Contents of the video

Alright guys, this is an advanced DJ lesson showing you how you can mash up tunes that normally wouldn't work well together. So, first of all the two tracks is Gemstone Beatbox Hip Hop and we also have Jimmy Needles The Message.

First of all I'll show you what I'm going to do and then I'll explain.

0:52 What we're doing first of all is we're cutting it up

Okay, what we're doing first of all is we're cutting it up. I'm pressing the cue at the right point, but I'm not moving the crossfade over until the point where I want that particular sound to come in. So let's have a listen to, yes, I am losing my voice, Jimmy Needles The Beginning Of.

Alright, that's only a tiny bit of it. Let's wang through this track. Let's find some hot cues.

Okay, so what we're doing we're bringing a track in at the right time but we're not using the track until we want the right point in the track to come in. Alright, so very simple. Make sure when you set hot cues you start the hot cue at the right time and it's up to you when you want to move the crossfade over. Practice and enjoy two tunes in the description.
