    I don’t know if there’s any tutorials out there but its a relatively simple trick that can add great effect to a mix. You just have to get your timing down tight with using your level faders (or alternatively you can also do it with your crossfader). You basically cut the sound completely out and drop it back in on the beat. In that video she initially cuts out 2 beats then brings it back in. Then she was just cutting out out and in between each beat. Try to watch that video when you’re in front of your decks and you will figure it out pretty quickly. Good luck!
    But also remember to work on your basics before getting too carried away with all the tricks.

    This is just basic DJing. Works best with funky stuff, especially if they drop vocal bits in the intros.

    It really comes down to song selection. She’s got two tracks playing at the same time, one is the more basic beat outro, and the other is her new track with the “everything I do” bits. Since both aren’t too melodic or anything, this works. From there you just drop the volume quickly on the vocal track, and then slam up the volume on the points you want dropped in.

    If you’re looking for music like that, check out the deep house and tech house sections on the mp3 stores, and even the “Jackin” section on traxsource.com.
