Love these videos, would you consider doing one for hard techno? I find it extremely fun to mix
OK, this comment has enough support for me to do this. I'll look into now and will aim to do asap - will move it up the schedule.
techno would be hectic
@Rekit Ralph Seconded - would love to see Andrew mix some Acid Techno!
@@maxdee9525 i do techno on 3 decks with a sample bank. its hella fun. techno is the most fun to layer and mess about with i find, its like the base for your creativity. plus you can basically remix tracks live using loops and FX now. my GF plays piano too so going to try having her on my 4th channel live and see how that goes.
Mate, your energy and enthusiasm is truly unmatched and it makes me really happy whenever I get a notification from you. Gods work right there you legend 🙏🏽
Thanks so much I really appreciate this!
As often as possible at home, i jump on the 1210's to remind myself how its done without anything to help you - Swear it helps get myself out of trouble when things go pear shaped when on CDJ
My mates keep threatening to do an all-vinyl night, but CDJs are just waaaay too easy when you're nearing pension age! i done my time walking across town with records cases balanced on a Coffin flight case at 4 in the morning!
Loved it mate, some absolute nailed-on beasts got span there, and I've nicked one or two ID's for me own future use! \o/
I really like to do no prep. Not only because I'm a bit (understatement) lazy, but I really enjoy the surprise factor when you're about to switch base lines and it comes out awesome. Feels like a million dollars.
But thinking about it. This way of mixing we end up mixing alot more on the build up then on the outro. And you're an old school guy like me, mixing in the easy areas was considered kind of cheating.
i love getting some new tracks. sorting by key and just jamming, seeing what goes with what and sometimes you hit gold dust. its a great feeling isnt it? or like when 2 vocal samples just align and make a new chorus or something.
Love your videos and your amazing energy, thank you
Man nice video. Love your energy.
To be honest I just got so exited to Dj without a screen that I had to stop your video and try it myself. 😅 But after an 1:30 hour long session I am back and now even more hyped. 🔥
Love it that you're using Eckhart Tolle as one of the books to cover the screens! 100% agree it's about feeling the music. Have to give it a try, take me back to the old vinyl days.
Beautifully precise, pleasant tutor. Thank you for putting this out for free ❤
Awesome waiting for the next VIDEO. Love all of your videos especially the ones where you mix. Keep up that energy man
Appreciate it! I'll try to make more mixing based videos then :)
So refreshing to hear melody’s and some vocals. This is so nice to listen to 👏
I love his positive energy, he is giving good vibes and a great tutorial
Your vibe is just spectacular brother. Thank you for your effort and all these great tutorials 🙏
I really appreciate this, sorry for late reply, things been crazy this year, love it!
Really grateful for this. Perfect timing as I’m working with modular gear and production, and I’m trying to nail a genre that can be worked on live. I’d got it down to techno and melodic, but really needed to see how I could approach things. This answers all questions :D
i find ethnic type vibes work really well in that environment. you have sample banks etc to use for it? i use traktor with 3 decks and an F1 for samples and it gives so much flexibility. you can link ableton etc in with all that if producing too. i lack the production skills so i make up with samples and loops and an extra deck.
Good very good! Like your vibe man, thaaanks for evthng!
Amazing. Always love your videos so much. I learn tons and you are one of the only people who really looks like they’re enjoying playing and teaching 💙I’m working through all your courses and absolutely loving them 💜
Thank you so much!!
I'm learning DJing techno and 4 songs here are in my playlist too. Very informative 💯♥️
Full of Joy!!! That's beautiful
awesome...super helpful...loved the explain, describe, explain, watch format...super helpful. Beginner dj here. Very helpful. Thank you!!
So stoked on today’s video - my personal favorite genres
excellent stuff 9am dance off in my kitchen good start to the day
Inspirational! Thanks Andrew!
Hello, I really appreciate the way you're explaining and teaching. After I saw couple of your great explanation videos I see I have to try different way of learning. I just watched few DJ videos before and tried to learn, how they do it. But without any explanations like you're doing. So I learned myself and I felt it is not good enough till now. So after two years of streaming live sets I'm in the beginning again. Many thanks for your great work. You're so huge inspiration for me. Thank you so much and good luck !
