DJ Tutorial and New Releases CD Pool Global and Underground Feb 2012

0:01 Another video for CDPool showing their new releases

Alright guys, another video for CDPool showing their new releases. Slight difference with this one, it's going to be demonstration, tutorial. I'm going to be demoing and playing some of the tunes from the underground releases and the global releases. This one here is track 1 from the global releases from CD1. That one over there, I don't know yet because... This is going to be done in real time, very random. And this would be the sort of way that you would let's say construct your mix. You would chop and change, you would mess around, you would try tunes, you would see how it flows, that kind of thing. Also, what I'm going to do in this video is show you what it sounds like when you add let's say twisted sort of techno beats into Soulful Garage.

A lot of people say that, oh, you know, you should only mix house. You should only mix soul. You should only mix techno with only techno, only house and only soul. My answer to that is sausages. What? Oh, sorry. No, we're having sausages later. No, my answer to that is that's rubbish. You should mix how you want to mix. Even if you're in a nightclub and they only say house This video is all about showing you the new releases. These new releases, by the way, are February 2012. This video could be quite long, I don't care. So you'll get hopefully tips, tricks, a few skills, a few cock-ups, but you know what? That's precisely what happens... When you're in your room and you're experimenting, I will put a lickable clink down there that will take you to the website. I will make sure I tell you track name, CD number etc so you know what to look for. So many people say, what was the CD? What was the number? Just listen to me. So I'll say this is track 2 or track 3 from disc 2 from The Global. So you go to the website and you look up track 2, disc 2 from The Global release and bingo!

2:16 This is track one from disc one from the underground releases

There it is. Right, this is track one from disc one from the underground releases. What I'm going to do now is try and find a soulful tune. By the way, this particular cut already reeks a bit of underground, soulful-ish. It's got that vibe. Let's try and find something that goes with it. A track entitled Show Me. Alright, what I'm going to do now is we're going to go back into maybe the global, more sort of, you know, the housey... Garage feel, but then after this one we're going to go back into the underground feel. So let's wang that in. So I've now got disc two in. Two! Dos! Dai! Er! Parity! Listen to your timing. One, two. The music, because the music is very simple. Listen. I'm thinking, right, maybe I don't want to wait, because we have got... Well no, I've got time, but I don't want to make this video like ten years long.

6:53 Of course, you wouldn't desperately try, you wouldn't be doing this li

I want to make it as short as possible but as... Right, okay, so let's have a look, have a listen. That is a good break. That's where, that's where I'm going to bring this in. Hold on. I'm going to bring that in over that point there. So let's go back to where this particular break starts. Alright, I'm just before where that part starts. So we'll wang that one on and we'll get this one ready to come in. Bearing in mind this is very rough, so of course when it's rough... It's real. Of course, you wouldn't desperately try, you wouldn't be doing this live. If you did it live and it was off a little bit, doesn't matter. If you did it live and it was continually off, just don't do it live. Ah, yeah, right, okay. Now you see there, that went on a little bit. That went on about two or three bars, not sure, maybe two, four bars. So what I should have done, I should have brought that one in, two or four bars into that break, so at that point where this went changed...

They would have changed at exactly the same time, therefore making it far better. Again, next time I do it, I would have done that. This is what you need to do. Right, back over here. Okay, track two from disc two, Underground releases February 2012. Don't forget, check it out in the lickable clink. Alright, now let's go into an underground. We're now going to take CD1. February 2012, don't forget it.

10:15 Tune, I can see this guy

And if you are 50, you can be a DJ. Get your ass out of bed and do shit. I'm not starting at the beginning. I'm just starting a little bit way through. My headphones off to make sure we hear this properly. You've just got to press the button. Don't put your finger over it because otherwise it won't start. No, I think that's right. I need the timing of the voice. Track one from disc number one. This is Kashii, spelled K-A-S-H-I-I. House Culture. Another very, very deep Tune, I can see this guy. This is nice. This is sweet. This is the sort of tune you find in the middle of the mix and people go floaty, floaty, floaty. This is two. Let's check something out. Completely different time scale here, but done correctly, it should sound very good. Let's hope I do it correctly. Alright, gonna have some echo. Three quarter time. Spend a bit more time in doing something like that, but a transition, a good transition does not have to be...

