Beyond the DJ Booth

When Everything Goes Wrong: Power Outages, Pollen Season, and Professional Pride

Joe Bunn and Brian B Season 3 Episode 4

Send us a text

Ever wondered what happens when the music suddenly cuts out during the most crowded moment on the dance floor? In this remarkably candid episode of Beyond the DJ Booth, Joe Bunn and Brian B pull back the curtain on the messy realities professional DJs face at high-end events.

The conversation dives deep into situations rarely discussed in public forums – from Joe's recent technical nightmare with custom-wired cables that caused power failures during peak dancing time, to strategies for gracefully managing unexpected challenges without clients ever sensing trouble. These war stories serve as masterclasses in maintaining composure when everything threatens to unravel.

Beyond technical challenges, Brian B shares fascinating glimpses into the luxury event world, including a post-wedding day celebration where guests received IV treatments in the hotel lobby to recover from the previous night's festivities, a school fundraiser where parents bid an astonishing $13,500 for front-row graduation seats and a Yeti cooler while Brian is programming Italian music for dinner. These anecdotes reveal the extraordinary expectations DJs must navigate in different markets.

The episode also has Brian providing context to a previous episode with practical advice on managing client hierarchies with proper documentation, his approacs to overtime policies based on price points, and a clever travel hack for working efficiently on planes. Plus, the hosts respond to a thoughtful listener question about managing events where introductions must happen away from the main DJ booth.

Whether you're an aspiring DJ, an established professional, or simply curious about what happens behind the scenes at premium events, this episode offers invaluable insights into the blend of technical skill, problem-solving ability, and unflappable professionalism required to succeed in event entertainment at the highest levels.

Speaker 1:

what is up, everybody, and welcome back to beyond the DJ Booth podcast with your co-hosts. I'm Joe Bunn, that is my man, brian Bonacisi. That's it, we're back. We always say we're back.

Speaker 2:

It has been a few weeks. It has been a few weeks. Both of us not 100%. Something's wrong. Hauling season is upon us. Woo, so I've been here for two years, three years now, maybe. Yeah, this is the worst I've ever seen. It Is this bad?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's bad Record-breaking.

Speaker 1:

Unbelievable and it's never affected me. I don't know if I was just genetically predisposed not to get pollen infected, but man, this year it's, or either I'm sick, I don't know which it is, but welcome everybody. This is the podcast for private event djs just like yourself, brought to you by dj event planner, our favorite crm. Collectively, we use it to run our businesses. Dj event planner dot com. Check them out. Okay, let's talk about the. I'm not sure which episode it was was. I think it was aita. Yeah, aita, am I the asshole? Yeah, you brought up several questions and remind me of the question. And then somebody came for your head on youtube right, remind me what happened.

Speaker 2:

I think it was the walk it backwards. The scenario was well, there was two of them. One of them was if someone wants you to play overtime and you don't take the money. And then the other one was about a wedding planner kind of walking all over you basically.

Speaker 2:

Oh, and the other one was the kid, the kid on the gear. Okay, yes, so let's start with that one, because that's the easiest one, because after listening to the playback I was like, yeah, I probably would never let him scroll on my computer to look for songs.

Speaker 1:

Would you?

Speaker 2:

No, no, you would pull the songs up for him, right? If he's playing on the gear, I'll help him, but I would never let him like just scroll on my computer for a song, and so I think I had said that I would allow that. Yeah, I'm walking that back I would never let somebody on my computer interesting to look for a track. Okay, has that ever happened to you no, it's never happened to me.

Speaker 1:

I think the only time that anybody has ever done anything even similar to that. They were just pretending or faking to DJ Okay, which, if it's a wedding couple, that's a great picture, right? Especially if you're in it.

Speaker 2:

I totally agree. Okay, so like that was where I was coming on the other side of it. Sure, needing context man, I need to know if this person's behaving themselves. Are they two, are they five?

Speaker 1:

Are they seven, I don't know, or they're 25, right yeah.

Speaker 2:

If they're legit, able to get on a gear, I have no problem creating a moment.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think.