Andrew - Thankyou. Really great uplifting session. Great tunes and your positive vibes are felt through watching you . Bloody amazing 🤩
Glad you enjoyed it
Great advice, back in the vinyl days we knew our tracks soooo well, to the point of boredom, we always had groups of 2's and 3's that we could put together in different ways to create a set. The boredom soon disappeared when the crowd came along for the journey.
Melodic/Progressive, THE WAY.
I'M A BEGINNER :) i love how you speack with sooo mutch emotion, thank you for taking this time to teach people like me :) 🙌😊
This is the episode I’ve been waiting for!
Great work!!!!!!! Thank you so much I am going to try this!!! I'm used to only using the tempo slider to match BPMS, but this seems to be more useful. I will definitely try this!!!!
Have fun!
Brilliant as usual! Love your tracks selections 🙌
Thank you 🙌
love the transition at 21 min. I hear again a trace bit of "dream of heaven". You fade back in bits of the old track that way playing that's neat. Like a memory test / trick.
Excellent video, thank you a lot!
Love your vids mate, really show your love for music, half way through your course and loving it.
Learned the hard way 25 years ago on vinyl from a mate of mine then fell out of it until now. Now I'm learning the hard way on a controller 🤣
Keep up the good work mate.
Thanks so much I really appreciate this!
What Phenomenal Skills and Vibe . Music sounds so soothing and on Point
You are class and thank. I am a Living Room Dj and an avid listener of all electronic music trying to keep her lit. Been djing house and techno to couches for a few years now but ive always struggled with my personal favorite genre melodic. Ive learned to keep the sets interesting during the low and often extended low points in the songs that the couches die with. Fair play to ya man
Salute Mate! from another DJ you are the best teacher of all CZcams you vids always have and brings good vibes, u skills are top, music selection and transitions are exquisite, keep up the excellence and love for music.
Thanks Erik, I really appreciate this
One of a kind, a pure gem this guy is!
30:46 moment of sheer bliss. thanks for doing this exercise Andrew
Banging set and as always nice to see you work the decks!
Much appreciated!
This is great. Thank you Master.
This is an all-time great tutorial for Beat matching.
I love Artbat & Matador & you mate! Cheers for All the input! Can just recommend all of your Online DJ Courses, it has been a great help ❤
Much appreciated!
Great tunes and tutorial Andrew!
Ps the course is great
you are amazingly helpful🙏love your vibe and that you show it with my beloved music❤ happy i found you on youtube
and you use a book of eckart tolle😅 how amazing is that
Nice one, was waiting for it Andrew. Thank U 🔥🔊
🙌
Hey man I love your vids I'm a new dj in NZ and ive learnt most my stuff off your vids. I am now doing weddings and a resident dj at a bar in Christchurch nz. Keep up the vids 🙂
That is awesome!
Learned a lot! Thank you!
This video is an amazing experience
Amazing video 👌, guys share with us ur best techno playlist plzz
Thanks for this amazing tutorial bro 👊
Amazing sounds
My favorite video by far!
Best DJ channel on CZcams 💯
Excellent choice of tracks. Great topic too. Before I moved away from a console to CDJs, I was obsessed with looking at the screen and matching the BPMs exactly (.00s). Now I do not blind my screens, but use this technique, when I can hear the tracks are misaligning after a couple of bars and apparently I have to either slow down or speed up one of them. Then the fine adjustment of the tempo fader does the trick. It is really helpful when I want a loop to keep on playing ion the background for a while without having to correct the alignment over and over again. It is really a great habit. But here and then I admit I sin using BPM sync :-)
Haha nothing wrong with sync, and I often use it when prepping, but I just try to ring home, people should know how to beat match so if they find themselves in a difficult position they have solid understandings of how it all works - sounds like you already have that level of understanding - great work Martin!
you have the best energy ever... you light up any room
I'm flattered thank you
Love the Eckhart Tolle!
