Being a fake DJ

This "riser" or podium is a centrepiece for one of the acts in the show. We have two sections of RGB LED neon at the top and bottom, which are powered by battery packs and a wireless data link to the lighting control system.

Regrettably, the person who designed the riser has effectively made a Faraday cage for something that requires remote RF control, so I had to get creative with the antenna positioning.

It has a pneumatic system for lifting it up on its wheels while being moved.

The main requirement for being a typical DJ is having a huge ego. Then playing your favourite tunes at HIGH volume to swamp people's senses.

Can't wait to pay to watch someone play with their computer

That's what I thought too: Looks like he's in a Disney Tea Cup.

Jack Hodgson

Looks like the Wizard of Oz

You cynical man, Clive. They are mixing, responding to the room. That's why I could never do it - can't read a room.

Mike Page

I thought it was a Druid in a giant tea cup..

Carleton Wheeler

Fab camera work!

SOMEONE PLEASE zoom in the video a little and overlay some techno.

Fatboy slim was interviewed about how he managed, he said then that most of what you see when DJs do a live set is just showboating

IN-FCUKING-SANE Mr Clive! I'm a DJ and LOVE RGB LEDs and all that stuff 💖

BeatboxNorwich

Put you hands in the air like most Dee Jay's do because they are not actually doing anything.

Frank

I believe it.

Curtis Hoffmann

DC Allan

Tweaking knobs ! 😂😂😂

from the thumbnail i thought you were in a hot tub 😅

Not forgetting that typing the word "Faraday" is very satisfying due to the closeness of the letters!

Pete C

"Fake it till you make it!"

Keri Szafir

That does look like a high tech coffee cup. Not so much in da house as in da almond latte. 😁 ☕️

Phil Collins

DJ Clive in da house! For one night only.

I've probably said this before, but I consider Michael Faraday the most underrated of the electrical pioneers. We owe him the electric motor, the transformer, the words "electrode", "anode", "cathode", "ion" and many others, the Faraday cage (of course), and he even made humanity's first groping attempts to understand what we now call relativity with the Faraday paradox.

Stephen King

My new favorite DJ.

A good way to fake being a DJ is to pretend all the knobs are too hot to touch but you keep touching them
