Steve Cie – Interview with Mobile Beat Magazine

Ryan Burger: This is Ryan Burger, the president and publisher of Mobile Beat Magazine. And we are here with Steve Cie of Steve Cie Premier Entertainment. Steve, introduce yourself and tell us how you got into this wonderful DJ business.

Steve Cie: Okay, Ryan. Well, my name is Steve Cie. That’s my stage name. In 1974, having been on both AM and FM pirate radio for several years, two friends suggested I perform at their CB radio organization’s New Year’s Eve party in Keyport, New Jersey. With the assistance of a friend’s 10-inch reel-to-reel tape recorder along with a pair of old turntable and a Realistic four-channel mixer, I played a mix of oldies and current disco music for a crowd of 150 people on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 1974 in Keyport, New Jersey.

Ryan Burger: Steve, okay. You’ve admitted that you’ve used Realistic Radio Shack. Okay. Let’s just stop right there for a second.

Steve Cie: Oh, yeah.

Ryan Burger: Everybody uses Radio Shack one time in their life, whether it’s something they graduate from or something they used to cover their butt when something breaks down. But okay. Go ahead and go back to the story. I just wanted to make that point real quick.

Steve Cie: Okay. Well, the Realistic equipment was probably the most prominent available at the time because DJing was something brand new. There wasn’t a lot of equipment available out there at that time.

But in any event, I played in Keyport, New Jersey and it went off very well. I was concerned the party would go well, so I built a 1500-watt color light show using a three-channel color light organ device. And this all came as a result of the disco craze. People were looking for different effects with lights. So I hung lights in the ceiling; red, blue, and yellow flood lights. And they were syncopated to the music by use of this three-channel color organ. And it produced patterns on the floor.

I also had a 45-watt strobe light and a mirror ball; and this was, in my belief, probably the first mobile light show ever presented in New Jersey. The audience really liked it, and I actually extended the party two extra hours. And I booked a couple of parties as a result of that. People just hadn’t seen a disc jockey come into their home or local hall and do a party. I actually did a couple of weddings in 1975 and the thing started turning out real well for me.

Within two years, I was invited to go on FM radio. And in 1978, The Steve Cie show was born on 89.3 FM radio, WVRN, serving the metropolitan New York City area.

Ryan Burger: Wow. Now, has it always just been yourself or do you have other people working for you? What’s the whole mix of Steve Cie Entertainment?

Steve Cie: Well, over the years I’ve had a number of different people try to come along with me and learn from me. I developed one particular individual who went on to become a good radio personality in southern New Jersey and is now a Department of Transportation spokesperson. I’ve had a couple of roadies come along; some college kids learn from me. And I’ve always had someone helping all through the years.

In the past two years I’ve been developing younger talent for my DJ business because I am getting a little older. And if you want to get the Sweet Sixteen market you’ve got to have some young faces up there behind the console. So I’ve got a couple of DJs under my wings that I’m showing the ropes, teaching how to do professional DJ event. And there’s about four of us right now working together on and off.

Ryan Burger: Wow. So are you guys primarily in the wedding area, or what kind of events do you personally enjoy doing the most and does your company do?

Steve Cie: Well, we do all kinds of events as a company, but I primarily focus on the Sweet Sixteen and wedding market. Those are the two events that I personally really like doing. In the wedding market, that’s where I can show my MC talents best. That’s where I really focus my market right now; the last eight or nine years predominantly looking for the wedding business.

Ryan Burger: Okay. Tell me a little bit about your entertainment style as to what makes you different. You’re right in the thick of millions of weddings every year with New Jersey, New York, and all the stuff in there. What makes you different than any other DJ in the area?

Steve Cie: Well, my entertainment style is one which I label as client-specific. I interview my clients. I determine what it is that they would like at their event and what they expect at their event. I can be an energetic and an interactive party-motivating DJ, really high energy; or I can be somewhat laid back, performing a quasi-live radio show, if you will, at your event. I’m blessed to have the gift of a good radio announcer’s voice. It’s my voice and my ability to read a crowd’s taste in music that have been crucial ingredients in my successful career.

Ryan Burger: Wow. So how many events do you personally do a year? The company keeps you, I imagine, rather busy. This is a full-time thing for you, from what I understand.

Steve Cie: This is a full-time event for me right now, full-time business. It’s been full-time now for about nine years. To put a number, I’d say I’m doing about 55 events a year myself.

