0:00 Time for some more new releases from CDPool
Alright guys, time for some more new releases from CDPool. In this video we're looking at the club releases September 2015. First of all if anyone else out there, there's millions of you who make videos with music content and you're always getting your videos taken off or deleted or like exploded or someone putting pins in them then you're not the only one it happens to me as well I did this video earlier and there was a copyright claim on a track by Marco V And the audio was muted, which meant all you... Which would be no good. Therefore I've got to do it again. So all I can say is it's not just you, it's me, it's him, it's her, it's everyone. Alright, so anyway, never mind. This is what happens. This is about life. Very random. This is track one, disc one from the September releases. Alright, let's have a bit of a mix. Let's dig around on CD number two and see if we can find something rather interesting to bung into this one. Thank you.
2:51 Check out the link in the description
Don't go away. Oi! Don't go away. Let's lift it. This one here is track number four from disc number two, called Every Second and what you were listening to was a track Chucky by Format B. Definite change in vibe there. This one here is track number three, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike featuring Ne-Yo. Check out the link in the description. It will take you to cdpool.com. Also, are you in the UK next week, which is the 12th, 13th and 14th of September? If you are, you cheeky little people out there, then go to the BPM show. It's happening in the NEC near Birmingham and it is big and bold. If you want to know about kit, DJing, music, PA, lighting, all that stuff, you have got to be there or you're a rectangle.
5:05 Fall to the floor music
You've got to be there or you're a piece. You've got to be there or you're a triangle. Hexagon. Square. Square. Square, yeah. Okay, track three, disc one. Well, and in Grosso, Sun is Shining. Rehab remix. I am not playing Marco P's song. That's the floaty bit, I like the floaty bit. Alright, this next cut, what I do like, is I like banging four to the... I like banging. Fall to the floor music. Sorry about that. Okay, so what I'm going to do here is I'm going to set vinyl speed adjust to 12 o'clock. I'm going to hit a hot cue there and I'm going to let it carry on. I'll start that one again. Press play pause. Absolutely banging. Okay, if you know what I was doing there, if you want to know what I was doing there, then there is a video out there somewhere but if I get loads of people saying please show me, show me, show me, I'll do another one, okay?
7:28 Same bus stop, you step off there and you're on
This one here is track number 7 from disc number 1. Thank you Rosado. I'm going to tell you in a minute how you can get really good mixes. Don't go away. That's it, don't go. Cue there. Always try when you do a mix to either start or finish the mix on phrase. And a phrase, pretty much as soon as the phrase finishes, the other one starts so it's the same place. It's a bit like getting off one bus stop and going onto the next. You don't have a bus stop there and then another bus stop about 10 metres down the road Same bus stop, you step off there and you're on... You get what I mean. Not off. Pay attention, sorry, not you, that. Track 14 caught a track entitled Falling August 5 Remix and we're in September. Maybe they did it in August. Alright, I'll bang this forward a bit. A bit like the Elephants tune is. You know what I mean, that walking with elephants. For track number 9, we're going to finish off with track number 9 from disc number 1. Okay.
9:57 How can you improve on your style, your mixing, everything?
How do you get a good mix? How can you improve on your style, your mixing, everything? It's very simple. There's lots of ways. One good way is to find a DJ friend and swap tunes. Not literally swap them so you keep them but just stick a bunch of tunes on a thumb drive, eight gig, four gig, give those tunes to him or her and let her or him give four or five gigs to you. What you do then You've got a whole new bunch of tracks that maybe you haven't heard a lot of before and you can experiment with them. Now, the whole idea is that you are not getting used to your own tracks. Once you hear your own songs it's a bit like you know where the break is. You know where this comes in or that. When you listen to new songs you're more open to listening to what's going on. It's new, it's exciting. The analogy I give you is very simple. You go out your front door, you walk down the road,
You don't really look because you're so used to where you're going. But if all of a sudden, you open your front door and it was into a cave, you'd be like, oh my frigging goodness, it's a cave. And you'd be really looking at where you were going and wondering, why the hell am I in a cave now? I'm just giving you an analogy. Just work with me here. Wait. No, serious, work with me, please. Otherwise it's very difficult for me to do this by myself. Ah, I am. No, so you walk into this cave and you'd be like... This is different. This is exciting. This is new. New experience. That's what it's about. It's about capturing that new experience. Go and check out somebody else's tunes. This is CD Ball. We're listening to the September releases of The Club. And if you are interested, go to the BPM show NEC next weekend, 12th, 13th and 14th. And also, if you're interested in me teaching you personal lessons, go and check out the description.
Where there's an email and you can contact me and we can do Skype one-to-one. Me and you, have some good old-fashioned stuff on the decks and have some fun. Practice and enjoy. I'm going to drink my coffee. Not a very good idea. This is my second cup all week. No, it is. Promise. Honestly. Goodbye.
