everyone who says "Dj's just press play" need to watch this, so much more is done and aswell as tons of skill is involved
some djs just press play to be honest
some do, but the problem is that people bash dj's in general because they know nothing about real djing
lunjemersic it's like saying all singers mime when there singing lol
SLAM Sessions exactly
João Paiva lol you're acting like only a modern day Mozart could do such a thing
Holy crap. Lot more difficult then i expected
detops mu well yeah Laidback Luke is not one of those guys to just stand up there and dances around while the songs play
Samuel Wong you haven't seen his performances then have you.
Aaron McIntosh yes he does
LL Is probably one of the few DJs there that deserve the MAD respect. Tiesto and Antoine are maybe two others I can name that are even close. This guy is a real beast and a long time DJ. I just transitioned from controllers to CDJs, beatmatching is easier on vinyls imo than on CDJs, so pulling this stuff so fluently isn't granted.
Could you just explain to me how beatmatching is easier on vinyl than on a CDJ? I'm actually just curious...
Absolutely insane! I am just starting out. Total beginner. I'm blown away right now. Very humbling to watch you work, and now I am starting to realize what a long road I have ahead of me. God bless you Laidback Luke. You are a true master at your craft and it's a privilege to learn from you. One of the best in the world for sure! L's UP!!!
how did it go man?
The struggle of running out of time when mixing xD
This should be the video of WHAT DJ's REALLY DO !!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Not only pre recorded usb play.....this is real DJing
what REAL DJs really do ;)
Yea he's actually doing stuff, not throwing cakes and shit
this is a video that Djs use to do xD nowadays is just push play and run the music xD
I recently transitioned from controllers to CDJs. The difference is ridiculous, and I'm basically re-learning everything. I'm in hopes of getting to play in Tampere next year!
Next time, do this video but during an actual live set in-front of a crowd. So we can also see whats choices u make according the the crowds energy. Just my suggestion cause i feel thats whats most important as a dj. reading the crowd energy and adjusting ur set to it. you know what i mean? Anyways thanks for this video, literally watching this before my first gig at a Halloween party here in Toronto!
man this is easy laidback luke have a lot of live set's like UMF and tomorrowland ; go watching the skills and reaction of public
dj set not live set btw. there is a difference.
Mewzyc my bad...
5olace no need dude it's just the same. he's just giving an example on how he do it. if ur a dj u get the idea
jerville1 dj set and live set are totally different. Live sets in general do not use CDJ and generally uses instruments like midi keyboard, synthesizers, Abetone live with buttons and tablets (you get the idea). They make their music live. Examples of ppl do/did live set are Daft Punk, Justice, Kygo, The Glitch Mob, Agents of Time, Kraftwerk, and many more. DJ sets uses CDJ and a mixer, which is majority of the EDM DJS/producers at festivals you see. Examples are LBL, hardwell, armin van burren, SHM, zedd, martin garrix, tiesto, avicii, Eric prdyz, Deadmau5, alesso, skrillex, diplo, etc.... Eric prydz & Deadmau5 did a hybrid live at during tommorrowland 2016. You could of easily google the difference between dj set and live set. People always label it wrong. Live set sounds and flows differently and not everyone can do it. What LBL is doing right now in the video is an example of a DJ set.
Luke, I'm just a producer and have been interested in dj'ing. It is safe to say you are the first guy who really has shown me what it takes, what all those knobs do and how they are done, with every other so called dj video of tutorial, it's always blurry. please do more of these! LOTS OF LOVE MAN!
XX
Thanks for the video Luke! This is so good to watch and hear what your thinking. There's a huge lack of "good" DJ tutorials on the web. Be great if you could keep these videos coming!
Best DJing Tutorial EVER created! I will watch this 100 times! :)
Laidback Luke should definitely be in the Top 5 Best DJs of the world!
Actually, list shows the most popular DJs, not the best ;)
Fre3 Fly the best DJs enter the DMC. Luke will never be in the DMC. As far as most popular dj ranking goes, sure number 1.
legitimately one of the best tutorials on djing ive ever seen especially for cdjs, thanks luke, you've earned yourself a life long fan!
id really like to see more of these by the way! i hope you make this a regular thing!!
These "In my mind" tutorials are fantastic for helping out the budding DJs who are just overwhelmed at the amount of stuff that goes through our brains in such a short amount of time. 43 and still playing myself. Happy Bday Luke.
not even 24 hours ago I was like " man i wish someone would do some sort if video of them DJing and posting or saying what they are doing along the way , but that's probably way too complicated for anyone to care to do" and then bam! stumble upon this! much appreciated :)
Please do more of this kind of episodes! Super helpful!
