0:00 You're hearing a banging tune from the Global Releases April 2014 from

Alright ladies and gentlemen, you're hearing a banging tune from the Global Releases April 2014 from CDPool. But before we continue, this is track 6 from disc number 2. Over here is track 4 from disc number 1. Let's make a good mix, let's keep the vibe, let's go bang in people's faces. Alright, so first of all what I want to do, I want to bring in track 6 at the right point because I need to keep the vibe going. It's all well and good doing a beginning and end transition. You just have a beat, beat comes in or beat comes out from this one, beat comes in and away you go. What we need to do, instead of, if you imagine my hands as the beat and my arm and the wrist as the melody and the bass line and my arm here, wrist and arm, the melody and the bass line.

Instead of a mix like this where we have melody, bass line and then the beat in the middle going into another melody and bass line. And what we do, is we do something like that. We keep the vibe and we keep the melody flowing. That is what transitions like this are all about. So first of all let's have a quick preview. Track 4, disc number 1, Global Releases from CDPool April 2014. So this is track 4. Turn it up, hold on.

1:26 This is a vibe we tune

There's no like heaps of female vocals talking about how great they are on the dance floor and putting their hands in the air. This is a vibe we tune. Vibey, vibey, vibey. It's got energy. That's all it needs. Love it. So what I've done, I've set a cue point on this one here, hot cue so I know where my mix will take place. It's there. Now around about here, what I'm going to do is as soon as that break finishes, I have timed it correctly so my break comes in on this tune. So we have 8 bar break, we go from this break, boom straight into the other one and then that chugging deep vibe just carries on. It carries on with the flow, so here we go. Well that rhymes. Okay, so what I'll do, I will go from hot cue A, that's where my mix will start or no, I'll start again.

2:36 Talk, practice and enjoy

That's where I will start to mix my other track in. I won't necessarily start to mix it into the mix. So don't forget check out the link in the description, Global Releases April 2014 Garage at its best. Thank you very much. See you there. Talk, practice and enjoy.
