0:00 Few tips and tricks

Alright folks, some more new releases for you from CDPool. In this video we're looking at club releases for July 2009. Bit of a demo, bit of a tutorial and also showing you the new releases from this particular issue. In this video as well, show you a few tips and tricks. Track 1 taken from disc number 1. Let's do a bit of a skip beat here. Right, what I'm going to do, I'm going to set a cue point on this track. Let's just go back a bit. Just on the beat. Here is a straight forward mix. So I'm going to grab the end of this track and mix it in with... The beginning of this track. Let's just put this forward to about the middle. Some tracks, yes, you would associate with playing at nightclubs in the world but sometimes just to beatmatch it isn't necessarily good enough but sometimes, you know, sort of works. Again, people think mixing is like, well, you get one track, chuck it in the other. There are so many ways of doing it. Track 1 taken from disc number 2. I'm going to set a cue point and use the reverse mode. Let's do it there.

4:13 Bit of fun, innit?

Now again, of course, logically you can't do this while you're doing a set, so make sure you get it perfect. There. So, mix again. Cheaper, there you go. Bit of fun, innit? Alright, track number four, taken from disc number one. And again, if you make a mistake, just admit it. Don't go, oh, it was brilliant, it was brilliant. If it sounds shit, it sounds shit. Parts of this beat. So almost like a bit of a tubeless would go from one side to the other. There's a break there with mixes, but if you've got a whole bunch of new tunes, And you're using them for the first time. This is, in a sense, sometimes the sort of thing to do. Have a good old experiment. Imagine you're in school and you've got loads of those funny-like green and yellow and orange kinds of liquids and you chuck them all together and they go bang! Sometimes this will go bang, sometimes it'll go fizz, sometimes it'll go pop. Whatever it does, it'll always make lots of noise. With the likes of normal house music, it's very 4-4 time. So where mixing is concerned, theoretically, if you choose the tracks correctly...

9:05 One, two, three, four

You should get a nice, smooth transition from one to the other. Very different to the likes of, say, breakbeat, etc., where you can sort of mess around and jig about with the beats more, and hopefully I'll be able to do some of that when I get some of that sample music. Counting for bars. Where to start counting the bars? Listen to how the music is, listen to how the vocals are. Quite often the vocals, the way the music is, the bassline, will all be associated with the bars, with the counting 1-2-3-4 as follows. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Let's bang it forward a bit. I'm going to take the mid out, bring the mid back in, going off beat, headphones at the ready. Okay, track number seven taken from disc number one. We'll try one more from disc number two. Don't forget this is a Club Releases CDPool UK. Follow the link in the description. That will take you to the website. July 2009. You never know, you might be watching this a year from now and think, crikey, I've always been after that track. Well guess what? You know where to get it from now, don't you?

Marks out of 10, slowly take the mid out of there. Don't forget to enter the 10 minute mix as well. Track number 7 here taken from disc number 2, club releases, practice and enjoy.
