The Most Terrible Sounding DJ Mix Ever! (and a Good One)

0:00 Few of the tunes but I'm

Right, I'm going to do a CDPool New Releases. I've got some dance tunes February 2019. Now this video is going to be quite interesting because I'm going to show you a few of the tunes but I'm also going to do a mix that is completely out of key. Now in time, in phrase, in key, those are the three top ones but the most important one of course is in key. If it doesn't sound right, if the two tunes don't sound well together, it's going to sound terrible. So this is going to be quite funny actually and while I'm doing this sort of transition or two transitions to begin with, if you're not like squinting your eyes and going ooh that's a little bit bad then there's something wrong. I suppose the analogy is a little bit like being in a room with an old school blackboard.

And someone getting their nails and going on the blackboard. It's not good at all. Right, so we'll kick off here with track number one which is not track number one but it's what I've got. I think it's all in alphabetical order because I've just downloaded the files so I haven't gotten them through rekordbox or anything like that. This is Agency and Damn 2. Okay? This is the Mark Pocotti Club remix I believe. So what I'll do, I'll give you an idea of what it sounds like. Right, so let's do a really bad mix. Now what should sound here is the music content, the transition from one track to the other. It should sound absolutely pants. In fact let's go to the break.

Listen.

2:11 Break of this track

Very bad. Go back a bit and what I'm going to do, I'm going to go to the break of this track. Now this isn't in time and phrase and key, absolutely bugger all. Have a listen. This is the break.

Okay, now that's the sort of transition you don't want to do because you just look an absolute idiot. This one here by the way is, where are we now? This is Alco featuring Connor Menyard tracking title Pray The Extended Mix. Now don't forget you can get all these tunes from the dance releases for February 2019. Check out the link right down there in the description to cdpool.com. I think the other one was track number six that was just like dodgy as hell. Not the track, just the transition okay?

Okay, I'll speed it up a bit. Listen.

Can you hear that?

You see, just not right. There's just, it's just not right. Okay? Okay this one here is track number six which on this of course Boy George and Culture Club. I do apologize Boy George, a track entire life. Right now what I found with, was it track 31, 32?

4:11 The harmony worked really well together

Okay.

The harmony worked really well together. Slight difference in speed though.

Right, what I've done, oh we're at the bridge. Now I do want it to go on a little bit further. There.

Okay.

Can you hear those notes? Now this one here is 106 BPM. This one over here. If I play this. Let's see what speed this is. Okay. 124.5. All right, so we've got a slight problem here with BPM. One's very slow, one's very fast. One's sort of like almost getting into the realms of like new disco even though it isn't. This one here is a little bit more up and coming. Yolanda be cool, dance and chant the extended mix. So what are we going to do? We can speed that one up, leave this one at the same speed. Alternatively, we could speed that one up slightly, slow down the other one slightly, meet them in the middle. It doesn't really matter that much, to be quite honest. But if we wanted to increase the vibe and energy in the room quite a lot, quite substantially, I would be more inclined to speed that one up.

Now at the moment, let's have a look. I'm on plus or minus 16. If I go to plus or minus 10 from its original speed which is, oh no, I'm minus. Original speed, yeah, which is 105. Bring it all the way up. I'm only at 111. So that's not going to work, is it? Now that's at plus or minus 10. Plus or minus 6, it's going to be speeding up even less. So I need to go to 16%. And now I'm able to bring that up to 115. But I've still got to slow down. Actually, I've got to slow that one down. Now I could go to the wide feature but I've got to be very careful with wide because wide will increase or decrease the speed by 100%. So if it's 105, it'll be 210. If it's 105 all the way minus, it will be 120. All the way minus, it will be nothing.

Bugger all. Zip. Stop. Bit silly that. Right. OK. So by the looks of it now, 115. So I'm going to take that down to 115-ish roughly. OK. So.

6:53 You give me hope when I wake up to lift my head high

You give me hope when I wake up to lift my head high. And take what's mine. We look for laughter in the madness. You give me hope. There we go. Your line of your call, dance and chant. And now I'm just speeding it back up to its original speed. I think there was one more that I wanted to show you on this. Not that that's the only other one that's good. They're all pretty good, actually. OK. Finish off with this one here, which is Fleur East's favorite thing James. Luck remix. Don't forget to check out the link in the description to cdpool.com. Practice and enjoy. Yeah. Do you like my bike, Tom? I'll tell you what. It's completely, absolutely knackered. Look at it. I mean look at that. It's got bits missing but it's the warmest thing I've ever worn for cycling.

Practicing. Yeah.

It's the warmest thing I've ever worn for cycling. Yeah. Yeah. It's the warmest thing I've ever worn. All right. We'll do some more. We're getting some time to practice and enjoy. Thank you, Tom. See you next week. We'll be back. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
