The Art of DJing: CCL - Expansive digging methods for Discogs

Finding new music is a key part of any DJ's practice. From their home in Berlin, CCL demonstrates the digging techniques they use: from unlikely search terms to the gifts of the comment sections.
Production:
Marbella Studio - Diego Jordi Perret, Jose M. Sanchez

man I was envious watching this, CCL didn't get the Discogs youtube player error once..

[@rickmuffin5201]

When I encounter an error, I click on the playlist icon in the upper right corner of the player, select a song, and it works. I don't know if this method will work for you !

[@davidmicalizzi1593]

I usually play the first song, and if i'd like to check out the next one, i just click the > arrow on the player itself instead of clicking on the next track from the playlist (which is usually when i encounter the error!)

[@alexmorris8613]

😂😂😂

[@Ethereal7503]

Not blocking ads might be why.

[@kiqidj]

For real 🙃

[@RoryBreakR]

This is brilliant. Back in my day I had to walk uphill both ways to the thrift store, only to dig through someone's entire Barbara Streisand Christmas collection.

[@TREK5900cheats]

bruh that bandcamp plugin is crazy

[@dairyfreealternatives]

There is also one for CZcams that I use a lot!

where can i find it

[@piccell244]

I need that plugin

[@gustavodavila3220]

I need it omg

[@jeremyschrader9014]

Fricken golden digging tips. Djs so lucky nowadays with this type of knowledge available at their fingers!

[@Paperbagman555]

Awesome video. A common trick I love is finding vendors or record store accounts you and sorting their for sale section by ‘highest price’. You can find all sorts of obscure music that people are very fond of there

[@killianmerdrignac2077]

Amazing tips! Been DJing for more than 10 years and this is really going to refresh my digging practices.
I think digging involves a lot of different techniques, some more active or even passive when doing other things but this one is gold! 😍

[@alaeifR]

As a producer with records in the "Abstract, New Age, Acid" category I support this message :)

[@djnax0r]

I haven't watched the whole thing yet, still experimenting with Discogs, all these years and never knew genres were cumulative. Promise I'll watch the rest later once I've crawled out of this rabbit hole of Baleric Thrash Metal

[@CH-vk6zy]

What an inspiring and helpful video! Thank you CCL for such a generous lens into your process!

[@LASHH9669]

Great video. The art of digging is endless, working hard to get off the beaten track but still find good stuff and i think she's nailed it here.

[@strawberryemotion]

dude thank you sm, this is so sick. very generous of you to show us some of your tricks, u are a star :)

[@lizsomes]

Just expanded my world! That plugin is gold. Thank you!

[@ttakamiorama]

Wow CCL, you’ve answered my prayers to learn how to dig!

[@c7lee]

Great message and episode especially in the age of algorithms i.e. online suggestions. I feel platforms are curating towards common directions they are subtly pushing. So much fun in finding gems on ones own.

[@melinasibaja]

Wow… thank you for sharing ❤ btw that plugin is tremendous 😮

[@zikoBC]

Thanks a lot CCL super interesting tips 🎉❤

[@joooooooooooe]

so sick. this is the only digging method that's been able to surpass the old yt sidebar. for anyone that logs into yt, you would train your algorithm using this method and it would open up a new path of discovery

[@faktorx]

could you please give more info about this sidebar? some link or keywords to search for. does it learn your listening habits from bandcamp? thanks :)

[@sebastiangarcia2596]

well said

[@jimmypierson1980]

using this method on youtube ? like typing these kind of tags and check it out ?

[@kiqidj]

Yesss the YT algorithm is mint 👌🏼

[@20kvm]

New Musik is the group that made Warp! Great record/track!! Also amazing tips!

[@MaxiZamac]

Discogs is the best way to find music, love it to bits.

[@xiiqxxa]

SO generously helpful CCL, deep thanks *

[@halli9093]

Love the Add at 5:46 🫶🏼🤭

[@trancextend]

Great!! I been bored lately looking for music. This will take me to the rabbit hole. By the way great taste!!

[@imstillthatlady]

thank you CCL you are amazing!

[@florentinodelarosa1207]

very cool video!

[@gohwell4842]

Real nice way to explore

[@kimverlynl]

amazing video, THANK YOU!!!!!

[@izanbaby]

thanks CCL!

[@Yanayofficial]

Thank you for sharing !🔥🔥

[@enzoeltrago2362]

I do the same when I’m inspired discovering new stuff.
Discogs is simply amazing .
You’re my kind of girl .

[@debtpay]

CCL uses they/them pronouns

[@aceyage]

@@debtpay Seems like one woman to me. Why them? Does she have multiple personalities?

