Make Sure You Phisicaly Have the Music You Bought DJ

0:00 Dance releases for April 2021

Alright guys, dance releases for April 2021. So we've got here a track entitled Intoxicated, in brackets it goes like. So I'm going to pause that. Alright now something that is quite important about the music that you buy. Now again you can buy in many different formats. I don't think you can buy cassettes anymore. You can definitely buy CDs, you can buy vinyl. And of course you can download the music. But also, as well now, a lot of people seem to be streaming the music. So you pay a subscription and you can basically listen to tracks forever and a day and you never have to have anything on your hard drive. Which in a way sounds great because it means that you don't have to have any storage. But I don't like that because the downside there is if you don't have any storage, you're not going to be able to play music.

But if you actually have a physical copy, then all of a sudden you could just like find that you can't listen to it anymore. Now I don't want to go into why I think that because that's, you know, these videos aren't about that. But you see, if you have the physical copy, something like this now. Alright, this, these are the physical CDs. Alright, so you get something like this. I'm not just on about sort of CD pool stuff. I'm on about in general. You go to a shop, a store, music shop and you buy yourself a CD, then you've got that. Now again, don't quote me here. This isn't legal advice, but I'm pretty sure that you are legally allowed to copy that CD, have it on your hard drive, make a copy, another copy for yourself, put it on a thumb drive and so on because you bought it, you paid for it.

2:16 Be The One, the extended mix

But the trouble is, if you just stream the music, you're not going to be able to listen to it forever and a day and you never have to have anything on your hard drive. If you just stream the music, so you're just listening to it, then you never really own anything. So I am, I honestly believe that not so much the way forward, but if you want a music collection, make sure you actually own it. The physical thing. Okay, let's put this forward a bit. I'm going to bring in Be The One. Okay, Be The One, the extended mix. Now at the moment, I'm just playing them alphabetical order. So what I did... I downloaded via MP3 and then I just opened, extracted all and then put them onto a thumb drive. Now again, I'm using the XZ and I could have put them through Rekordbox, but I just wanted to download...well sorry, I just wanted to have them as they are.

I don't want to...you know, when I...hold on, I'll start again. Okay, when you put them through Rekordbox... Of course, they're analysed and then you can find the key of them and so on and so on. But then if you just, let's say, transfer MP3 onto a thumb drive, then as you can see here... Oh, maybe you can, can't. They're all just in alphabetical order. So what I will be doing is explaining each track. Now again, there is a link in the description. Take your CD ball. And if you go to Dance April 2021, you'll be able to hear all these tracks. And the others. There's a soundbite of all the tracks as well, okay? So let's have a look and see what else we've got. Hopefully I'm not going to get done by YouTube copyright issues for playing tracks that I'm not supposed to.

5:03 Actually track this quite uplifting

Hopefully...it always happens. If you think it happens to you and you only where you do a mix and all of a sudden it's blocked because you're playing someone else's music and you think I get away with it. I don't, all right? Same as you. I get so many emails saying you're playing copyrighted music. You know, best case scenario for me is that if I do this video now, they'll just be adverts on it. Very worst case is they'll completely block the entire video. So... Okay, we'll put this forward a bit. Actually track this quite uplifting. This is Dial My Number extended mix. Okay, so the dance release is a little bit more cheesy, bit more happy. A little more handbaggy, but so far they've been quite euphoric. Quite sort of happy.

It's almost like the summer is here and people are going, let's put a smile on people's face. I like it. By the way if you are interested in getting CDPool, the new releases or for that matter any of the CDPool collection there is a link in the description. There's also a little code there and if you're a first time user and you're into your dance or your house or your R&B use that code. And I'm pretty sure still that will get you 50% off your first two month subscription. Okay, terms and conditions apply. You can always ask them but it's a great way of getting a very good quality sort of back catalogue and also of the new releases of what to expect to play. Let's say, you know, you do a party, you do a birthday, I don't know, you're in a nightclub

And you don't want to be let down by people saying hold on a minute, you know all we can hear is the old stuff. Every single month they bring out some new releases and these are sort of the cream of the crop.

Okay, I'm going to check this one on. I like this kind of bass line. This one, the next one you're going to hear is Pressure, it's an extended mix. It's a bit like the old school Robin S Show Me Love sort of, you know you've got to, not so it's the same key but that sound.

You know, you've got the You get what I mean, hopefully you do. Okay again, Pressure, extended mix.

7:49 I'm going to play is entitled

Keep watching David Guetta because I know there'll be issues with that. Okay right, I'm going to put this one on here. The next one I'm going to play is entitled Come Together. Now the reason I'm just sort of chucking this one in is because it's a Hold on, if I just put the pitch down a bit. Right, this is at its original speed which is 129, 130 BPM. This is like, yeah, this has got energy and again the energy of this track straight away as soon as you put it on is because it's quite fast. You know, 130 BPM or yeah, 129, it's got that kind of get up and go. Original house music was around about sort of 118, 120. But this seems to have a bit more life to it.

Right, I'm going to finish with this one. Don't forget check out the link in the description. I'm only playing a few of the tracks and you can go like I said to CD Ball and listen to every single one of the tracks. And don't forget when you listen, the quality, I mean come on you should know by now, but the quality that you hear online isn't going to be as good as the tracks that you get. And if you do get the downloadable version, you can get Wav or I think Flack as well I'm not sure actually, but you definitely get Wav and MP3. OK, practice and enjoy.
