How to DJ - Ep. 2 (2/9) - Phil K - The Next Level

Episode 2 in the How to DJ series continues with Phil K. This time Phil looks at creating music loops showing us exactly how to do it and explaining why it can be an important skill to add to your DJ set.

From the reasons why DJs loop tracks during a set and how to complete a loop using features on the CDJ, to rocking out a tight four-beat loop using the roll effect on the DJM-700 as a sampler.

The man behind such high-impact mixes as Balance 004, Y4k, and The Therapy Sessions, and such production wonders as Burma and Because We Can (with Luke Chable as Lostep) shows exactly how to fix it in the mix.

Also coming soon to DJsounds, James Zabiela presents his secret weapons in Episode 3.

How to DJ is produced by DJdownload.com and Ministry of Sound TV and features Sarah Main (Episode 1), Phil K (Episode 2) and James Zabiela (Episode 3).

deleting comments aint gonna change the fact this guy sucks

[djdownloadTV]

i was trying to reply to you buy accidentally pressed delete message.

anyway that's okay if you think he sucks.

but we think if he was good enough to teach james zabiela he's good enough to teach most people.

[RobyPer]

why is it always the amateurs trying to leave comments.... haha....

[martinotegui]

i dont speak english wey well but ... in the picture when appeare the hand the mixer is grey .. in the other is black :/

[acadm]

if you are a fan of music, you owe it to yourself to track down phil's balance 004 compilation; outstanding breaks and house discs; also listen to his future breaks set from samurai.fm

[kamin8807]

this song is growing on me

[Maxunikt]

All the people say he sucks... I think he's great!

[DJGPR2]

1) pioneer got seamless looping on decks.

2)the channel 1 & 2 gain is too high.

Nice Vid

[DJRezume]

@bartiiiooo y not download virtual dj or djay for mac? they are both free, you dont need any equipment and looping is inbuilt :D

[TheDomino83]

great video man

[necnenecne]

good spearker. good equiptment. good filming.

but you cant beatmatch for shit. thats embarassing

[bartiiiooo]

It's a pretty good tutorial but not everyone has got a pioneer cdj1000 or that expensive stuff. example: with the loops you can shift them but with lets say with a numark ndx400 you cant which is a very cheap cd player. I think the people who watch those people aren't professional dj's so most of the people has got cheaper equipment so I think the tutorials have to be with cheaper equipment. thumbs up if you agreee.

[abdulmosin777]