Speaker 2:

I saw one with Jeff Scott Gold where he did a grandma yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I thought that's so cool. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Like that made that wedding. Everybody's going to remember that moment. Absolutely, and if I can create that in mine, great Yep, the wedding planner and I didn't give it enough context, meaning that if the bride and groom hired you and the wedding planner said, no, follow my rules, not what the couple? Said that was the context of that.

Speaker 2:

I have an actual document. This is a learning opportunity for folks. Right now I'm going to share with you a little bit of my process. So when we do all of the planning, I go a level deeper. I had one bad review that I ever got from a New York event and like my streak was solid because it was only my events, not my team. So I was going like maybe 20 or 30 deep all five star and then I got a one star and it wasn't my fault, it was something that the planner had suggested, and so I said you know what I need to protect myself. So now I create this document. I call it an event day service plan, edsp, and what I've put on there is who is in charge of the hierarchy in certain areas timeline, music, and I can't remember the third one, but there was three things. The couple signs off. We talk about it.

Speaker 1:

We say who are you telling me this?

Speaker 2:

And they sign off on it. That way, If they say, hey, Brian, you're in charge of the music, Then hey, the planner has nothing to do with it. Not even a couple really could come up to me at that point, Cause we've agreed that they're going to default to me on it. But when I was referring to defaulting to the planner, 99% of the time the planner is the one that's in charge of the schedule. So even if the couple wanted to change it, they've given that permission not to me but to the planner to make those decisions. And so that's what I kind of needed to add context to. It's not like I would be picking sides or whatever because of a referral situation, it's because it's already been discussed way in advance. That is the context that needed to be added to this.

Speaker 1:

Okay, and then what was the last one Over time? Yeah okay.

Speaker 2:

So I think for me and I'm not saying this is for everybody, but I think you're also at this price tier where I charge enough that if I know that the event's going to go an hour over or I think it could have possibility, I've allocated enough money in there. Okay, a lot of the couples I deal with they're spending six figures on their wedding at minimum yeah. And they don't like to be nickel and dimed.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I can't say that for all of our couples, because we have ones that are under that that my team works. They don't mind that we do have an overtime clause for some of them in that regard.

Speaker 1:

But when they?

Speaker 2:

get six figures. People want to know that they're paying it all in, they don't want to have to think about it and we found that to be almost like a selling point for us at that tier of price point and I've never had anybody abuse it, Literally like I might go an hour longer. I had one couple back in the day when I had packages.

Speaker 2:

I had the bronze the silver, I had the platinum and I did unlimited hours. Big mistake, I had one person take advantage of it and they literally went for eight hours with 100 people. I'm like why are we doing this? They were in a small room and I had to fulfill it and so I said you know what? Never again am I wording it that way and I didn't charge correctly for it at the time Right, right, right.

Speaker 2:

Now I'm at a place where that doesn't happen, so I just wanted to make sure I added that context to how I would not ask someone to pay for my overtime, because I've already got enough in the kitty on the front end.

Speaker 1:

Do you feel like most Brian B shows are five figures plus? Yes, 10 grand plus.

Speaker 2:

Mm-hmm, if you're getting on a plane especially, yeah Right, that's with year. I don't want to say that's just for me. No, no, no Production travel talent fee.

Speaker 1:

The way you do it.

Speaker 2:

Lay it down Right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that makes sense to me. I don't think that person, but but they would be nice, I don't, they weren't coming from my head. No, no, I know, but I don't think they understood what price point you're working with. Yeah, it's not like us where we're getting three or four grand right. In that case, if I was doing an hour, I'm gonna get some money well, if I'm. If I'm 10, 15 minutes past midnight, or 11 or whatever it is, I'm no problem but if you were going to jamaica, I mean, what are you gonna?

Speaker 1:

do. Yeah, anyway, I'm just going to go back to my room and watch Netflix after it's over.

Speaker 2:

For another if it made sense. And that's the other part of the context too.

Speaker 1:

And again, sorry, it's just you're building on the memory Right. Yeah, we were raging at 11. The dude kept playing. We were just like go, keep going, keep going.

Speaker 2:

You're just building your legend. That point right. And there's always the caveat in that event day service plan that I have the authority or the power to decide on the spot if we're going longer or not okay, it's always explained, it's signed off on. There's no gray area when we get there.