I would do anything to get a day behind the turntables with him to learn...... PLEASE MAKE MORE!!!!!
Please post more of these! They are so insightful and so helpful. Really fun to see what your thought process is when you are playing. Please make more! Much love from Canada!
More of this please, truly amazing!
#1 Best and most technical DJ in the World. Take notes!
we need more of this, and ur beginner production tutorial as well. thanks a lot. ur the best
yes absolutely would love to see more of these type of videos...absolutely love your sets mann
hands down best tutorial vid I’ve seen yet!!! Thank you so much for this!!! Will be watching every vid like this you drop
Hi Laidback,
Wow this is great.
This is really nice for beginners.
As we can see what you think we can put actually ourselves into the same situation as you are.
It helps me to see how to find a way in the complete mess I do when I mix and to see how I can and could have a way out.
It gives a shot to technics that can be use to mashup and switch song, and this other than lpf and hpf, like the switch with an acapella or EQ playing.
But we see that some like the scratching requires skills and experiments that some don't unfortunately have, well for the moment.
I think it is the best idea to teach us how to behave in a live when we record, perform and even practice!!!!
Now the greatest thing to do with it is to actually make max 20min for a mix and at the end take the most important moments of the mix and describe them, I mean explain what is going on which actions you chose to do what other possibilities you had and the things you shouldn't have done etc.......
Thank you Laidback Luck you have for my opinion the best idea to teach us with this video what a dj must think.
PLEASE DO MORE!!!!!!!! ;-)
Thank You
Future Vibes
That was absolutely sick. Definetly would love to see more of this! Or longer, doesn't matter haha...but definetly helpful and great to watch! Thanks.
This is awesome stuff! I love that you said you're 40. I'm 25 and just started getting into DJing/producing, but was worried I would be too old for it. Glad to see you're still killing it and that you aren't out of style!
I'm only 5 years into DJing and I tell you what, this video was extremely helpful. Taught me some new ways to get out of tough situations. Appreciate it Luke! Give us more!
heck i am 70 and still djing happy birthday. let's see a picture of your wonderful children, d,j, discoworm san fransisco
Great video as usual Luke!
This is amazing stuff, would definitely enjoy hearing and seeing more of this. I spin drum and bass, but it's a joy watching you work!
great vid, really interesting seeing an experienced DJ's mind at work. more of these!
Nice vid homie. Tof dat je peeps een duidelijk. beeld geeft van wat je tijdens je set aan het doen bent. Love seeing more DJs share the knowledge 👊🏽
djTLMtv wejow kwist niet dat jij nederlands was
Yeah Djtlm.....i think we need some advance mixing stuffs like using effects....
As I was wastchimg this I was thinking bro I know if tlm saw this he be like who laidbackluck ? Oh yeah let me get with him 🤣🤣 then here you are in the comments. Haha
I find this shit fascinating, you should definitely do more :) A true DJ!
Awesome!!! Super cool!!! This is what i've been waiting for since your performance at the dj sound show twice..
Thanks for the insight Luke! Looking forward to more.
this is great, i showed this to a few people who thought DJing was "so easy" and it blew them away. btw, what do you think of the keyboard search feature with the NXS2? surely it helps speed track discovery
lol haha in fact I just hear one thing about nxs2 from him that was this new keyboard which was very good and useful for finding vocals very quickly! so yes haha exactly what he said

Hero with no cap
ty very much
this is great! perfect length to follow and good to understand what´s in your mind while doing this! thx
Yeah definately! laidback luke, please do more of these, really helpful and inspiring your the greatest LL!
Hi Kuya laidback! :D im not a DJ but i can relate to the things you say and you do. maybe because i used virtual dj for more than 3years. lol til now im still an aspiring dj and couldn't afford some controllers. sad. btw this vlog really helps kuya laidback :D thanks!
Yes, i reside here in philippines. so you're a DJ :o what's your stage name? do you have twitter? hehe thank you po.
jay-co Leosala haha nice, you'll get there bra
"but but djing is easy"
beatsnextdoor is bullshit
beatsnextdoor 4:20 Yea just look at that scratch, I can't count the amount of hours I've tried to learn that
This is all basic stuff, do what Atrak does and we'll talk
@@booxwee3804 what releases? Then you must not be much of a Dj, no offense...
@@FaderFlosser There is a lot more to djing than scratching
Love your tutorials! Keep them coming.
Loved watching you dj and telling what's going on your mind. More of these please!☺️👌🏽
this is what should be expected from all DJs at the VERY LEAST
please, dont dream :)
ehm I can't do this too ? thats not so difficult to do
They do this in the clubs. :D
Really don't get a comment like this.
