DJ How to Mix from DnB to House CD Pool Club March 2018

0:00 On the left hand side, we have a house track

Alright guys, it's more new releases but also a bit of a demonstration, tutorial here on mixing completely different genres that are completely out of time but making sure we've got a nice kind of smooth transition. On the right hand side, Till I'm Done, Matrix and Future Bound, a bit of a DMV tune. On the left hand side, we have a house track. Both of these tracks as well as others I'm going to play in this video are from CDPool March 2018. From the club releases. Okay, let's have a listen to the beginning of this track on the left-hand side. It's entitled Carry On. So it doesn't even start on the one. It's got that... And then you've got a kick. Okay, skip it forward. Ah, right. Okay, so I've cued that up on the one at the beginning of a new phrase. Let's go back to till I'm done. Now, if I wanted to be very clinical here, I could bring...

Sorry, carry you in exactly at the end of a phrase until I'm done. Which would be the best way of doing it. But sometimes it's nice just to do some kind of very rustic sort of blend. So let's just wait till I'm done. What could be simpler? All I waited for was the notes. To sound as though they'd work well together, take one out, bring the other one in. Okay, this one here is entitled Carry You. Don't forget, check out the link in the description. Go to cdpool.com, Club March 2018 and you'll get all these tunes and the others. Let's find another one. I know there was one wicked sort of full-on track here somewhere. Let's have a look. Okay, speed this forward a bit. I'm going to speed this one forward a little bit.

2:40 Let's wait till the break finishes and then bring in Leave A Light On

Okay, let's wait till the break finishes and then bring in Leave A Light On. Chaney Refix Mix, I believe. They just love loads of vocals. No. Coming in, Leave A Light On. Okay, we've got a couple of bass lines going over each other here. Didn't realise that was gonna happen. So I've taken the bass off on the left-hand side. Also, vocals over vocals. Two things there didn't really work. I'm gonna be honest here, I'm not gonna edit this video in any way. One reason I think that happened as well is because the Leave A Light On track, if we start from the beginning, is 3 minutes and 53 seconds. So we're getting on the verge of a radio version of this track which tells me the phrasing's going to be very much shorter, maybe 4 bars instead of 8, 8 instead of 16. So of course the bass lines are going to come in quicker, the vocals are going to come in quicker. Let's just go back towards the end of Carry You.

4:32 Let's listen for that bass line to stop

All right, let's listen for that bass line to stop. Still there. Maybe it'll finish now very soon. Okay, weird sort of phrasing with that tune. It's quite off-putting, but let's start Leave a Light On around about there. There you go, slightly better. Right, Leave a Light On. Let's speed this one up a little bit or just skip it forward so you get an idea of the tune as well.

Straight in with the track entitled One Love, this is the original mix. So again, what I've shown here is with the first transition and the second one, it doesn't have to be a beatmatch. So long as it's in time, it's most of the time in phrase and also the music works in each tune, then you can't go wrong. I hope that's been a help, practice and enjoy. Thank you very much.
