DJ Lesson on Chopping in Bhangra Dance Music by Ellaskins the DJ Tutor

0:00 Is a mixing technique that pretty

Alright guys, what I'm about to show you is a mixing technique that pretty much covers all genres and styles. I just happen to be using some banger for you. Two tracks I'm using is Na Jan Ni Iman and I will endeavour to put the names, titles and description in the description. But let's first of all have a listen to the two tracks. Now you'll notice this one as well. It sort of goes from a housey vibe into a bit of hip hop.

Go back a little bit, there's that poppy vibe and then it goes back into a house tempo. I'm just going to pause that up. Let's have a listen to the track I'm going to mix in.

Now, if you're not brilliant at beatmatching, this is a great way to do it. This is a great way of forming some transitions that will work. And I'll prove that. What we'll do, I'll put pitch up there, pitch down there, so they're not beatmatched now. So if you haven't listened to this one, just pause that. Just knock this one back a little bit to the first kick.

1:34 You and think you're either very

There you go. So 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. Alright, let's play this one. 2, 3, 4. 1, 2. This is going to sound terrible now, but this is to prove a point. 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. I mean, it does sound terrible, but it doesn't. The sounds work, but if you were to do that sort of transition in a working environment, people would probably look at you and think you're either very, very drunk or very, very stupid. So, if you can't beatmatch to save your absolute life, you can always do a transition like this. So, I'm going to find... In this track, the beginning of a bar, but more importantly, the beginning of a phrase where the music changes. And it's as though it goes on to another block in the track itself. Let's just have a listen.

This is Baki Saab, DJ Pradeep. You see, there's no point in me trying to even begin to sort of say the name to the title artist. Because I'm just, like, sounding really silly, aren't I? I mean, have a listen there.

3, 4... See, that's the beginning of a phrase because we have the beginning of someone singing. I have noticed with a lot of Bangor-style music is that you'll have a phrase and you'll have maybe one bar or even half a bar where there's, like, this little introduction into the next phrase. So, there are tiny differences, again, with certain styles of music. But let's have a listen to the beginning again. Right, let's play our first track.

4:03 I do apologise if I get them slightly wrong, apart from being dyslexic

Right, yeah, there. Let's do that again.

A very simple transition, but what I'm doing is I'm just chopping one track into the other. As proved earlier on, the BPMs are completely off. But I hope that's been a help. And I will put the names of the title and artists in the description. I do apologise if I get them slightly wrong, apart from being dyslexic.

Yeah, I'll do my best. Write down exactly what's on these files. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.

Thank you.
