i love Dirtybird

love those guys (& j)

I like these segments a lot, but it would be nice to actually see something come out of the bags that one can learn or be inspired by, something useful rather than just coconut juice and dildos. ;)

Anyone know the track playing in the outro?

Worthy – Shy Look, AMAZING! :D

Worthy – Shy Look AMAZING! :D

Dam I keep typing the wrong name, sorry it’s off the same ep as the Worthy track. It’s called Waiting by Christian Martin. Check out the Hatched Part 2

it’s hilarious how stoned these guys are.

Maybe find a DJ with more interresting contence in their bags… Come on… CDs, Vinyl, headphones, earplugs and trash?? Pretty booring stuff. Isn’t this DJ Techtools? This was more like DJ Oldschool…

its real touring club djs doing their thing. Thats the reality amigo.

what’s next, interviewing pauly d?

Woooooooord dirty bird! That’s pretty goddamned dope, CVS is a *weirdo* in person, no wonder his music is so funky. True this wasn’t super informative, but as a die hard db fan this made my day :]

I’ve been a huge fan of the tracks dirty bird puts out for years! i love their style.

Saw j phlip a few weeks ago, girl straight KILLED IT. I was lucky enough to get to meet her and hit up the after party with her. Very very cool and down to earth. Gotta Love me some dirtybird.

One day there will be a “What’s in your bag” about an artist I actually have heard of and give 2 cents about. 

Sorry if you know nothing about Claude and Dirty Bird. You should do some research and not be influenced by your first impression in this video. I can’t promise you’ll like their releases but keep an open mind. If all you look for is artists you’ve heard off …. it’s kinda sad and certainly not in the spirit of DJ’s discovering new sounds to present to their listeners/dancers. I was going to post a link but at the last second decided nah … do your own homework.

Dirtybird is one of the sickest labels out there. Vonstroke is one of the best producers on the planet. DJTT, this is not your style though, tech minimal artists? you guys hate this shit. you want some electro bullshit and brostep. rage. lol.

ps. fuck mid range noise, going at 128 or 140. 

Tech Tech Deep All Day. Maceo Plex, Kenji, Martinex Brothers, David Jones Ect. 

What a disappointment. Only segment I thought it was interesting was James Zabiela’s. He actually took some time to explain why he was carrying such equipments/cables, etc…

Seriously, nothing interesting has come out of these guys bag that I was surprised by. This segment is becoming a joke. Why don’t DJTT find out what makes their DJ bag so interesting to the readers of your blog instead of video taping some DJ showing off their junk from the bag? 

 I think the moral of the story is that you don’t need more tech to be a good dj/producer.  Do with what you got.  And don’t forget that records rule.

yo, stroke was smashed!

girl is stoned as hell

I don’t really give bad comments a lot, but what is this supposed to be? 
Someone pulling a thumbdrive and earplugs out of a tiny bag isn’t a “what’s your dj bag” video. To be clear, a bike seat and a bottle of wodka isn’t either

Seriously? Come on dude, Pauly D is a celebrity hack. Dirtybird are incredible producers. 

after pauly d maybe they will interview you.

Actually, I think it’d be very interesting to see what he carries in his bag. You never know. 

anyone got a track id for either of the tunes played? bangers!

Thanks!

Thanks heaps!

Relax, people. Some of us still use CDJs and Turntables. Great post.

I didn’t mean to pull out lightsabers and dazzle us with white glove controlled lasers to impress us. I meant, small essentials, unique things or just things that are important to the specific individuals. For me, it’s my iPad with DJ Player 4 (My backup system in case of disaster, which struck last weekend, pulled off two 5 hour sets on THE pad :) )

thought he was going to pull a secret agent from the wee little ‘dj bag’

Yes but the fact is allot of big names just use a USB stick or some CD’s/Vinyl. I would like to see some live acts interviewed like Nicolas Jaar or Four Tet. Big DJ’s don’t really use that much tech. I mean look at Skrillex for example. One of the biggest names in electronic music at the moment.He doesn’t even have a back up for his laptop. He doesn’t even have some CD’s just incase. I remember an article on DJTT that mentioned how he had to cancel a gig last minute because the hard drive in his mac crapped out. Most wedding DJ’s have a backup hard drive they can boot up or some CD’s just incase. The fact is these days most of the big names unless they are playing live have no need to do anything except play tunes because no one expects them to do anything else really.  

c’mon there WhoDat!  you need to approach these things with a more open mind. i am a rock/soul/Motwon/funk kind of guy that did not get on the techno or house trains (even though I am from Detroit… just missed those trends, sad but true). but the track playing at the end of the video just lit my ears on fire! that sick bass thing with the efx was way too amazing…

now where is that beatport card i got with that audio 2 i bought? gots to get me some dirtybirds…

oh, yeah, i forgot the obligatory old man line: hey, you kids get the hell off my lawn!!

That’s fuckin gangster.

To me the interesting part was hearing their advice at the end, like going out 5 nights a week, or finishing tracks quickly.

 ….yeah his bag would be epic ….tanning supplies, questionably legal photos, $16,000 Cash, Herpes Medicine, a towel the situation rubbed one out on and didnt tell him, several court petitions for paternity tests, a necklace made out of 5600 redbull tabs, and lots and lots of mau5 tracks.

steve if i said MISS HOLT would you know whats up?

Keep the cool videos coming!
I guess a lot of people here don’t want to realize that good DJs don’t necessarily need a lot of fancy equipment to rock a crowd and go bananas.
Especially the advice in the end was pretty intresting.

i would also have liked to know which song the chick was talking about

No spare cables, no controllers, no slip mats, no stylii, no gruv glide? Man these guys must just be THAT good.

Cool crew! Man I’d love to visit San Fran

Oh… Don’t get me wrong. I like them alot, but would like to see some other more tech based DJs setup… :)

Always a good thing to watch these videos. Might get to see something you never even thought of carrying to a venue

“Bootyberg” most probably. Hard to imagine those basslines coming out of a cute looking girl like her, oh and those lyrics as well!! 

Please use ‘San Francisco’ when referring to SF. ‘SF’ and ‘Frisco’ are also acceptable. =)

Baaad. You’ve done better.

[...] A few weeks ago we got a chance to shoot an awesome “What’s In Your Bag?” segment with Claude Von Stroke, Justin Martin, Christian Martin, J. Phlip, and Worthy at their show in at Mezzanine in San Francisco – some of the key cast members in the… Read more [...]

STOP LIKING MUSIC I DONT

>ftfy

Maybe you should ask some of the artists you care about to do shows in SF, then

Great new interview with Christian Martin! http://www.pocketunderground.com/blog/exclusive-interview-w-christian-martin

dj band? lol

I love it. it seems their music reflects all of their ‘fuck it’ attitudes. they are there to party and have fun. I think that shows in the tunes they all put out. Good post.

I love how you have the messy CD case followed by the clean CD case and then that usb
