It's so important to cue the next tune just right so you don't lose the crowd.

  • awsome video.. some people try to hard to blend the mixes and make them clean and its a good thing but sometimes a bad song needs to be change even if it has to just be thrown in. good video for a lot of dj's!

  • @spinmoney101 Thanks for the ups man! Apreciate the feedback.

  • I'm in agreement with the overall tip. However, this of course would not work for say, a black or latino teen party. There are songs known as AV8's or Booty Shaking songs, where the likes of Fatman Scoop, or DJ Kool are on it, hyping up the crowd. "Doo-Doo Brown", Rob Base "It Takes Two", Chubb Rock's "Treat Me Right", Soho's "Hot Music" Cheryl Lynn's "Encore" etc are back-to-back joints one could play without ever worrying about a black or latino crowd sitting down on ya'.

  • @SKILLMIX It's all about knowing your crowd. With a hip crowd you can play alot of intros no doubt! Now an intro like It Takes Two > it's a little over drawn you know ("right about now..your about to be posessed..by the sounds of etc.") now you can overlay that intro on top of a beat already playing and cut at "hit it!" BTW love all the Fatman and Kool stuff!!!

  • queen dont stop me you can play from the beginning i think that is the only intro that works

  • @AndyTUK84 There are many good intros you can play, I'm just pointing out to cut the ones that are unessasary. It's your crowd, your judgment. Thanks, 3 years ago wow!!

  • OR people could learn how to mix...

  • partyspecialists - who the hell said I can't think of any new songs to get them up? Use your dj brain and understand that the main point of the vid is to help keep people dancing to old or new songs. It is even more important to cue the newer ones. Do you need more clarifying? Let me know.

  • if you need to use shout or i will survive, or the electric boogie and you can't think of any other songs to get people up and dancing than your not a professional DJ. why does every DJ or most of them need to play the same fucking songs every weekend? there are so many other song to get people up to dance if you need to play the same tunes all the time than you are not using your brain as a DJ. and why do you have to Que any of these songs up to any point of the tune if people know these songs

  • @ratatat You are very welcome I'm glad it helped.

  • Loved the examples! Thanks a lot for the video. :)
