0:01 You could make a show out of that, couldn't you?

Right guys, new releases dance February 2020 from CDport and have I got some news for you. You could make a show out of that, couldn't you? Have I got news for you. I'm going to remember that. Right, do you know what I like about this tune is it just comes in like full throttle. So you imagine the analogy, you open a door and normally when you have a party, you know, no here's the, right my mind's sinking straight away. All the time, can't help it. Alright. You organise a party, a house party, and you say to your guests, turn up at 7 o'clock. 7 o'clock, no one arrives. 8 o'clock, no one arrives. About half past 11 when everyone gets booted out the pub and they're already pissed and smashed out their heads. Then they turn up and they're like, and you're like, you studs, why couldn't you have come earlier on?

Now, that is a track that just seems to sort of slowly progress and not much happens till eventually it's like, whoa, it's here! This one on the other hand. Let's get back to your party. You open the door at 7 o'clock and you realise they've been camping outside since 5 to come in. And by 5 past 7, your party is rocking. Why? Because this track just comes in... With so much power. It's got the bassline, the beat and it just goes, here I am, let's do this. Right. That is amazing. Loving it. Alright, this one here is, yep, too good. Extended Mix from CDPool. Don't forget there is a link in the description right down there to the CDPool website. Let's see what else we've got. Ooh! Loving it! Now again, these videos are really just about showing you little snippets of what to expect. It's not actually that good, to be quite honest. A lot of reasons but let's not go into that. This isn't about tutorials at the moment. This is about demos. This one here is Ritmo, The Bad Voice for Life. Now if you've been a DJ for like a month, you should know a little bit about this track. Wait till the break.

2:46 This is the rhythm of the night

And you'll go, oh yeah, it's that, um, yeah, it's that, you know what I mean. Listen. Remember? This is the rhythm of the night. No, okay. Alright, this one here, Remo, Bad Voice for Life. Big tracks, those in-your-face, those kind of nightclubs. Yes! Okay. Alright, so what's the big... Oh, I'm in the red there. What is the big deal about CD4? Right. For quite a while I've been saying that if you're going to be a first-time user for CDPool and you're a working DJ, and you're a working DJ in and around Europe, then you are entitled to join CDPool. But a while ago I was saying that you could get 50% of your first month's downloads. Now in terms of conditions to apply, well, things have changed slightly because now you can get two months. So...

5:33 This one here, new me, the Joel Corey Extended Remix

That's a big deal. That's like getting 100% off your first month. But this one is over two months, so for the first two months you will get 50% off your first load of downloads. Now terms and conditions apply and it's not just for one group of downloads, it could be for as many as you want. But again, it's based on... What downloads you can get, so the best thing to do there is contact CD4 and find out first. Now in the description of this video there's a code DJTutor, you'll need to use that code to apply, but for two months 50% off, that's going to save you a few quid, alright? Dollars, Euros, Pounds, Shekels, you know what I mean. Okay, just love this tune. Okay, let's find something else. Okay, you know that one now. Alright, now this one here, new me, the Joel Corey Extended Remix. I knew he said mix then. Remix. Okay, so what are the dance releases all about? They're a little bit more cheesy, a little bit more handbaggy. Very often you've got some vocals in there.

Nice, happy, sort of euphoric sort of field tunes. Sort of tracks you'd expect to listen to, let's say, you're out in the town in a big city somewhere, you walk into a bar, there's a DJ in the corner playing not your normal run-of-the-mill, oh I've heard that a million times on the radio, but something that's very new and exciting and vibrant and makes you want to smile and drink vodka and have fun and do stuff. Alright, do stuff.

7:59 This one here is entitled Tattoos Together

The one. You're a real kid now. See that there? See that there? Look, I'll do that, alright? What the hell's that about? Well, I will explain. Okay, so the one, and now this one here is entitled Tattoo Sting. Being stupid is fun! You know, people out there, they're not stupid enough. And I don't mean being stupid as in break windows or smash cars or just do horrible things. Just being a kid and having fun because as you get an adult, you know, you have to think, oh God, I've got to do adult things and be boring. No, sod that. Just have fun. God's sake. Have fun. This one here is entitled Tattoos Together. The Danny Dove Club Mix. Okay. So are you having trouble, say, mixing tunes where you'll find you can't differentiate between the track that's playing and the track you're listening to on your headphones? If that's the case, then you need to start looking at the headphone mix dial. Now generally the headphone mix dial, it's here, it is set to the cue position which is 7 o'clock. So when you cue a track, so for example you can hear that now.

Through my headphones, press the cue, you can't hear it. Bring the volume up on the other track here which is Ultimatum. The volume, we can hear that. Bring the volume down, we can't hear it. Press the cue, now we can hear it. But if you have the headphone dial set to cue, it means that you will only hear the track you are cuing up. But if you start to move that dial clockwise Up to the mix position, which is 12 o'clock, you will be able to hear the track you're cueing up and also the track that's playing. Now some people find that a lot easier, but other people find it very confusing because they don't know what they're listening to. Are they listening to the track that's playing or are they listening to the track that's cueing up? So if you're having that problem where you're having sort of sounds bleeding in on your headphones,

To anywhere other than. That's important. Anywhere other than the 7 o'clock position. So turn that to the 7 o'clock position, then press EQ and now you should just be able to hear the track you're cueing up and not everyone else. Everything else. Alright so I'll finish off with this. Now don't forget in the description of this video there is a code. Use that code. And if you want to, to make sure you know what you're getting and you understand what it's all about, contact CDPool by all means. But you should be able to get 50% off your first two months downloads. Alright? Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
