I can’t lie when I was listening to his preparation I was thinking it’s a bit mellow for a festival. Lovely tunes but I’d personally save them for a evening smoke up on the beach or something
I love that you shared this even though it didn’t go the way you wanted. There are really important lessons here, and shows a realistic perspective of what can happen. You did everything you could though, had the courage to put yourself out there, and have reflected honestly about what to change to get the outcome you want. 10/10!
Here is my analysis of what went wrong: 1. Outdoor Summer festivals such as this one, people want to hear 125bpm-170bpm bpm music (psy trance, techno, drum&bass, dubstep, EDM crap etc). As in faster and harder. The dj before you was playing that type of sound and had the crowd fully engaged. 2. You played a more sexy/soulful house set which will almost never work in those surroundings. There was a certain level of energy on the dancefloor when the previous dj finished his set which you were not able to follow up with. As soon as you dropped your first track, you killed the energy on the dancefloor. Essentially went from 600 HP Ferrari energy to 125 HP Toyota Prius energy. This is not a knock on you but it's part of the learning process. I actually liked your sounds much better than the previous guy. Your set was better suited for a club than an outdoor festival. Keep it up. This process is a marathon not a sprint.
For the lag on the hot cue, I think that's due to the quantize function. If its set to be 1 beat, it'll snap to the closest beat, so pressing it slightly earlier should help.
No it’s a firmware issue. Really annoying for everyone using 3000s. James Hype refuses to use them for this very reason. I paid nearly 10000 for a cdj setup that I have no confidence in. Come on pioneer sort it out!
This issue with lag on the Hot Cue with quantized turned on on the CDJ3000 has been fixed. I have firmware 204 loaded and the Hot Cue is in fact more responsive than the NXS2 also on its latest firmware (1.85) when hitting the hot cue to the beat of the other player. And if you want faster hot cue response without it going to the nearest beat just turn off Quantize! CDJ3000 is a beautiful machine now!❤
Really appreciate you sharing this Ocean and doing you’ve always what you wanted to do (always wanted to DJ too!). Anything in music has its challenges so it’s important to overall enjoy the process so thanks for putting in the time and sharing that with us- mad respect 🎉
the first time you ever perform a set, it’s such a feeling, and my first definitely wasn’t flawless, but as long as u can be proud of doing ur best and ppl liking ur work, that’s all that matters!
@@ooweemusic Get to the venue early and listen to the other Dj's on before you so you get a vibe for the place. Maybe have a beer if you drink alcohol but don't get drunk 😂
Good stuff! Remember when I first started DJing years ago bro, such a learning curve for sure. Your video totally brought back memories and recalling the countless hours of practicing. Keep it up bro! Been following for long time on your production but really dope to see you focusing on DJing too.
Love your house music! Awesome tracks you made there! 😃 I am more a «bedroom» DJ myself, but I have played in a club a few times looong time ago. It is all about reading the crowd. I remember one time a clubber came to me after my set and said he loved my set! I only played for like 30 minutes, but I still remember the feeling! That was 23 years ago! I played right after Luis Molinari, a Norwegian-Italian house DJ. I was so nervous. He had just played some funky house with some hard house tracks to end his set. I played some trance/hard trance and the crowd really liked my set! It helped that the club had the exact same Pioneer CDJ players like I owned myself. The now old Pioneer CDJ-100S. Those where the days. A great memory of my very short DJ career. Now I only produce music for fun. 😊
Yo Ocean, this video is sick dawg. I'm a professional producer from Colombia and I've always wanted to start book shows as a DJ too so I'm 100% gonna do something about it now. Truly an inspiration bro congrats on this 💯
Not as easy as it looks is it! And the homies giving u 11/10 - at least they love you! Big up for showing full honest approach. Reading the crowd Is the dj’s skill! Respect
Thank you for showing that djing is not easy and that you learned maybe 10% of what it is like, and prove that this profession is as equivalent to been a teacher o a doctor
Maybe THAT crowd left, but those transitions were seamless. So someone will like those. Also you made your own tracks for your first set your already many steps ahead of a lot of DJs.🔥💯
It's really cool seeing Ocean talking about doing something different but similar. I always saw him to be quiet, less expressive actually. Buh here we are 😂 ocean gang 🌊🌊
as a new dj/producer this was cool to see that im not alone in the feeling of dj'ing for absolutely nobody! haha it is what it is and it's about having fun!
Bro ocean I have been watching you for years but have fallen off the last year or so. To see you making house and djing is amazing. I love dance music and I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself.
It’s really motivating for me that even house music wasn’t you main genre on your channel, you just do what you enjoy. As a black african musician who enjoys melodic house tracks too but only plays Afromusic, i’m kind of a afraid to play house as an black artist. I know it sounds very weird but these stereotypes are that much stuck in my head. This video helped me to start thinking differently, thank you!!🙏🏾
That's an interesting perceptive. House was invented by black people. It's in our roots. I think if people in the crowd enjoy what you're playing your color wouldn't matter. Black Coffee plays afro house and he's one of the most popular dj's out there. He's african and only has one hand. Believe in yourself man. The love of music will get you through.
Such a cool video! Being versatile with the set list is super important. Sometimes the crowd is really in a mood. Of course its also a balance between what u wanna hear and whatll make em groove. Awesome u put yourself out there!!!
WOW! Bro! I've never thought you'll go on house music! I'm subscribed to you since 2021 and I knew you as an amazing producer! Now you came to the dance scene, and I know that shit's about to get DOWWWN! I love your beats, tips, production quality, and I love house music! I can't wait for some deep DEEP grooves from you!
Can't expect shit to go the way you want especially your first gig. Comes with time, experience, promotion, selection. Great video. Tracks sounding nice too.