11:54 Beatmatch perfectly, the same time scale, etc

Beatmatch perfectly, the same time scale, etc. A good transition is all about finding a tune that works with another one. People are always saying, how do I mix hip-hop with house? You know what? Find a right tune and chop it over. This one here is The Global and we're putting in disc number 1 for February 2012 again. It's really difficult to know if I'm actually making it go backwards or forwards but it works.

I've put this one on here, this is from disc number one. This is track number six. Okay, what we're gonna do now, we try and do some sort of a garage mix, house mix. We chuck another global in. This one here is disc number two I'm putting in. On the left hand deck, press the cue on the left hand deck so I'm good to go with my headphones, I can listen. Oh my god! Supply music when you break. So transition between the bass lines. If let's say, on the other hand, There were lots of breaks there, then I would have chosen that track a little bit more carefully and mixed it in at a break, enabling the listener or enabling me to be able to transition, have a good transition between the one bass line and the other one. All right, so we've got five from the global releases. Let's plug another one in from this guy here. A bit of a dip in the music.

16:42 I'm gonna put this one to the brake dish

This one, wave format here is almost, it's not almost identical, it's not even identical at all because they're complete different tunes. But where it is similar is that the wave format is quite high, there's not much going on, there's not many breaks, there I am, there's not many breaks at all. So I'm gonna put this one to the brake dish. It's about here. That's where I'm gonna start to bring in this one. So I'm just not sure about this one but then again, I am experimenting. Is that a spin back? A spin forward?

18:28 Let's go back into an underground track, I reckon we should

Let's go back into an underground track, I reckon we should. I'm going to find in February 2012, this is one, the underground. Let's see what we can come up with here. We've got a nice vibe going on here, so what I want to do is I want to make this twisted. I want to say to the dancers, well you know what, you're chugging along quite happily and the ladies are there shaking their booty, like this man, you can't really see, it's a good job. God, what's going on here? It's a bit like someone's just chucked a pile of Semtex on the dance floor and it's gone bang! With dog poo inside it. What's going on? Right. Nearly sounded American then. Do beg your pardon. I will never sound American because the only people who sound American are Chinese. No, Americans. Sorry. Right, so let's play, press, play, hit that button. Might work, let's see. I might use that one. Let's spin back as well.

21:54 First, second track, practice enjoy

I wanted to emphasise the mid, so I increased the mid and I probably brought that up to about, yeah, three o'clock-ish. And then as soon as I finished spinning back, volume straight down and back. Of course you would have done that anyway. Now what I've done potentially, what I've showed you here, oh by the way, the track here, let me just play a little bit of it again, is track number 11. I'm feeling this one. Alright, if you're male, if you're female, if you're 18, if you're 20, If you're 27, if you're 30, 35, 40, if you're 70. And this makes the hairs on the back of your neck jump up, become a DJ. Even if it's just to be a DJ for yourself, be a DJ. Alright so what have we done here? We've had a mess around. Now if I was going to construct a set, I would do something like this 20 times with the same tunes. It would be a little bit like making a cake. Let's imagine you've got all the ingredients.

And you put the flour in first, then the sugar, then the milk, then the eggs. But maybe next time you put the eggs in, then the sugar, then the flour. Alright, yeah, there is a certain way of making a cake. What I'm trying to say here, very simple. Put the ingredients in in different times, different sections. Maybe track one, first track two, second track three, third. Maybe the second time, the third track put in first. The second track put in last. And the first track put in the middle. It may be better than the first time. Or the other one could be the other way around. Just open your mind and do stuff, alright? Practice and enjoy. I will put a lickable link down there that will take you directly to the CDpool site where you can get more information on these. There will be more tutorials and demos coming up. And also thank you very much for the comments on the last video about the HD thing. That's sort of the big news. What I intend to do from now on is only do my videos in good quality. This hopefully is good quality so you can see all me marks and you can see my beard and stuff like that.

My bloodshot eyes. Practice and enjoy, thank you. Get that chicken out of here!
