Alright guys, demonstration, more of a tutorial for you on changing the vibe in a mix. Now I do get lots of questions, people are asking me, how can you change the vibe in a mix? In other words, you've got a techy kind of feel, you want to go soulful. You've got a soulful feel, you want to go a bit more techy. You've got a deep house vibe kind of feel and you want to go more uplifting. The choice is yours how you want to change the mix, but how is it done? What is one of the easiest ways to do it? Well, it's this. What you do is you take one track and then you play that track and then you play a remix of that track. Now if you don't know what a remix is, first of all I'll explain because I try and explain things in great detail for new DJs as well. Let's say for example, for example, this track here is by Mr Lenny Fontana featuring D-Train. It's a track entitled Raise Your Hands. This mix here is by David Morales and we're going to mix it together.

1:28 The cake here is the track Lenny Fontana D-Train Raise Your Hands

We're going to mix in a remix by Ridney. Okay, now the same track but what's happened is Mr Lenny Fontana had good old D-Train around his place and they did a track entitled Raise Your Hands. So there was a mix by Mr Lenny Fontana. What he did then, he like just gave that to other producers who made their own interpretation of that track. They, it's a bit like making a cake pretty much. Anyone who's a chef or knows how to make cakes can make a cake but every single cake will always be slightly different. Some will be more chocolatey, some will be vanilla, some will add a bit of spice, a bit of lemon but there'll always be a cake. The cake is there. The cake here is the track Lenny Fontana D-Train Raise Your Hands. What we have got though is two different remixes. So we're going here from a really uplifting, vibey, soulful kind of feel into

Something more deep. So this video is showing you one way how you can change the vibe in a mix. We're going to go from a mix by David Morales, Lenny Fontana, D-Train, Raise Your Hands. Happy vibes. Still a bit of soul in there. The soul is there but we're going to go into something more deep. So if you think about it, you're playing this high energy, full on, soulful kind of vibe and you want to change it to go slightly more deeper. Choose any mix that has the feel you want to go into and then follow it through. And we're going to do just that. So from Morales to Ridney, check it out. Here we go. Now we can do it in many ways. Halfway through or towards the end of the track, it's your call. Bass away, used a bit of filter. It's entirely up to you how you want to change the feel. So what do we do? We sense how they want to go in the mix.

We choose a remix according to how you and they want to go. You play that remix, boom, you've done it. Now we can go into more soulful, deep kind of vibe and carry on the mix using different cuts. Hope that's been a help. If you want any information on this wicked track, check out the link in the description. To Karmic Power Records, Lenny Fontana, Ridney, Mr Morales in the house.
