[@teipoturi3808]

ALORS DJ 😎👊👆BONSA TRANSITION ASSURÉ 😎✌️🎶🎶🎶

[@khimeradabz137]

You can definitely feel the experience this guy brings. I can only wish that one day I can reach that skill level🔥

[@Milkeeyy]

Nice switch up and tempo match - assuming some effect to isolate the vocals?

[@JayThomasDJ]

using the Serato Stems feature to isolate vocals 👍

[@yumxhtutkai8591]

Show this skill to James hype and teach him this is called actual djing ;_;

[@xGorefieldx]

That was so smooth, it sounded like thats just the way the track sounds. Wow 👏👏

[@havik3420]

As a dj of 16 years I got to say props dude that was clean

[@MuiGohan]

[@sonjagupton819]

Dope!

[@TherealSpringtime]

Sick transition 🎉

[@nobbystyles4807]

thats actually a decent mix mate. ive been mixing a long ass time and few guys actually get genre transitions. especially with pop and lets be honest thats where the money is.

[@JayThomasDJ]

Thanks mate, appreciate your comments 🙌

[@LaphobaOfficial]

Theres a lot of fake buttons on that controller….

[@tobietera]

You have literally no idea what you're talking about 😒

[@PatrickHRegan]

I like this

[@RobOakley]

are you using stems?

[@itsrova]

Wowwww

[@richardbates4120]

Vanilla

[@tj_1260]

Nice

[@robertolajos8523]

Good party

[@kanyefuck7018]

Yeah it helps when one track is 88bpm.

[@lukasplattner4581]

We need this track

[@Fullmodulation]

Subfocus Alarm

[@leptosurreal460]

nice

[@mcsigu]

Hey - is this part of a mix you have uploaded here? Would love to hear the whole set! 🔥

[@JayThomasDJ]

I haven't used this mashup in a mix but I might do in future!

[@theyoungcommander]

Transition was great. But-- He keeps turning nobs lol -- what is he supposed to be doing with the nonstop nob touching?

[@JayThomasDJ]

If you film yourself doing something, driving, using a computer, etc you'll probably notice you do the same kind of thing, it's incredibly hard & unnatural to stand perfectly still not touching anything, especially when you're thinking about possible changes to make to whatever you're doing...

[@theyoungcommander]

@@JayThomasDJ thank you

[@JayThomasDJ]

No problem, I totally understand why it looks "fake" but it's just more to do with natural habits which you only really spot when it's on a close up video like this!

[@theyoungcommander]

@@JayThomasDJ almost like dancing

[@asmkawsar]

💙🔥💙

[@rubenperez6563]

Niiiiice

[@vannessaisaason419]

[@varde450]

I hate when you can see, pro dj touching 1000 buttons but really pressing only 2 or 3.... pfff

[@juanacarrillo6281]

That shit clean my boy ,what kind of CDJ are those ? And worth?

[@JayThomasDJ]

Thanks! It's a mix of a controller (Pioneer DDJ-SZ2) and 1 CDJ (CDJ2000 nxs 2) - I wouldn't know how much they'd cost now unfortunately, I don't think either are available to buy new anymore so would depend on 2nd hand costs etc

[@rodrigoaf1982]

🤙🤙🤙

[@jeikobu_jeikobu]

Wait.. he switched the crossfader all the way over.. it’s not mixing. He’s going from an original to a dnb remix. This doesn’t count as a “mashup”.

[@JayThomasDJ]

The crossfader is set to "thru" on all channels, it makes no difference where the crossfader is...

[@jeikobu_jeikobu]

@@JayThomasDJso then why was it used on the switch?

[@01..38]

Whats the dnb song used?

[@DJJUmp3]

a little bit late but sounds like: sub focus -alarm

[@MrSuperdave75]

A pro DJ plays pop? Oh well

[@tobietera]

Why wouldn't they?

[@MrSuperdave75]

@tobietera oh they might. At a wedding.

[@incogcheeto9322]

He was moving his hands alot for not alot of change in the music

[@olegoksentyuk2424]

Вогінь) 🇺🇦

[@solidbreak6371]

But why...

[@mwendelen]

Why do most djs i see use headphones

[@JayThomasDJ]

I wear in-ear monitors instead of headphones most of the time now, they're had to see in the video as they fit right in my ears and they're a clear-ish colour

[@mwendelen]

@@JayThomasDJ oooo never knew people used those thats sick

[@JayThomasDJ]

@@mwendelen yeah, they've recently started to become much more popular with DJs!

[@SillyCat01]

That was so fake. You cross the channels but never mixed same somg was playing. Cross over needs to be in the middle to mix.
Anybody else notice.???

[@JayThomasDJ]

Pretty much all professional standard DJ equipment allows for the cross-fader to be disabled as it is in this video. Most professional DJs, especially those who mainly played commercial/house/edm have the cross-fader set to thru mode on all channels - It's primarily scratch DJs who use the cross-fader, very few DJs use it to mix.

[@lordbutler482]

Real DJs don’t mix genres

[@jeikobu_jeikobu]

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve read today.

[@funkndeep]

Pro-tip: Just don't go from pop to drum n bass 😅😅 People that like drum n bass more.than likely don't want to hear pop and vice versa

[@JayThomasDJ]

As someone who's spent the last 10 years DJing student nights around the UK 3-5 times a week during uni term time I can assure you there's plenty of people happy to hear pop & dnb in the same night...

[@tobietera]

You shouldn't be giving "pro-tips" if your not a pro to begin with Claudia 🙄

[@clicheriddler9701]

Literally did nothing 😂

[@JayThomasDJ]

So the 2 songs mixed themselves together by ✨ magic✨I guess...

[@tobietera]

The fact you think that shows that it was a decent mix.

[@jeikobu_jeikobu]

@@JayThomasDJ but you just cut the crossfader over to the remix. There wasn’t any mixing.

[@Chrismontt]

Pro really ???

[@JayThomasDJ]

Well DJing has been my full time job for nearly 10 years, so I guess so 🤷‍♂️

[@Chrismontt]

@@JayThomasDJ so that means I'm a pro to ... 25years and back in the 90s this shit was not ready like with all the gimmicks

[@JayThomasDJ]

I really don't understand the obsession with old DJs wanting to stick in the past. Things change, technology opens up so many more ways for DJs to be creative, why stick to the same old boring way you played in the 90s?

[@Chrismontt]

@@JayThomasDJ You say creative, there nothing creative about moving nobs and looping tracks your not doing that the machine does that ... and I'm not stuck I just got bored by the way the industry works the more gadgets you have they thinks its better. Why you do think Armin is so famous is not because of the moving nobs, its because he's a clean mixer what do you think he got that from ???

[@tobietera]

​​@@ChrismonttAh theres nothing like the jealousy of a failed DJ 😂

[@davidmichael3189]

It's not D&B there's no drums and no bass it's called Tech Step

[@JayThomasDJ]

"No drums" 🤦🤣

Stems right?

Yes, Serato stems!
