Add a Twist to the Start of Your DJ Set Underground CD Pool October 2019

0:00 I've got a bunch of tunes here from October 2019 from the CDpool Stabl

Right, I've got a bunch of tunes here from October 2019 from the CDpool Stable. These are the underground releases. We're going to do something first, then... Well, first of all, have a listen, then I'll tell you what's going on. Here we go. Put that there. Coffee. I need another coffee. Come here and listen in. Interesting, eh? Very interesting. Right, so let me have a look. Oh, actually, you have a look. I can see. OK, so... Now, note as well, master and sync. I'm not dead against using the sync, but right place, right time. Okay, so we've got two tunes. We have music, the original mix, formed a loop on the other side. Keep on. All of these tracks, by the way, you can find on the CDPool website October 2019. Now this is sort of what we would call a masher. Nice little echo there with a bit of a spin back. Okay, I'm using the rekordbox software.

3:12 Exactly the amount that I counted to make that loop

And what can I say? Well, it's all about track selection. I made sure those two were in key and now we're going to go through some of the other tracks. Alright, so what did I do? All I did was formed a loop of the beginning of the track. So let's just close that loop, stop it. Okay, let's have a listen to the beginning. One, two, three, four, there. So what I'm going to do now is count. Exactly the amount that I counted to make that loop. So 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 5, 1, 2, 3, 6, 1, 2, 3, 7, 1, 2, 3, 8, 1, 2, 3. There. Now, I've got that word music coming in every what? 8 bars. If I wanted to have that, say, every 4 or 2 bars, all I've got to do is this. 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3. Now it's every 4 bars. How about 2 bars? 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3.

4:18 Enhance the mid because that's really where the vocals are

Or what we could do is every one bar, but then just slowly bring this track in now and again. So... Bringing the volume up on the mu for mu, and then also then bringing it up on the sick, sick, mu, sick. Reducing the echo. Enhance the mid because that's really where the vocals are. A bit of filter. And then just bring that out at the end of the phrase. Okay, so what's going on? I mean, a lot of people are always asking me about sets, how to construct a set. What's a great way of making a set? Well, I would, and I've said this time and time again, make sure that when you start your set, start off with a bang. Watch a James Bond film, it doesn't start just... Thanks for watching. They need, you need to catch them by the little gooley ones. You know, you need to make sure that when they listen to your mix, it's like, oh, there is prick up. There's something interesting here because I'm listening to two tracks playing from the beginning, not just one. All right, let's come out of that loop. A bit more of key pawn so you get a general idea of what it's about. Underground series, by the way, is twisty bendy sounds.

6:56 Ecclectic mix of underground house music, better drum and bass in ther

Ecclectic mix of underground house music, better drum and bass in there as well. Sometimes you've got some breakbeat. There's all kinds of music. Okay, nice sort of acid feel to that. Keep on. This one here is the original mix music. Ooh, nice tune. Okay, let's get this from the start. I'm going to use here a tracking title. Here with me it's the original mix. Okay, what I do like about the underground series is... You have got that sort of nice, sort of deep vibe. Very experimental but at the same time there's a lot of thought gone into these tracks. Even though they seem very minimal, there is a lot of thought in kind of tune here but it's like fall to the floor, that good old push. Okay let's spin this forward a little bit. Sort of bassline with this one as well. Sometimes a track, a track's hook could be the melody,

9:52 Vocals, in this case, it's that bass line

Vocals, in this case, it's that bass line. Oh, loving it. It's Moon, Raymond Hammo remix. Solid, solid cuts here with this release this month. Solid. I mean, they're like, yeah, loving it. Very nice. Underground World. Very twisty bendy, this one. That just sort of... Loving it. Donkey sound. Go towards the end, maybe. DJ Tutor. Use that code as a... You're a first-time user and you'll get 50% off the downloads. I don't think it's everything, but just check out the terms and conditions when applying. Of course, one thing though, you've got to be a DJ and also you've got to be in and around Europe because CDPool based in London is for European DJs. The Americas and so on, you have your own CDPools. Okay, we'll do one more going on now at 4am.

Single-minded people, original mix coming in. Thanks for watching. Don't forget, check out cdpool.com in the description. Underground releases are very big this month, I have to admit. It's always good stuff anyway, but this month they're just chugging out the deep vibe, energetic sort of bassline tunes. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
