  • That is so difficult, not to mention with vinyl. a-trak is real talent

  • pfffffffffffffffffffff

  • wow

  • djing isnt about how well you can beatmatch its how good a show you can provide..

  • its easy with timecode

  • What track is this?

  • @ItalianStallionLouie AA 24/7 by Dance Area

  • @Sterlin 195

    Fuck you.

    

  • This is the quality DMC produces

  • A-Trak is my DJ hero

  • Scratching like that has 'NO PLACE' in house music, trance music, minimal music, techno or any other sub division of these styles of music .... The 4 4 beat structure is what people want to hear and get hypnotised by ... Its just fucking noise !

  • A damn shame that the sound system was having problems :/

  • Quality Skills right there!!

  • I would feel so uncomfortable with my laptop like that

  • Pointless and shit.

  • why does everybody bring up deadmau5? is that the only artist that people know and can refer to?

  • Skrillex is a great DJ but Deadmau5 does suck as a DJ and better producer.

  • bamf

  • If Vinyl ever stops being made, or played ? i'll give up DJ'ing.

  • that shit was dope.

    

  • haha, what a gun! Love to see a bloke trying something like this in a set.

  • Track is Dance Area - AA 24/7

  • A-Trak*

  • not to be a troll but deadmau5 is shite compared to calvin harris or 2 many DJs or even tiga

  • @Sterlin195

    Deadmau5 doesn't even claim to be a DJ, he's obviously a producer, who goes and provides awesome shows which includes very basic "DJing" (rarely touching the jog-wheel, or even bringing CDJ's or vinyl.)

    He mostly uses Ableton software off his laptop and runs a monome as the hardware.

    Now you want to talk about a shit DJ, point your finger at Skrillex (who is part of Mau5trap, kind of ironic.)

    Shit DJ, good producer.

    Fuck that was longer to type than it was to think in my head.

  • @thaatxboss

    eh skrillex kind of disappointed me at edc lv...his mixing was average at best, but his productions made up for it. hope he is better when i see him in august. wish more people would dj like LBL and have more variety in their mixing though so it's not totally predictable.

  • @thaatxboss actually deadmau5 and skrillex do 'live mixing' as do I. haha its true,skrilley is not that good at live mixing..but he still make one good show.

  • @thaatxboss

    I like to use the term entertainer.

  • @thaatxboss haha skrillex is okay look up DotEXE he's 5000000 times better

  • @thaatxboss Ok, Skrillex is NOT a shit DJ, hes just finding a path for himself, not as an artist, but as a live DJ and performer, watch?v=CgFsFNfDNhU <--- Stage presence but hes stays well on topic and gets right back to work when hes finishes playing around.

  • @SerjTankianlol

    yes he is a shit DJ.

  • @nickmcmahan Lol how is he a shit DJ?

  • @SerjTankianlol

    you keep kissing his ass. he's a shit DJ. he's horrible at DJing. he's decent at producing, but horrible at DJing

  • @nickmcmahan The fact that he can smoke, flip his hair, drink, and DJ at the same time, really says something, plus i bet more people have heard of him than this fag.

  • @SerjTankianlol

    a-trak's not the fag here, he's been in the game since 97.

    he can do all of those except DJ. all he does is crossfade some things and headbang on the stage. not much else.

    additionally, the only reason skrillex is so big is because of his part in 'from first to last' and his mainstream dubstep shit.

    get your head straight.

  • @nickmcmahan LOL mainstream dubstep? Dubstep is for people who like good beats w/o the crappy ass producers rappers/pop artists have. And From First to Last WASNT a big fucking A7X style band, he was picked up by Deadmau5 and Mau5trap.

  • @nickmcmahan U guys dont know what u talk about !!! A-Trak is a DMC WOrld Champion, probably one of the best DJs in the world, in any Kind of music! He also was the Kanye west Official Tour Dj. Skrillex is the result of marketing online (Blogs,utube etc...), and skrillex dont play whit vinyl, he dont know what is that !!!

