How You Can Get an Old School Music DJ Collection Without Having to Spend Days Looking

0:00 Time, music, whole bunch

Right ladies and gentlemen, on the odd occasion, in fact most of the time, I like to keep my videos rough, raw, straight to the point, a bit old school. So, well, I mean, we all wake up in the morning and rub our eyes, don't we? We don't wake up in the morning and just jump out of bed like a superhero and go, here I am, hooray! Anyway, so as you do or maybe you don't know, I do a lot of videos for CDPool. Okay, simply because I've been with them for a very long time and I like their way of not only sort of just bringing out music, but how they put together great compilations and at the end of the day as well, they save the likes of you and me a lot of time by just getting, for example, this month's dance tracks together or house or so on.

Alright, they may only take a fraction of what's out there, but if, like me, you've decided to do some sort of set and you've gone to a website and you've spent hours and hours and hours to find five tracks, you know exactly what it's like. Time is money and so on, so they maybe take the time away for you so it's done. Anyway, what I want to talk about here is old school music. Now, if you are a new DJ and this really, this video is targeted for the new DJ who wants to maybe become in the future soon. We hope a, by the way, this video is being uploaded in January 2021 so you'll know where I'm coming from. If you want to be a DJ in the hopefully near future where you can play old school music, but you do not have a big array of old school tracks and you're a bit worried because you could,

Go to an event and someone could ask you for some outlandish track that's probably on a seven inch single that you can't buy anymore because it's just not there or you don't really want to download it from YouTube because the sound quality is going to be shit, then what do you do? Let me show you. Okay, so I have got a whole bunch. There is a twist to the end of this video, so don't worry about it. I have got a whole bunch of CDs from CD pool. Now these are known. As the essential series, first of all. Okay, so both of these series are great for a mobile DJ who wants to let's say not only increase their collection old school styley, but what you want to do is you want to get the cream of the crop now even before I start,

3:06 Track, older generation, eyes closed

You see this is the deal if music production manufacturing of tracks was stopped to day this second, it would take you a million lifetimes to listen to every single track that has been made from now until let's say recorded music was started. We're starting to be made. Sorry, but your bum, it would take you at least a million lifetimes because every day there's thousands of tracks being made. Not only you've got one track, you've got the remix of the track, you've got the editor of the track. So if you had to listen to every single one, you'd it would just take forever. Now let's take that on board and let's imagine that you don't want to listen to every single track. What you want to do is you want to get hold of a very good collection of old school music.

So, you know, you don't have to sort the wheat from the chaff as they say right in that case then let's have a look first of all if you want to start going into the commercial old school side of things. So, I mean for example, let's have a look Abba average white band Barry White the Bee Gees Brothers Johnson Cheryl Lynn the Commodores Dan Hartman down Hartman. Sorry Donna Summer do be brothers the emotions the foundations Frankie Valley in the Four Seasons the Gap Band. Okay? Now, these are tracks that a lot of the older generation or the sorry. These are the artists. I beg your pardon that a lot of the older generation will know of because these are classic tracks or classic artists. All right now, I'm not going to look if you look I'm going to I've got my eyes closed and I'm going to flip to there right?

5:56 Six seven eight actually it's not six seven

All right, so random place. Let's have a look. This is CD number 47 from the essential series. Okay, Eurythmics fairground attraction attraction. Sorry Fat Larry's brand Fleetwood Mac four tops go West Iggy Pop Kenny Loggins Nina Nick Kershaw Paul Hardcastle the Pet Shop Boys Simply Red the Smiths and others. The Smiths the specials Tom Tom Club. Okay? So again what you've got here is a collection of artists who when they brought out said tracks they vote that they were very well known and people love them. Now, what I'm going to do is I'm going to flick over and let's instead of me giving you the artist's name. Let's give you the the track name of the track. So that's that's one CD or a little box set. Okay?

Well, yeah, it's not a boxer. Is it? Okay. So again, I've got my eyes closed conflict some of the trick through what there all right? No, in fact, that was too close to the end. You probably think you're going to get the end, right? Okay, so number 29 disc number one. Okay, so we got six seven eight. All right, six seven eight actually it's not six seven. It's five six seven eight. All right now. I'm not going to say who that's from yet, but just think of a really cheesy song from years gone by five six seven eight. Just do the math. Okay, let's have a look falls gold. Okay, Buster move. All right, fairytale of New York. Yes, see what I mean? See where I'm coming from here. Rock the Casbah London calling last Christmas. All right.

