How can you play mp3's on records

There are very few people who have records (some who don't know what they are).  Even fewer people have 1,000's of records that you would need to DJ a wedding today.  With that being said, there is something about playing with vinyl that makes DJing a real art.  As a DJ or "turntablist" you use your instrument as a musician, not a computer programmer.

Luckily technology has caught up with the times.  A program called Serato Final Scratch Live gives you the capability of playing on records, but using MP3's.  "How can you play mp3's on records" you may ask.  My honest answer... I have no idea.  Ha.  Seriously, the records have a timecode that are connected to the computer via USB cable that control the mp3 song.  You can scratch, speed up, slow down, beat match, and mix just like the actual record was on the turntable.
At Nice Guys DJ, we use Serato Final Scratch! And the coolest part is... we really know how to use it ;)

The Story: How It All Got Started

It started in 2007.  I was a young, excited man about to get married.  I had two jobs for the wedding; Get the preacher & get the music.  I figured the music wouldn't be a big deal since I was the king of house parties and knew what songs I wanted.  So I simply chose my brother-in-law to DJ the ceremony and my buddy to DJ the reception.  

You can imagine the errors in my planning.

My bother-in-law, bless his heart, somehow got the CD's mixed up and started the "Love Shack" when the wedding party started walking down the isle (luckily my wife missed that part).  As far as the reception, my friend had already changed out of his tux into shorts and a white tee shirt (ew).  He failed to announce the wedding party as we entered (ouch!).  Oh, and he also decided he was getting tired and exited the party leaving me to DJ my own wedding (WHAT!).

I really can't blame my brother-in-law or my friend.  I actually give them BIG props for giving it a go.  I'm sure they were super nervous and did it because they cared about me.  The problem was simple; They were not wedding DJ's.

After that dramatic experience I decided to start my own wedding DJ service.  I had to make sure that every announcement, every transition, and every song cue went perfectly smooth. My personal goal was to make each event to be a memorable one (in a positive way).

great wedding dj
we were both very pleased with the service - Hans was very organized and kept the event moving on track very well. We had some last minute changes but he was able to accommodate everything without a problem. His equipment was top notch and the service was a good value.

Most fun wedding!
Our wedding was more fun than we ever imagined, and Hans was the main reason why! He was amazing and had a packed dance floor the entire night. We've gotten lots of complements from our guests about Hans specifically. We had considered just using an iPod for our music, but deciding to use Hans was one of the best decisions we made about the wedding. He really went out of his way to make our wedding perfect, and we will recommend him to anyone!!!

Hans gets 'em going
Hans DJed our party of about 200 people out at a bar known to be just a chill relaxing type of bar (Charlie Mopps). He did a phenomenal job and got more people up and dancing and having fun than I've ever seen before at that bar. Hans rocks! You won't be disappointed!

Best DJ around!
We had an outside wedding with approximately 300+ in attendance and Hans did a such a great job with the music! He played guitar and sang one of his original songs during the ceremony and it was so awesome! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding day or for the music/DJ to have been any better! He was very accomodating to our requests and those of the guests! We wish we could do it all over again! Thanks so much Hans!
