A Look at the Underground Tunes from CD Pool with Help from Blaise

0:01 Bed and be quiet

Ladies and gentlemen, I have my little boy here with me by the name of Little Monkey. No. Pain in the bum? No. Will you please put that down? No. Go to bed and be quiet? No. What's your name, Blaze? What's your name, Blaze? Look and say hi. Hi. What's your name? Q. Q, right. Okay, press Q. Right, so this is the new releases from CDPool. This is the Underground series releases for August 2019. And that is a code. And it's very bad and my dad is very bad at drawing. That's not drawing, that's just like words, letters. There.

Alright, so if you're new to the CDPool series, basically if you subscribe to CDPool the first time you subscribe, if you put that code in, you get 50% off for the first month. Now that's not bad actually. Oh my god, can I use that code? Well, if you want to really. Alright, so this one here, first of all, I'm going to play a few of the tunes in alphabetical order. This is Alex Twitchy Loving and... One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three. This is good practice. I've set four hot cues. You can do the bottom ones, but you need to press those hot cues on the count of one. Listen to mine. Listen. Now, every time I hit those, it's in beat. Listen.

Okay. If... I hit it out of beat, this is what it would sound like. Now I hit it in beat, listen. Now listen. So I want you to hit those four hot cues and each time you hit... When you hit one then go to the next one and always hit the following... Now I can tell you straight away the first one was pretty damn good, the second one was completely off, the third one wasn't too bad and the fourth one was pretty good as well. So what I want you to do now when I press play...

5:00 Sometimes, it's time for the book you later

That one there wasn't on time. So now, on the count of 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. Not even pressing them! No, I want you to press them and see if they're on or off. So you do it now. 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. Now, that one was slightly off, so we'll press shift. It was slightly off like broccoli. There's nothing wrong with broccoli, it helps you, it makes you poo. Well, it helps you poo. Why did you even say that? I bet we didn't want to know that. Whatever. Right, so you've got to press on the count of one. Ready? One. Right, let's have a listen. One, one, one. Take your time. Get counting first. That's the great thing to do. It isn't just go one if you're new.

Count first, listen. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Right, that was better. Listen. Oh no, it wasn't actually better. You were off. Right, three, four. No, because you made me fall. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. That's better. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Okay, that's slightly better. Alright, so now I want you now to choose another song, okay? Now you can do that by turning that dial. Okay, so turn that dial wherever you want to go. Alright, there maybe. That'll do. Now press down. Press down on that button. Press down. Now load it. Press number two. Okay. Now then, press play. There. Now this one here is Lee Wilson Something's Taking Over. B4 bit remix. Something's taking over my body. I want to leave.

Sometimes, it's time for the book you later. It's time for the book you later. It's time for the book you later. It's time for the book you later. So what do you think of this one? Let's speed it forward a bit. Now again with the Underground series you can expect an eclectic mix of deep dark and dreary and not dreary as in bad but twisted eclectic tunes including the likes, we're in the red there, a bit of Deep House, a bit of Techno. Some drum and bass as well. So let's speed this forward. Finally, now I've found a song that you can actually sing. Yeah, yeah. There's only one song that you can sing. I'm going to choose one now. No! Let's go to zone two, bring the bass. Drop the bass. You don't want to drop the bass. Oh, that is a nice bass line. That is a nice bass line. Let's ruin it! Don't do that!

9:12 Wait, can I press any random 1?

Let's speed it forward a bit. Oh that sounds to me like, do you remember that old school tune Adenos and No Way Back? It's not that kind of bass line. Your way of singing does not sound like it one single bit. Yeah but I know because I'm crap. I'm rubbish. You're crap at singing. I'm a waste of space. Okay, right. This is good. Get out of the room! No! Okay, so let's choose another one. Should we try Shepard? Dance floor. Oh, I'm liking this one. Wait, Shepard! He looks after his sheep! I'm liking this one. Sheep! Do you know, I like these sort of tunes because they're really deep and like boom, boom, and then all of a sudden they've got this euphoric kind of feel. Very nice. You like it? Sort of, yeah. Yeah?

Okay, right, so crossfade is disengaged. So what I want you to do now, what I want you to do on the count of one, listen, on the count of one, I want you to press both those two buttons at the same time. Four, one. No, no, no, so you need two hands for this. Two, three, four. Okay, fair enough. But you hit it on the four, it doesn't matter. Alright, so once again, this one here. One, two, three, four. Just play it, leave it now. Plonker. Okay, quite... Hold on. Let's listen. Hold on. Listen to the drop. Does this move your body? It does. Yeah? What do you think of this one? This is a nice one. Okay, let's try Scott Day's Recognize. Dad, it moves my body anyways because I've got nerves. Yeah. Oh, you've got nerves? Yeah. Ooh! Another good hard house cue. Oh, very nice.

Nice, like it. One great feature about all of the new releases from CDPool is whether you buy the downloads or the CDs. The CDs always come in two packs. Downloads, of course, download. You can download WAV or MP3. But even if you've just got, say for example, the one underground series, you can pretty much do a whole mix using... Just that group of tracks. Stop talking about weird stuff! Okay, let's try one more. How about Lumac, a track entitled Peace? Another song that he can't sing. Should we do that one? Yeah. Okay, right. I want you to press play there. Press the green one. Hardhouse style, old school 90s sort of vibe to this one. Now, do you remember what we did earlier on? Pressing these on the 1, you need to do it on that side as well. 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, you're a bit too early, 4, 1, better, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2. Alright, let's start again. Wait, can I press any random 1? Let's start again. 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, no, what you're doing is you're too quick, you're hesitating. Relax first, get into the groove.

Get into the groove, well, what it is, and then press them. Two, three, one, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, harder, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, ah, two, three, four. One, let's skip it forward a bit. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. The last one was the best.

Listen, hold on. That's the yellow. Oh, that's not too bad. Not too bad. Alright. So this is it. This is the key sometimes as a beginner just to almost get used to even if it's pressing play or cue on the one. That will help. Alright. I'm pressing on the best ones. Alright, so once again what I'll do, I'll put that code in the description of this video. And I'm going to use it first, so don't bother using it. I don't know. I have no idea who... What do you take after? Pardon? Who do you take after? You. Yeah, I know. Would you like to finish with... No. What does Dad always say at the end of videos? Practice and don't enjoy. Why don't you want to enjoy it? Don't practice and don't enjoy. Huh? Okay. Practice eating pancakes in the morning. Yeah? Oh, here we go. You ever play...

Thank you.