Speaker 1:

Someone's hammered you can't shorten it can you?

Speaker 2:

I wouldn't because I planned for that amount of time. I mean, if it really needed it and I felt like it would help the party, I would go up to them and say it me too but I've done that before I.

Speaker 1:

I can't remember the last time I've done it, but I have done it oh, I have done it too, and I just was like hey, you know, I know y'all want to do a sparkler, exit the way. Let's just say it was 75 people to start with, now it's down to 45, like yeah hey, if you want this to look good in pictures, we probably should end 30 minutes early yeah, I always say to them you don't want to be the last two on the dance floor with everybody else that's left already.

Speaker 2:

Leave it with a great venue. It doesn't make you feel great.

Speaker 1:

Totally. Let's talk about real quick what the last few things you've done. We always batch create these, so we haven't done them. In a few weeks. What were the last few gigs you did? You went down to South Carolina. You took the evolved 90s.

Speaker 2:

They were incredible. Yeah, they were. I gotta say I, I, I heard them at the dj collective yeah to play on them for the first time. I was in an old building and I know you played on on a building that wasn't really wired sound power wise, so maybe you can talk to that, but I was a little worried about that, honestly, yeah, right, but I I tested them for throttle and it worked and I never had them go out on me at one time.

Speaker 2:

This was an older building, but it was a interesting wedding. It was what they call a sand gate, which is usually the day before or two days before the wedding. This was the day after the wedding, so they've been partying for two straight days. So I'm like am I getting sloppy?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, right, right right.

Speaker 2:

And the wedding went to 1 am the night before, so they went to 1 am the night before. So they brought a bus with uh an iv for every guest. No, they did, they're all in the lobby just like hooked up.

Speaker 1:

Wow, it was incredible. So they're ready to go I like that.

Speaker 2:

The sand geek went great. It was very edm, heavy, which I mean I can play sets of that. Yeah, I was a little bit worried about like can we do this all night? Yeah, right, right so I dropped it to some edm. That was like 70 beats per minute, kind of like not trap, but like ish.

Speaker 1:

If you will.

Speaker 2:

And that helped, but it was from seven until one Straight dancing. No formalities. But then you said they had like some musical entertainers come in, so seven o'clock they had a drummer I forget what they call it like a doula drummer it I forgot what they call it like a Dola drummer.

Speaker 1:

It's these massive Indian drums.

Speaker 2:

So they basically did like a second line ish with those guys in. That was for five minutes. Oh wow, the only other break there was was a toast halfway through. That was it, and so then to restart it. I was also like, oh shoot, I got to restart it and it was like this we'd already been jamming them pretty hard. So I'm like I don't want to figure out how to restart it, but we figured it out and the mom was super stoked. It was really for her, more so than the bride Right. So it was great. And then I did a charity event which was a nonprofit.

Speaker 2:

They raised no, that was a while back. This was for a private school that like like the one that my daughter goes to and they raise money for the school.

Speaker 2:

Like they don't need it Cause, trust me, they're getting tons of tuition money. So they had 11 auction items and I basically was playing it was they called it? Um, uh, the good life, the Dolce Vita, and so I had to come up with all this Italian music to play for dinner and then we went into the dance party. The funniest thing to me was I knew I was in the South because this was in Tallahassee, florida, when they had the auction items which I had to play stingers for when they would win.

Speaker 2:

The first one that they auctioned off that started at $10,000, was six front row tickets to the graduation with a Yeti cooler included. I'm like whoa who does this, like I'm like who's bidding $10 thousand dollars to go to graduation and and they were having a bit off war and went to like 13.5 or something crazy for a graduation. Okay, that's when you got f you money.

Speaker 1:

I'd rather sit in the back, totally holy smoke.

Speaker 2:

So it was fun, it was a good gig, so I haven't done a wedding in a while. I'm due for this weekend.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we we reset the 22nd of March. Great wedding we were at the barn at Wakefield, awesome couple, challenging sound. Challenging sound. We did not take the 90s, we took the 50s, because they don't have an elevator, they have, like, a handicap lift.

