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

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 😂

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

Congrats with 1Million!!🎉🎉

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

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

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🔥🏎🔥🚁🔥🔥👊🍻🤘

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

James is so creative!!

Thanks for explain the DJ rider: five is wild!

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

You are the BEST my friend!

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

James looks more like the backpack kid every day

Gratz on 1m subs 🎉

Thank you James your a legend

Sick!

Your tracks are something else James.

Goated! 🐐 best DJ!

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. !!!

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.

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

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

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

Yes James

2:30 - James you are Crazy 😂😂

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

See you in Calgary!

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

Yupiiii 🎉

MAN SO GOOD HE CAN MIX W ONE PLAYER

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.

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👍🏻

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

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

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

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

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.🎉

OTTAWA!!! 👍😎👍

Run dmc mix goes crazyyyyy

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 🙌 👏 😀

The hardest working and world best DJ!!! ❤

You are the goat 🐐 Mr Hype 💪🏼🙏

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!

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

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)

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

I like that smile of yours :)

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.

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

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!

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

crazy rider mate haha

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

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

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

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

might need to get the v10

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

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

I use 4 decks when spinning 😁

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!

I was there waiting my ass to get into Escapade… the rain stopped, but Mainstage was drown like Shrek’s swamp, so they cancelled day 3 and robbed us from your show. That was unfortunate but out if control for anyone (if they got water pump one week before due weather announcement)

You find this out just now?? It's was always a feature on the mixer.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Why not use a DJM V10 instead for 5ch's or even go 6ch mixing, you can do it James!

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

Add dry socks, too

💜🙌💜🙌💜

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

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

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

"im probably the only DJ that uses 4 decks" wait until he finds out about Codd Dubz using 6

2000’s ARE SOLID

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

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

there is one 4 deck guy i know of and thats Andy C

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

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 🙏

“las vegas is way too fucking hot” - said by wallace, whilst wearing a jumper. 🫠

Montreal means Royal Mountain in Canadian

Yo James, can’t you just use the new 6 deck mixer?

I like James. James Zabiela

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

2:30 lmfao

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

Is there any reason you wouldn't consider a V10 with 6 channels? You also add another DJS1000.
