0:00 We've got the Pioneer 500 Mark IIs here, old school CDJs

Right then, we've got the Pioneer 500 Mark IIs here, old school CDJs. One's 20 years old, the other one is 23 years old. They may be a little bit clunky, but they work. We've got some tunes here for, I think they're CD Pulled June or July 19, so... Now we've got no choice of selecting what... We want the BPM to be whether it's plus or minus 6, 8, 10, wide or whatever. It's just plus or minus 10. We do have the master tempo which really is one of the best technologies of all time. You can definitely tell there's a little bit of digital sound with this but then of course nowadays on the good plays you get practically nothing. Well you don't get any really. Melody really. Alright that worked because it was in phrase.

3:10 Banging time, I'm happy with that

Banging time, I'm happy with that. Tracks might give it a nice lift. Count down, count up. Maybe seven. Start it here. BPM on here, you've got to set whatever percentage you're on. Whether you're speeding it up, like plus one here. Mix on these damn things if you couldn't they wouldn't have made them in the first place! But back in the day it was a little bit more difficult, I have to admit. It's not easy, alright? So, if you want to know what the tracks were, sorry, it was very random, I wasn't making note of the names of the tracks because they're not on the readout, but you could always shazam, practice and enjoy. Thank you very much.

The stages are the way through

Below this line is the back catalogue, newest first. Useful for browsing, but it is not a course - the videos are in the order they were filmed, not the order to learn them in. Work the stages instead: each one assumes the one before it.
