Can't believe you made a response to my response! Feels like a delayed FaceTime ha ha. Also feels like we need to do a podcast about this, I have a lot of answers, for instance about the making and playing your own tracks part. Thank you for not giving me the SHAQ treatment LOL. Soup In A Bowl sounds HOT. Thank you for sharing your passion in DJing, it's much appreciatedI shall be hitting you in the DMs sir!
Right? Like, DJ's are people who turned "dude, I made you a mix tape but added stuff to make it crappier" into a career. Why is he so deferential to these ppl?
I enjoyed Laid Back Luke’s way of going about the video. It wasn’t just dog piling on a newbie, but instead giving some history, context, and solid advice. Solid work from both of y’all!
I think it definitely shows how long he's been in the business. I've been around a lot of guys who have LOTS of experience in whatever they're doing whether it be a career or hobby. A lot of them are like Luke where they try to give advice and answer questions full well knowing that whoever they're talking too probably won't retain or understand every single piece of what they're saying. Anything helps though and the process of veterans helping out newbies in any capacity has always impressed me. For me its fireworks and pyro displays. Whenever I get lucky enough to meet a professional pyro I find that I could easily spend hours talking to them but most of the time I only get an hour or two. So its all about trying to ask them what I view as the most important questions I can think of and try to retain as much as I can from their answer.
Exactly. He just seems like a good dude all around. Definitely cares a lot about his process and being thoughtful with it. The horsing video proved that as well.
@@annacatarina4310 I obviously don't know Cody at all other than what we see on his videos, but he seems like he's still pretty grounded even with his success. You can tell he was super stoked when Luke would compliment him.
I know the soup thing was a joke, but I legit went to a soup dance party once. It was held illegally in an abandoned warehouse and there was just a guy serving free soup out of a huge fucking cauldron to anyone who wanted some. Granted, it was served in cups and not bowls, but eating lentil soup at a warehouse rave definitely felt strange and illegal on more than one level. It was great soup though. Also it was advertised as a soup rave and planned in advance, which is why I trusted the soup.
I love this. There's nothing better than watching someone's dream come true. Hearing someone you looked up to gas you up. Cody's such a good guy, I'm glad this is happening for him. 😊
It's so cool to watch Cody nervous and excited to hear these tips and reactions from someone he respects. He genuinely ascended when Luke complimented his work.
Not going to lie, I was ready for this to be some kind of mean douche or gatekeeping that we could laugh at the cringe of, but this was just unbelievably wholesome and great. Luke came across so well and your own capacity to take criticism and self reflect are admirable. So very heartwarming and over the moon for you!
this is why i love cody because any negative feedback or any constructive criticism he gets he learns from it and isn’t rude abt it. only if it’s justifiable yk
Awww so proud of ya bud! We all know how passionate you are about DJing and to see your face light up when he’s giving you all the positive feedback?! It’s awesome 😎
I love that when Cody gets memorized by the video and forgets about his posture and half his face goes out of frame I've never related to body language more
And despite Cody dismissing it somewhat, it's really worth properly focusing on the basics. Beat-matching, fully understanding phrasing, timing, key harmonics (camelot wheel), and being able to find and predict the patterns in music all set the groundwork that lets you progress past simple mixing into more complex transitions that will benefit your future sets massively. Especially if you ever plan on mixing outside of house music.
I know you were talking about how you feel like you don't have to work as hard for getting gigs to DJ at but just remember you're only in that position because of all the hard work you've put into your overall internet presence and career. You've been putting in the work for years man
All this talk of getting gigs throws me back to my highschool days of starting an 80s glam band and learning about 6 hours worth of material with my band while also trying to write originals. From starting with open mic nights and completely eating shit to getting interviews on local radio stations and opening for big bands at local arenas and stuff. I definetly miss it.
Laidback Luke giving you compliments is absolutely insane. Its so fun to see Cody get excited over it. I couldnt imagine getting compliments from him, must be like a dream.
so proud of you and kels! Me and my fiance are also expecting a boy in january, we have been watching you our whole relationship and bond over watching you guys for 3+ years. once again so proud of how far you guys came! -kara and marquis
As someone who DJ'd in downtown Chicago for many years, people told me I couldn't do it, people told me I was great at it, people told me I sucked. You can do whatever you want and be successful at it. Just go do what you want.
Cody, SO MUCH RESPECT for you and your honest introspection on this. You're one of the most genuine UA-camrs out there, and it's clear you don't skimp out on any sort of practice and hard work when it comes to pursuing different routes of your career and hobbies. All the kudos man!!!!
I do have to say that after all the years I’ve been watching you, you seem to just genuinely enjoy music and sharing it with people which is at the core what being a DJ should be right???
This is actually why I'm considering trying to DJ. I'm not great at producing. As an artist I'm mid, but GOD do I love music. I bet I could make it work. One of my favorite sets is Madeon secret sky 2022?? could have the year wrong. He ends with "train for pain" by the clash after an EDM set. It's really a different vibe and it feels really cool.
I mean, I jumped from my chair too when he said "you have to make some vocals for me", that's the level of engagement Cody has on all of us, we all cheer for him
I could listen to cody talk about stuff hes passionate about for HOURS. I get so wrapped up in his comedy that I often forget how incredibly talented and knowledgeable he is about the entertainment industry
it makes sense that cody is good at this, we've seen his ability to match people's energy in countless collabs over the years and his ability to put people at ease is second to none
this is actually one of the coolest videos I've ever seen on your channel. It's amazing to hear a vet talk about what he actually does. I've been to a bunch of shows, raves, festivals in the US but after going to techno shows in Germany for the first time it's like a new door has opened. You can tell the DJs are performing off the dome in the venue and it's absolute insanity the work they put into mixing everything. Lot's of DJs mixing analogue too which was so dope I wanted to cry lol. Would love to see more videos like this!
THANK YOU for this video man. I’m legit trying to learn how to DJ at home and have been down on my hopes of late with trying to figure out a routine with teaching myself how to DJ. This video just hit me with a massive spark of inspiration and I can’t wait to get started again.
this is actually one of the most wholesome videos I’ve ever seen lmao I’ve been watching Cody for a hot minute now and it’s so dope to see how far he’s come :’)
This will sound corny AF, but I was pumped for Cody throughout this video... the experience of having someone you admire taking such an interest in what you do must be surreal. Probably like an athlete becoming teammates with someone he/she watched as a kid (a la Jamie Tartt and Roy Kent on Ted Lasso)
Would love to see a longer-form video where these two work together, create some music, and possibly perform together!! Must watch material. Luke seems so genuine
The current stream of music production, and how rapid it occurs, plays a role in the feeling that you need your own productions; and even the experience of feeling like you’ve listened to all the music there is to hear. The last decade of music has resulted in a worlds worth of music but it has secluded out of the music of the past. I think that’s what was being said about the deepest foundations of being a DJ: you have worlds worth of music at your hands, you need to find the originality within it for each group you find.
What an amazingly wholesome video. Great way to give feedback, great way to receive feedback. Cody has been on a great roll for a long time now, consistent.
Luke is legit one of the most genuine people on the planet. Lucky enough to have dj’d a show many many years ago before he blew up. He was exactly the same as he is now.
I'm squealing at the excitement for you. To be recognized by an OG 🙌🏼 also Shaq - love him - but we saw him for the second time at forest this year and boi didn't know how to put DOWN the mic. Def killed a lot of people's vibe, but the memes are endless now. LADIES ONLY MOSHPITTT
It’s been quite a journey watching Cody Ko go from doing his first DJ gig to actually getting better with practice and taking it seriously. His authenticity throughout is really nice!
These videos are so interesting to me. Especially an artist/DJ/creator of any kind letting us pick at their brain. Thank you for this video it was very appreciated especially as an up and coming DJ.
This was pretty educational bc I don’t think I understood what good DJ-ing is actually about and what sets the top tier from the basic / just serviceable
I don't think it's cheating to be able to make a gig happen with one phone call. I walked into my first residency on no performance experience and smashed out a 5hr video DJ set to 200 people on a Sunday in a rum bar. People just figured I could do it, based on experience and reputation. Background in making your own tracks, videos and being able to do anything you set your mind to, means people have faith in you.
Glad you made this video.....as club dj myself the original video had a bunch of things that annoyed me, but you & LL addressed them here. Keep up the good work 👍

