DJ Mixing Lesson & November Club New Releases from CD Pool

0:00 Some more new releases for you from CDPool

Alright guys, some more new releases for you from CDPool. This is the November Club Releases 2016. Now we're going to concentrate on two things here. One is listening of course to the tunes, but then the other one is doing a couple of transitions. This one here is track number 1, disc number 1. About as cheesy as you can get, but still got that club vibe. Track here entitled Sexual, track 1, disc number 1. Oliver Nelson remix. Okay, you can go to track number three which is pretty good. This one here is featuring Boy George of all people as well. Slightly more clubby here, more of that sort of ilk. Let's see what we've got on disc number two. This one here, track number one, disc number two. This here is entitled Say To Me. It doesn't say but it's on AATW.

2:17 It's got that nice kind of deep vibe

It's got that nice kind of deep vibe. It's that nice modern day sort of new house bassline. Love it. What I like as well about all the releases from CDPool, whether you get the club, the urban, the underground, the global, is each pack has got two CDs and the tracks are suitable to have a little mix just with the CDs themselves as well. Track four coming in from disc number one, Gemini Feed.

Chuck in a loop there and filter it out. Sometimes the easiest of transitions can be the best. A little bit of a loop over part of the melody of one track, bug it into the next tune, and then as soon as the drop comes in on the next tune, get rid of that loop. Because you don't want to leave anything from the other track. You just want people to forget about that one, bang, straight into the other one. Track number four here from disc number one.

4:33 We've gone pretty much from 123 to now 132

Okay, a drop there. Sudden drop simply because we're changing feel, changing vibe and also we're changing BPM as well. We've gone pretty much from 123 to now 132. This one here, track number 9 from disc number 2. Okay, it's gone to 149 now. Okay, again, this is a tutorial as well as a demonstration. Let's have a listen to this track. How can we count this? To the discerning ear, you know, that beats all over the place. Let me show you. Have a listen. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. Alternatively... 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. That's quite fast. That's why it's now showing up at 149 BPM. Carly Simon! Why in here? This is track 11. Okay, I just want to explain what happened there. The track itself, we went from track number 9, which was very fast, I reduced the speed and I had to increase the speed here on track 11, which was a lot slower. But, sorry, I increased the speed here on this to, I think it was about 137.

7:01 I don't really want that track to stay at that speed

Now, I don't really want that track to stay at that speed. I want it to go back to the original speed. So, I don't know if you saw that or if you heard it, but what I did, as soon as we finished the first phrase and we went into the little drop where we got a bit of a break, I quickly reduced the speed in a split second, just brought it straight down. Now, if you do it slowly, yeah, fair enough, people may not be able to hear. But sometimes, not always, if you do it really fast, just bang, speed straight down at a good point in the track, then no one will notice the difference. Alright, so close your eyes, have a listen and see if you can tell if I am going from 137 to 130. So that's quite a bit of a drop there. We're now at 139, let's have a listen. There, bang, did it! The BPM by 9 BPM. Okay, this one here is track number 11.

9:06 Let's bring in track number 12
