Scratch DJ

[teecee60]

I did this back in the 70's using turntables and LPs of disco music! Just need a glitter ball and a fog machine! :D

 

Don't forget the U/V black light and associated fuzzy posters! :p

I actually travel with 1 or 2 color changing LED mood lights.

Great for night lighting, or the veranda at night, infinite color control, easily packed in a corner of a suitcase :D

 

No glitter ball...yet, though I have thought about it....

I was a club DJ in early 80s. Right before Rap and scratch mixing took off. Beat mixed the old fashioned way.

Are you kidding us ? REALLY ?

You're a '' Modern Luxury Cruise line'' !!!!!

 

We all knew you guys were on slippery slope with your annoying music experiment ( volume, invasive, type ) during last winter sailings out of Florida....But now THIS ????

 

You can't be serious....

If that's the way that MrBailey and the ''suits in Miami'' want to transform Celebrity, cut your losses now, give up the Modern Luxury aspect, give up the line and start some night clubs acts somewhere.

 

Seriously ? Yes.

I'm curious. Just what activities would you recommend that Celebrity offer to teenage passengers that wouldn't offend your delicate sensibilities? :D

Not just teens, re-read this entire thread, and see how many 20-30-40 and above are interested in this activity.... :)

As a former DJ, count me as a not interested. As long as they keep it in the kids zone away from me, I could care less whether or not they do this.

[QE2_Fan]

My 10yo old son and I have both developed a taste for the new dance music known as Dubstep. Some great beats and tempos that really take you off into the zone!! Twilight zone for some but it's music that can bridge a gap between him and my 45 years!! There is one arrist, a 22 year old DJ known as OVERWERX that has produced some of the most amazing music I've heard. But I'm also partial to an orchestra or string quartet or the croons of Frank Sinatra and will always jump up to a mike with a verse of Mamma Mia!! So don't write of DJ's as some modern hip hoo hoodoo voodo ...it's an art and if it appeals to the younger crowd it can open them up to all that music has to offer. Thinks it sounds an interesting program, something fresh at least for the crowd it's intended [emoji16]for!

We are predicting that if thirty and forty year olds show up for this teen activity, the teenagers will exit stage right

[helpthejuggler]

That new fangled Rock-n-Roll Mooosic will never catch on...:rolleyes:

[Fouremco]

No need to go back, as I've read all the posts and know that there are interested adults. The key word in my post was "offer", as Celebrity intends to provide this as part of their teen program, not to all passengers. As someone else pointed out, if adults start showing up, the teens may leave! :)

The amusing part, is this has been in effect now for OVER A YEAR... so isn't really bothering people too much it seems...

From the flyer from June, 2013, it seems it was a teen program.

 

However, if you check out X's Summit page, it is now listed among the adult activities, and not noted to be kids only any longer.

I'm not sure that I'd interpret the Summit write up in quite that way, but if so, good for Celebrity. :)

56 - and I can't wait!

I gotta laugh at all the folks here who think this would only appeal to teens or does not fit the 'Modern Luxury' theme. Clubs with DJ's make more money for the upscale Vegas hotels like the Bellagio and Wynn than their casinos do (look it up). Just hope Celebrity doesn't start charging $1000. for bottle service. :cool:

[SeafordCruiser]

Heard from a friend who just got back that after awhile Reflections music turned to rap at night and all the adults left.

There was some of this rap crap (pardon me!) last year.. A little is OK..Just that music is too much...

Hope Celebrity isnt trying to be Carnival?? UGH!

Lets just hope it will be only in the teen Xclub, and not inflicted on the rest of us at the pool or in the main lobby:roll eyes:

Will make the infamous Miami DJs seem quiet, pleasant and upscale!

The program has been running since June 2013..

 

No one has said a word about it, so must not be too intrusive.

That's why I started this thread, to see if anyone had any experience with it. So far, no one knows anything.

Hi all,

 

A little more information about our Scratch DJ program:

 

 

 

For our budding “music mixologists” we have exactly what any aspiring DJ could want—a complimentary program we call Celebrity’s DJU. With Scratch DJ Academy® classes taught by seasoned DJ personalities, our teens will learn how to DJ on cutting edge equipment through a series of hands-on sessions. All this excitement leads up to a rocking graduation celebration where our newly taught DJs impress the celebrity DJ by creating their own mixes. They’ll also receive cool giveaways—including a certificate of graduation, DJ dog tags, and a scratch DJ Academy T-shirt.
