2:21 Track 2 from the Underground releases, CD4 May 2017, CD1

In say like a three month period. Now I teach any time, UK time, GMT, Greenwich Mean Time, Greenwich Mean Time from 9 in the morning till 8pm in the evening. So even if you're in Australia it doesn't matter because I can get going early in the morning and it's pretty much night time where you are. Alright so get in touch and let's start to mix together alright. Track 2 from the Underground releases, CD4 May 2017, CD1. Find something here, I think it's yeah, track number 10 from CD2. Let's have a listen, here we go. In phrase, put a loop on that side. Phrasing, a lot of people seem to think that a phrase is 8 bars. It could be 4 bars, it could be 16. But really the producer You know, the producer may have decided to do 8-bar phrases, or 4 bars, or 16. I'm going to build this one out. We're in a loop and we're at the break. Also, maybe you want to know how to mix on CD players, no problem. Maybe you've got a controller, no problem at all. Or even vinyl, old school vinyl. Now that's a lot more difficult, but I do have vinyl turntables as well so we can set them up. Old school vinyls, I mean, that is a classic.

Now that is an absolute classic, Eric B and Rakeem paid in full from like 1987-88 but you can still play that today and it drops big time. Alright this one here is track number 10, this is number 2. This has got like really nice kind of grimy sort of bassline, love it, love it. It's almost got like that old school kind of like late 90s deep sort of rolling bassline With a modern day skiff beat style, you'll love it. Alright, track number 10 from disc number 2, CD Paul, Underground, May 2017. I think I've already said, but there will be a link to CD Paul in the description. Okay, we'll come out of that loop. Okay, slight key change there as well, so we're going to drop that one out and come into track number 4 from disc number 1.

6:12 You noticed earlier on I was using the hot cues

Now you noticed earlier on I was using the hot cues. So, the beauty about the hot cues is even though the track is playing 1, 2, 3, 4, using the hot cues you can sort of start it at 2 and 1 and 3 and 4 and pretty much you can mash the damn thing up. That's the beauty about modern day technology. It's not like a vinyl turntable where you start it and you've got to very cleverly lift The needle off a piece of vinyl. Now, you can just drop it practically anywhere. Okay, this one here is Drum Machine Rinse by FTSD Dyslexic. The words jump around all over the place and it's terrible. Dyslexia is a pain in the ass.

7:34 Finished, if I hadn't have put the loop in

This is the end of this track, we're going to lift the vibe a little bit. Finished, if I hadn't have put the loop in. Fresh and gate now, or gate. Okay, track number two from disc number two. Come on then. As well. It's at what age you are. It does not matter what age you are. If you've got a passion for music, if you've got a love for music, if you listen to a tune and you can't help tapping your feet, become a DJ. The DJ Tutor. A lot more mellow, but it just shows you what you can get on the underground too. The underground is like very experimental twisty bendy kind of sound. It could be something happy and energetic or it could be a sort of a really deep techy sound. Alternatively, you could just get, which I will show you now, some slamming D and B. So, anything happens. It's like...

10:38 I mean, after this video, I might just go for a swim

It's like chaos, really. I love chaos. I love madness. Do you know what? I hate normality. Normality is boring. I like just to be, I don't know, just like eccentric. I mean, after this video, I might just go for a swim. I mean, it's very cold in the sea at the moment, but just jump in and just go boom. Actually, that's probably not a good idea because it would be very cold. It's not the summer yet. I'll just go for a bike ride later. Alright, let's find a D&B tune over here. Nice kind of skip vibe to this. This one here is a track entitled White Flag. Don't forget as well, so many times people say, what's this track, what's that track? In every single, or pretty much I would say the CD4 videos for the past 10 years, I've always said, what track number...

What CD? So what you've got to do is follow the link in the description, go to, for example, Underground May 2017 and just look at the tracks. Of course on the website you can listen to every single track, there's like a little soundbite so not only these tracks, every single track you can listen to them. Okay. Finish off with this, this is Rag & Bone Man, a track entitled Skin. The Milkson Remix. So this is a bit of DMV for you. It's got that commercial kind of vibe, but still, it's got balls. It's got big, like, boom. And like I said earlier, get in touch if you want some lessons from myself. My lessons are wacky and mad, but I promise you this, I will either make you a better DJ or I will get you mixing.

Big time, so get in touch.
