Do your own re-mix, using the same toon!

Lesson Intermediate Stage 6: Performance Technique November 2007

Contents of the video

Alright folks, in other videos what we've done is what's known as a mashup whereby we've had two different songs, we've put those together to almost make a third song. Very important, need to be in beat, also need to have the same key which is just as important. This time now what we're going to be doing is having what's known as a double pack, 12 inch. If you don't use vinyl and you use CDs, no problem. If you've got say the latest house mix of a certain track, you'll notice on that CD you could have five or six different mixes. What you need to do, I'm pretty sure, don't quote me on this, you're legally entitled to copy that CD on your PC and use it for backup purposes only. Okay, then all you need to do is you need to have the original CD in one of the turntables of your CD player and the copy in the other one. Right, so near enough what I've got here now is a double pack. What we're looking at today is Johnny Corporate and a track entitled Sunday Shouting, okay? Now then, what I'm going to be doing is basically utilising all the mixes from this particular track and making up my own mix. So for example...

If on this turntable here, the one 12-inch, there's a one mix, one side, one the other side, that's two. This guy here, there's two this side and one the other side, that's three. Three and two is five, but theoretically I can make six because I can bring another one in, I can also automatically bring another dimension into this song that no one else can do. This is the beauty of this concept, okay? Think about it. 212s, lots of mixes, okay? You and only you will be able to do this mix because you're doing it here live. No one else can do it. They may be able to copy you but it will always be that slightly little bit unique. I will give you a demonstration. This isn't the world's best demonstration but it will actually give you an idea on the basis of what you can do if you practice. Okay, here we go. There you go folks. I had to cut it short because I didn't have much time left.

So, practice and enjoy, and don't forget, ladies and gentlemen, DJTutor.com, okay? It's growing by the day, so speak to you soon. Thank you for watching. Bye-bye.
