DJ Skill Sessions #43: Ride The Tempo Roller Coaster

Get on board the tempo roller coaster: We're going from house to hip-hop to trap and other genres in between.

In this DJ Skill Sessions routine, watch how Joey goes from one genre and tempo to another using “transition tracks”, which are songs that have a tempo change built-in. You can get them at DJ download pools like BPM Supreme and DJ City, and they allow you to make smooth transitions from one style to another even if the tempo change is massive. Check out the routine to get some ideas on how to apply this useful DJ tool in your open format sets.

Watch this on YouTube.
