No Phrase or Beat Mixing Mixes Just Pick a Time and Place That Sounds Good

0:00 It's freezing here in the UK at the moment

Right, ladies and gentlemen, got me being on. It's freezing here in the UK at the moment. I had a chat with a friend of mine yesterday, and he explained why in the UK we always talk about the weather. Never thought about it from this angle, but he's very, very correct. In the UK, we could have sort of sunny spells in the morning, followed by wintry showers. Then later on, we could have gales. Then we could have, I don't know, a snowstorm. Then possibly we could have a heat wave, followed by torrential rain. And that's all in a day. That's why we always talk about the weather. Whereas, let's say if you're in Spain, it's hot. Who wants to talk about the weather? It's always the same. Whereas here, changes all the time.

Anyway, this video is about playing tunes that are different. When I say different genres, they're different genres, different styles. This is the Underground Series for July 2021. And if you don't want to beatmatch, if you don't want a phrase mix, then maybe a few ideas like this might help. So the transitions are very rough and random. It's almost as though, if you imagine a garden party where people aren't dancing or you don't really want them to dance, you just want them to listen and appreciate, then maybe sort of transitions similar to this might work. OK, so London Grammar, this is track one from disc number one. We're going to go in to track one from disc number two, which is Go Freak. And.

Eco Boy. Don't forget, all of the tracks are on the website. Click on the link underneath this video and go to July 2021 Underground Releases. All right, so let's skip it forward a bit.

What I've done here is I've got the drop ready on EQ Boy, Geeky Boy, right?

Just checking my levels on the EQ, make sure they're round about the same. I don't want one too low, one too high.

And all I've got as an effect is the filter. Here is disc number one, which is a track entitled Skyline. Don't forget there is a link in the description. Take you to see, check out the Underground Releases, it's due to be on the website. I'm just playing a few.

3:24 It worked well with just one sound complement each other

When I listened to the beginning of this track, I thought I liked the sound of that, the first sound. It worked well with just one sound complement each other. If you get a clangy sound, then it's very likely that they're not harmonically matched. This time I've got track number three and I've got it right slam on the bass line. Ready? I did wait indeed for, I was counting my, if I make a mistake, I'll be honest with you. I would just go like, oh, wasn't that amazing? She sounded even better if it had an echo, but it doesn't. Okay, track number six here from disc number one, which is Speaker Test. It's track number four from disc number two, which is Cadenza, Cadenza. I'm going to try something here. What I've got is a loop on this side.

Now, it's not going to be in beat or anything. I'm going to see what it's like. So. So this is an experiment, and if it sounds crap, I nearly said shit then. If it sounds crap, I'm going to say myself, but I want you to in a comment to let me know you too, if you agree with me that it sounds crap or disagree with me because the loop itself, I don't think it's going to be in beat. Now bearing in mind, I'm going to stick to what I said earlier about not making sure they're in beat. It's just about that sort of wacky transition. So coming to a break here.

CD4.
