okay, it was really closed community. We all know everybody. Okay, we just everybody was a friend
I see and then we did a which I get a little I say we ate pizza
We drank a little bit and uh-huh casual. Okay
Okay, and then as they were all musicians and some of them were DJs and they were DJ booth
They start DJing. Mm-hmm to make it fun, you know, okay, and then
It's one of them
Called me. Okay, you should try DJing. Uh-huh, and then I've loved to and then I
Tried to do yeah, and I learned from him. Okay from them like how to how to do that
Okay, and then I pretty much enjoy that DJing
Okay, so it wasn't what I thought. Oh, yeah, it wasn't like I did a DJ
Just like that those pictures like clubs and everybody comes and
Okay, I can I cannot do that. Uh-huh for the moment. Okay, but I would love to do this. I
Have to do a practice little okay, and then before those like those ones. Mm-hmm. Yeah
So there was a meme several okay a month or years ago of like what do DJs do?
On tik-tok. Yeah, and
Right. It's a question that I've had to what do what's the goal of a DJ? Um
DJ体験の概要
so
so basically what they do is just
Put the musics on. Mm-hmm, and that's it
That it yeah
So the the basic is if you want to do if you want to do a party, you need music, right?
Yeah for them to dance. Sure. So they
have to
Have one people who?
Who plays the music forever? Okay, shouldn't be like a
Silence time. Okay. Somebody has to do like play the music forever. Okay, so that's what they do
Basically, so what's the human effort there?
Sense it's just fun. You're talking about the selection of music or are you talking about? Yeah
selection and also
It's like so the basic rule is don't stop the music. That's all okay
But if you if you're good at if you a good DJ, okay
it's for for example, you see the people uh-huh, and then it's like um
It's like you
If you're a good DJ, it's getting closer. It's becoming closer. Do you play a music? Uh-huh. It's like you it's you who's singing
Okay, so it's like I don't know if
for example
You see the people dancing. Okay, and then
It's difficult to
Bring an example, but
Um
It's like for example
Basically DJ changed the songs and then
It's like it's you
Who sings it to the cloud? Mm-hmm. It's like it's more like
You're performing it
Okay, yeah, you you have not given me any new information so far I don't I've not understood any any any more
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
So what DJ can do is um, you can you can
mix
several songs
In a transition, right? Well, not only transitions, but you can literally mix two songs at the same time
Oh, so it's like you play. Um, I see the
For example, you play the I don't know
New jeans song. Mm-hmm, and then you can also play for example, like
your voice if you want to at the same time or like any Bruno Mars song and then
It's like
I don't it's like you can
I
Cannot bring the good example because um
But for example, let's say if you really
love
Michael Jackson, let's say okay, and then and then for example, you recently got married
Okay, so DJ can play the Michael Jackson song. Mm-hmm, and
You also you can play let's say
Bruno Mars marry you at the same time and then
You can you can make a messages. Okay, and you can
Or if they're like, it's just an example, but if you you heard birthday, you can play a happy birthday to you
On the Michael Jackson song. Mm-hmm, and it's it's it's fun. It's danceable. It's danceable and it's um
It's fun for the for the people like
And I'm sure at the same time it's danceable and it's musical
If you if you musical, I mean music not like musical. Mm-hmm
Yeah, musical. I understand
So that's fun to do that. It's partyable. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so that's what they do basically
Okay
I'm gonna say something disrespectful. Yeah. Go ahead. I can do that. Um, yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah, that's what I thought
DJの基本と技術
I can choose songs. Yeah, that would sort of suit the atmosphere of the world
Yeah, right if it's celebratory, I'll put on a celebratory music. Yeah, I can do that
Yeah, how's that? But there's got to be I know I've but that's DJ
So that's what they do. Honestly, basically
That can't be it
Honestly that that's what what they do
So the really like basic that this really basic DJs are like just let's say, um, you got a both
Just written married. Yeah play a
Sugar, but my room five. Yeah, and then and then it's gonna be end, right? Yeah, so you just
Marry you you stall
smooth transition. Yeah
That's it yeah, that's the
Real basic role of what they do. So what what the essential DJ do is is that?
They choose a song they play it for the for the people and then make it the atmosphere fun
Okay, it's basically that's what they do. I see. Yeah, but if you're really good at
There are many like techniques many
I'm not sure if you would relate to this, but sometimes it's really fun
For example like
For example, like having Michael Jackson song
With the bass and kicks and drums and everything and you put Janet Jackson's
Song on it. Mm-hmm, and it's like, oh, it's good. It's like a way I could on it's a sibling though
it's like it's like um
It's like oh you have good sense kind of ah
That's how you do that kind of and it's fun. I see people who?
Loves music I see who knows like, um
Those things, you know, like you play. Um, I don't know
You play Michael Jackson song and then after that you play Bruno Mars song is like they were like
I know she showing this she kind of okay. So it's like yeah, that's that's a good
Transitions in it
That's fun. Oh
Yeah, I see. So there are two like two
Types of DJs one is relatively like doing those things
Those ones yeah, and the other one is um, like technique DJs they do like stretches
yeah, like
Switching like to go to go to go and those things. Yeah
That's one. That's one DJ. That's a different style. Yeah, they don't even play a song. They just play a beat without any
songs so like
Those ones they just play like
Sound yeah, and then just make it into like the songs. Uh-huh. That's what they do
so
So if you if you become a good DJ's that those things you you can do
But basically it's just you know, you know when a driving car, you know, you play it you play a song
Yeah, that's the same thing. You are the DJ. Oh, I see. So, um, nothing nothing special actually, huh?
Yeah, okay
Well, you know those like world famous DJs
Mm-hmm
Yeah, like Martin Martin Martin Martin Garrix Martin Martin Garrix, I don't know that
Yeah
Vichy's and those Vichy he passed away didn't he? Huh? He passed away. Yeah. Yeah, what do they do?
Like they're just playing their songs. Yeah, right. It's not like it's something they're not gonna read the room and play some random
やまちゃんのDJ体験
They're gonna play their songs. Yeah, what are they doing?
They play their song. Yeah. Yeah, they play something. That's it
Um, so it's more like a more like a just a just an artist then like DJ. They're not DJing them
Yeah, like they are I don't know
But they make songs
So it's more like they perform the song just like the singer to sing. I guess so
It's yeah, so they're they're they're acting more like a like an artist. Yeah, I think
For crowd. Yeah, I think so, but I'm sure they make some sounds into
his songs, okay, like
Let's say you you you in the festival and then you got you know lineups and you got like, I don't know sigh
sigh
Just yeah, just before your your show. Yeah, then he might like mix a side song into your song and then
Make it fun or I see or I don't know those things, but I don't know those guys. They're more like artists
Yeah, so what so the club DJs what club DJs do is I guess a little different from those
Like big big artists. I see. Yeah, I think they just
plays in I
Don't know because they're doing something on the DJ. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but it's like the same like is that what you hear in Spotify?
What are you doing?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but um
So the basic is just you you just plays it
Continuously to for the crowd. Yeah for them to enjoy. Yeah, so they party. Yeah. Okay. I see and I tried
The first level the level zero and that was already difficult. Really? Yeah, you have to
know the music
Yeah, tell me about that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm
Yeah
Thanks listening guys. Thank you. Bye. Bye
