DJ Lesson on Mixing Different Styles and BPM's yet Still Keeping the Flow, Vibe

0:00 Another demonstration stroke tutorial on mixing one track into the oth

Alright ladies and gentlemen, another demonstration stroke tutorial on mixing one track into the other. First of all, if you are in your country legally entitled to drink alcohol, that is good stuff. I absolutely love it. It's called Gromanier. It's a liqueur and it's nice to have a little nip now and again. Alright, two tracks I'm using is Busta Rhymes' Thank You and we've got Sandstorm by Darude. The reason I'm using these two tunes, let me just put that over there like that, is because if I tried to beatmatch them it would sound terrible because I'd have to speed the Busta Rhymes up, I'd have to slow down the Sandstorm, be all over the place. The whole idea behind this particular tutorial is to show you how you can mix tunes with the sound.

Not beatmatch them, just the sound. The sound of the particular track. So this will not apply to all tunes, but it will apply to a lot that have got a certain tone before the actual beat starts. So I'll play you the Darude track. You can hear that? And here is Busta Rhymes.

This is fat. This is a roller.

Okay, we'll try and mix them in first of all. So what I'll do, bring it in sort of...

Right, have a listen. This is funny but there you go.

1:50 What we're trying to do here is mix different genres but keep the flow

Horrific, horrific. But that's not what we're trying to do. What we're trying to do here is mix different genres but keep the flow. The main emphasis of this video is keeping the flow. So I need you to use this sort of technique or... Try and expand on this technique with different genres. Mixing different genres with different genres. So, Busta Rhymes.

Got that.

The key here is the key.

I will put a link to this tune on YouTube where you can go and check it out. It's a fact.

3:21 It's strange, it's weird but it isn't

Okay, so this is the break at the end. All right. It was a mix but it wasn't a mix. It depends what you feel a mix is. It was a mix musically but it was not a mix beatmatchingly. Same BPM. That was that. This is this. Tunes music. Universal. We are universal. You are you, you have the right to listen to what you want to listen to. Don't be taken in by people out there bombarding you with stuff you need to listen to. You need to enjoy what you want. Open up. Be who you are. Be what you want to be. Say what you want to say and do what you want to do. It's very big and very deep. But I have this feel. That a lot of radio stations out there are making you play what you're playing. A lot of radio stations out there are making people listen to stuff they don't really want to listen to.

It's strange, it's weird but it isn't. It's as simple as this. You have a choice. You have a choice of enjoying the music you like. You have a choice to listening to what you want to listen to. If you take those two times. If you take those two tiny little sentences. Then, and everyone did that. And everyone took those two tiny little sentences and put them inside here. Then we would be listening to a lot better music instead of the same old crap. That a lot of radio stations play again and again and again. And they do. They play them again and again because the more they play them the more you like them. The more you like them the more chance there is of you buying them. And the more chance there is of everyone else liking them.

It's just an ongoing cycle. Like I said earlier. Be who you want to be. Do what you want to do. Play what you want to play. Practice and enjoy.
