I have created
several continuous play video mixes. These are strictly available
for CLUBS / POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS seeking an experienced professional Video
Jockey. For additional information, please
contact me.
Please note, I do not sell or distribute or share video's.
It is "assumed"
that your club VJ will have all the latest video's from today's top artists
(well any VJ that maintains a current subscription to a major professional
service, like myself). But I also maintain a vast collection of rare and
retro video's, some on VHS that I convert to DVD.
Imagine:
Madonna, Miley, Justin, Patti Lupone, Liza, Judy, AC-DC, Bowie, Metro Station,
O.A.R., Robert Plant, Ben E King, Buble, Rihanna, Beyonce, Duran Duran, New
Order, The Killers, Selena, Sarah Vaughan, Terry Jacks, Petula Clark, Dolly
Parton, Mika, Landon Pigg, Snow Patrol, Ms. Winehouse, Cher, The Psychedelic
Furs, Kylie, Britney, Natasha and Daniel Bedingfield, Barry Manilow,
Sophie, Wham, The Go-Go's, The Captain and Tennille, ABBA, Bay City Rollers, U2,
NIN, Whitney, Mary J Blige, Rollergirl, Gigi D'Agostino ... and hundreds more
artists!
In 2005, I
started remixing videos on my computer - it's a ton of fun, but it most cases
requires hours of labor for a 5 or 10 minute song. My first 2 creations
included "I Don't Want You" by Widelife, and featured clips from the Queer As
Folk episodes where the song was featured. The 2nd creation was far more
complicated attempting for the first time to match the audio track with the
video tracks - the final result was an imperfect yet "killer" remix of "Mr.
Brightside" by The Killers (yes, the pun was intended).
Most Internet
users have heard of YouTube, Google Video, and an assortment of web sites that
allow users to upload their favorites video's, shows, and other creations.
If you read the rules for uploading, you will also notice that nearly every
music video and TV show violates upload policy, based on Copyright Infringement.
Being someone that plays by the rules, it is very frustrating to have video's
removed when the same (or similar) video's can be found elsewhere on the same
web site! Most video sites like these wait until there is a complaint,
remove the video, and notify the user. The question then is why should
anyone be allowed to upload any music video's? It would seem like the
respectable (to the artist) way to handle this is to ban all music video's.
Basically everything on the site with a VH1 or MTV logo is in violation of the
policy. So are sites like YouTube encouraging this by not forbidding the
video in the first place?
Here's a sample
of some of my video remixes:
Britney Spears
"Circus" (Junior Vasquez Club Circus Mix)
Beyonce's "Single
Ladies (Put A Ring On It)"
Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" and
"Poker Face"
The Pussycat Dolls "I Hate This
Part", Kanye West's "Love Lockdown" and Kevin Rudolph ft Lil Wayne "Let It Rock"
Christina Aguilera's "Hurt"
