0:00 I'm checking out some new releases for you from CDPool

Alright ladies and gentlemen, I'm checking out some new releases for you from CDPool. We're looking at the global releases but with a difference. We have global releases for June and also global releases for July 2013. Kicking off with track number one from disc one from June 2013. Over here. Global, funky, soulful, house, sometimes minimalistic, very deep. Not the cappy, easy-go-lucky sort of like cheesy singing. There's a little bit more effort into a bit of soul which is rather good. We're going to go into track number two from disc number one from July 2013. Follow the link in the description, it will take you to the CD4 website. Just pause that. Again, sometimes I like to do some tutorials in with the mix or with the new releases, sorry. Right, I found two tracks that probably go really well with the cut that's playing. What I'm going to do, I'm gonna sort of edit part of one of the tracks in

So we have a small feel of a new song over this track that's playing, but I'm not going to play that track. I'm just going to go straight in to a completely different track. So the track I'm editing in is going to be track three from the July 2013 CD1, but I'm going to chuck in, I think it was track number six. So here's track six, but I'm going to edit in track number three.

4:10 What I'm doing is I'm only bringing the part in where it goes

Because that sound, that first kind of, first fraction of a bar will work really well with this here. So again, tutorials. What I'm doing is I'm only bringing the part in where it goes... A little bit bad to me though. Of course I can make it a little bit better instead of pressing the cue, waiting for that point to come in then bringing the volume up. Why don't I just get to that point with a hot cue and just bring it in anyway. So we'll do that now. Sorry. What I'm trying to do here is think outside the box. Again, these videos are very random and this is sometimes where good ideas will happen. It's when you just start thinking there and then. Sometimes it's good to plan, of course, but quite often it's a very good idea to come in with a whole new idea. No, sorry, let's start again. Just no idea and just get into it and see what happens. Okay, track number six.

7:36 From disc number one, Global, July 2013

From disc number one, Global, July 2013. Track number six from disc number one, June 2013. This track, so what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna wait, hold on, let's go towards the end of the track. Yeah, these two bass lines, they may very well work. Over each other, and quite often it's not a good idea to put two bass lines over each other because there's too much going on. But the bass line on this track is a little bit lower than the one on this side here. The track I'm going to be bringing you is track number 9, Global, July 2013, disc number 1. So, we'll take out disc number 1 from June 2013 and we're going to put in disc number 2, June 2013.

10:51 Track number two, disc two, June 2013

Okay, track number two, disc two, June 2013. And we've almost got like a really old school kind of housey vibe coming on here, so... Let's see what happens. Right, I'm just going to listen to the break here. Yeah. I'm going to bring the beginning of this track over that break. Now again, with a lot of dance music you tend to have your normal 8-16 bars and just a beat. This one we've got a bit of a bassline going on as well. So I'm going to bring that in over the break here. Something on Facebook about four or five days ago. I had a load of tunes, I used the software called Rekordbox from Pioneer and put it on an SD card. What I wanted to do then was take all of those tracks, sorry a thumb drive beg your pardon, I wanted to take all those tracks off the thumb drive and just put normal files on. And it took forever and I was really pissed off thinking it takes forever, why does it take forever? Well I have to say now it had nothing to do with the Rekordbox software, it was my own fault because I used...

20:10 Coming in to track number six, disc two, July 2013, global release

Thank you for watching. Back to the music, thank you. Coming in to track number six, disc two, July 2013, global release. Disc number two. It's number nine. Nice one. Disc number two is for you as well. Doing your set, bass mid-treble. Two ways of doing it. One is like this. Or the other one is give me some entertainer.