So what have we got here? We have steps. Okay, so we've got steps another steps tragedy. We got sting the Stone Roses Falls gold Stone Roses. I am the resurrection the the wanna dies. Young MC, which I said Buster move and then we go over here. Wham last Christmas. Okay, you see classic tracks. No, like I said at the beginning of this video, your new DJ, you want to get a collection of all school tracks, but you don't want to have to search and then this possibly could be for you. But now let's twist it slightly. Let's manage. Let's match manager. Imagine that you are even a new DJ or sorry, your new DJ or in an old school DJ and you want to say you want to get a nice collection of all school but more dancey kind of things.

8:05 We have Tina Marie

More the clubby environment more you sort of your soul yet little bit of hip-hop R&B house that kind of stuff. Now what we've got here is the classic beats. So I have got three of them 1 to 20 21 to 40 and 41 to 60. Okay, so again, I'm not going to look through stop about there. All right. So Sabrina's come to say hello. All right. So this is the classic series volume 1 CD 35. We have Tina Marie. I'm a sucker for your love tea connection. Do what you want to do Rene and Angela secret rendezvous Snoop Dogg. Who am I talking heads slippery people? Primal scream burning wheel chocolate Puma. I want to be with you 49ers touch me Smoke City underwater love pure tone addicted to base Barry White. It's ecstasy when you lay down next to me now,

These are more that they're still commercial but there are a lot more dance. All right, so let's let's look at a regular kind of mobile gig you turn up you look at the crowd. And I'm on about a mixture of just a general kind of wedding event. You're going to have a mixture of people now in a wedding event, you'll guarantee guaranteed unless the bride and groom have said no and this has happened in a couple of the wedding events. I've done for good reason because the bride and groom maybe do not want little children running around everywhere causing hassle. They want the people who are going to the wedding to enjoy themselves and not have to worry about. After the kids I get it, but let's imagine you've got a regular event where you do have a cat.

9:24 You've got all manner of ages

You've got all manner of ages. Now, you're going to have your people who want steps. You're going to have you people who weren't talking heads who want the Johnson Johnson brothers who weren't Michael Jackson who weren't maybe chicle freak who want James Brown a mixture a myriad of artists and styles then have a think about these compilations because what it does as I said at the beginning of the video, it stops you having to search now. You're probably thinking in fact, let's have a look at just one more. Let me open this one up. This is 41 to 60. I'm going to do that close my eyes stop back there which is 58. So 50 stood disc 2 this time 58 disc 2 the Jackson's walk right? Oh, there we go. Jackson's walk right now.

Earth Wind and Fire after the love is gone. The Fatback Band I found loving what a classical I found love in did it since I found you. I'm in love with you. I love it man at Queen Latifah de la soul mama give birth to the soul children. Yeah Grandmaster flash and the furious 5 at the birthday party that Technotronic Megamix, you know like pump up the jam all that sort of stuff. It's here right? I finished this video off and you're probably going. Yeah, but the CDs don't play see check that out. That is a thumb drive. Okay thumb drives there we are so you can get those on thumb drives now if you are interested check out the link in the description and the downside. I do apologize the downside nothing's brilliant brilliant brilliant.

There's always yin and yang you do have to be a DJ and of course, you have to be in and around Europe. All right, anyone in America? You do have your own CD pools. This is targeted for the European DJ community. All right, like I said, the link is in the description cdpool.com and they're there to help go to the website get hold of them. I'm sure someone is happy. To message you back via an email or talk to you. Just get an idea of what's on there. Also, what you can do is if you go to the website, you'll be able to see a list of every single track on said CDs and also little sound. I believe there are sound bites as well. But if you're not familiar with the tracks to begin with then maybe you need to do some research first,

But if you are familiar with the traction, you are know that know that know that. Then it's a one-stop shop. All right, I hope that's been a help practice and enjoy. Thank you very much.