I've been thru that haha first time dj-ing it's rough. Keep on dj-ing, every time you get in front of a crowd, you'll know how to read their mood better and fit the vibe. Much love bro
I'm a guitarist in a death metal band and no how it feels to go up on stage and expose your soul in front of a bunch of people. It takes guts and I think you smashed it! Don't look too deeply into the crowd situation, I've played shows where there's other bands on other stages that have a bigger following so naturally more people will go that way. The people that stay, they're the real ones.
As for the crowd leaving dont worry about all that. Thats the risk you always take at multi stage events. You never know who could be coming on at the same time as you (huge headliners) which will obviously draw the crowd over a first time DJ so ye dont worry. Next crowd will be bigger ! 💪🏼
Inspirational and true. Great video! I wouldn’t feel bad about the floor. I’ve had this happen several times and your gut tells you to switch up and play something more commercial to bring the crowd back but if that’s not the dj you want to be it’s hard to remain true to yourself. Props for keeping with your set style and for reading the crowd well enough to know that the tunes you left out for being “too chill” wouldn’t have worked. It’s a process. Best of luck on the adventure!
This is a really impressive story. I bet the music genre was the issue there at this moment in this festival. You did your best and you did great. Keep up the good work and inspiring words.
Respect the hustle ocean, I'm 18 and used to produce beats at school and on FL and have recently taken on my brothers old decks and got into mixing this gives me inspo to become a serious DJ at Uni
I was following your channel but not subscribing because I was only checking u sometimes, but for being so open in trying something new things and not being scared of show vulnerability you own a long term fan
I"m a house dj & hiphop producer myself and not gonna lie, you just inspired me to make house for the first time. Keep inspiring! Is there a place where we can buy your house tracks? Really enjoyed them :) Peace & love from Belgium
What you mentioned regarding the hot cues and lag is a well known fact about the 3000’s. Even to the point where masters of the Pioneer club decks like James Hype refuse to use them so don’t beat yourself up about it mate. They’ve tried addressing with updates but no luck. Class video!
I started DJing nearly a month ago and I’m fully addicted. I put a mix out on my channel as early as I could, I’ve doubled the amount of tracks I’ve got in that mix since posting it. Love to anyone who’s on this journey too. It’s beautiful
I DJed my first live set about a month ago.. It was a small venue and I played All House.. I had a ball.. The best thing is, I'm in my mid 50s and always wanted to do it... its never too late!!
Hey Ocean, I’m also trying to go down the same route as you. I’m currently doing a Dj course at LSA where you was. You have a big head start as you’re already a producer and a following. Keep going and loving the house trax.😁
I think you did super well bro. Maybe they should have planned you earlier on the schedule thats all but the good vibe is here and thats what matters in festival. Usually Im that DJ right before that gets all the crowd because I play strong energy electro and house, and quite often the next artist is more chill than me and Im just here before him her because Im less famous. But during festivals what matters is that you show your real you, your universe. In a club set up it's a different thing because emptying the room is really bad. Here you did well, it's a great art performance in my opinion. Great job and good luck for whats next my G
From making beats, to collabs and then being a DJ. You are gonna reach places and crowds, inspire people but mostly: become even better as a producer and as a person. The crowd engaged with your music, as you've noticed. Now it is time to take it to the next level #BestOfLucks
I don't usually leave comments... But this video was actually sick. I worked at into the woods and had no idea this was going on. Keep up the good work!
Amazing video you are masting your craft. As well as a singer songwriter, I am also a house DJ, and my biggest gig to date, was one of the commonwealth games stages for Birmingham 22. Biggest stage I've ever played on.
Eventually you just instinctively know what to do. People call it “reading the crowd”. It’s definitely something you just know how to do with experience. It’s hard to explain. It’s an awesome feeling though!!
And don't bother the people going away. As it's a first gig you don't know exactly what to expact. All depends on what kind of event it is, what dj is spinning before you, read the crowd and also at what hour you play :) But keep going, you will succeed
lol dang a whole week for a echo transition is crazy! a technique i like to use so you are always on time with hot cue is to make a loop (muted) 8 or preferably 16 bars ahead of the transition.. this means you can set up the beat grid properly with time to spare and you just need to turn up the volume when the transition hits. then exit the loop or depending on the mix i like to mashup my songs and will use multiple loops.
It’s cool you’re still doing your thing. Seriously, music doesn’t put food on the table. Most beat makers and rappers get paid peanut money, so they give up and do something else.
What I heard sounded great. It's hard to gauge (especially when you're new) what the crowd will feel. At most festival atmospheres, you want to play really high energy tracks.
really enjoyed this video, a lot of similarly titled videos have been really disrespectful of the medium but this offered a lot of great insight! onto the 2nd gig 👍👍
Pro Tip: Research the other artist who are also playing at festival or gig. That way you can have a better idea of what the crowd might really enjoy or at least expect.
I DJayd the biggest strip club in Dallas for a month straight with ZERO experience. I had to learn the Pioneer Rev 7 tables in 1 hour and do 8 hr sets. Only had the music stop on me 2 times. Once the usb cable was bad.
You might not had the biggest crowd this time but you know that the ones that stayed or came over really liked your selection.
Every DJ will lose a floor, it's a right of passage and will happen more than once. Well done for making the jump into Dj'ing.
True! I've been doing it for over 30 years and if you don't know the audience; it's hard to know what's gonna keep them on the floor.
Thank you for this comment

