DJ Mixing Lesson and New Releases CD Pool Dance September 2015

0:00 Time for some more demonstrations and tutorials

Alright guys, time for some more demonstrations and tutorials. Also new releases from CDPool. In this video we're looking at the dance releases for September 2015. At the moment you're listening to track 1 on disc 1. If you want any more information on anything from CDPool or this CD then check out the link in the description. Also if you wanna know more info on these tracks Then just follow the link and you will find this CD on CDPool, also more soundbites of all of the tracks, not just the ones I'm playing. Track 1 from disc 1, the next one is going to be track 7 from disc 2. Okay, so what I've done is I've set a cue point at the beginning of the first break. The next track is Robin Schultz, the track entitled Sugar, it's the extended mix. I move towards the last part of this track.

2:24 This one here is track number five

Now this track doesn't finish with the beautiful last 32 bars of just a kick. You have got a bit of melody here. Now I did want to go on the hot cue there, so I'm going to do that again. Sorry about that. Okay, let's go back a little bit. I don't like editing my videos. Normally people would go, oh look, wasn't that good? Solve that, just let it play. Alright, so what I want to do is hit the hot cue. Two, three... Okay, what I like about the dance releases as well is they are very commercial. They're very sort of Ibiza and clubby style but then they've got a little bit more depth to them. This track may be on another CD, And it may be a completely different style. Or this track could be on some, like, 14-year-old's iPod and they're banging to it. All right. They're doing that to... You get what I mean. OK, so this one here is track number five. This is Oliver Helden and Sean Frank featuring Delaney Jane. Now, this one, again, epitomises...

The whole idea of the dance releases, because it's just got that nice, it's got that sort of chugging bass line. It's very soulful, but at the same time, it's got the club feel. Okay, I'm going to whang you forward a bit. You see what I mean about the bass line? He's got it, he's got it. All right, let's find something to mix in with this one from disc number two. Not that one. Not that one. That one.

5:24 This one here is track number 11

Maybe that one. Yeah. So, on occasion make a mistake and there's a clash of sound there, which means it's out of key. And that's when it sounds absolutely terrible. It could be in beat, it could be in time, it could be in perfect phrasing. But if it's out of key, it's going to sound a little bit dodgy. And a way to know if it's out of key, even if you don't know it's out of key, is if you're in the mix and you've got a dance floor full. In front of you, you will definitely see a change in the mood on the dance floor. So when you do mix, especially melodies together, you have got to make sure that they work perfectly together. This one here is track number 11. It's Will Young. It's not bad actually, fair dues. But again, a lot of it is down to the remixer or the DJ who has done the remix of the track. Okay.

7:47 This one here is track 7 from disc number 1

Okay, so this is track number 11, disc 2. It's out of key. Okay. Now let's go to about sort of... Alright, now let's do a mix that sounds absolutely terrible and you'll see what I mean. So here we go. So let's go back a little bit. So hopefully it'll be in beat, it'll be in phrase but it will sound crap. Okay, so... Do you see what I mean? About the clash. Not only did we have melodies clashing, we had vocals clashing, we had everything clashing. And if you did that kind of mix out in public, you would have inanimate objects literally being thrown at you, which is not a really good idea, especially for your health. This one here is track 7 from disc number 1. And also, doing a mix like that, you can make a really good tune sound terrible. I like this one. This one's a little bit wacky.

10:28 We'll try one more from disc number 1

Track number 14. Going to loop mode over there. If you're not doing anything next weekend, September 12th, 13th and 14th, go and check out the BPM show NEC. CD Pool will be there. And I will as well. CD Pool are opposite me. I'm on 106, A106. And CD Pool will be there. And quite often you can hassle them and they might give you a discount on some CDs. Robin and L.A. Baguette, featuring... Let's have a look here. What was it? Not two. Where are we? It's called Love Is Free. It's the original mix. You see, this is what I like about the CD pool people. Sometimes they pull out absolute stompers. I'm going to do this. Tune. Big tune. Now that bass line, I can imagine that on a big sound system sounding absolutely wicked. Alright, we'll try one more from disc number 1. Yeah. Also don't forget if you want any lessons by myself, one-to-one via Skype, then check out in the description there's an email, email me and I can always send you some more information. I'll finish off with track 11, disc 1, practice and enjoy. Boom. Actually I'll wang it forward a little bit. Hot Sauce featuring Crystal.

Loving you. Come to the BPM show, I'll be there. We've got ShowRay DJ, we've got CDPool, we've got DJ stands, we've got Light Console, we have got, what else have we got? OptiKinetics, I'm showing some of their stands. We've got V-Moder and also I will be featuring the new wireless headphones from V-Moder. And if you're not into wireless headphones, don't worry about it. The DJ Tutor offers a wide range of features, including Bluetooth enabled, battery inside which means you can walk around, you haven't got a nasty cable to tug around with you. But also what V-Moder have done is they have set the headphones up so if you do, which you can do with the new V-Moder wireless headphones, plug them in, you will miss all the gubbins for the Bluetooth and you'll go straight through to the headphones.

You can use them like normal headphones, but at the same time you can use them as wireless as well. Alright? Practice and enjoy. See you next weekend.
