    Simple answer is: because the person having the party has asked for it, it’ll spice things up a bit, and we are willing and able to do it.

    Just a note on your entry into the Juno Bass Heavyweights competition. Good effort, but I would say that with only a 30 minute maximum, you need to use more than five tracks to show off mixing your abilities. Lots of mixing will help hold the listener’s attention.

    Think about your phrases and use some cue points to get quick cuts between many tracks with lots of heavy basslines. Forget long, smooth mixes. Don’t fall into the trap of having to use each records’ full breakdown: in a 30 minute mix you need to keep the bass action happening almost constantly.

    I hope this helps, and good luck!

    Cheers,
    Jules

    Great video. They cover plenty of issues that are regularly discussed here and on the blog.

    Tong says something along the lines of “the one thing that hasn’t changed in DJing is the importance of your ability to program a sequence”, or as Phil says, “playing the right record at the right time”.

    It’s also amazing to see Zabiela’s abilities on that gear. He’s a virtuoso, undoubtedly.

    Iceman, even if I didn’t agree with you (and I certainly do), these videos are hilarious! I also love your passion.

    Nice work mate, keep it up!

    I guess it depends on what sort of transitions you’re trying to make. Who are the DJs that inspire you? What sort of transitions, or mixes, do they perform?

    I’m new on this forum, but I can see that most of the DJs here will blend one song into another using beat matching and phrase matching when they mix. That is, they are literally mixing two (or sometimes more) records together, with both songs playing together over a period of time, rather than one simply fading out followed by the next one fading in.

    My name is Julian, but most people call me Jules. When I started out people would ask what my DJ name was and I’d say I didn’t have one, that it was just “Jules”. I gave people that response often enough so that eventually “Just Jules” just seemed to fit.

    Edit: depending on the occasion, I also use “DJ Just Jules”.
