      well... coming from a vinyl point of view i feel that even the process and energy of digging in your box looking for the next record to play can translate to an audience as well. ppl see movement, see the physical aspect of handling a medium and it gives off a specific energy which is different to playing a pre-selected set with cue points set and routines and all that.

    As a producer, I highly respect DJ’s. Song selection, transitioning, and effects are easy, but trying to do them good is fucking hard. My skills are shown in the studio, DJ’s skills are shown live. We are two completely different styles of musical expression and can’t be compared. I have respect for both of equal degrees

      @@Nono-mm6zs to each his own i guess... for me it's all about flow and over the 24 years i've been playing out publicly i've even seen myself switching the records i planned to start with 30 seconds before i was on more often than not. there's certain combinations of two records that are inseparable but those are far and few between and mostly involve some weird tricky shit i've come up which no-one else does. that's what i'd call my 'routines' if you will but as i roll on vinyl still even those would be coming out a little different each time.
      it's the same with mixers... some dj's always need that newest model with a gazillion knobs whilst i'd happily play a big room primetime clubset on a super basic stanton m.203 battlemixer - if you're not familiar with it: 3-band-eq, two linefaders, one crossfader, that's it. no fuzz, no fx, nothing. - and would feel 100% confident that i've got this.
      the only reason for pre-prepared (and probably even premixed) sets i get is at a large scale edm festival staged where all the lights and pyrotechnics and everything is synced to the exact timelime of a set for a show effect and big impact. and hiphop-battles, ofc.

    to the dj that did this and thought they were a bad ass. You literally looped 2 beast that ended with “yeah” and brought in a new song. Every local bar dj does this. It’s nothing to get hyped off. The vocals didn’t transition from One More Time’s “yeah” into another song that had a “yeah” or anything similar to make it clever. It was entry level stuff. With the platform/audience you have, I hope you’d be able to do more than just loop a beat and use an echo filter 🙏🙏🙏

    I can break this down
    It's basically down to Rekordbox DJ ( Prep stage )
    He's been working on these transitions
    Has all the hot loops and cue points where he wants them .
    Can any DJ do this what James hype does? Absolutely yes !!!
    Well it's just Sync & quantise , any off cue he hits, he can quickly adjust the platter to regain tempo as you see with fisher ( 50% is software done ) on nexus players
    Looping is quantised , the stop & play trick is only applied on build ups
    ( Just pressing play stop cue in a sequence) off beat but quantise & sync keeps it nice ( just tap side of your deck ) hit cue stop untill it sounds right ( add bit of reverb return and delay 1/2 ) done!
    Nothing against sync or quantise or the DJ
    But that's how this is done

    I think DJ routines and DJs in general are becoming more important than ever. Nowadays everyone has access to all the music they want so it's more important to find a DJ who can show them new "content" in the form of an entirely new piece of music, created from what was already there.
    Even the simple fact that radio is becoming less popular also makes internet DJ mixes more important where people can come to hear the latest music which has already been selected by DJs with good taste, instead of searching for hours through endless lists of individual tracks only to find 1 or 2 good ones.

    I used to play like, technical prog metal on guitar live and THIS terrifies me more. Nothing to hide behind. If you fuck it, the build is ruined, the music stops. That plus speed of tune selection and keeping everything flowing…I’d absolutely challenge anyone that says it’s not skilful. My partner started playing out live this year and she’s tried to show me a few bits and pieces but I just can’t get it. I’ll just stick to guitar haha.

You gotta know your stuff and know how to use it give a good DJ set nowadays, I think.

    Carlo I'm a DJ from Iran.. I'm 36.. I started learning music by keyboards when I was 6 and after I bring my keyboard to many family and friends parties and doing something like DJ also with cassette decks at that time then after start DJing when I was 18 with simple softwares from that time.. because there was no any real DJ equipment in my Islamic regime country and these things are forbidden.. there is no club and such a these things.. and even if they find a party they will arrest every one and put in jail..
    so it was so hard for me to follow my dreams with that condition..
    I never could find someone to guid me..
    now I'm in turkey and also here is not good place to be successful for DJing .. and many times I feel its late and feel disappointed and hopeless to my self.. but still going.. because I really love music since that age even I couldn't know how to talk completely..
    I watched some of your videos... you are a hard worker and good heart and really honest person..
    I rarely write comment for anyone because of my depress mood.. but your videos effected on me so much..
    after many years of being many years confusing paying and learn notting at last I learned from someone!
    you are so clearly teaching... and you teaches me a lots of things many years wanted to learn..
    you gave me hope.. and it means a lot for me.. you have some ones heart now..
    thank you from bottom of my heart .. for your good heart and honest behavior...
    I will following you.. and hope maybe one day we can talk or see each other..

    He left a little headroom on the up fader for "losing it", so when he brings it in at the end, it has a bigger drop. Same effect you get when you bring both tracks down in volume during a break down mix, so you can turn up the final transition of the new track, when it drops. Gives it a bigger punch.

    Maybe fitting some music theory in, the "One More Time" "yeah" sample is a "D" and the "Losing it" track is in G minor.
    This interval between the notes gives of the most clear feelings of a "drop" in most music...
    Maybe James planned this too? :P

      developing one. being spontaneous and taking risks. finding out what does work and what doesn't the hard way.
      a routine is a 'routine' because a dj has practiced it a gazillion time to show off and be able to work on autopilot like a failsafe engine because of muscle memory and all that. they look flashy but in the end it's just blowing smoke.