Think of guitar players. Hendrix has a different style to David Gilmour, he has a different style to Clapton and so on and so on.
Not every DJ should be the same. Think about how boring it would be to have the same DJ playing the same style as everyone else.
That's what makes dance music interesting
Sweet old meme yeah except play good music instead
Hey Luke, I"m curious, why not use the master and sync buttons? Would give you even more time for tricks and effects..
@rogerxdby, might be good to know that I'm coming from a 15 year dj carreer, 3000+ vinyls at home etc. So then I wonder what difference does it make if a computer beatmatches your tracks, you look at the BPM counter or your ear does it? Of course it's a know fact that youngsters don't know how to beatmacht by ear but still, why not embrace this great feature in technology just for keeping it oldschool. Don't get me wrong, mad respect for LL and his realness in dj'ing.
Hey good to hear your practicing on beatmatching by ear, you will always be able to fall back and rely on it. As LL says, in the end it's not about the beatmatching, it's about how you interact, play and read your crowd while having fun doing tricks, mashing things up and take control over the energy levels in the room your playing.
@@rogermasc3659 are you kidding me the bpm is right in front if him he is not really matching beats! He is adjusting the pitch til the numbers line up. Unless you are using turntables and vinyl you aren't really matching beats. Sync button is the same thing. I can match beats using records and I don't hate on the sync button, but you are obviously far more talented cause you can make sure two numbers are matched. Lets see you spin some vinyl before you talk shit!
MORE PLEASE. Still learning and I love you as a teacher.
Yes I want to see more and longer of it ! I like it ! The best video of Djing I have ever seen. Thanks Laidback Luke !
I press play on Spotify, and I faint, Mickey.
Dennis Brugman fucking legend
Dennis Brugman You crazy lol
Tracklist? :)
Afrojack & Laidback Luke - Move to The Sound Selecta - Turbo DBN - Mosquito Jack Wins - I Used To Love You Mark Villa - No Mercy Oliver Heldens - Melody The Trixx, Christy Million & Steven Maar - Working Hard ID - ID J3n5on - Disco's Revenge A Tigers Blood - Gorilla Groove Laidback Luke & Tujamo - S.A.X.
Wow Luke, this gave me goosebumps, you're definitely an adrenaline seeker and the talent is unreal, you genuinely have a great ear and know all your tracks inside out.
This is absolutely a good idea. Knee to see longer version. Thanks Luke
interesting to see that he never really touches his highs and mids equalizers.. he just focuses on swapping bass, and filtering out of tracks..
you right damn .. good point !
right? kindof makes me feel weird cuz im always taking out highs and mids etc.. i may try filtering from now on..
Blake Marshall When I've to mix house for example I also only take out the bass EQ, works better in my opinion because you can recognize a next track by it's highs and mids like vocals
HPF and LPFs are magic.
Depends on the style..musically and technically ... if You are mixing a spacey underground trance or a deep dub tech setfor example , with careful blended long transitions with a few minutes of fading time , then mid and hi may be more involved than 1/2 1/3 1/8 echo,dely,roll efx ... This kind of music he played in the tutorial could be mixed with the crossfader only....
the scratch at 4:30 (Y)
LENNY Official scratches like many!!!
LENNY Official absolutely sick!
LL! please upload more of these videos please! I have learned more from you in just a week than I have learned from others in longer periods of time and for that I cant thank you enough. You're the best!
Yes, for sure, it would be awesome to see more videos like this one!
If the Dj Mag was on Dj skills and not.popularity Luke would be number 1
Man I really have to know... Do you really do all this procedure live in your mind? How can you keep in time? :O Whats your preparation before a set? I cant beilive you are better than best! :O I could never do this on my own. I admire you.
Yep Luke does everything live on the fly in his head as hes doing it. Nothing is pre-planned. Hence why every mix he does is different, even if using the same tracks. What he does is exceptional. Dont believe the DJmag hype. LL is the worlds No.1 DJ.
Its just unbelevevable to me :)
Do you know how he has seted up cue points?
They are all done in Rekordbox i think. So all stored in each track ready when called up from USB storage. Im sure Luke said before he normally has 4 Cue points marked in each of his tracks.
I believe the cue points are still loaded from previous times he's mixed
Awesome video Luke! Thanks for sharing it. More of these videos would be nice!
I love watching these videos because they are entertaining to know what is going on in a DJ's mind during the mix.
name of the song @ 12:33 ?
A tigers blood - Gorilla Groove
tracklist?
110% would love to see more of these types of videos man!
This is awesome - thank you LBL for caring and sharing!
Don't go in the red bro
What happens when you do?
