DJ Skill Sessions #31: “Breakdown, Countdown, Move It!” – Serato & Pioneer DDJ-SB3

Lots of skills for you to identify and try in your own DJ sets, especially if you're a Serato user.

DJ Carlo Atendido shows us a whole host of skills using Serato DJ and the Pioneer DJ DDJ-SB3 in this week’s DJ Skill Sessions mix, many of which are simple to copy and use in your sets.

Look out for how he uses different remixes of the same tune for effect; how he uses the breakdown in one song to smoothly mix into another, switching on the drop; how he uses echo to accentuate the “countdown” acapella; how he beat syncs two tracks that are exactly double/half the tempo of each other, for a quick pitch shift; and how he uses the crossfader to rapidly cut in and out for effect.

We hope you enjoy it – and do let us know your thoughts below!