That’s super hard, 👊, much respect
Mesmerising as always craftsman at work ❤
Thank you so much 😀
OOOOOOWEEE that intro and mix caught me. Reminded me of when I was younger, running to the drum 🥁 cyrcle, Superfantastic W🔥W Haaaahaaa I love it
cool Tutor , cool Lessons🎉
I'm going to try this
Incredible
Legendary stuff mate
Love your style man…. This was the kind of music we used to dance to back at the MOS LONDON… I play & mix a lot of soulful house… love the feel to it and to be honest it’s easy to mix… you gotta feel it and that’s where I hear other DJs who are starting out don’t get it! (do you turn your cross fader off?) I don’t do any scratching and I do find if it’s left on I’ve accidentally moved it slightly which messes the volume sound. Happy valentines!
i think with people using more than 2 channels a lot now crossfader kind of lost its use unless scratching. i never use mine its just there to knock and screw me up haha
Hey Andrew, awesome video, as per usual! Would you be able to do one of soulful house, something where there’s a lot of vocal bits, would be cool to see how you would balance out vocal tracks with more instrumental/voiceless tracks
Great suggestion!
I'm stopping the video right now, I need to try this. It is soooo fun!
Great Teacher👍👍
The fact you have an Eckhart Tolle book makes this video even better!
amazing
great tutorial thank you 👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
nice to see Eckhart on this party 😄🙏 11:45 much love bro ❤✌ It is delightful to observe how you balance your inner child and adult self! ❤🔥
Your videos are very cool!! I enjoy mixing trance and have used a lot of your techniques that you show with melodic techno/house! I haven't found a dedicated trance episode, would you ever be down to do one?
trance relies a lot on melodies. my advice would be to try and mix in key and watch your melody loops. dont clash them too much, use your EQs. echo/delay & reverb etc on the synths and stuff works really well too. trance really doesnt like being mixed as much as other stuff like techno tho as often more things going on.
i like to say bring a loop with some of the next track pretty early, just to get the listener used to a hint of the next track. loops are your friends here. trance also doesnt like to be that aggressively mixed i find. its all about blending into like a seamless experience/vibe. some tracks the melodies will compliment and some sound awful. best to just try and see which go into each other. i used to DJ a lot of psychadelic trance in the 90s and that stuff was super hard to do much with. so many things going on. modern trance is much easier tho to play around with.
mushrooms hitting hard bro, keep up ! :D
This is bizarre. A few days ago I was trying out a new Audio Book on my afternoon walk. Wanting to become the best version of myself I decided on Eckhart Tolle: The Power of Now. Later (Wanting the become a better DJ) I watched some videos by my Favourite DJ and positive person when something on Deck 1 caught my eye.
Almost 50 now and i hope to enjoy myself behind the decks as much as you for a very long time. Buying the book seems like a good start. Andrew, thanks for the inspiration.
I’m exposed by this genre after listening camel phat’s creamfields steelyard 2021. And interested to learn more. Thanks for the knowledge from this video!
I think you just cured my depression brother
sir your smile , i am fan of you
nice tutorial, I don't want to fancy myself.
* prepare before playing. because many songs do not start in signature 1/4 but 3/4 or even 6/8 and many people confuse the notion that 1 beat in a song is always No. 1 and this is a mistake. especially techno and melodic techno. I think that without headphones on monitors or sound system is the best learning system many songs do not reflect the nature of the headphones
Again really good job !
I'm not surprised to see a book of eckhart tolle in this video! you're videos are awesome and you're an awesome teacher with a great personality. hope you're going to do what you love for a long long time!
Wow, thank you!
Even on vinyl you could see what the tracks did by looking at the grooves - that's what the pop up light was for
yeah man, reading the grooves. not as easy as now with spectrum tho as it gives you a better idea (can see synth coming etc) plus you can even see the beats.
Really awesome mate. Keeper doing what you do❤ Where do you find your medolic house and techno. My record pools dont have that much in that genre💩
Fuk Yeah please more videos like this Andrew its always great to watch you doing a mix
Thanks so much I really appreciate this!
