DJ LESSON Tutorial on adding small amounts of another tune in to the mix

0:00 This tutorial is about giving the crowd something before they've even

Alright ladies and gentlemen, this tutorial is about giving the crowd something before they've even got it. We're going to give the crowd a bit of a tune before they get the tune. I'm going to play a track, I'm going to give the crowd an idea of what to expect, but then not play it, play something else, and then play what they thought they were going to get, but they're going to get it later than sooner. Let me show you. Right, first of all the tracks I'm using is Silence Is Talking, this one here. Now also I've used this because it's a bit, the sort of beat is a bit like Firestarter, it's sort of a breakbeat kind of track. It's not house, breakbeat.

We've got Xenia Banks as well.

0:58 It's by Phonat, P-H-O-N-A-T

And then I set two cue points. And the other track is this one here, which is a track in South Setley Free, it's the original mix. It's by Phonat, P-H-O-N-A-T.

Okay, so what we're going to do, this is a rough kind of idea. You would of course set the BPM a lot better, use your headphones, etc. So let's imagine now that we've got this track playing.

What I'm going to do now, I'm going to take away the bass from the deck. I'm going to incorporate Xenia Banks. The thing is there. Hey, I can be the answer. It's slightly off beat, so you don't want to bring it on the count of one because it would be off beat. But if you do bring it in on the count of one and only use a little bit, it will sound in beat. I'll explain, I'll show you. Phone is it? Oh, bloody phone. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Hey, I can be the answer. Are you ready to dance with me? You can see that sounds off. But if I bring it in on the count of one but only have a tiny amount, it actually sounds on. Because I'm not using a lot of... So I'll give you a demo of that.

Two, three, four. Three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

3:04 Off beat in the right time signature

Now off beat in the right time signature.

Whoops.

I'm going to go Xenia Banks.

So again, very rough, but it's about practice. What you're doing is you're just doing a bit of a mashup. You're incorporating a tiny bit of one track, but you're not even playing it. It's a little bit like Gucci Gucci teasing the crowd. People like this kind of thing. Practice and enjoy.