Ryan Burger: Okay. Okay.

Steve Cie: I don’t book out other DJs doing my events. Every event I turn out to myself. That’s one thing that makes me a little bit different than some of the others. When you book Steve Cie, you get Steve Cie at your event.

Ryan Burger: How’s most business coming your way? You have a nice looking website. I know you’ve been on the Web for a long time with everything. Referrals? How do people come knocking on your door?

Steve Cie: The bulk of my business is referrals. I’ve done extensive marketing and social media marketing and it has increased the amount of calls I get. But the true business comes from word of mouth referrals.

Ryan Burger: Okay. I’ve got something interesting in my office right now. I’m actually going to roll it out at an event next week. And part of the reason why we’ve hooked up and started talking is the “faCIEd” that you’ve started building, I guess started out doing for yourself and a couple of the local guys. Tell us a little bit about what a faCIEd is.

Steve Cie: Okay. Well, in an effort to try and make business more professional and looking better, I used a black frontboard for a couple of years and I liked it. But I saw an illuminated frontboard that caught my eye. And I said, lighting has been the linchpin of The Steve Cie Show since its inception in 1975. I said, I’ve got to doing something like this.

So I went to get what you call an illuminated, or fabric panel light board, for the front of my DJ booth and I couldn’t find one that I liked. I couldn’t find one built to my standards which would service me and be portable and mobile enough where I wouldn’t have to worry about it breaking when I got there. So I built my own.

I did two or three different versions before I came to the version that I currently build. And a few of my friends with the network that I’m a member of, asked if they could get one, too. And I started building them. And to date, we’ve got about 45 of these boards out there in the tri-state area and it’s become another faction of my business. And it’s part of my mantra to try and make disc jockey entertainment a professional industry, and I think this adds and augments that image.

Ryan Burger: Yeah. I’ve seen people use these. As I mentioned, I’m going to be rolling one of these out tomorrow myself at an event. You’ve got to see it to understand it. You can check out his website. Why don’t you give both your Web addresses out to everybody? Give out your Web addresses for the different portions of your business.

Steve Cie: Okay. Well, for Steve Cie Entertainment, my website is www.stevecie.com. And for the frontboard business, which is now a subsidiary of my entertainment business, it’s www.facied.com. We incorporated my stage name in the name of the product, as “faCIEd.”

Ryan Burger: That makes sense. Yeah, it still fits in there well. It makes it a unique product. There are other people that have been making these, and people talk about making them up themselves, just like how you can make your own speakers if you wanted to by yourself. But it’s down to someone that’s found something that has a professional, elegant, classy-looking thing, and why not pay the professional to do it? DJs are constantly commenting that you shouldn’t be iPod DJing your weddings. Same kind of thing on this. If it’s something you want, hire a professional, let them take of this for you.

Where do you see your business going in the future? I mean, do you see yourself 20 years from now still DJing out there? Do you seeing working on the next crop of DJs? What do you see happening for you?

Steve Cie: My attention is to continue personally DJing at least another 10 years. I’m currently developing some younger talent. I’ve got three people under the age of 30 working with me right now and I’m hoping to get them to a point where — I can’t clone myself. I’d like them to produce a show similar to mine, because that’s what people in the area here have come to expect.

My business has increased to cover five states. I’ve got people who call me for repeat business in all five states. They know what they’re going to get with me. I’m a little bit different than the other DJ, and that’s what you need to be in entertainment. You have to have something about you that separates you from the others. One DJ or another is not better or worse than the other. They’re just more unique with something they do.

And it’s my hope that the Steve Cie Entertainment business will continue at least another 20, 25 years; and again, with myself personally DJing, at least another decade.

Ryan Burger: Okay. Someone needs to remember something about you. I’ve met you, we’ve talked before in person, everything like that. But most people out there won’t get the pleasure of meeting Steve Cie in person unless you’re coming to one of the national conferences or stopping out at one of the Jersey tour stops. How would you describe yourself and what else do you want people to know about you?

Steve Cie: Well, my personal goals include helping the next generations of DJs become more professional. I’ve started devoting a lot of time to expos, conferences, and network meetings. I want the industry to achieve professional recognition that it rightly deserved. As I started 35 years ago and the industry was not treated as industry, it was treated as a part-time hobbyist-type thing.