Nice playlist and awsome mix mate, love the track at 28:54 !
Thanks ✌️
I opened for Dombresky at Penn State University in the states last Thursday and it was awesome, couldn't have done it without you man, club gear is intimidating but I was ready. Also, this is one of my favorite videos you have put out in a while, definitely getting into melodic and techno after seeing this. Wish I could see you play live one day. Maybe a little trip to the land down unda lol. Thanks brotha.
Is there a good club scene for quality music at Penn State? Thinking about doing my masters there but unfamiliar with the area
@@pastelle_music honestly no, not at all. There are a few spots but it’s mostly just your average college bar scene.
Sounds great Mike. Yeah I know re: best video of late, I have been playing catch up post end of year party season!!! Appreciate your support :)
@@pastelle_music come to Miami 🤙🏼
Hide U (Tinlicker Extended Remix) is just on another level!!!
Your style of mixing and song choice is very similar to mine it's weird to watch, even the low volume spinbacks! Some people won't even hear that but the subtlety works best for what I like.
An alternative idea if it's possible.... have 1 channel on the video playing the main out and the other channel as the cue, basically what you've got set for your headphones so people can listen with headphones and hear how your cueing, beat matching, phrasing etc. Would sound weird as a normal video but as a teaching video might work?
Appreciate your efforts 👌
Love your energy and love for the music!! How were you able to ensure that the tracks you were playing didn't clash with vocal sections?
With difficulty - educated guesses
How the fuck have you only 50k views. This video has changed my whole outlook on learning to dj. So inspiring, I've picked out a nice towel to throw on the screen
❤❤Excellent !!!!!
I’m from the “know your music” school. The “payday is record shopping day” go to the record store look, look, listen buy “your sound” school of Djing. This is/feels the same as that. Question, are you able to see the track names or just loading the next track that sounds good from the loaded playlist? & you might have said it but, are they the same playlist on both or are they two different ones? Thanks! It’s awesome to see/hear the things we’ve been doing for years explained and demonstrated for the next generation. We had to figure out how to do the stuff that kinda comes “pre packaged” now.🤙🏾✌🏾
Duuuuude. Found this video looking for tips on mixing melodic house & techno in advance of my first club gig next month. I've never Dj'd in public before. Pretty much taught myself how during Covid on my friend's decks one night. Not even 20 minutes into the video, I purchased your entire course. Your passion and sheer excitement for what you're doing seems unparalleled and I can't wait to dive into all the content you've created!
How was it?
When beat matching, I like to just have my hand on the tempo fader. It's smoother that way too, especially with vinyl. Nudging it makes it go "wurb wurb" sometimes.
Awesome video no visuals is cool! I mix like that sometimes because my setup is 2 turntables and a mixer so i use DVS and put on absolute mode and let it flow like the old days! Can't you choose vinyl mode on a CDJs without the visuals? Thanks for showing this keep the art of Dj alive
When you select vinyl mode on a CDJ it doesn't effect / change the visuals at all, it only makes the top of the jogwheel act like a vinyl :)
@@ClubReadyDJSchool awesome it would be cool if the CDJs had this feature but just put the books on top was cool makes more chalenging! Nice mix btw 👍🏼
Hey Andrew, thanks again for a wonderful mix and insight in your DJ techniques. I think I placed a similar comment before, but I would love to see you play a harder techno set with music where the waveform tends to be one big line making it a lot harder to phrase correctly and where you need to rely on your ears even more than with melodic techno I feel. Keep up the good work!
If you want I can look into it, but it'd help if you emailed me the list of some tracks and artists that do this that you'l like to hear mixed and I can at least have a look :)
@@ClubReadyDJSchool That would be absolutely stellar! What email address can I send it to?
@@camels3269 andrew@clubreadydjschool.com
35.56 The transition is siiiiickkk
Loved this video and your passion,
Are your 20 chosen tracks in close range of bpm and keys?
Correct :)
Amazing content ! Thanks a lot for all these amazing tips. All the best mate 🔊
My pleasure!