[@user-uj6yq4yv6e]

@@aceyage This comment has been up for over a week and no one finds this funny. Read the room.

[@aceyage]

@@user-uj6yq4yv6e Genuinely curious.

[@invt305]

ccl a real one for this

[@BaltimoreReese]

This is really cool, thanks for sharing as digging through the noise lately has been really mundane and boring through Beatport and other similar platforms

[@mattrix5970]

Great tip thank you

[@Ciel_DJ]

this Scala Beauty Nowhere release is dope

[@kiqidj]

Thanks RA and CCL :)

[@chefarito52]

u just unlocked a whole world for me, thank you so much

[@olivier0202]

Love ccl

[@danselzer]

that bpm/pitch adjust chrome extension is a game-changer. I'd pay for that.

[@Sketchysketches16]

Great vid

[@armin8538]

great method! :)

[@JamieDunnOverride]

Thanks for sharing.
Is there a way to only pick song on Discogs which have. a video attached to them?

[@owen-z.]

this and a blunt

[@pgn-300]

aye boy!!!

[@sammyboyko]

cheers!

[@vodbank9100]

nice finds

[@andrewthorlindgren7596]

who else feels like this was made just for them?

[@andrewthorlindgren7596]

thank you CCL

[@Lulu-dl5ek]

Love this! Where can you find the bpm/pitch adjust extention?

[@beflygelt]

this is interesting, I should try using discogs more myself. RYM is unmatched in terms of genre tagging though bc it's a community vote and they have so many sub-genres. so much better suited for digging for specific styles tbh.

[@alexmakey8428]

🔥🔥

[@youjuhwan9697]

can we also got bandcamp pitch control plugins? where can we find this? and is it also shows BPM info too?

[@tm-ams]

just google bandcamp tempo adjust google chrome extension

[@floris812]

It's a plugin available from Chrome extensions

[@miseryconfusion]

Also available for Firefox

[@alexbarnet6982]

'Bandcamp Tempo Adjust' on chrome extensions

[@wmercer7234]

i used the get butterflies knowing that i was going to dig crates for vinyl. internet searches will never replace that

[@user-ob9zo9cr4c]

class

[@user-eh7rs8tu9t]

❤

[@TheStaubzauger]

Why are YT videos removed from Discogs marketplace on mobile?

[@Dj_Fosset]

Anyone found the plugin for bandcamp ?

[@chuanp2327]

it's on Chrome and Firefox's built-in extension store

[@asap954]

My discogs has like 30 open carts 😅

[@gavinkerslake]

Labels are so cool because you can find more music that *may* sound similar.

[@lieuwetom5758]

My CZcams function on Discogs isn't working. Does anyone have an solution?

[@trianapujol]

Same ):

[@ToFuRoLle]

Sometimes there is an error/bugg then you have to switch from one of the CZcams videos to another and just go back and forth until it loads it properly.. for some this might work or not.

[@dan_rtype]

open up CZcams in another tab and manual search.

[@StanzAmor]

Literally don’t use Discogs for this reason. Needs sorting 😢

[@benjaming4336]

Always busted. Just best to have CZcams in another tab & copy and paste

[@highfive5914]

Those Temu ads though...

[@usted-mismo]

scala !

[@ing_at]

: ) ceci galaxy brain

[@ing_at]

shoutout bobby tempo adjust too

[@Popper818]

inb4 "abstract" gets hella searches after this

[@keinobjekt]

[@ChArLie-SWASTiKO]

[@D3MOR]

Hmm nice ads at 5:45 🤔🧐🧐

[@yunjinin]

haha🤣

[@yalincokyay]

Expansive digging? I only know expensive digging

[@speakatron5634]

😂

[@fakrn]

DJ in using filters shocker

[@smegma43]

irdial RULED !!!

[@laurentmialon2594]

Use me as a LOL emoji

[@boootybounce420]

The year is 2024 and resident advisor has published a video explaining how to search discogs😂😂😂 this has to be a troll. “The art of djing” 😂😂😂😂

[@02backuppp3]

Maybe in next 10 years, same digging method but in nft physical-digital format, it can share royalty direct to producer-record label wallet via blockchain, method like some visual art do in this time

[@feikemanting5258]

iv been thining about this for soem trime, but what stops someone from uploading it to youtube for example. not yt crappy copyright system

[@elektrochava]

she has the tiktok voice

[@ParalyzedSociety]

nothing new- record shops + discogs + yt + bandcamp is standard for music and record research and everyone whos collecting records to death knows that

[@gbrl_cyber]

Deleted my comment, ha?
Sure… RA.

[@matiasss550]

its stupid, go directly to youtube and skip discogs. Wtf.
