DJ Keep the Vibe BY Choosing the Correct Track to Bring into the Mix September Dance 2018

0:00 This is from the dance releases CD Pool September 2018

Right guys, in this video we're going to do an experiment. We're going to have an experiment online and you're going to give me the answer. Okay, at the moment I'm playing All Saints, a track entitled After All, the F9 club mix. This is from the dance releases CD Pool September 2018. Right, the objective behind this video is very simple. I have another 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 tracks. Now what I want to do, now I've selected these tracks because they're of similar key and feel. Well, sort of, they're definitely, they will mix in key but the feel is what I'm after. So what we've got, we've got this track here which is, it's got a nice sort of, I don't know, it's very get up and go. The imagery I've got is like a horse racing.

It's that racy kind of vibe, it's a good sort of solid energy. So just picture this in your mind.

It's got the feel of Magic Carpet Ride in the background. So what I'm going to do now is I am now going to play the other tracks and I want you to picture those tracks. Will they go with the All Saints tune? Now they will musically but have they got the same sort of feel? Now there is one track out of the rest of them that I know will because it's just got the same kind of energy. It's almost as though you do a mix and they were meant for each other. So let's try this Running Out Of You, this is the Cue Extended Remix. Have a listen to this one and see if you think this will work with the track I've just played.

Okay, let's go with the next one. This one here is How Does It Feel Extended Mix M22. Let's just pause that again. Go back. To the All Saints.

So you still got an idea of that. Okay, let's go back again to M22.

Okay, the next one Shifty K3Y a track entitled Entity I think it is. Okay.

2:58 10 Then this is a track

Okay, let's try the next one 10 Then this is a track entitled Just About The Extended Mix.

And then after I've done this, I'm going to explain to you what I feel about the tracks and the imagery and the feel they give me, and let's see if you're the same, who knows. Okay, let's pause that. Let's go back to All Saints again. Have a listen to that. And this is a really great way of getting that good mix together, not by just playing one track, forgetting about it and then going, yeah, well, that will mixes in key. We'll just chuck it together. What you want to try and do is you want to try and make sure that the energy of both tracks works even if they are exactly the same key, the same producer, the same artist, the same singer, the same band. They were drinking the same Coca-Cola the day they made both tracks.

It doesn't mean to say that those two tracks will have the same feel and vibe and transfer that vibe to the dance floor. Let's have a listen once again to All Saints.

5:08 I'm getting in the air

Chuggy, it's chuggy horse racing running is running on the horse. You're like this. That's what I'm getting there. That's the energy. Let's go back to 10 Then. Okay, let's try the next one. This is The End. This is The Lavish, a track entitled Hi, a bit more. Okay, the last one we're going to try is Tough Love. It's entitled Rain Dance, the extended mix. So let's have a listen to this one. Okay, this one here I'm getting floaty, happy, jolly, nothing wrong with it. All right, the next one here, The Lavish, where are we? Let's just go back to The Lavish and cue that one up. I'm getting here. I'm getting in the air. Euphoric, that sort of high energy track that you play main set. Whereas the All Saints is more that get up and go four to the floor kind of feel.

Okay, then let's go to 10 Then just about. So we'll play this one now. I'm getting very floaty. I'm imagining a garden with loads of flowers sitting there in the sun. So that isn't really where the horse ride comes in. It's all what a good image horse ride. All right, I'm going to try M 22. Let's have a listen to this one. Here we go. I'm just getting fluffy clouds here. Track here now the next one running out of you. The cue extended remix. Don't forget all of these you can have from the dance September 2018. Now again, I'm getting that tune main set of the evening almost. I'm picturing this like maybe the last set. You know, you just finished the cloudy, very euphoric. You've got that really good feel hands in the air now yet.

Thank you for joining in. Thank you for coming to the nightclub. Your next DJ is so and so goodnight. Take it easy. Boom. Things are falling all over the place here. The one I didn't play is the one I feel works. This is entity. I think it is Shifty K3Y featuring Amy. All right, check this out. This is the one I feel works with it. Have a listen. Now, straight away, it's got that kind of similar sort of feel to the beat. Listen. Oh, no, no. That one. Sorry. I then bloody 22. Then what a plonker? Here we go. Right. Am I getting the right one? Right. Yeah, here it is. Yes, here we go. Listen,

It's got that chug. Can you get me? See? Okay, so let's bring it in. Let's try it. Bridge. Okay. Let's move forward a bit. Maybe you beg to differ, all right? But it's about personal preference. But that was how I felt those tracks. That was my imagery of the two tracks. So in this sort of demonstration and a tutorial, try imagery in your mind. What image does a track give you? Does it give you a walk in the park? Does it give you a picnic? Does it give you someone painting a wall? Very boring color, Magnolia. Or does it give you something on a boat ride in a car? And then try and match those images with other tracks. Mix them together. See what you come up with. All right. Don't forget. Check out the link in the description to CD pool practice and enjoy.

Thank you.
