Intermediate DJ Lesson on How to Keep the Vibe, Feel of Your Mix

0:01 This is an intermediate DJ lesson on keeping the vibe

Alright ladies and gentlemen, this is an intermediate DJ lesson on keeping the vibe. It's definitely not beginner and it's not advanced. And for anyone out there who thinks I'm on drugs... I just had to do that. I'm not. I like my family, I love my children even though two have been taken away from me through a corrupt system and lies. I love my partner Yvette Brooks and I love all her family and everyone around me. But I do... Not take drugs. Any drug I've got is life and my eyes are open. So, actually, thinking about it, just open your eyes as well because the world is not black and white, it's very, very grey. Maybe one day I'll explain a little bit more. OK, so, an intermediate DJ lesson on keeping the vibe. Now, this is really important. What is the vibe? The vibe...

2:30 Perfectly matched, perfectly put together

Is a feeling, it's the atmosphere, it's the energy in the room. Now we're all made up of energy. Everything is made up of energy. You have auras. If all of a sudden you see strange sort of shaky bits around people and this sort of, I don't know, sort of colours then I won't go into that at the moment but it's quite deep. That's your aura. Everything has energy. Everything gives off energy. When you have a collection of people together Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor. Trans music is like a wave. Take a 12-inch single or a trans song, beginning and end, but it takes you on a little journey, a nice little wave. It lifts you up, brings you down, a little break and so on. Now imagine 10 trans songs. Perfectly matched, perfectly put together. That one wave is now 10 waves and the waves should take you on a nice journey. But imagine if you had the wrong songs and all of a sudden you'd have a nice little wave, you'd have a choppy bit in the middle back to waves. Now the choppy bit will take you away from the vibe. But let's imagine that you don't have a choppy bit, you have tracks that still work well together.

But they don't keep the same vibe, then what would happen? You'd have a nice wave and the wave would change frequency but would carry on going. Now frequency is another word because the human brain is in tune with frequencies, is in tune with the energy. Now again it's really important for you to understand this and if you can understand this and work it out you can get one hell of a good mix and make sure that the people you play to just buzz. So I've got a few tracks here to prove a point. Now, again the tracks are key match, the whole blinking lot, but the track I'm using over here is Reva, R-E-E-V-A, and then I've got M-I-L-F, Hunting, MILF Hunting, it's the original mix. It's taken from an old school track, The Brothers Johnson Stomp from the early 80s, so it's got one hell of a good vibe.

Soulful, heartwarming kind of gospel-y vibe. So to keep that vibe, that feel, we need to play a track that's got the same kind of feel. There's no point playing something that's just a different feel because we would ruin that vibe. But if I did want to change that vibe then of course I would have to change the feel but I would still have to keep the keys matched. Otherwise, I would completely lose the plot or lose the dance floor. So again, this video is very difficult because it could just go in so many different angles, but I'm going to keep it to this one point or this one story, this one angle. Sorry, mine's gone blank. Ah, there you are. So, one track over here. Let's play it, have a listen. Bit of a classic. Yes, we love this.

4:54 That isn't the same vibe

And this one over here, I've got two tracks. One that's in keeping, keys work, but different vibe. I want to keep the same vibe, the same feel. Let's play the first one that isn't the same vibe. Move forward a bit. Okay, what I'm going to explain, what I'll try to explain is the feel, the vibe I get from this track. It's a little bit more deeper. It's almost as though we've got this soulful... You know, oh, you're gonna love it, love it. And then into... I want to try and keep that, yeah, I want to keep that sort of glow of the vibe, the glow, the expression of the music out there to the public. So if I need, if I want to do that, I need to find a track, tracks that are of the same feel, the vibe. So let's try the second track. By the way, that one was something, it's the original mix by me and my toothbrush.

I'm not joking. Oh, sorry, this is so funny. And here I am in my room talking to myself. Okay, let's do the second one. Here we go. Oh, brother, it's Johnson. That's what it's about. This one here is Something, the original mix. Hold on. Is it? Yeah, that's it. Something, the original mix. Alright, so just check. Right, so that is Something, me and my toothbrush. Now hold on. Ah! Why is it doing this? That one there. Some think me and my toothbrush... The only reason I'm making sure I'm telling you the right names is because sometimes we go, what name was that? What track was that? So I'm making sure... Wait, calm down. Right, so this one here is track 16, which is that one. Ah, right, OK. Track 16 is SILENX. S-I-L-E-N-X.

Long lost love. There you go. See? Right. That's pretty much the end of this demonstration stroke tutorial and all I'll say is please open your eyes world because the world isn't black or white. It's very, very grey and it's getting a lot greyer. Practice and enjoy. Thank you. I don't mean to say that that's a bad thing. What I mean to say is that there's a lot of control going on in the world today. You're being controlled believe it or not. So, have a look and you'll probably see if your eyes are open that you are actually being controlled. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
