We had a chance to sit down with these fun-loving Swedes and ask them what they keep in their DJ bag. As you might expect, it’s not the normal array of gear and equipment that some DJs bring with them, but they certainly have the ingredients in their bag to get a party started!

[…] for pairing accessibility with pure rawness. One of my favorites is the Sausage Fattener created by Dada Life, which makes pretty much anything sound nasty and fat. With just two main knobs, it makes creating […]
Lol. I would like to see a deadmau5 what’s in your bag. 3 tons of led cube + a 40″ touchscreen monitor XD
Very cool. Love their tracks.
as much as pushing technical and technological boundaries rocks and DJs
who do it are awesome, i think their motto is all about having a good
time and to hell with being so serious (which seems to affect a lot of people in this community….what’s with taking yourselves so seriously?). Maybe they do have unique little tricks up their sleeves when they mix…maybe not, whta i think they are trying to tell all of us here is…it doesn’t matter what you use, it’s what you do with the music! 🙂

Avicii or Swedish House Mafia (Yea im going swedish :D)
Only the Uk guys will get this, but Anthony Worral Thompson would be a great one – bet he’s got some cheesy stuff! 🙂
great vid, love their tracks and their attitude towards it all, clubbing is about good times, and clubs have djs, so it all fits. i already use their plugin “Sausage Fattener” so the news about a new plugin was awesome, I’ll be all over their website looking for it. His demo of the plugin was hysterical.

yeah, not really digging this.. sure there funny enough blokes and its cool to have a joke but it was quite disappointing to figure out half way through this video that there just typical DJ’s. Where not on this site to see that kinda stuff.. This site is for alternative thinking DJ’s and featuring a couple of DJ’s/producers that are not is not good form.. Yeah, so what, there famous and make awesome music, id rather see a “whats in your bag” from someone lesser known that uses alternative gear.
The video could have been 5 seconds long with them just showing us they’re headphones and usb sticks.
Not all “what’s in your bag” episodes will have tons of gear and great explanations on how they use a certain type of gear, and why they choose this over that! This is not the best episode, but obviously they won’t always be amazing! Please keep on going DJTT !! forget the haters!
Those guys think they are funny but they are not. And Ean was not really presenting here. he usually asks nice questions like in masterkraft video.
Really dispointing video. Useless.