One way to accomplish this is to get DJs to produce shows rather than just show up and play music. Put a presentation on in one form or another, whether it’s lighting, video presentation, multimedia, what have you; and to behave, dress, and present themselves in a professional manner. And that’s what I want people to remember me, as trying to facilitate that and helping the next generation of DJs to come up with this.

My mantra is “complete customer satisfaction with professional, personal, client-specific DJ entertainment.” And that’s what I want to see get out there so people who consider doing.

Ryan Burger: Very cool. Appreciate the interview and hopefully I’ll see you soon in person.

Steve Cie: All right, Ryan. It was really nice talking with you, and thanks for the interview.

The Future of DJ’ing is here! Emulator Multi-Touch Interface Launches

The Future of DJ’ing is here! Emulator Multi-Touch Interface Launches

September 30, 2010 – With the launch of the Emulator Multi-Touch DJ System today by Smithson Martin Inc., professional DJs now have the ability to mix music using large transparent touch screens.

The technology appears futuristic. The mixing controls displayed on crystal clear screens are visible from all angles, making the application both a functional tool and a central component of the entertainment.

“Imagine this futuristic transparent touch screen in a club scene – it would be an instant magnet for attention,” says Alan Smithson, co-founder and CEO of Smithson Martin Inc., the company that developed the Emulator system exclusively for the professional DJ scene. “It would enhance the DJ’s mystique and maximize the entertainment value of their craft.”

The technology was developed by Pablo Martin, an Argentinean-based professional DJ with a passion for technology and now the CTO of Smithson Martin Inc. He partnered with Alan Smithson, a professional DJ in Toronto, to create fully functional multi-touch Emulator packages with hardware partner PQ Labs and make them commercially available. Their company, Smithson Martin Inc., provides the first and only professional DJ application for multi-touch technology available in the world. And Smithson Martin is the exclusive global distributor of PQ Labs Multi-Touch screens for the DJ and Music Production market.

Early buzz was created among the DJ community in August when a demo user released an Emulator YouTube video. DJ’s from around the world were amazed and were asking questions on how they could get the technology for their own act. While that video showed only the pre-release software, it generated over 1.3 million views, making it obvious that the DJ community is ready for this technology.

While consumers can play with the DJ-style applications on their iPhones, the tiny screen and limits of single touch technology make it impossible for these applications to add any value for a professional DJ.

Emulator is multi-touch MIDI software that presents everything the DJ needs on one high-resolution transparent touch screen from PQ Labs; the only screen accurate enough for professional use that doesn’t generate false or ghost touches. The current version of Emulator interfaces with Traktor Pro internal mode, but future releases will include compatibility with Virtual DJ, Ableton, and Serato. Emulator currently runs on Windows 7, but Mac OS software is scheduled for release in 2011.

“This is the perfect technology for club and festival DJ’s where the music and entertainment go hand in hand,” says Smithson. “It really is about increasing the entertainment value out of what has always been a source of focus in a club scene – the dynamic environment created by the DJ.”

The applications for multi-touch technology are endless. While it is obviously an attractive tool within the nightclub scene, a simplified version of this technology could easily be created for corporate or retail advertising applications. It only takes a bit of imagination.

The Emulator Multi-Touch Professional DJ System is now available for purchase at www.smithsonmartin.com. It is available in three packages featuring different size transparent touch screens; 32”, 42” and 50” with custom sizes also available by request.

About Smithson Martin Inc. - Smithson Martin Inc. is a software development company focused exclusively on the needs of the professional DJ community. The company distributes its applications throughout North and South America, Europe and around the world.

Ninja DJ of the week scores a tip from a school? What?

School Dance DJs have learned not to expect a gratuity at a school dance. Just doesn’t happen. But wait. A call from Radio Parties DJ Justin Richard in Michigan, who reports a $100 tip at his Troy High school dance on Saturday. Get this. The administrator at the dance called an emergency meeting of his ASB leaders at the dance and they voted on the spot to allocate funds for a tip…bam…he wrote the check.

I asked Justin what the heck did he do to provoke such a spontaneous act of generosity? Answer: ” Nothing different than what I usually do….but there was a sort of magical connection with the Troy students”.   What is that magic?  You’ve probably felt it.  There is nothing like it.  It’s the  ultimate payoff for being in the school dance  business.