Speaker 1:

That's the main reason, yeah it was rough but we got up there. Great party. It was a perfect start to the season. I distinctly remember them coming up to me at the end and I go thank you, we've done a million fundraisers, even in the last year. Remember we talked about on the podcast like not great weddings, and finally I was like we're back, we're turning the corner here.

Speaker 2:

I love that.

Speaker 1:

And then we went into last weekend, another good one at Merriman Wynn, where we're going to have the DJ Collective by the way, not signed up, wwwthedjcollectiveofficialcom. It is filling up.

Speaker 2:

You took the 90s to that one.

Speaker 1:

I took the 90s. Let me walk backwards. So I had a couple of where the booth power went out and luckily this crowd was awesome and you play there all the time. I play there all the time. Now, to be fair, I've never played on this wall. I was played with my back to the windows.

Speaker 2:

I've been playing there so they could see your stuff. As they were coming from the lawn, they could see your laptop and all that. Yeah, they could see inside. Wow, yeah, that's interesting, so it was fine.

Speaker 1:

I mean, it's just a little weird. You know what I mean. The suite art table was where the DJ booth normally is, so they have power on that window wall.

Speaker 2:

They do Right.

Speaker 1:

It wasn't that it was, I had made some cables, oh.

Speaker 2:

Personally Personal cables. Yes, sir, Good old NLFX not approved. No.

Speaker 1:

So I modified a cable that NLFX made. I took the end off and the new Evolve 90s have a PowerCon, the blue adapter, not an IEC Right. So I had modified cables and I wired them up wrong.

Speaker 2:

Oh no, so when it started, started hitting hard.

Speaker 1:

It kind of shorted out the booth and this didn't happen during any formalities.

Speaker 2:

This was, thank god, not the grand entrance. No, no, absolutely not.

Speaker 1:

This was like peak dancing, though, and and like it was like whatever, don't stop believing. Music drops and people just kept singing and, to be fair, it was uh, it was hotel.

Speaker 2:

Oh, and they just kept singing and luckily the computer stays on.

Speaker 1:

It just obviously comes off charge and it's such a newer m1 computer that it reconnects to serato super fast. I don't think it was five, ten seconds wait oh, is that quick.

Speaker 2:

You were able to switch it back on and we can't.

Speaker 1:

We're like what's going on and finally I got on the mic, I was like, hey guys, sorry about that, we're gonna figure it out. We need to run an extension cord. So I kind of just went down to one speaker, which was still too much. We had the master at minus five and the sub at like minus 12.

Speaker 2:

Wow, so you will ever use those in that space.

Speaker 1:

Yes, because now I bought new cables and I have a new power conditioner. But is power?

Speaker 2:

conditioner, but is it too much?

Speaker 1:

like oh, will I use the speakers there? I'll use the speakers, but I will not use the 90s in there, right? It's too much, right, and that's why I'm glad I kept the 50s. Like you know, your first instinct when you get something new is to sell the old or mine is yeah, I'm glad I didn't sell my 50s. Yeah, the 90s are way too much for that room. I had the staff telling me to turn the bass down. I had you know like it was too.

Speaker 2:

So as soon as you moved it, it didn't go out again or did it go again? No, Okay, it didn't. So how did it switch back on the circuit? It wasn't the circuit.

Speaker 1:

It was the booth itself.

Speaker 1:

Oh, got it, so I think what it was was bad power into the rack mounted power strip Got it, tripped the whole booth. So the booth shuts down, but it comes right back on. There's not even one of those little things that pops out or anything. It just it would come right back on. And so basically, I mean they were just kept singing and I would just hit start again. And I, just like I said, I got on the mic. I was like hey, we're going to figure this out. And once I unplugged it and moved it to another outlet, never problem, never a problem.

Speaker 2:

In those moments, though, do you get a little nervous dude the whole rest of the.

Speaker 1:

It was probably an hour and a half left of dancing and I was like the whole time I'm like, oh, my god like he I mean he was looking at me. He's like bro, is this gonna happen again? I'm like dude. I hope not, yeah so anyway, it wasn't their fault, it was but the party went great party was great. I think they had a great time.

Speaker 2:

Good sports, yeah. Yeah, they weren't like no booze, no, you know. Just they kept singing, yeah.

