0:00 We're going to do some more new releases from CDPool

Right, we're going to do some more new releases from CDPool. Now this here is the parcel with the CDs in and as you can see it hasn't been opened so we're going to open it up right now. I'm going to choose one and just do something with the CDs. So here we go, open it up and we're going to choose, let's have a look. I love the global, I love the club, let's go underground. Right, okay, so two CDs full of tunes. We're going to put CD1 in the right and we're going to put CD2 in the left. So I will let you know what tracks I'm playing and don't forget check out the link in the description to CDpool where you can get more info on these CDs. Let's just press play on track one, disc numero uno.

2:15 Let's see what we can find on disc number one

Okay, so I'm listening to these for the first time. Again, I may have heard one or two on the radio in the past and oh, great, it's on a CD but to be quite honest, probably the first time for all of these. This is Idris Elba, Bad Man. Coming in, Robosonic, Madman, original mix. Worked quite well together, these two. Nice vibe. To Madman. Okay, let's see what we can find on disc number one. Just gonna sort of flick through the tunes. I'm going to try and keep this vibe going. The tracks I'm playing so far are a little bit more energetic. Nothing wrong with that though. Five might work. Six maybe. Let's go ten. Finest wear understanding. There's some such remix. This bassline with this one here. Okay, so I've gone into track 10 from disc number 1. Finest work track, like I said, entitled Understanding. Let's find something from disc number 2. Come out of slip mode. Yeah, 2 might work. Let's go to 3. Just going to spin this forward a little bit. Again, if you're not familiar with the Underground series from CD Paul, it is what it is. It's that sort of minimalistic techie house kind of vibe.

5:16 A bit of drum and bass in there sometimes as well

A bit of drum and bass in there sometimes as well. Nightlife, Columbo. Probably could have done with just going swap with that tune there, but there you go, it is what it is. Okay, let's find another one from disc number 1. Yeah, 11 might go. Yeah, let's go. Okay, spin up and forward a little bit, let's go towards... Just to the beat take, beginning of the drop and to the break. Emphasising the mid, this is Dingo, tear the roof off. Okay we're going to get one more from disc number two. I'm going to put this one on anyway, it's such a good tune and it is a tune. It's Dell 30 Ragaman, the original mix. There's not much to it but it's just like... You'll see what I mean. If you like this sort of music, then you're going to vibe off this one. Don't forget as well, check out the link in the description. You can hear soundbites of all of the tracks. Ah, okay, it's a bit of an intro there. You lot familiar with Shambhala? I was there a while ago, had my nails done. I've taken them off those fingers, but very difficult with those, so I might keep them until they fall off.

The pinky's going to be very painful. Something about this cut, simple, so simple, but it's big, it's amazing. Ragaman original mix, just that drum pattern, that forward bit, you see what I mean? It's got it man, it's got it, it's amazing. Love it. Once again, check out the link in the description. A few tunes here from CD Paul. Now I can't do the same with the others because I've opened them up now and of course... When I do the videos, even if I say I haven't heard them, people go, oh yeah, you've taken them out and whatnot. But at least there, hopefully a lot more of you will believe me that I haven't tried them beforehand. I've opened up the CDs and there you go. So this proves that you can pretty much have a nice little mix with two CDs, one from one to the other. I'm not saying you can mix every single track.

From both CDs and form this outstanding mix. But you definitely can take some or quite a few of the tracks and put them together to give yourself kind of a little set, alright? Once again, check out the link in the description to CDpool.com. Thank you very much. Practice and enjoy. Love it!