@@hotsawce3546 ahaha 3 years later : it could get distorded or saturated
@@Hunaiko Thanks for the timely response lol
@@hotsawce3546 hahah He's right tho. but its not that bad in Lukes case
This should watch everyone who says garrix or hardwell are good djs.
Jjooam Jkaxk they are good producers, but not that great djs
They aren't good producers, either. Their scoring is (when they actually do it by themselves for once) far below average, and the overall production quality is only good because of the people behind the scenes producing their stuff.
Garrix's stuff is not ghostproduced. He just does a lot of collabs, but that is not 'behind the scenes' because everybody can see their collaboration.
i prefer techno music, but i also have respect for this guy. he is a good dj, most of the edm djs are shit, like the ones you said
Hardwell is a really good DJ. Just cause he uses a simple DJ transition all the time doen't make him a bad DJ. It's about making creating good energy and he does that very well! Look at Tomorrowland 2013, Fifteen drop. Then you'll se what I'm talking about.
That was amazing Luke! Been watching all your djsounds sets, but this video really cleared my mind on some details! Hope u come to Brazil again soon! Cheers!
Thank you so much Luke. Nothing more helpful than receiving tips from your favorite DJ! Love the vid, keep them coming please.
So much buttons to click, i prefer flying an airplane.....
I've watched them all now, please do more of these - you're awesome!!!
Really appreciated this episode. Would love to see more as one who is currently learning and aspiring!
Luke thank you for this! Please do more of these! This was so interesting and informative!
You are the best DJ ever, and my inspiration.
This was totally awesome to watch you do this and see the commentary. I've been a huge fan for years and years, and this commentary alone helped me understand more about your approach and how you mix than anything I've ever seen you do previously. I would love to see a lot more of this, maybe even longer sets, too.
love this dude..
because hes real... this is dee-jaying 101. #1 (u gotta love music)
#2 (you gotta have a personality)
#3 (you gotta practice alot!)
#4 (you gotta get out there and fight for your place in the world as a dee-jay)
#5 (never give up)
Amazing video man, watching years later and seeing such thought and time put into this probably made the world of DJ's a better place. Good shit
thanks for this video laidback! one of the best dj!
please more ! that's the most helpful thing i've seen from you ! tnx
That's absolutely what I expect from a DJ! Thanks for keeping up the culture Luke!
Of course we need more movies like this one. Can't wait!
this episode is amazing, a great look into how you approach dj'ing, the captions are a great touch as well!
My favourite video you have done yet. Next to the DJ seminar.
This is one of the most helpful dj videos I've seen. Would love to see more djs do this. Thanks much for this LL, and keep em coming!
Yo, this series is AMAZING! Learning so much, keep em coming!
great idea for this video, and I love the captions, it helps me understand much more about the mixin process.
thanks and can't wait for the next episodes !!
Definitely enjoy this mixing, helps me become better and gives me ideas. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Absolutely love this, dude! Please keep em coming!
Thanks for this video! I learned so much from your comments that I can't wait to practice on. Hope to see more of these videos from you!
Luke, you are one of the best DJs in the world! I've learned so much from your videos. Thank you so much.
Thanks for your vlogs man. Old school vinyl guy myself. Recently bought a controller for all the newer tracks I’ve accumulated and your tutorials have really helped polish all the ins and outs of newer tech. Please keep em coming.
Loved the video! Would like to see another, possibly part 2, but have it be longer. Great work Luke!
Amazing DJ tutorial, thank you for this Laidback Luke
This was by far one of the most helpful DJ tutorials I have ever watched...and I have watched A LOT
I loved this!!! Really helps all Dj's out there so please do longer ones and more!!! I really enjoyed this video because a dream of mine is to DJ at festivals and watching you do your thing is inspirational!!!
This is an invaluable video. Laidback Luke you've been my favorite DJ since 2008 when I started listening to the electronic genre and since then you have been my main influence!
Thank you for your efforts in sharing this video. More please.
Luke is the man, found those videos very fun & useful
You are a master! I love this and would love to see more and longer videos!
Great video! More videos like this please. Your videos always provide us with something new to learn, and this 15 minute session was just perfect.
amazing mix!! over the years from hearing your sets, you've inspired me for my own DJ sets in the types of techniques you use. Adding my own character to them has given my own techniques a signature sound almost for DJing. Love the vlogs! keep at it!
You're the number ONE for me! Thank you for the videos!
More of these please! And the 15 minutes length is just nice! Thank you for uploading this!
Nice! this is 100X more informative and teaching then all those tutorials out there!
thank you
Best DJing tutorial!!! Please do more episodes like this.