Speaker 1:

And luckily, like I said, it wasn't like I had to go in get the venue manager go hit a breaker.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, those are the worst, those are the worst, worst.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it was my fault. How did?

Speaker 2:

you realize it was that issue, though Did you take it apart?

Speaker 1:

I texted Ben Stowe at NLFX the next day and I go hey, man, you know this happened last night.

Speaker 1:

Any ideas? And he goes, are the cables? You know, there there are a little bit of screws inside those power cons. Green goes to this positive, negative, and I think I had two of them backwards positive, negative, and I think I had two of them backwards so it still would work, but it's wrong. Oh, wow, and so I go. You know what, man? I'm gonna just send these back to you and in the meantime just make me a new set and send them. So now I have a set of combo cables with an iec in for the 50s, I have a set with the power con in for the 90s, and then I have a set with just a female extension cord for my subs and 12s got it but why do you need that power cable if he already comes with it?

Speaker 1:

because I like to use those combo cables where it's got the xlr and the power in the same cable got it instead of running you know two separates.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, exactly makes sense anyway, cool learn a hard.

Speaker 1:

Well it's good.

Speaker 2:

This is why I love this podcast, because it's not all rainbows and puppy dogs, as we say. Right, right.

Speaker 1:

But it was a great wedding. That's awesome.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And then we're back on tomorrow.

Speaker 2:

And you're back on tomorrow.

Speaker 1:

Tomorrow's a wedding, a full-blown wedding.

Speaker 2:

Full-blown wedding Down in Florida. So I'm back to it. All right, let's do it.

Speaker 2:

I got a little gear corner segment for you. I'm on planes a lot and they have a rule you can't take out your laptop till you're like 10,000 feet, I hate that and I just I have an iPad. I don't like using it, me neither. I just I don't like to pull it.

Speaker 1:

I use it for backup.

Speaker 2:

That's's it, so I usually am going through my phone and I usually have these crazy long emails and I'm like I don't want to type this out with my thumbs. I'll wait till I get a computer right. I'm like this is stupid. I've got 30 minutes before I can actually pull it out.

Speaker 1:

What can I do?

Speaker 2:

same way enter in a bluetooth and this thing is like, looks nice and fancy too. It's a keyboard with a trackpad here and it's all bluetooth capable, so you can type on this with your iphone and it links to it via bluetooth. No, so you can pull this out, do work with it, hold it up to the camera. Yeah, it's super small. You want to feel it?

Speaker 2:

yeah, but it feels heavy duty, yeah uh, it's about the same size as that apple keyboard that comes with the imac the one thing that I don't use on it, which I thought I would use more, is the trackpad Right, because I'm like I could just do it with my finger quicker to get to things on the phone screen.

Speaker 1:

So you're saying you will open your emails and then you just kind of rig it up on the little stand on the back of the seat and then this is just on your lap. You're just typing it away.

Speaker 2:

And they never have come to me and said I gotta put this away because it's too small. Wow. So what do you think? Pricing wise, oh um, this is on amazon. You can get it on our youtube description. You'll see it down there that our store 49.95. Let's see here what was it. It was 26.99. Damn, but I think it's a good little find, because I do too, man.

Speaker 1:

I just don't use an ipad enough and like this I mean, technically, though, you can pull out your ipad and the ipad you can buy, a. The only thing that would make this better.

Speaker 2:

Yes, if there was one fix I would have is a holder for your phone. That'd be sick, but outside of that I love it. It's a really good find. Go to our description on youtube, yep, and you can get it there, or just ask us in the comment.

Speaker 1:

I'll be glad to send you the link hey djs, are you still showing up to gigs with a flimsy facade or, worse, a banquet table? It's time for an upgrade.

Speaker 2:

We got a question. This is from my boy, al, from Pensacola, florida, albert Lau. Yeah, he's a good dude, you know him, I do know him. Do I know him? I know? Okay, I need to get him to come to the collective, but he had a great question for us today.

Speaker 1:

I thought that would be good. You want to read it? Sure, I'll read it.

Speaker 2:

I was at a country club this past weekend and was undersold on both the layout and the amount of people that were going to be there from the wedding planner. I had to do the grand entrance introductions away from the booth as both of my assistants I typically use were unavailable that day. I'm curious if you don't have an assistant with you, would or do either of you use a Bluetooth iPad mixer combo to walk with you to change the songs?

