    Hey, Guys, In this weeks video I am going to talk about mixing between different BPMS with the 5 top BPM transitions.
    One of the most common questions I get asked is how to move between different speed tracks when DJing.
    I have decided to compile a list of my TOP 5 ways to mix between different tempo tunes when you are playing live.
    I hope these ways help you and make you think about more creative ways to mix between tracks.

      Phil Harris hello Phill, thanks for the video tutorial... i am a dj as well and I wanted to ask something.. in order for the sync to work properly on the tracks, do you have the quantize on? If so, to what specification, 1 beat, half, etc... sometimes i try syncing rock and hiphop but i noticed i have to set/manually adjust the grid for the rock tracks (specially old songs) because the grid sets them a little off... thanks

    I was a DJ for a loooooong time (like, 20 years, clubs and private functions) nobody EVER came to me and said "Wow, what a great transition you made between X song and Y song". If you don't make something TERRIBLY WRONG, people care only about songs selection. And, on the other hand, been on clubs and partys saying "this DJ sucks, that was aweful" and my friends were like "What are you talking about, this song is awesom".

    This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and I really appreciate your light-hearted and humorous approach…
    I’ve noticed that a lot of DJ teachers are more interested in looking smart than they are at effectively transferring knowledge… so thank you for doing the latter… 🙏🏼

Phil keeps it simple and raw. Say it as you see it.... keep the crowd on the floor, take away all the technicalities

    Good on you mate, I've been a DJ for twenty years & I clicked this vid thinking I MIGHT learn something but that it would probably be terrible - but you're great fun to watch, you don't take yourself too seriously, and you explain your techniques nice & clearly.
    DJs in general take themselves far, far too seriously. You don't, and what's more, I bet your gigs are tons of fun as a result. Keep it up 👏👏👏

    At times and when I know the crowd after a few sets, what I do is have a little fun with the crowd by quickly mixing in a popular movie or TV soundtrack where the BMP is taken away from the equation. For example Robin Williams's "Good Morning Vietnam" Bang, right into an upbeat song, for example, like - Journey's "Anyway you want it". It works because everyone knows all these popular Movie and TV song themes. Try it, you'll like it especially when you know when you can get away with it.

    Thanks Phill. Can you please do video about setting up cue points and color code them as indicated to guid example red 8 bar intro/yellow 4bar intro/green vocal etc. and put more cues based on the song structure....
    And another one is library management and how to keep sets more organized

    People read into things to much I’m 51 been playing music to crowds and been a vibes man on the microphone in places like the Notting hill carnival and in dancehall venues, festivals..
    Since I was 17 I’ve been a dj, and I still can’t mix and all the other flash stuff that professional djs do...
    I play music that I think the crowd will like and that normally does the trick..
    The black man don’t even get the credit for starting the whole house music scene off in the first place, you get all those hyped up wankers on capital radio and radio 1 thinking they are the dogs bollocks but they don’t want to recognise who started it..
    I own some nice equipment x2 rcf 8003 subs, x2 rcf nx 32a, x2 rcf 715 mk4s, x2 rcf 712mk4s, a pioneer ddj sx2 a ddj sx3, and 5 beta 58 microphones, bt t bar lighting systems mic stands by gravity, fender strat electric guitar, burns London electric guitar and much more..I don’t really no how to really use any of it properly .. but the main thing is I try..

      Absolutely right !!! Only anoraks study beat matching and mixing, real people don't care much !! Pete Tong isn't a good mixer but he can read a crowd and play's what they want !! BTW, yeah, I can mix pretty well but that's not the point, give .. the .. people .. tunes .. they .. want .. !!!!

    Thanks Phil. Nice tips and O totally agree: Track selection is essentially essential.

  • @bloepje
    @bloepje Před 5 lety +4

    As someone enjoying a party, I would love the DJ to hit that sync button, if that's what it takes him to select the next songs. Just simple transitioning over to the next song is not a thing I like, a good DJ changes the song a bit, playing with the transitions, maybe add some other songs in the distance to confuse my song memory, and maybe chops it up. But I really don't care if he uses sync or not.
    And that's where you hit the most important spot: the crowd doesn't care, just don't interrupt the flow.

    Nice one Phil...decent vid...gets me down how self-righteous everybody is...ive dj'd a long time vinyl, cd, minidisc, tape and now days digital. I enjoy all formats and styles,. Ive done clubs, pubs, social clubs and even funerals. The things we use are tools and all the varied effects and tricks go into the toolbox. My advice to all is enjoy what ever your doing, entertain whoever you can and get paid for it if your lucky enough but above all, dont be a dick about it.

    I'm no DJ but when you go to electronic music parties (like techno, house, even uptempo and shit) everybody is waiting for good mixes rather than a banger. People do get way more into the music rather than getting drunk with friends on these kinds of parties though.

    You are just AMAZING. Thank you for keeping it real.and certainly thanks for the sense of humour and to explain thing SO CLEARLY. You are the kind of DJ i aspire to be. Making people dance and have fun. All the rest is just a bunch of ego's showing of fancy technical skills nobody really cares for and in general those are the DJ's that can't DANCE. Just geeks hiding behind a set of knobs. LOL
