DJ Lesson and New Releases from CD Pool Global and Underground September 2013

0:00 Some more new releases for you from CD4 September 2013

Alright ladies and gentlemen, some more new releases for you from CD4 September 2013. King Off with track number one from the Global Releases 2013. If you want any info on these cuts check out the link in the description. Take it directly to your neighbour's house, just kidding, to cd4.com. This one here is Steve Silk Hurley, a track entitled The Word. Okay, just to make sure it's called, yes, The Word is Love. Track 1, Disc 1 and also these videos are about giving you some tips and tricks on mixing skills. So without further ado, let's find another tune. I'm going to pause that. Now first of all, mixing isn't just about beatmatching it perfectly. Sometimes mixing is about blending, blending the sounds, the feel, the vibe together. So I'm going to give you a demonstration of that right now. Now again, these videos are completely random so anything can happen and anything does.

This is the new boudoir by the way. So let's just go away. In fact, what we'll do, we'll go back to the beginning. Right, if we have a listen to that sort of vibe. Many things we could do here. I could play all this track and then maybe go set a cue point at the beginning of the track. No, because I talk very fast. Set a cue point at the beginning of the track, play all the track and then hit cue point and then bring in the second track at the beginning but I would have already played the first track all the way through because at the beginning of the first track I would have set a cue point before it even starts. Get it? Hopefully you do. Right, have a listen. So this is this right here. But the end is near enough exactly the same as the beginning so...

This is where we're going to mix a track in, but not mix it in. We're going to mix it in key, etc., but we're not going to mix it in time. So this track here, have a listen. As soon as I heard the first sort of melody, the first part, I thought, yes, it'll do it. Have a listen. So this actually starts on the and one, two, three. So it starts on the and, so one, two, or one, two, three, four, and one, bang, one, two, three. I like that sound. I want to bring that sound in to this one here. I don't want to just bung it in. What I want to do is add a bit of echo. So, my first thought is I need to make sure that this is in time. And I can do that by playing this one over here, the first track, and then using the tap function on DJM900 here. That means if I use the tap function, this...

Part of the track, the track that I'm bringing in, will be in time with this guy here. So we go back a little bit, press play there. So I'm just going to make sure we're on channel 3, we're on echo and... Sorry! I've got to press here. Do make fun. So we've got to make sure we press there. So now we're ready. This is now ready to take the first part of that track. Have a listen.

3:46 Again, tiny tip, how many ways are there of mixing tracks?

And again, there you go. Again what we could have done there, we could have maybe slowly taken the filter in or out so this track here slowly seeps out, echo in here to echo off, bring the track in. Alright, again, tiny tip, how many ways are there of mixing tracks? There are millions and millions and millions and once you've done the millions that there are, there'll be more because the slightest difference is a new way of mixing a track in. This one here as well is track number 1, UPZ featuring 4Mantic and Miss Dippy. Right, Miss Dippy. Fair enough. That tickles you, Dippy. Fancy little. Call yourself a Dippy, fancy tickle thingy. Right, let's try the one here. Very deep these tracks, the two tracks. Okay, what we're going to do here, track now, it's TS7, Charles...

5:59 What we'll do, we'll

Martel is track number six from disc number one. And this one here, what I feel will do, it'll actually lift the vibe. Now there's four major ways of doing mix. Number one is keeping it in key which will make the mix seem as though it's nice and steady. The other one is to make the mix higher. So maybe slightly higher in key that will lift your mix. Lower key will make the mix, the vibe feel lower. If it's active key, we just sound atrocious. Okay, so what we'll do, we'll... So I'm just going to find the point around that tier where you've got a bit of a break. Showing Robert Owens. As ever, he has got a style. If someone played his style, you could say it was originally done by Robert Owens. Start. Let's find something else here from disc number one. Slide it down when I was doing it.

10:40 I'm going to bring this bass up and I'll show you it

We're going to mix them in, but at the same time I'm going to come straight in. I'm going to bring this bass up and I'll show you it. There. Let's talk about a dog. Disc number two, the Underground Releases. And to show you the diversity of the styles on the Underground Releases, we're going to finish off with track number eight from disc number two, which is... It's actually shit hot, OK? The bass line on this one again. I saw a picture of Smack crackpot at those three of them. Smack featuring Sam Duckworth. Good forta. Do some more new releases.
