Contents of the video

0:00 Listen to that sample

So, on the odd occasion you get a tune and you just think from the first time you hear it, yes, it's got it. This one, I love it. Listen to that sample. Anyone who doesn't know that sample, however old or newer a DJ you are, if you don't know that sample then take out Flower Asian. This one here is Jump On It. What a tune! Alright, we're using the DDJ-1000, add a few little effects. The idea here is a bit of a demo on the tunes from Seaports. The club releases October 2018. I'll just turn it up a little bit. At the moment, I've got the speaker running from the Booth output, not the master volume. I think you get the idea, but what a great tune! It's got bounce to it. You know, this is what I call house music. It's so good. Love it. Again, it's a remix from a classic, classic old school tune, Don't Go. What a killer. Now check this out. Alright.

2:24 It's only £5 entry for the entire weekend, which is pretty good

Part in this track here where some people would think there's something gone wrong or the DJ's done a dodgy mix. No, it's actually where they seem to sort of slow the track down and then boom, come straight in. Have a listen again. By the way, if you are interested in learning a little bit more about CD Paul, come to the BPM show this year, 20th and 21st of October 2018. There will be information in the description of this video on where it is and what you need to do. It's only £5 entry for the entire weekend, which is pretty good. So if you are a DJ or a music lover and you just want to see some kit, communicate with like-minded people, interact, have a bit of a chat, you know, see what's going on in the industry, then you've got to be at the BPM show.

This October. In fact, it's this month right now. And as I said, CDPool will be there as well, so, you know, if you want to make inquiries about what they've got, the tunes they've got, you'll be able to pick up these tracks. These are the October releases as well, okay? This is the club releases, couple of tunes, let's see what else we can find here. This is something that I'll explain in a bit. Yeah.

4:06 I've just, yeah, I've just noticed something on the laptop as well

Alright, I've just, yeah, I've just noticed something on the laptop as well. I'm using the rekordbox software by the way and there's one icon that isn't highlighted and as soon as I moved the pitch down on the right hand side I heard something that I thought, yeah, I know what's on. What's wrong should I say? Maybe not what's wrong but not what is not engaged, sorry, on the software. Just have a listen as I slow the track down. Okay, it's almost like we've got a different singer now. Speed it up. Not only is the track speeding up, but the sound seems to be getting higher. That's because the master tempo isn't engaged. So I'm going to do that right now. I'm just going to highlight on the right deck, the right icon at the 5 o'clock position. I'm going to click on that and on the left deck at the 5 o'clock position, all I've done now is I've engaged the key lock which means I can slow down, speed it up and it's going to keep the same key.

Okay, this one here, all for you. Alright, now don't forget you can get all these tunes on the new releases from the Club Series October 2018. So let's just skip this forward a little bit, we'll go to sort of about there. Now I would class this as a big tune. It's got a lot of good production there. You know, it's got a nice fat kind of bass line. Okay, perhaps you're familiar with this, Jackie Chan.

7:00 In other words, they'll do everything, including the production

Let's book forward a little bit. This is Tiesto and Dasko featuring, what was it? Where's the Explicit Mix? Ibiza, this one here, is the Hoost Remix. I'll just rank forward a little bit. Okay, let's find one more. Alright, so if you're one of these people who say, for example, does not like a certain artist. For example, let's say you don't like Kylie Minogue and you think, nah, not interested, don't like Kylie, she's shit. Well, what you've got to remember is that very often it's not about the artist, Now, very few artists out there will write a single songwriters. In other words, they'll do everything, including the production. Quite often you'll have an artist who will just sing. They'll be given a bunch of lyrics and the producer will say, right, here's the melody, here's the tune, here are the lyrics. Go and sip a cup of coffee, get familiar with the lyrics, come in, sing it like this. Bang, you've got a great track.

Everyone out there will just, you know, what is she? She used to be really big in the 80s, very commercial. She's still sort of floating around a little bit. But if you talk about Kylie, you just think, yeah, alright, cheesy girly poppy top 40. Well, this tune here, again, it's very clubby, a track entitled Golden. Now, this is the Weez dub. I think I've pronounced that correctly. So what I tend to do... If I see an artist that is normally a very commercial artist and I find out they've done a clubby kind of remix, I don't bother really looking at the artist. I'm more interested in the producer or the remixer because they're the guys and girls who will put their pound of flesh into it. They will give it their style and that's what makes a track. Okay so let's just go forward a little bit.

9:01 This one here is a track entitled Let It All Go

Now this to me is one of those tracks that you can quite happily play in the middle of a commercial clubby set and it's just got that nice happy vibe, it's got a smiley feel to it. I can just picture people dancing and feeling happy and that's what we need to do as DJs, make people happy. Okay, I'm going to put one more on here.

This one here is a track entitled Let It All Go. It is the original mix. Now don't forget, all of these tracks I'm playing and more are on the October 2018 releases from CDPool. There's a CDPool link in the description. Go and check it out. Now the link will take you to the CDPool website. It won't take you to the page where you can get info on these tracks. But all you've got to do is find it. Very simple. And as I said before... If you're a new aspiring DJ and you're looking, let's say, for a backlog of old school tunes and you don't want to delve all the way around the web and spend years and years trying to find those 60s, 70s and 80s classics, you can get compilations from CDpool as well. Pretty much fill your boots with the best old school commercial tunes from pretty much...

The 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s up to the present day, alright? And once again, let's see you at the BPM show 20th and 21st of October 2018. Alright? Practice and enjoy. Thank you very much. Can I go now, Mum? And this cut here, this just says end of set. Uplifting, vibrant, it's got it. Yeah. Also on here is one of the new ones by Purple Disco Machine. I'm not going to play that one. You're going to have to go online and find it yourself. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
