Phil K returns with some more tips on How to DJ. In this clip Phil shows how to create a breakdown loop and apply spin-backs in a mix. Learning how to mix out of a track early during its breakdown by using a loop can be a really useful way to lift the energy of the room and change the direction of your set. You can even add in extra digital effects or adjust EQ while making the transitions, as Phil does here on the DJM-700. Mr K also looks at how to use spin-backs sparingly/effectively when mixing between two tracks. From dealing with nerves before your set and preparing mentally and physically for what tracks you will play out on the night, to making a good impression on the crowd and promoters. The man behind such acclaimed mixes as Balance 004, Y4k, and The Therapy Sessions, and such production wonders as ‘Burma’ and Because We Can (with Luke Chable as Lostep) shares his DJ tips from the top. Also look out for Episode 3 in the How to DJ series, which will star James Zabiela, coming soon... Subscribe with iTunes RSS Feed