Damn, just imagine how much new stuff you have learnt while learning to become dj and this might add a new perspective to your beat production.
Bro is always putting in mad work💯
Here is my analysis of what went wrong:

@@martynjames1514 Ah thats true! I heard James Hype talked about it too! Sorry for the confusion

My favorite vid you ever made
this vid was tough love seeing you trying new things and recording the process and can't wait to see the progression 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for showing that djing is not easy and that you learned maybe 10% of what it is like, and prove that this profession is as equivalent to been a teacher o a doctor
Tuned in once and now I can't get enough. You've got the magic touch with music. 🎶💞
Maybe THAT crowd left, but those transitions were seamless. So someone will like those. Also you made your own tracks for your first set your already many steps ahead of a lot of DJs.🔥💯
having your own music honestly has nothing to do with being "ahead" as a DJ. he could have spent that time with better track selection and practice.
stoked to see the progress! 🔥🔥🔥
It's really cool seeing Ocean talking about doing something different but similar. I always saw him to be quiet, less expressive actually. Buh here we are 😂 ocean gang 🌊🌊

Really sick to see you hop on the house more man! Keep it up 🔥
I get it man, this actually happened to me last Friday & I've got years of experience. Till the next gig!
Big respect for showing it didn’t really go how you wanted it to go.
loving the progression ocean man 🙌

Your a fucking beast, creating your own tracks for your first dj gig is insane
pretty sure if you continue i just can be going good
dj here, my first gigs lost quite a few people but i then kinda switched up a few things and now its more or less the opposite
Brooo, it was your first time. Dj'in is the most anxious thing you can do. More than rappers and singers. you done well so be proud of yourself.
Can't expect shit to go the way you want especially your first gig. Comes with time, experience, promotion, selection. Great video. Tracks sounding nice too.
Thanks so much for this inspiring behind the scene video !
I've been thru that haha first time dj-ing it's rough. Keep on dj-ing, every time you get in front of a crowd, you'll know how to read their mood better and fit the vibe. Much love bro
That's why. Crowd reading is good 🔥💯
I like Ocean fr - this man challenges tf out of himself and puts it on camera. Not a lot of people willing to do that.
Huge props dude! Amazing that you landed your first gig in 6 months and still looked like a solid gig with many lessons learned 🔥
I still think you did great, the most important part you got onstage and went in like a trooper.
I'm a guitarist in a death metal band and no how it feels to go up on stage and expose your soul in front of a bunch of people. It takes guts and I think you smashed it! Don't look too deeply into the crowd situation, I've played shows where there's other bands on other stages that have a bigger following so naturally more people will go that way.

