DJ Mixing Lesson CD Pool Dance New Releases November 2015

0:01 Oh dear, you've got to laugh

Alright guys, it's another New Releases for you and also a bit of a DJ tutorial as well. In this New Releases from CD4 we're looking at the Dance Releases for November 2015. A collaboration of cheesy house tunes with loads of female and male vocals for your handbag posse in the house. These are the sort of tunes where you walk on the dance floor and you fall over from all the bags on the floor. I just thought what I said then actually. Handbags. Oh dear, you've got to laugh. No, I'm not going to do this one again. I'm going to let it roll. I'm going to let it roll. I don't care. Do what I want, you see? All right. Kicking off. Kicking off with track seven from disc number one. Don't forget, check out the link in the description. It'll take you to CDPool. Oh, hold on. Mike McGoo, D-Pool have the original mix. Okay. Now also in this video...

1:44 Someone, though, is going to have, hopefully, for Christmas

This is not the video to post your comments to about what I'm about to say, but that there is the Newmark NV. It's Serato DJ enabled and I am going to be giving this away as my 2015 Christmas giveaway. The giveaways are only for UK only. That's Ireland, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Scotland, Wales and the United Kingdom. Someone, though, is going to have, hopefully, for Christmas. If not for Christmas, then they will know by Christmas that they'll be getting that. It's the Newmark Envy all-in-one DJ controller, OK? It doesn't come with a laptop. You have to have your own laptop. But I am going to be giving this away. I'm going to be doing another video very shortly explaining how you can get this possibly free

For free, gratis and for nothing. So, along with all your cuddly toys and teddies and handbags, you could be getting the Newmark NV free gratis and for nothing this Christmas. Track seven, let's find something from disc number one. Let's try and find something from disc number two right now. I'll call the talk over. Okay, let's go towards the end of this track. This is track number five from disc number two, Olimar's Kiss Me. Now again, The dance series is, it's about flamboyancy. It's about full-on cheesy houseness. You know, these are the sort of tracks you would expect to hear in a fun bar before going to some super club. You do not want to have on the dance releases the deep and underground soulfully just techy kind of stuff. This is for the full-on party mood. I can picture the people who produce these songs

Wearing a full head of makeup and glittery costumes, and just look at me driving in pink Porsches. Okay, sorry if I've offended anyone there. All right, track five, disc number two. Find something on disc numero uno. Trying to find something that will work well with the track that's playing. Beginning and end mix doesn't really mean you're gonna be mixing right at the beginning of the tune I'm right at the end of the other track. Track 14 here, disc number 1. What I did is I chose a point that I felt was a suitable point to bring in the track at the end of the other track, which is here. Now, I'm looking at this track here and if I go to the beginning of the track, the entire track is 5 minutes 32 seconds, but I started it past here, first break there. So I started it here.

And I started my mix there because quite often with tunes, long tunes, you have an intro and an outro that could just potentially be a beat. If you want to try and keep more of a flow... Sorry, Mixer and I, you know, marital problems. Been seen and done it. Cost me £37,000. Anyway, that's another story. Would you like a marshmallow? Okay, right, calm down. So... What I'm trying to do is take away that sort of blank moment in a mix where you've just got that beat from an intro and an outro. Move more into the track so you're coming, you're starting... Take that thought out of my mind. So you're starting the mix when there's something going on in the track. I hope you follow me there. Okay. Track 1, disc number 14.

7:42 Featuring Nile Rodgers, Boomerang

M.E. featuring Nile Rodgers, Boomerang. If you don't know who Nile Rodgers is, then who the hell's Chic, of course? Okay, what I'm going to do now, again, this is a tutorial as well. We've got a bass line there that finishes sort of about here. The last 16 bars, there. I'm just going to set a hot cue. Do I know where it is? No, not there. That's pretty much where the bass line starts on here. No. I would say that's going to be the 16th, 8th. It's definitely not 8. Oh, wrong track. Stop doing that with me. No, I don't want that one. I want this one. Bear with me. It's going to be 16. Okay, I just put it too wide so I could get there a little bit quicker really. It's a little bit like driving a Mini all the way to the airport which is 500 miles away and taking forever and having to stop or getting in a Porsche and getting lots of speeding tickets. You still get there quicker though. Don't speed. So, I've got a C.

Go back a bit. Decided to take my clothes off, which... Okay, track number 10 here from disc number 2. Okay, we'll take a couple more. What number? You choose a number. Anything from 1 to 14. Okay. Okay, this is a perfect... Shut up. This is a perfect example of bringing another track in halfway through. What are we doing here? No, I didn't want that. I wanted that one. There. Hold on. There. Now, I'm going to set a hot cue on that point there.

15:09 Finish off track number 13, disc number 2, Verse

That was in reverse mode as well, so what I'm doing, when I'm pressing the hot cue, I'm starting from the beginning of the phrase in forward mode. But when I hit reverse and press the hot cue, I'm starting from the hot cue position, but I'm reversing through the track. OK, so... There. This one here is Charlotte Devanery featuring Snoop Dogg, a track entitled Flip It. Which is track number 5 from disc number 1. What we're going to do now, we're going to go from something easy, happy or lucky, to something that's a little bit more deep. It's got that sort of, it's almost like a club tune but it's still got that dance kind of cheesy feel. Finish off track number 13, disc number 2, Verse. Lights, the Baker Max extended mix. Thank you very much for watching, it's always a pleasure, a bit of fun.

And what I'm trying to do is show you the new releases. There's more there, don't forget, check out the link in the description. If you go to the dance releases page on cdpool.com, check out November 2015, you can listen to these tracks and all of the others as well. Don't forget, very soon, in fact maybe later on tonight, there will be a video on how someone can get this

New Mark NB for Christmas 2015. It will only be for UK residents, I'm afraid, but pay attention, watch, practice and enjoy. That's a talkover.
