[domisking]

[eNeRGySers]

It would be awsome to use filter at 7:42. All the way down, and then, slowly back to it's normal. Thanks J for your awsome tutorials

[tonzko520]

Looks like meth made it to the uk cool shit though meth on funk soul brotha

[harryb94]

[daniellekingdjk3]

[DFRDRIFTPIG]

are 350's good enough to use in clubs? i wanna become a DJ and dont know what to buy first

[djteknova]

/watch?v=P2i_7f6czqk

[texlyon]

My advise! Get your own style, don't try to copy. just try out, have fun and mix around:D

[MTBnorfolk]

what are the 350's like please reply someone :)

[Djtwonic]

@MTBnorfolk the 350's are pretty wicked to use man. i got some myself.

[sillyboylights]

Hah i love random mixing ..do it all the time!!! You a Great dj!!

[Gerrieboy11]

and then, you play the second track. And you wait till the end of the second track and then you mix the beginning of the third track in with the second track. *YAWN* howiejjmnfhngg.

In other words, you just do the se. root kfff!

FORGET IT! be random.

[DanYeAMAN]

ah man this video is awsome pease keep on making them.....for ever and ever

[DJGPR2]

this guy here has won the lotto and bought all mixers and players that exist on planet Earth

[cmsstacker123]

they are a lot like burgers.... :p

[freshgino]

This may actually be one of my favourite videos...Love your sense of humor dude!

[austinscorpio23]

I really dig your innovative approach, man. Creativity is the difference between great and average.

[teknastyk]

ur pitch bending technique tells me you've got a loooot of miles behind the decks... How come U do only tutorials for beginners and not playing arround internationally..

...Just a quick tought of mine :)) Many djs out there getting payed a whole lot of money to show basically nothing technical

[BrokN9]

what would you reccon for a starting dj? Equipment-wise.

[emersontastic]

8:28 it looks like ur wife just walked in on you watching porn on ur dj set. but i respect ur videos man

[bullzye01]

you are awesome so true...Be random.... you can mix a trillion differnt ways / tracks / songs.... thanks for ya help love it cheers ... 

[lassdymestndg718]

good advice.

[NothingMuchToIt]

Amazing, simply amazing!

[mixindave1]

why are these videos stil shit quality? its not 2008 you know lol

[NothingMuchToIt]

@mixindave1 Not everyone can afford a Hollywood type HD camera :P

[supermathi]

@mixindave1 do you NEED higher quality? i can see perfectly whats going on.

[Factory051]

great video talking about random mixing, but can I ask what the CD is that's covering the right deck. Image looks like a road sign for crossing the road in France. Sorry this is off topic and completely random in itself.

[DjOrigins]

good stuff man, this video really made me respect you just for giving this advice for everyone who needs it.

[regio81]

thanks to all your videos i have fun and enjoy djing much respect and admiration to you ellaskins from dallas tx

[SoundHead420]

you are epic man... i really wanna mix but i just havent got the money to get equipment. what would you suggest as a pretty good inexpensive setup for a beginner? or even some advise on things i could do to prepare myself before worrying about the gear?

[jigibao]

you are sooo 100% 1980's love it all the way thru.. god bless you ellaskins..

[modernwar2ghostrp]

how do you get song with the same bpm cuz i cnt change mine easily

[DJDarcyTube]

@modernwar2ghostrp you use the pitch changer knob thing till they match up, some new cdjs have bpm counters on them, that makes it easier, but its best to learn with 200s so your ear is tuned lol

[lazzara321]

this reminds me of erol alkan

[himaru21]

You're great man. Always good advice and entertaining to watch. Thanks for sharing. : )

[XtremeSoundsdance]

wow, i would love to be able to do that!. i use producing software on the computer but ive always wanted to have a go at djing, looks fun!. cheers for the awesome vids mate.

[crazynuts519]

your a genius I have learned alot from you I have only been mixing for about 2 weeks but I catch on pretty quick lol its still going to be along road I find its harder to scratch and mix than when I learned how to play the guitar

[Dtctr010]

man i shouldve seen this earlier maybe i couldve gotten a place in the mixvibes contest

[HendersonDJ]

this is really good check out laidback luke for some of this style!

here is one i done, i suppose you could call it random

soundcloud com/shakedown-glasgow/shakedow­n-november-minimix-shakedown

[Cephiroth]

why is your gear so high? are you going to eat it like a sandwich?

[ellaskins]

@Cephiroth lol,,, nomm, nommm!!

[lukecarter45658]

@Cephiroth he's neeling sown i think

to get into the camera shot

[petef15]

@Cephiroth it's a metaphor about 'wanting to be 'up here''

[djscottdog1]

@Cephiroth i think he is neilling

[jon206xsi]

@Cephiroth He's kneeling on the floor... clearly...

[Samsunglee93]

@Cephiroth hes sitting on a chair

[mik3y80]

@Cephiroth hahah man thats fucken funny :P



[Markus3400]

[r1kko]

keep up the good work man!



[calic0chamele0n]

thank you so much for this tutorial! This is what our group does only we run two setups through each other and blend two styles. please let us know what you think! -Calico Chameleon

[joerock00]

hey i kinda just got into Dj stuff... one question from a noob :P y do Djs only cover one ear with their headphones :P

[godjp821]

@joerock00 so they can hear what's coming out of the speakers

[djadsellman]

Great Vid j.

[djdmc2k8]

Great video... Have you got shorter in the past while? Decks seem rather high!

