A DJ Mix That's Not a Mix

0:00 I would class these more as sort of radio transitions

Right, not saying this is what you should do, but we've got a couple of transitions here that are not your regular beatmatching in time, in phrase and so on. I would class these more as sort of radio transitions. Now, something very important, and this is what I'd like you to do, alright? Next time you're listening to the radio, just any radio station, it doesn't matter. If it is a reputable radio station with good DJs... What you should notice is this. When they transition from one track to the other with nothing in between, like no advert or the DJ doesn't say anything, then theoretically those two tunes should be harmonically matched. On the other hand, if there is sort of an effect or they do indeed talk or there's some kind of segue, some kind of advert, there's something that goes on in between the two tracks,

Then it's very likely that those two tracks are not harmonically matched. So what they're trying to do is separate the sounds by having something in the middle, okay? This one here is Dinner Guest, Explicit Lyrics. These tunes, by the way, are from the Urban releases from July 2020 from CDPool. Check out the link in the description. Okay, this here is Wonderful. Now notice there as well, when I brought the Wonderful tune in, I didn't talk in between because They sort of harmonically match there. Let's just skip this forward a bit. Okay, again with these videos it's really about a couple of sort of demos, tutorials in the videos but mainly it's about listening to the new tracks and don't forget if you are a DJ living and working in and around Europe you can also play a part of, play a part with CDPool.

3:30 Who's that you spend a ride on violence?

I believe still you get 50% off some downloads. I think it's got possibly one or two months, but the best thing to do is to contact the people at the website and they can give you all the info. Okay again as I said earlier a bit of an effect there just to change the sort of mood. Now here we're going to a track entitled Sliding. Again there could be swear words in here. It's the explicit version. DJ tutorial by Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor Sliding, gliding, riding, bars broke, keep on my getaway driving. Hop at the hop, at the ride with items taped up, flopped in cup on the siren, shagged up once and again for the typing. Who's that you spend a ride on violence? Two fat teeth and a dotty tryna bite him, rap while I live, man grow up on violence. Multiple times I've been left there taped up, had them screaming, didn't draw, wake up shooting, score like Vessi or make up shooting, score like Vessi or make up shooting, score like Vessi or make up shooting, score like Vessi or make up shooting.

That wasn't so good, I've got to be honest there. I was going to try something. They were definitely different BPMs. I had to slow the sliding tune down quite a bit. And this one here is Paradise. I was doing my own sort of little experiment there, which again is what you should be doing when you have kit in front of you. You know, the whole idea, if you imagine you're in a kitchen, you've got loads of ingredients. You go online, you follow some recipe and you make something. Well, that's fine. Yeah, carry on following recipes. But why don't you try your own recipe? It might work, it might not work. If it doesn't, then just don't do it again. I probably won't do that again. There you go. Alright, this is Paradise, the Black Habit Remix. Again, it shows you the styles on the urban releases. You know, you've got your hip-hop R&B soul, got some two-step, got some garage here as well. Let's choose one more tune.

5:34 And I feel maybe they don't

Again, what I like to use when I'm doing sort of let's say not even mixes but playing one track then the next one and I feel maybe they don't work harmonically or they're not really the sort of tracks you put next to each other. I do like to use the echo because then you echo one out and then as it's just about leaving then you bring the next one in. That wasn't too bad. Okay, this one here is, I don't know, again the explicit. It's quite funny actually. I'm choosing random tracks and on the left hand side I seem to be getting all the explicit and on the right hand side, fine. So left, naughty words, right, fine. I'm okay. Let's skip it forward a bit. Alright, thank you for watching. Don't forget to check out the link in the description. It will take you to CDPool where you can get more info on these. They don't just do the urban, they do underground, you know, twisty bendy sort of Chicago style techie sort of house tunes, minimal kind of vocals. It's mainly, you know, the sort of music you'd want to listen to if you're in a big, dark, dreary nightclub.

I'm not saying dreary, just, you know what I mean, old school style-y. Then you've got the club releases, you've got the dance releases, very commercial, fluffy, loads of vocals, and then also you've got the global releases which is more online for your sort of, I suppose, dancey, garagey, sort of soulful Ibiza tunes, alright? Thank you for watching. Practice and enjoy. Just been on a bike ride, by the way. Practice and enjoy.
