NU-DISCO DJ Mixing Lesson BY Ellaskins the DJ Tutor

0:00 Of course, one way

Alright guys, a bit of a demonstration stroke tutorial on learning how to mix a genre known as New Disco. Of course, one way. You can use this technique with quite a few other styles as well, but this is New Disco. What is New Disco? It's like, a lot of it is very funky, but it's orientated along the lines of old school, believe it or not yet, disco, but with a new school sort of playlist. So, they're using new style technology, but keeping the vibe of old school disco. This one here is a track entitled The Night, the original mix, and on the other side we're using a track called Falling Back. I'll put the two names of the tracks in the description of this video. So, let's just go forward a little bit.

There it is.

Four shall be explained very shortly. Four shall be explained very shortly. Okay, so what was going on? I'll let the track play. Alright, first of all, you notice that I formed a loop. Back and forwards. Lost where the bloody track was, but found it again. So, let's imagine what I did then was on the headphones. So, just let's have a look at the process. We've got a track, say an imaginary track playing on the right hand side. So, what I did on the left hand side at the beginning of the video was what you would be doing, let's say, if you were using headphones. Of course, then your imaginary track is playing. You mix in the track on the left. Now, what you've done is you have set not only a hot cue, but you set a loop in the

Hot cue. Then of course, you start this track off. The track plays. You get to that loop and then, of course, you press the hot cue that starts the loop going and then you bring in the next track. Now, you'll notice as well I let the track on the left hand side, the loop, play once or twice and then I started to reduce the bass and then give it a bit of filter. So, what I'm trying to do is not let the loop be very boring by playing it over and over and over again. So, I'm almost trying to slowly fade out the loop and use the filter effect and then the last time I used the loop, I moved the filter all the way to the end and boom! Straight it went out a bit like a talkover like this. Bang! There! Ok, again trying to keep it in time.

Alright, I hope that's been of help. The two tracks, the names of will be in the description of this video. This is a style known as New Disco. A lot of it is very slow, laid back and chilled out but it's a lot better. It's all very funky. This is a good cut! Alright, practice and enjoy! Thank you!
