    Hi – from memory it’s a mashup of the XX and Deadmau5. And no I wasn’t sauced! I was, however, probably very tired (we had a 3-month old baby when I made those videos) 🙂

    Phil, i used your How to Digital DJ Fast and it helped me so much!!! Thank you!! My question is when do you feel is the best time to bring in a new tune? I don’t want to lose any energy I have built up. I have not played out yet.(only been Djing 3 months) but I want to have a good sense of what I am doing before I do.

    Thanks for answering Phil! @Ant: I’ve heard a track should never play longer than 4:30. If I’m nearing a breakdown at that point, I’ll just slam in the breakdown of the next track and continue on you can do the sam at the end of a breakdown and slam in the drop of another song. If theres a smooth outro and you’ve got a nice intro on the next, you know what to do. As a dancer, I like to be surprised on the dancefloor so my mixing style usually doesn’t involve long smooth transitions. Still, I feel you gotta do things differently. You cant be boring. I loved the course too. I’m a basement DJ for now but feel like I could play out in front of a stadium if I had to. Time will tell.

    I am still working out various mixing styles. I love to mix in key and I am now using my EQ’s. I use my volume fader’s instead of my crossfader. I’m just trying to develop my style and get comfortable with it before heading out. Thanks for the advice.

    Me too. Another one I’m practicing is mixing in with the filter. Breakdown hits, hit play with the hi-pass filter up, slowly introducing the beat and bass-line……love it!

    Haven’t really used my filters much. I like the way the EQ’s sound more.