I’d love to hear your  DJ  ”magical moment”, either here, or shoot me an E-mail at ric@radioparties.com.    Hearing the great DJ moments is an inspiration for everyone who makes DJing a part of their lives.

Simplified Process for FDA Variances on High Powered Lasers

X-LASER® INTRODUCES A WORLD FIRST SIMPLIFIED PROCESS FOR OBTAINING AN FDA VARIANCE TO USE WITH X-LASER BRAND HIGH POWERED LASER PROJECTORS

Working with the United States Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health, X-Laser today introduced a dramatically simplified process for obtaining a laser light show variance using web based signature and submission tools for easy application and rapid approval.

September 20, 2010 – Since the introduction of the high powered laser to the entertainment market several decades ago, most reputable laser light show equipment manufacturers have offered some kind of service to help prospective purchasers of their products obtain the necessary approvals from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which are required PRIOR to the purchase of any high powered laser product. In January of 2008, X-Laser became the first mass-market laser light show projector manufacturer to make a pre-filled copy of the Food and Drug Administration’s Laser Light Show Variance Application and Show Report available to all of their dealers as a convenient kit which reduced application time from a few hours or more to just a few minutes. Even still, the kit had to be copied and submitted to the FDA before the purchaser could take possession of the projector and then the purchaser would have to wait many months, often more than a year, before the application was even reviewed leaving many in legal limbo indefinitely.

Today, X-Laser announced an enhanced variance application process which eliminates hard copy submission, virtually eliminates approval time and even allows a purchaser to take possession of the laser projector before the variance application is even made. The new X-Laser EZ Variance Kit is a revolution in laser compliance and again demonstrates X-Laser’s unwavering commitment to helping everyone perform safe and legal high powered laser light shows

This innovative new process makes X-Laser the only laser manufacturer in the world able to complete sales of laser equipment to persons or firms who do not yet hold laser light show variances. Better yet, the entire variance process can be completed simply and quickly right on X-Laser’s website after purchasing an EZ Variance Kit from an authorized X-Laser dealer along with a qualifying X-Laser product. Making use of the Federal eSign legislation and an FDA approved service which captures legally binding digital signatures, the online process completely eliminates paper waste while maintaining the strictest standards of security and traceability in the market. Anyone wishing to purchase a high powered X-Laser may visit an authorized X-Laser dealer, purchase the product and the EZ Variance Kit, and then take the product home immediately since they are able to complete the variance application at their convenience from any Internet connected computer in the world.

This revolutionary new process is especially important to online commerce in general and auction sites specifically. The reality that purchaser must hold a laser light show variance PRIOR to a sale has made it virtually impossible for legitimate sellers of high powered laser light show projectors to sell their products through venues like eBay. Because such sites uniformly lack any mechanism for making sure that a user already holds a laser light show variance and at the same time treat a winning bid as a contract of sale, reputable dealers cannot enter into a contract that would require them to complete a sale to a bidder who is not yet allowed to own the product. Now, only with the new X-Laser enhanced variance process this legal problem is a thing of the past dramatically increasing accessibility for selected dealers and purchasers all over the world.

Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, because the FDA has evaluated and pre-approved the content of the X-Laser EZ Variance Kit users will no longer have to wait for a year or more for FDA staff to review their application. While an approval is still required for laser light show productions, the time from application to receipt of final approval has now been shortened dramatically giving users new confidence about the ease of the variance application process and peace of mind about using high powered lasers. Tour producers, festival promoters, installers and many more are on tight timelines and now X-Laser is poised to serve these markets with the most rapid variance approvals in the industry. It has never been easier, faster or more secure to meet US radiation compliance regulations without having to worry about citations from inspections or fines for product compliance or variance status.

This new process including the online application, digital signature, pre-application sales and the pre-approved variance kit is exclusive to X-Laser, is effective immediately and will have force of law with any genuine X-Laser or Nocturne by X-Laser product.

About X-Laser

X-Laser was launched in January of 2008 as a manufacturer of FDA certified laser light show products. Spearheaded by company president Dan Goldsmith, the X-Laser brand quickly gained popularity among night clubs, DJ’s, hospitality venues and production companies due to its high quality entertainment laser systems and competitive pricing. In only its’ second year of multi-market sales, X-Laser’s innovative laser systems and compliance processes made it the most popular high powered laser light show manufacturer in America and a trusted partner for laser show producers and laser safety professionals around the world.