Speaker 1:

I'm going to be at the booth regardless. I mean I do introductions from the booth period. I'm just a little bit confused on the question. I mean I always get the layout in advance, so that wouldn't have happened. I always ask the amount of people, so that wouldn't happen. I guess I'm trying to just figure out what happened here to where he feels like he was kind of flustered or whatever, my guess is that because I think, if this is in pensacola, there's a country club called the pensacola country club.

Speaker 2:

There, okay, they usually put the dj outside and then have the dinner and the introductions and formalities indoors, okay, okay, so to see when they finish. You kind of you can kind of see in the window, but, like it's, if there's a, if there's a lot of sun, there's a glare, it it's hard to really tell. So you kind of having to walk back and forth to kind of do it that way. I wouldn't trust a Bluetooth iPad personally. And does it work with Pioneer gear? Like, how does that work? Necessarily, because it would have to work with a mixer, right?

Speaker 1:

What you're saying is true. We've done a lot of weddings where the main dance setup lights and all that stuff was in a tent, let's call it, and then the introductions, toast dinner, music were in another. I probably, unless there were three or 400 people, I'd probably put the E-verse, that's what I would do.

Speaker 1:

And, yeah, you technically could Bluetooth as long as you're standing by the main one. Right, right, you could fire off the songs off your iPad and then I would either have a wired or wireless into the back of the e-verse, chain them two together and then, because you don't need this banging system, right, I'm playing dance music. You're trying to get people excited now again through 400 people. You're gonna need a lot, or you're gonna need evolve 50s or evolve 30s or something like that. I'm comfortable with using an ipad bluetooth mode. We do a ceremony every single weekend, okay, but the ipad is literally on the stand right underneath the e-verse 8 for the ceremony, yeah, so it's basically damn near touching the speaker I mean.

Speaker 2:

The other thought I had is that grand entrances it depends on what songs too, because I don't know how I mean if it's something like heavy edm all of a sudden, you might need 150 in there, right?

Speaker 2:

I don't know yeah, so an e-verse may not be as probable. But the other thing about that too is I also like to do my dinner music in there separately, yeah and same, with, like wireless toasts and all that. I don't be coming from my, my main rig, so I would hook it up to that speaker that's indoors, yeah, and do it that way.

Speaker 1:

I guess, at the end of the day, you know two things that I always seem to get, and again, most of the shows that I personally do have a professional wedding planner right, somebody's aunt right, and it is. I got a layout and you know, on that list of kind of final questions, how many you know, how many rsvps did you get?

Speaker 1:

130, 150 is probably our standard down here in raleigh, to be honest with you, maybe twice a year, maybe we'll see 300 people and if it's close and it's in your area, I say go do a site inspection.

Speaker 2:

You've never been there for damn sure you know, I always like to know, like just little things.

Speaker 1:

What am I walking into? Yes, as much as possible, now, if you're traveling and you can't always do that, but that's also the beauty of having 25 DJs, because if I'm going somewhere especially if it anybody been to the barn of blah blah blah Talk to me about the load in the setup, whatever.

Speaker 2:

And somebody has been normally Randy and he'll be like yeah, man, it's ground level, it's super easy.

Speaker 1:

Lady there sucks or lady there's great.

Speaker 2:

So we do two things with that. We have an end of event form that all of our DJs have to fill out and one of the questions is is there anything about the venue that we need to be aware of? Outlets not working, having extra cables? Then I'm going to plug DJ Event Planner again. We actually put that into the notes of the venue in Event Planner and some of them have been like. If you look down on some of the venues we've been there for 10, 15 years you can see the progression of how they upgraded the venue. But it has not only issues, also wi-fi codes. Yeah, so no one has to go. Hey, what's the wi-fi?

Speaker 2:

here in case you need it, so using event planner because you can just search by the venue and then all of the stuff's in there and that's how we utilize.

Speaker 1:

We need to start doing that. All right, good episode. Man love that man anything else, I can't think of anything. Let's put a bow on this one. Wrap it up. Thanks everybody for watching.
