0:00 Some more new releases, CDPool

Okay, some more new releases, CDPool. These are the club releases November 2019. Now this is a remix of the classic track from the 90s, Delacy Hideaway. Now, to begin with, when I first heard this in the van a couple of days ago, I was like, no, no, it's not happening. You can't remix a classic track like that. It's a little bit like someone trying to do the remix of Little Louie French Kiss. It can't be done because Little Louis French Kiss is Little Louis French Kiss, Robert Miles' children. I mean, you can't remix those tracks because they're sort of meant to be left alone. Same as this. But the more I hear this, I'm thinking it's got that sort of kind of bite to it. It's got that attack, a little bit more hard hitting but at the same time it's still got the soul of the original.

1:55 Let's find something else

Oh, something else I found earlier on while messing around with the XDJ-RX2. Everything I'm about to do now you should be able to do on all the Pioneer kit, maybe some other kit as well. I've got the Echo on. I'm going to tap in time. I'm going to engage the Echo. Check this out. What was happening there, it was almost keeping the original track in the background but at the same time filtering the Echo as well. With new technology like this, or relatively new technology, I'm always finding out new things. And just because a player like this has filter, sweep, dub echo and noise doesn't mean to say that that's all it's got. Because you can add other parts of the effects to the effects to get a new effect, if that makes sense. Alright, let's find something else. That was sneaky.

Okay, so what I did there, let me just cue that up. Okay, everyone's probably going to be thinking, yeah, all right, you knew what you were going to do. I didn't. I brought in a random track. It happened to work in key. I found that, or I started at the beginning of the break. Have a listen. Now, one, two, sorry, one, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. And then all I did, I thought out loud. Well, actually, otherwise you'd have heard me. I thought while I was doing that, well, why don't I add a bit of an echo to it as well? Now if you think about it, this is on the one. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Now let's just do an experiment here. Let me show you something. This is a good way of practicing as well. So I'm just going to now, the beginning of DeLacy, just get a very simple loop. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Got a loop going there now.

4:40 One, two, three, four

All right, so that's the one. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Now what I'm going to do is not just bring the crossover over on the one, I'm going to bring the crossover on maybe the two or the two and a half or the three. But I'm going to press the cue on the one so the track on the right-hand side that I have set up on the one will be in time... with the other track so what i'm doing i'm sort of editing in parts of the uh the vocals not just that you are the you know there that's boring i want to make this more interesting so here we go be thinking well you can do that another way which you can okay so better demonstration there so let's use that part of the track And let's just go a little bit further into sort of Delaty Hideaway. Let's go sort of, I don't know, to about, yeah, let's go towards the end. Okay, so what we've got now is how it feels. Get something else. This one here, slight change there in vibe. Definitely this one here is entitled Intoxication. It's the original mix. These videos are demonstrations, tutorials, but also showing you...

9:04 Description of this video there

What you can expect to get on the downloads and also the twin CD. So I never play all the tracks, try not to ever play it in proper stereo and just play some random parts of a random selection of the downloads for that month. And if you're a first-time user or if you want to be a first-time user of CDPool, if you go to the description of this video there is a code And if you use that code, a first-time user, you'll get 50% off your downloads, okay? Check in the description. All the relevant information is in there for you. Let's go towards the end of this. Love Me Again coming in. Okay, we do one more. Let's have a look. Here's The Teacher. Sounds good. This one here, Love Me Again, the Redfield remix. Oh, hold on. I've got an idea here.

11:35 From the beginning of Music Is The Teacher

From the beginning of Music Is The Teacher. Sweep on this, right hand side, come out of the loop on the left, half that loop. Okay, Music Is The Teacher Club Extended Remix. That's it for this video. Thank you for watching. Don't forget, check out the link in the description. It will give you information on how, if you're going to be a first-time user of CD4s, how you can get 50% off the first month's downloads. Practice and enjoy. Nice tuners. I have to admit, in the van I did listen to one of the CDs from the November series, the club series, but I didn't listen to all the tracks so this is sort of a first time for me as well. Practice and enjoy, thank you.
