Deep House DJ Mixing Tips CD Pool Global November 2017

0:00 Got a few tunes here from CDPool

Alright ladies and gentlemen, got a few tunes here from CDPool. It's the global releases for November 2017. The idea behind this sort of demonstration is to give you a little bit of an insight into a nice kind of long smooth transition but at the same time structurally sound so as soon as we finish one tune we go directly to the next. And what we're trying to do here is keep the vibe going. Now, the global releases are for the sort of DJ who likes deep house, nice kind of soulful vibes. Okay, so this one here is Todd Terry, Bridget Barkan, King Aswad, Brighter. Hold on. Sorry, that's what it says there. Let me have a look. Oh God, this is funny. I love it. Come on, let's have a look. Okay. I just very quickly read off what was on the screen. Okay, Todd Terry, Bridget Barkham and King Aswell. There you go, a track entitled Brighter Days. It's one of my favourite tunes at the moment. It's just got so much balls. I mean, it's a beautiful deep track.

With that kind of lovely, crispy sort of vocals. It's got everything here. Have a listen. Just vibe all the way through, man. Okay. Now again, when mixing like this, you have to be very careful with the melodies. If the melodies don't work together, then it's going to sound terrible. So let's have a listen here. We have track number four from diff number two.

2:05 Definitely got more of an uplift with this tune as well, okay

Definitely got more of an uplift with this tune as well, okay. So let's go back to track one. Again, this being a demo and also a little bit of an insight into the CDs, I'm not going to be playing all the tracks all the way through, just sort of sound bites of them so you get an idea of what's on the twin CD. Don't forget as well, check out the link in the description. It will take you to the CDWall website. And I still need to get my tooth sorted at the front. Have a look. Look at that. Not very nice. But, thank God for a dentist, see? Okay. Right, let's go towards... We're not going to do a beginning and end mix here. Let's go after the break. Let it play. Now what I did there, I just brought this track in straight away on the count of one at the beginning of the break. Alright, so what I could have done to make it a little bit more easy

5:09 The track on the right, but on my headphones, okay?

Snaps in time as soon as we get the first kick on the drop. On the other one, it's to form a loop here. So have a listen first. Here we go. 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. OK, I've got a loop going. So let's go back to the beginning of that break. Now what I'm going to do when the break starts, I'm going to start... The track on the right, but on my headphones, okay? And then as soon as the drop comes in on the left hand side, then I can bring the track straight in, not start it at that point, get it beatmatched, hopefully it's in beat and then bring it in. So of course by having a loop playing on your headphones over the break, it means it's already in time. Slam it straight in. So let's go back again to here. Oh, sorry. This is now on my headphones, the loop. All I've got to remember is to come out of the loop as soon as the drop comes in. So drop comes in, start this one off, come out of the loop. There. And the rest you've seen anyway. Alright, track four, disc number two. Let's find something.

6:50 Disc number one to go with this little baby

Disc number one to go with this little baby. Track number two. Two bar loop there. Track number two, disc number one. Love does exist. Allegedly. Not, sadly though, to the people who like to make bombs. Those are the idiots. Ooh, yeah, track five, liking it. We're gonna go a little bit more deeper and like twangier with this mix. All right, let's swing this forward a bit. Here we go. Should work. Five disc. Number two, Ragga Twins. Man. See what I mean about these twin CDs? You know, they got balls, man. Oh, yeah.

9:41 Gonna finish off here with track number 13, disc two

Also shows you can do a mix just having to mess around with the two CDs. A bit more disco-y here. This is the track entitled I Need Your Love, the original mix, track number five from disc number one. This is the track here. Gonna finish off here with track number 13, disc two. Don't forget, check out the link in the description for CD4 and I'll finish off with practice and enjoy. Thank you very much.