Please I need your Instagram this is incredible

I laughed but also am super jealous that I didn’t get to experience something like that. Thanks for sharing
Cody’s strength is his authenticity. That’s why we all root for him.
cody you truly deserve every bit of success that you have. such a force from day one and I’m so happy to see you shine and see you happy
Well said! Just piggybacking on your excellent comment to say - We've seen how hard Cody has worked for a decade! We're proud of you dude!
George Floyd died because he was overdosing on fentanyl, but it wouldve been funny to watch him actually get asphyxiated
12:14 "i guess i could've watched it privately but I wanted to watch it... with you...." this parasocial relationship goes HARD 🔥
I love this. There's nothing better than watching someone's dream come true. Hearing someone you looked up to gas you up. Cody's such a good guy, I'm glad this is happening for him. 😊
It's so cool to watch Cody nervous and excited to hear these tips and reactions from someone he respects. He genuinely ascended when Luke complimented his work.
We ascend together ✊️
Cody has grown so much as a creator and a person. I think we all should be like him
No
No
all we can do is try buddy =)
For real, Cody Ko has become more enjoyable to watch lately! Like more humble and his jokes land even better
Cody’s genuine child-like excitement when he says he likes his music makes me so happy
I will always respect a person that admits when they were wrong.
The way Cody looks like a sponge when Luke speaks, just absorbing all that juicy information makes me so happy
Cody genuinely acting like an overstimulated child around 7:40 is so wholesome. Lmao

Same here bro my head exploded of happiness
@@Giavekzsame here!! Different head then you’re probably talking about though….
I love that when Cody gets memorized by the video and forgets about his posture and half his face goes out of frame I've never related to body language more
Humility is key. The fact that you're open to learn is the most promising part to showing your potential.
As someone just starting to dabble with mixing, I love that you watched this with us. I actually learned a lot from both of you.
Good luck man! Just stay on it and keep the passion!

he really had so many opportunities to laugh at you and he was so polite every time
this guy was so sweet! you know someone knows what they're talking about when they don't belittle someone
This pure happiness of Cody from someone actually liking his song proves how serious and pationate he is about that.
You can tell Cody is actually tryin to learn , this is such a wholesome video
7:26 that was wholesome 😂 the way cody got excited and proud of himself at the same time 😂 and the Prof. DJ was so nice and great.
Love how humble Cody is to be able to make this videos and critique himself with such a large platform 🔥
