Hey James you are too young to know this probably, but in the early 2000's there was this hit called Lazy by David Byrne. Top progressive Dj's were spinning the Normal Cook remix mostly). The song lyrics has the word stop at some point, and quickly djs found out they could stop the turntable at that same moment (stop sounded slurred down of course by doing that). It gave a very similar effect you achieved here (1 bar of silence or so). Your skills and tweaking on the decks remind me of Jamez Zabiela. I'm a boomer that's why I mention all this classic djs haha).
I wish pros would post more clips of near fails like this ..... It sure af takes some pressure off perfection that most us musicians seek after especially during something live. Thanks James hype needed this bro
Fr. I was just at a show on Saturday where the dj was blowing my mind the whole time and then at one point I heard a track come in at the wrong time and the beat was all misaligned before he quickly fixed it and it made me so happy to see they're not perfect gods haha
@@bachtell there's an awesome boiler room where the casual gabberz lose one deck mid set cos the line out isn't connected properly, ironically it was the chap rolling hardest that finds the problem..
His mixes are so technical and he's mixing live so he's bound to make mistakes, makes the experience much more real and will be different everytime he performs the same mix.
@@chiefstain yes the sync button is a great tool, means DJ's have time to be more creative with the mixes, chopping, looping, acapellas and effects, rather than spending all their time making sure the tracks are running same speed and in sync.
@@LiamBranch People have been beat matching quickly for decades. The sync button is so retards can do it too. Imagine a guitar that fretted the chords for you, all you had to do is strum and add effects. To be fair it kind of already exists in the shape of guitar hero, or look at that driver nailing Nordschleife, the braking and acceleration are automatic - but wow can that kid steer !
@@chiefstain you can get the beats pretty close in a short space of time but you will still be making adjustments as they won't be perfectly aligned. Digital mixing is relatively new and if they had this technology 20/30 years ago I'm sure all the non sync DJ's would have been using it to make the most of all the extra features on offer. A few DJ's create new music within their sets, adding a whole new experience, something they would struggle to do without beat sync. Beat matching isn't a very hard thing to master, I could teach someone to beat match quicker than James Hype could teach someone how to do his transitions and mashups.
So he was playing Vini Vici - The Tribe and stretched that out and manually played Hardwell - Countdown, beat drop and then took a pause and dropped his beat-drop 🙈
Easily one of the most agonizing things you can do live. First time I ever did this was when I finally got a headline spot and believe me my save didn’t go near as smooth.

Respect for this vid mate. I've seen you make mistakes in your live streams, like anyone would when they are juggling so much stuff at once, but you pull a little face and you move on gracefully. Most people would never even notice. It's a real skill.
brilliant! somehow that worked perfectly. the buildup/annoyance from the receptiveness, then the relief/letdown from the music stopping, followed by picking back up seemingly intentionally. really played with the crowd's emotions, would have thought it was intentional.
@@guido69x xddd definitely not, nobody uses this. When you have a festival big like this, there is a Lighting designer either tour or house, depend on the size of the festival and the DJ, for example Alok has his own LD that he brings to festivals, and he programs the lights beforehand as small scenes that he changes as he feels like. Or if we are talking a tour, for example Martin Garrix tour, he has his own LD and the show is timecoded (every second of music is programmed with the lights beforehand) and just synced with timecoded and they just run the sequence of the song (that's why if you watch Martin Garrix Amsterdam and Ultra for example, the songs are litterly the exact same and the queue is almost identical). Since James likes to mix on stage and do this kind of staff, there is a person choosing the scenes on the parts of the song (you can actually see him at 0:31 I believe, he is just starring him down, waiting for the drop so he can turn on the lights.
@@jaroslavlajta It was me mate lol, yeah i was expecting a drop and it never came. So i just watching what he was doing and i soon as i felt it would drop it hit the cue. Tbh i don't even know how to setup timecode as I've only ever worked with showcad, and wouldn't have the time to program everything everytime i worked with an act, just for it to do the same thing i'd do live
Sick! Sounded super epic! I listened many times, and I do not hear any mistake, it's only visible when watching due to the body language and the flashing text. I loved the pause, it kicked it hard. Must all have been divinenly planned.. in music, stuff always gets even better by mistakes 😉
Most DJ's don't utilize silence for some odd reason. Silence far more suspenseful than using drops. Drops are extremely predictable no matter how good the sequencing

I like a pause of silence before the beat kicks in anyway. I think it hits harder.
No
It’s the awareness of the pause in between noises 😏 that’s being present and you know it 👌🏽
You can put a gate to make a silence break almost until a drop
Cant yous?
While completely fucking up phrasing and timing? You must be a shittier dj than him.

With this much practice and music bg its easy, but 100% beast mode
I mean counting 4 beats in your head is not that difficult. Nonetheless perfectly executed but also possible due to good hot cues.
All djs should practice counting to 4….
manual hot cue?
Counting 4 beats isn’t that hard plus you have the display in front of you. Not hating but it just isn’t that difficult.