    ANd u cant compare Deadmau with... Daft Punk !:) Theres things that cant be compared !:)

  • @ZXMMX

    yeah, i love a-trak. i was defending him.

  • @thaatxboss

    You claim SKRILLEX is a bad DJ but in what sense? Are you saying he can't mix well in a live show or flat-out doesn't deserve the fame he has up to this date! Either way Deadmau5 "claims he isn't a DJ" and yes this is true but, in that case wouldn't Deadmau5 also be considered a Shit DJ, or is that who you refered to under, "Now you...kind of ironic.) ?"

  • @Horcasitas2139 This was posted about 7 months ago, before Skrillex 'blew up.' Don't get me wrong, he's has amazing live performances, and the level of work he puts into producins his tracks are top notch, but any 'DJ' who watches Skrillex perform on Ableton and Trigger Finger knows his timing/cue/transition/etc. is far off. It's been a couple months since I've posted that comment and yes his 'DJ'ing skills did improve. Also, don't take everything you read on the internet so serious ;)

  • @Horcasitas2139 Also no, I wouldn't consider Deadmau5 to be a shitty DJ at all, have you actually seen him mixing? He's actually pretty damn good lol. :)

  • @thaatxboss

    No totally don't get me wrong I completely understand where you are coming from, I I do tend to agree on certain parts of your argument. The Gap Deadmau5 always leaves me with was fulfilled with Skrillex, that's really the only reason why I took it serious. Thanks for the feedback though.

  • @thaatxboss ...i like skrillex

  • @ProLikeJack I don't

  • @thaatxboss Skrillex just uses a wacktop now as well.

    I think you can find him smashing up a mac on stage like a bell end somewhere on youtube

  • @thaatxboss Amen to that bro.

  • same vinyl song? how he do that?

  • Whats the name of the track ?

  • Comment removed

  • @rebel bass. Seen the mouse live he does play other ppls tunes FACT!! it was the worst dj set I have ever seen !! Full of trance and no bass !!

  • serato

  • Nice to see some Vinyl around all that fancy equipment!

  • @DjNoizZ Yeah man!

  • @DjNoizZ Damn straight! Sure he's running Serato on his macbook, but it's always good to see top deejays ditching the CDJS for a pair of ones and twos! Vinyl isn't QUITE obsolete yet! :D

  • @ElectronicAether I don't think hes actually playing on them though. They are just hocked up with his computer as controllers.

  • @DjNoizZ this is the serato scratch live fancy equipment, which allows you to manipulate mp3's on a laptop, you can set que points, seamless loops etc etc..

    on a serato cd of vinyl is a high tone with a piece of hardware translates so your laptop knows which part of the mp3 it has to play.

    fancy equipment FTW ^^

  • @DjNoizZ timecode vinyl..

  • @DjNoizZ in some regard it is vinyl but that's Serato if I'm not mistaken. That software and hardware is so DJ's who were so used to vinyl can still make the switch to digital Djing with out having to go buy an expensive ass pair of cdj's. so if you were from the 80's DJing with a pair a tech 12's then you could still use them without having to dragaround crates of records that "vinyl record is actually the controller for the whole software, the software reads the timecode to make it feel vinyl.

  • @ResQueDj Look up Atrak 1998 vids hes uses real vinyl at times too. hes using serato because Not every track is made on vinyl anymore.. and it beats carrying a vinyl case. Atrak is an awesome dj

  • @DjNoizZ im not sure if its not just timecode ^^

  • @DjNoizZ Haha that's Serato, pretty fancy in itself, but it doesn't seem to know wether its a vinyl or an MP3 player lol

  • anybody who says it's easy is invited for a game: you come to my house, i have the technics and the song and if you can do it without making it sound crappy you have my big respect. if you f**k it up you have to never ever make a comment on any video related to DJs all life long.

