    Had to subscribe my dude!!! You are a true inspiration- I’ve learned more from this one video over my years of dj log study, and the most influential part to me was seeing you in action just shining, loving what you do, living your best life- that’s what it’s all abou!! Much Love!!!!

    Tip: Purchase the Rockville Rockbooth XL. It’s a DJ booth/facade in one and your sub should fit perfectly behind it with some uplights underneath. It’ll make you set up a lot easier. Great gig log bro!
  • @amr7622

    You're a really resourceful and professional DJ/coordinator, and you're also good at organizing your video presentation to zero in on where you can summarize what your plan of attack is, unlike so many "instructional" videos recorded as the YouTuber figures out how things work. You even manage to make living in your Jeep look like a practical decision instead of just a problem to overcome. With all the gear you have to organize (I'm not sure how much is yours vs. how much is rented), you obviously put a lot of thought and energy into how you run your DJ business. I bet you'll keep growing this and find continued success! Bravo! PS: As well as the cheap brush for dust, cleaning wipes do wonders for laptops and DJ gear. The gunk we get on our hands every day without knowin it....yuck! Just look at club mixers when the lights come up! I try and bring a few wipes to every gig as it's just way nicer knowing you're not handling splatters of unknown crud on those faders and jog wheels for hours at a time, and it's nice to leave the booth in better shape than when you showed up.

  • @mrgrip2010

  • @ProdByIrieRob
    When you said ``I've been living in my car for like 400 days and this is the lifestyle that I chose´´ immediatelly I suscribed to your YTChannel. I hope you get successfull like DJ bro.
  • @ItsDJGhandi
    Awesome video my man! I personally use two gig bars myself depending on the venue space and package my client picks out! Honestly, I like the gig bars you can get some amazing coverage, I only use the strobes, the pars, and the moving heads! Personally I’m not a fan of the derbies but other than that it’s worth having two of them!
  • @KirkhartStudios
    Great idea to use a one dollar paint brush for dust! My set up is so dusty right now I am going to buy a paint brush tomorrow.

    I don’t know the laws in your state, but regardless of that PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE consider better concealment than your door handle. My concern is if you’re sleeping in a parking lot and a “concerned citizen” calls in a suspicious vehicle you do not want that to be visible to approaching officers.