[MischaahcsiM]

i know what u mean..

thank u

that helped me a lot for my next set!

another idea to push the track over^^

cheers

[kirydawg]

thanks for the great advice! Your the best!

[CHeeKaYMuNKaY]

Jonathan, you never fail to be a great tutor and thank you so much!

[831mena]

A man thanks for ur videos dnt stop making them they are very helpful for a young dj like me im just getting started so cn u make a video of all your equipment thanks

[Akillesefourtwenty]

@jackknifecreations, true...quite uh difference. I tried uh real system on Halloween night. Last Halloween. Buddy of mine club gigs in jax. Let me take thuh helm 4 huh bit. But that's thuh thing, I'd like 2 get some worthy starter equipment or basically almost any equipment 2 use. But 4 thuh time being iPhone is my way 2 go. Besides it's good practice. But good point though.

[Storm1ty]

MASH UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

[grizzlee1107]

What a awesome mix.. actually these track sound so brilliant together :)

[Majestix808]

:D This video made me happy. This is sort of how I mix, of course in my own style. but I love mixing and matching songs together. I actually have my first gig tomorrow here in Austin and I'm really looking forward to going out there and playing how I do instead of the cloned. I feel like the bass are my toys and I get to play. I mean these are our expensive toys, right?

[Akillesefourtwenty]

I'm courious if u were still being picked on bout copyrights? I hope not. Keep doin what u do. Screw them! They made there cash when they sold thuh music. I'm learning quite uh bit. I'm using quixpin Dj on iPhone 3G. It's uh basic mixer but mixes good 2 me. Well, gotta practice. All Hail IPhone!!! By thuh way 4 any1 who wants 2 laugh, think bout it, my equipment fits in my pocket and saved hundreds. I can Dj walkin down thuh street. Can u? Mad props Dj ellaskins.

[JacknifeCreations]

@Akillesefourtwenty yes its a great app, but do you think your ready if someone gives you a chance to mess about with a real CDJ / mixer? theres a big difference between software and the real thing.

[spindler1987]

legend!

[Majestix808]

@spindler1987

[Acelera89]

[adangme]

[spacenoise5]

THANKS MAN!

[SirMaximus21]

guys I didn't mean a 1 piece lol I meant something like CD DJ IN A BOX with the numark NDX200.

I know its not the best, but I want something to play around and get used to it. Perhaps if I get better I would upgrade to a system like a pioneer or something :)

[CrtlAltDlt]

Man i love your words of wisdom.

[djmufassa]

does this work for all genres. I have tried mixing it around like crazy playing happy hardcore and find it difficult. Can you please show this as a mess around with hardcore. Thanks.

[DJFuserT]

dude ur getting skinnier with each video...

[knifenewbie456]

i honestly just watch your videos to listen to your mixes... THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!

[ohyaimcoolest]

nice mixing, like the vibe. could you do a mash up video, like one of your personal mixes? that would be really great.

[ohyaimcoolest]

you look good in black :)

[Mkzz619]

2:27 :p

[salvatoredjsaba]

Ciao ellaskins nice consolle ... ! (PIONEER ???

[3dmundo]

gr8 video

[3S0JJD]

Can you make a video about harmonic mixing? What's your take on it.

[TranceEST]

@3S0JJD actually, there are some videos about from J about harmonic mixing with using MixedInKey software. Just search a bit.

[yourthebhoy]

@3S0JJD to help in the mean time, theres a program called mixed in key. it analyses your collection to get all the keys with a chart explaining how to use it..

xone .mixedinkey . com/ (take out spaces)

ellaskins already has a vid i tink on it

[Olgierddd]

@3S0JJD

YEAH!!!!

This is very important issue! How do you care about the harmony? I mean, U choosing particular part of chewns? (this is the easiest one way) without to much harmonic sounds, only drums, or using eq, rotarry/switch kills, or any other ways? JUST MAKE MOVIE ABOUT!!!!

[DKF22]

Man, thanks alot for the randomness advice. Al thought I don't have any decks, just a PC and VDJ, I love watching your vids! by any chance anybody knows if there are any sort of keyboard layouts for VDJ?

[giftedchick1]

@DKF22 u can make your own

[tonyguetterman]

@DKF22 yeah just go into your options thier should be a tab to keyboard shortcuts. theyre preassigned already but you can customize it however you like

-DJSOLACE

[SirMaximus21]

I know what I am getting for christmas... DJ IN A BOX!

[Eriktheguy123]

[detroit110]

very good.

works great.

and your completely right about being yourself.

[notmuch95]

ur fuckn genius/

thx

[allanxpoe83]

i swear i do better when i play randomly than making crates on serato and then playing off the crates

[eppik]

@allanxpoe83 Dude your totally righ, i start playing random tracks and not thinking about when to mix, and I DO AWESOME. Whan I trie to think about it it doesnt sound as smooth

[allanxpoe83]

@eppik i just played randomly for 2 hours straight today and did fine but i did arrange them in a crate today....im gonna see what happens tomorrow lol

[32JSE]

Nice! It's like the vocals go with the songs notes perfectly. Or atleast they go up and down at the same time.

[moasto02]

playing randomly is the best. i tend do do better when i havnt heard the whole tune and even when i dont monitor the tune in cue. its really fun and sometimes its better than thinkin too much about the next tune.

[miketekhno]

You are Amazing you've helped me soo much! :D

[lshasha90]

What a great piece of advice, i totally agree, keep doin what your doin Ellaskins!!

[Fachjargon]

PRACTICE AND ENJOY!! <3 you

[ipfreely23]

[BOBBYBLENDZ]

[iamgreatish]
