Beginner DJ Mixing Lesson & New Club Tunes for January 2017 from CD Pool

0:01 New release this time, also a bit of a demonstration

Alright, honestly a bit too low there. Right, let's have a look. That's slightly better. Alright guys, new release this time, also a bit of a demonstration. In this video we're looking at some of the tunes from the club releases, January 2017 from CDPool. There will be a lickable link in the description. Now, I've got here track 1 from disc number 1, we're going to be bringing in track 4 from disc number 2. Number 1 is Jay Jones and number 4 from disc number 2 is Don Diablo and Steve Aoki. Check out the link in the description so you'll get a full insight into all the tracks. Now, this track here, I've got the pitch set to the wide feature. At the moment we're on 124 BPM. When you set your pitch to wide with most players it means that you'll increase or decrease the speed

Or you can increase or decrease it by 100%. Now the track on the right is sort of like slightly drum and bassy. So that is telling me that in the centre position... it is, if I just bring it right down, it is 86 BPM. So it is and it isn't, it's 86 BPM if you count at half time but if you count at double time 8 and 8 is 160 plus 6 is 12, it's 172 BPM. So by having this track here in the wide feature means I can speed it up quite a bit. In fact I could speed it up, if I wanted to, to 248 BPM. But what I'm going to do at a break, I'm going to start to speed it up then at the beginning of the next phrase I'm going to bring Steve Aoki in and Mr Don Diablo, hopefully in time and we'll get some kind of wacky transition.

Let's see what we can come up with. So we're coming towards the break so here's the break, let's speed it up. Okay track 4 from disc number 2.

2:38 I'm going to get out of wide feature now

Right I'm going to get out of wide feature now. Minus 10, sensible stuff. Okay again these videos are showing you or giving you an idea of the tracks. Now this one here is track number 2 from disc number 1 and it's from the word go, it's got a bounce to it, check it out.

Okay this one here is Charlie XCX after the After Party. Okay so it's the Jay Jones remix. Okay slightly commercial but awesome. Or there is a commercial version of it but this has just got that bounce to it. I mean this sort of cut, you could play in a nightclub anywhere around the world and people would go well it's slightly commercial but it's got that difference, it's got a little bit of bite to it, it's more intelligent, more interesting than that nasty radio version. Okay let's have a look see what we've got on disc number 2. Okay we're going towards the end of this. Track 6, disc number 1. No in fact I'm going to use gate. It sort of highlights certain parts of the track, it's almost like it's cutting it up

And only giving you little bits. Okay track number 6, disc number 2, My Love Is Gone, the Billion remix. Oh nice eeey kind of feel to this, very soulful and melodic, love it. Love it, love it, love it. What a good tune.

Like it, big time.

5:56 Bass line, line finishes, loop

Okay we've got a bass line going on here, we've got a bass line going on there, we don't want to mess with that. We want the two to go together but what I want to be able to do, I want to be able to slam that bass line in as soon as the bass line finishes on there. So if I'm not familiar with the phrasing or anything like that, what I can do is I'm just going to form a loop here. Now that bass line is just looping quite nicely so I know now that as soon as the bass line finishes there, I can bring the crossfade straight over, one bass line finishes, one bass line starts. So let's go towards the end of this track. Just stop that. Okay so really that's where I want it to start but again, I've formed a loop of two bars

7:37 What do I want to tell you?

So I need to make sure that I do start it at the correct time. If I don't, that loop is going to be slightly out which means that when I come out of the loop and let the track play, it may be out of phrase so I need to make sure that I start it at the correct time. It'll all be apparent, I don't know, week next Thursday. Good luck. So let's go back to the beginning. You may want to do that, you're going to have something interesting in the verseplay while you're, like, having your air done or at a coffee or shopping or you're in bed with your next-door neighbor. No, you don't want to do that really, maybe and you'll go, oh I get it now. And they'll be going what are you on about? Oh don't worry about it, it's okay, it's something kind of what do you know, tell me about it.

What do I want to tell you? Well tell me! And then you have a big argument, fall out with them because they wanted to know something that wasn't really that interesting in the verseplay. Well, it actually is quite interesting because it's this but then for them it's not but they still want to know because they're interesting and they just, well no, they're interested and they really really want to know about what you want to know and you should just some sort of anyway back to it sorry it's that bass line old school kind of like late 90s chug I can't remember the name of the tune if someone can do that in a comment I'll be fantastic it's like I've got on 12 inch so I need to get my 12 inch back I will okay try

10:11 Practice enjoy

Number three just number one hey what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna chuck this tuning towards the end let's go back a bit okay so I'm gonna use the gate compression

What can I say it's been fun if you are interested in getting some sort of compilation of tracks then by all means go and check out CD Paul I am quite sure that it's not available for us because you have your own type of pool of music but it's definitely available around Europe one criteria is you do have to be some form of a guitarist or a musician or whatever you want to call it so I'm just going to give you a little bit of an overview of what it's like to be part of a working DJ but apart from that contact the people ask a few questions and you never know you can have some of these CDs winging their way to you practice and enjoy again there will be info in the description thank you track number eight this is number two sorry hi-fi short featuring Crystal Waters

Testify practice and enjoy nice one