Big up yaself pon ya 1st dj set keep it up as a mix music dj it only gets more fun. 👊🏾✊🏾
Respect! Huge risk to go out there and go for it. Love that you spun your own tunes.
Ocean, now a House prod and DJ?! Sickk dude im all here for it 🙌 🔥
Life is about challenge ourselfs to improve, learn and experience life to the fullest...big up g, keep on movin!!!

That was amazing my guy!! You've got the mentality and the passion, that's what's going to drive you far. You're content is amazing. Keep it up g!☝🏻🔥
You are Dope. The fact that you did the thing makes you a good DJ.
This is such a pure, informative and valuable video! Thank u so much. A real man can admit when or what went less then expected. Thank u 🙏💪
Good on you for your first set! And yeah, those wook crowds today want the dj to bring the hype and never stop! You’ll be better prepared next time 🤘

Thanks for documenting all this Ocean 🔥💪🏻 super inspiring to see dawg
Great video. It's good to see you putting yourself out their and taking a risk by doing something new.
The producers should have scheduled you an opening slot. Great welcoming vibes ! Congrats 🙌🏽
Hey Ocean, I’m also trying to go down the same route as you. I’m currently doing a Dj course at LSA where you was. You have a big head start as you’re already a producer and a following. Keep going and loving the house trax.😁
Real house heads are hard to find… keep at it 👍🏽
I think you did super well bro. Maybe they should have planned you earlier on the schedule thats all but the good vibe is here and thats what matters in festival.

From making beats, to collabs and then being a DJ.
You are gonna reach places and crowds, inspire people but mostly: become even better as a producer and as a person.
The crowd engaged with your music, as you've noticed. Now it is time to take it to the next level #BestOfLucks
Ocean making house!! This is amazing thank you again for all the inspiration
I don't usually leave comments... But this video was actually sick. I worked at into the woods and had no idea this was going on. Keep up the good work!
Into the woods crew are definitely techno lovers your set would of been a different story round a pool well done pal
Your house tracks are 🔥🔥🔥 need to revolutionize some drill house
Drouse
Amazing video you are masting your craft. As well as a singer songwriter, I am also a house DJ, and my biggest gig to date, was one of the commonwealth games stages for Birmingham 22. Biggest stage I've ever played on.
Eventually you just instinctively know what to do. People call it “reading the crowd”. It’s definitely something you just know how to do with experience. It’s hard to explain. It’s an awesome feeling though!!
And don't bother the people going away. As it's a first gig you don't know exactly what to expact. All depends on what kind of event it is, what dj is spinning before you, read the crowd and also at what hour you play :) But keep going, you will succeed
Mf props to you for pushing the envelope ocean. You kill it everytime.
keep going man , chill vibesss!!!!
Yes bro ❤️💛💚🖤 dope stuff big up ocean 🌊 it’s great to see you go places
Loved this! Got my first set end of month. Wish me luck lol x
lol dang a whole week for a echo transition is crazy! a technique i like to use so you are always on time with hot cue is to make a loop (muted) 8 or preferably 16 bars ahead of the transition.. this means you can set up the beat grid properly with time to spare and you just need to turn up the volume when the transition hits. then exit the loop or depending on the mix i like to mashup my songs and will use multiple loops.
This is sick bro
I HAVE THE SAME STORY BRO!!! doing 2 Festivals this weekend!
So inspiring ! Keep going Ocean
Intro!!! Gotta grab their attention right away after the last dj left the booth.
Respect for taking the risk, keep going
Good Work Brother Keep up the grind
It’s cool you’re still doing your thing. Seriously, music doesn’t put food on the table. Most beat makers and rappers get paid peanut money, so they give up and do something else.
This is super cool thank you for this, makes people like me feel like there’s hope to getting more gigs 😭
Keep going ocean 🙏🔥💪
What I heard sounded great. It's hard to gauge (especially when you're new) what the crowd will feel. At most festival atmospheres, you want to play really high energy tracks.
For the hot cue something you can do is lower the fader for a second use the jog wheel in vinyl mode and fast forward a beat
really enjoyed this video, a lot of similarly titled videos have been really disrespectful of the medium but this offered a lot of great insight! onto the 2nd gig 👍👍
those house beats are insane!!!
PLEASE do more house!! I LOVE IT
I honestly can't wait for you to keep going with this house dj journey. You'll make it to Coachella one day!
Pro Tip: Research the other artist who are also playing at festival or gig. That way you can have a better idea of what the crowd might really enjoy or at least expect.
I DJayd the biggest strip club in Dallas for a month straight with ZERO experience. I had to learn the Pioneer Rev 7 tables in 1 hour and do 8 hr sets. Only had the music stop on me 2 times. Once the usb cable was bad.
Keep keeping on. 🤜🔥🔥👏