  • @OELEU

    When they are done they can stop by my crib and do the same. Ive been spinning for to long to hear so much bashing lol. When they do indeed stop by and f up. I say we bash them.:-)

  • A-Trak is kinda sexy...

  • damn look at that precision

  • does anyone know the name of the track?

  • @palestinianuprising Aa 24 7 by Dance Area

  • @ferguschrist69 thank you

  • thumbs for canadian DJs!!! A Trak, Deadmau5, MSTRKRFT... beautifull

  • @DJsIm0nOfficial Deadmau5 is not a DJ.. and MSTRKRFT is only half DJ

  • @TheRebelBass What is Deamau5? A fucking flight attendant?

  • @Meechooilka No you idiot. He is a producer. He calls DJ's "fucking cunts with no technical Merritt what-so-ever."

  • @TheRebelBass Oh, that's great. I am both an idiot now and a fucking cunt. Great... He should start calling himself then Producer Deadmau5. So that god forbid anyone gets it wrong like me.

  • @Meechooilka Well he never called himself DJ Deadmau5... DJ's play other peoples music, Deadmau5 does not play other peoples music.

    and I resent what he said about DJ's since I am one, and so is A-trak, and personally I think A-trak has tenfold the skill Deadmau5 does. I like a lot of Deadmau5's music, but hes the fucking cunt.

  • @TheRebelBass I agree. Deadmau5 is one of the douchiest DJs out there. His ego is massive and he is way overrated. The fact that he is trying to make "dubstep" (failstep, in some countries) is a crime to humanity. I liked him back in his Faxing Berlin days, when he was in a basemen - not out making a complete ass out of himself.

  • @gevaWOW hes not a douche, and he is by no way a dj.he is not over rated by any means, he deserves his fame and fortune. and he only has about 3 dubstep songs, and whos cares if they are crap??? all his other songs are just hit after hit after hit. so shut the fuck up!

  • @TheRebelBass . nah, hes just trolling you guys. hes also said he like memes and getting people annoyed. who cares what he says. his new album - or EP - is a killer and has my forever respect.

    but i really wish that he stay around prog house area.............

  • He has awesome skills, too bad it's not my type of electro music.

  • fucking legend :D

  • He did it alright.

  • notice the stickers on the vinyls.

    those help a lot.

    anyone know the track name?

  • @deadrunks AA/247

  • this guy is what I call A REAL DJ :D

  • AAHHH!!! Gotta go change my pants!

  • oldsch00l

  • reminds off Bad Boy Bill back in the days at Mayday!

  • what a F***ing lovely

  • just creamed myself

  • he has a weird style of pulling the tracks back. like most dj's i've seen will spin the record back and stop it after 1.5 or however many rotations, but he kind of claws at them until they're where he wants them. i guess you don't have to look at the record as much and you can use a slipmat that has less slip

  • uhmmm BA! i could try, fail, ruin my gig and stop being a dj? or watch him do it :D

  • Thats sick!

  • Thats amazing

    plus also, not *that* many djs use serato, compared to cdjs

  • its sped up

  • ooh no mate - getting those pullbacks spot on like that and cutting between them and scratching alternately AND making it make sense is really fucking tricky. If you think its easy then you dont understand what he's doing.

  • Yo Fishy, do u know who DJ Woody is? I can tell you know a thing or two about Dj'in, so check him out, I'll post a vid response.. Peace

  • @fishybishbash

    theres a dj trick to it...you put a little sticker on the center edge of the vinyl lined up with the needle (or top or where ever desired) to know where the sample comes in....notice how when the dot sticker lines up with the needle, the sample comes in everytime...its a simple technice but mastering it is tough...props though

  • @fishybishbash i have no idea

  • @fishybishbash he has the stickers to where he wants to spin the record to, but it still is hard. they just help you kno where ur cue point is. verry nice skills tho i must say.
