DJ Phrase Mixing Demonstration and Global New Releases from CD Pool March 2017

0:00 Sorry, it's only a dead dog

Alright ladies and gentlemen, it's new... Tripping over things here. Sorry, it's only a dead dog. It's time for some... Sorry about that for all the dog lovers out there. I'm just kidding. I haven't really tripped over a dead dog. No, it was a dead cat. Shall I dig the hole any deeper? Alright, so we've got some new releases for you from CD4. It's March 2017. It's your birthday, come on, it's your birthday. Some people will know. Alright, so we're looking at a track entitled Deeper Soul. Now what I've done, I went to the CDPool website and I got the downloadable versions of their new releases, so that's why we're on the RX. And over the years, I've demonstrated lots of different kits. Turntables, CD players, mixers, lighting, washing machines, tumble dryers. Just joking about the lighting. This still is one of my favourite bits of kit. It's the RX. I like it because it just works. That's it. It works. If this was a vehicle, it would be an Audi. Yes, right. Okay, let's see what we can find.

3:03 Bars change, extended versions, chocolate cake

Bring along the other one, let's have a look. We can move that over there, go on, sod off over there a little bit. Don't get too close. Here is 1-3-1-4. Now that's me. Maybe the guy can't spell or read or count. Okay, again, these videos are really just giving you an idea, a little insight into the new releases and on the odd occasion, a bit of a mix and a bit of a trick and something like this. Let's get rid of that. Try again. Okay, so I'm going to pause that. So again, if we have a listen to this track, this is Seamus Jar, the track entitled Touch Me. Right, so it's quite a long intro to this and again, with dance music, especially the extended versions, they're called the extended versions for one reason. Because they're extended, it's a little bit like someone's got one part of the radio version and made it a lot longer. So instead of it being like 4 bars and a change, 4 bars and a change, it could be 8, it could be 16 bars, it could be 32 bars and then you have a change. It's got a nice sort of flow, sort of a melody coming in here.

5:30 Beginning phrase, bass lines, overlapping

And I'm waiting for that bass line. When you start to listen to loads of music, there will come a point where you go, There it is! There it is! There it is! What took you so long? There it is! Sorry. So, stop. Please, calm down. Okay. Chocolate cake. Chocolate cake. Right, so what you'll find is that you'll hear certain parts in a track and you'll go, That's the beginning of a new phrase. That's the beginning of a new phrase because there will be a definite change in the tune and that is the beginning of a new phrase. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to start that part at the beginning of a new phrase with the other part. It's not as simple as that because you've got to make sure you find the right place and you don't want bass lines overlapping bass lines and melody overlapping melody. You definitely don't want vocals overlapping both vocals because that's when it just sounds really shit. It's a little bit like trying to listen to two people talk at the same time. Look quick, you won the lottery! You're gonna die!

Oh, good and bad. Can I just win the lottery please and then die afterwards? No! Oh, bugger. Right, so let's have a listen here. Bit of a squeaky kind of... It's almost, the bass line there reminds me, it's reminiscent of sort of that acid-y style riff from the late 80s, early 90s. Okay, it's going to carry on all the way through. Tutor Touch Me. Actually, that was quite enough. Tunes that have got that disco vibe and this hasn't. No, it has actually. Really good cut. Really good cut. Alright, let's find something else. So I'm going to pause that. Bit of a melody going on here. Hold on. So I'm going to set a hot cue there. Go back a bit. Probably got, I don't know if that's debatable, 16 bars. It could even be 32 bars before we got that vocals coming in. But anyway.

9:48 Let's carry on with Touch Me

At least I know at that point there where I set a cue point, that's when the vocals come in. So let's carry on with Touch Me. And we've got Love Fever over here, the club mix. Don't forget, I will always name the tracks and all you've got to do to get more info on the tracks, go to the cdpool.com website which is sort of down there. There's a little hyperlink. Click on that and then you'll get more info on the global releases March 2017. Alright, let's just go rough around the edges. If this was a vehicle... It would be a very old Ford with rusty bits, but it still drives, it still works. It's still, you know, I'm going to piss a lot of people off now because they're probably saying, well, yeah, my Ford's nothing and it costs a lot of money to get from its MOD and stuff. Tough, you shouldn't have bought a Ford in the first place. But this is what it's like. Okay, it's giving you a little bit of an insight into the new releases. So if you're into your soulful sort of deep, vibey, all-to-the-floor tunes,

And go and check out the global releases. CD Paul Starley, practice and enjoy. Thank you very much. This is the club mix. Imagine, you know, going back to the times of the Romans, or not the Romans, but pre-Edwardian, Norman times, and saying to someone, have you heard that club mix? And they'd be like, ugh, club, mm, mm, mm. Oh, practice and enjoy. I'll go away now, sorry.

Oh, sorry.