Funny guys 🙂 Loved the video. Some may want to know more about their gear but… brain also need to relax 😉
very funny, but not very informative
There is nothing i hate more than “inflatables” at a party or a club. i get that some people like that but that is definitely not the vibe i am into. Not to mention, you have to worry about some d-bag knocking a beachball into your turntable while you have a record playing.
Really? It’s a party dude, you smile, return the inflatable to the crowd and get the needle back on the record.
The only thing I hate of inflatable is when they’re built-in an hot chicks, unless I don’t mind
This is hilarious!
What the f*ck is all the hate? Stop taking yourself so seriously. In fact, take a note from Dada Life’s chapter. Be stupid, you will have more fun and live longer.
And no, they werent making fun of WIYDB, that is just how they are…
I love DJTT. Whats up with all the hate lately. Pretty ungrateful if you ask me.
I can’t help the feeling they made fun of us…
WIYB with Steve Duda
I love Da Da Life, but I am disappointed by this video. I wanted to see more substance.
Not heard of dada life before. :
These guys should return to nursery school…
It would have been awesome to see what gear they use. Oh well.
CDJ 2000’s
Awesome, thanks for getting these insane guys to do the video! DADA LIFE!!!!
I appreciate all the hard work behind the video and the site, but I can’t help the feeling that this has been a complete waste of my time, to say the least. Please, don’t ever do something like this again.
sorry to hear that. People really like the “what’s in your bag” features- which is why we do them. Some of them end up being more technical and in depth others end up being a funny inside look at popular djs from a different angle.
I thought it was humorous, and that it actually proves a point – not all DJs travel with mountains of equipment. Ean, keep it up. I for one really like the “What’s in your bag” series, even if they aren’t always a 10 minute gear-lust session.
Let the haters have abetter day. Moar of bag-videos I say.
the video was fine..Dada Life seem a lil odd but funny!
Keep doing them Ean…don’t let the kill joys ^ dictate to you what to do or not to do.
WUT? THEY NO USE CDJ AS DVS? ONLY USB DRIVE? NO LAPTOP? BUT THIS IS DJTRAKTORTOOLS??
I keed.. I keed.. and I POOP on you.
(Sarasin will get that.)
🙂
I see we have a little ‘moan up’ and then the videos come flying
Cant wait for the MF pro vid now! Next week maybe 😉
Right cant wait for Steve Angello and A-traks whats in your bag now! ( wishful thinking?)
So… what equipment are they actually playing on? Anything the venue has available? Or do they demand certain equipment set up for them, in their contract?
But, yeah, an USB is far more reliable than a hard disk, and most definitely so when you carry it around. And a 16GB USB stick can easily carry over 1000 tracks at 320kb, more than enough for the whole repertoire of a DJ.
Most likely their rider has to have CDJ2000’s on it so they can use the linked CDJ functionality. I worked at a pretty large club and even the shittiest DJ’s that featured had riders. The venue just gets them what they need. Same w/ any festival or club that has people come in to play. The artists tells them what they want, they bring it. Any large name act these days has switched to usb instead of CD’s. No more burning, bouncing to disk, labeling, reburning when you eventually scratch a disc.
Justice for WIYB, plz 😀
dj bag… show-off content.
This is further evidence that the CD transport of the CDJ is dead! Pioneer seriously? How much longer do you think you are going to be able to hold out from giving us what we want? A CDJ 2000 minus the CD part! I know it’s going to be hard to have to drop the prices but I’ll be honest that’s what I really want to play. I love my controller don’t get me wrong but I also love the feel of those Pio jogs.
The CD drive costs about 10$ in production – if they remove it you still need to have all the other parts…
Besides with or without a CD drive, the highend ones will likely always be too expensive for my taste…
Haha that was a fun video and am glad you continue the series.
For everyone interested in more there is an hour long documentary of how Dada Life work in the studio in Future Music Magazine issue 247. Here’s a trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16s_83rSQ6M
BTW, I love DaDA Life, they are doing great things
If that little mini usb-stick is all they carry with them you’d expect them to at least have a backup 😉
Wolfgang Gartner, Terry Mullen, Tim Xavier. I wanna see whats in their bags and hear whats in their heads.
I’d love to see a Wolfgang Gartner episode. He is awesome.

fun video lol
Get Claude Von Stroke! He lives in the bay area
my fav dj’s to shoot live! they put on a good show everytime. I’ve shot them like 5 times and it gets crazier each time! bananas and champagne for the win!!
Nice post, I always liked this feature. These guys put together a nice fun video, if only it showed how crazy they throw it down.
I love Dada Life.
this video SUCKS
Do you think you could tell us Why exactly? I am all for criticism but it needs to be constructive. What sucks about the video? How could it be better?
its not DJTT’ fault if they don’t have a bunch of gear in their bag to talk about. One thing I would like to see added to this type of segment is a question or two on what they use to DJ and why….doesn’t have to be in their bag to talk about it.
In my opinion, the reason DJs watch videos like these is because they want to see how the pros do it, and why they do it that way. A video that I found verrrrry intresting that goes along with what I’m saying is a deadmau5 interview where he talked about his (old) setup, he talked about how he did things, and why he did them that way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTCqeWu094I&list=FLulC4c1mmaI8LsQSmfuYe1w&index=21&feature=plpp_video Add more technical elements into these videos will really make them awesome. 🙂

agreed. sux
Shit Video, Shit DJs with a Shit Name playing (worst of all) Shit Music. FUCK OFF DADA Life
Why you mad…?
Shit comment, shit commenter, shit name, shit capitalization and grammar. Fuck off, BFLY
I would fuck off, but im too tired after fucking your mum
But still kinda more popular, than you 😉
jealous cause you’re still stuck doing shitty mixes on a shitty controller, and never had a gig in your life ? loser
Its because Im too busy on your mum
Those guys seem SO chill. I’d love to see them live.
They generate so much energy in a crowd its ridiculous. I saw them at festival at the beginning of last yr and it is still a highlight of the yr for me.
