I’m sure this will leave all the other DJs in the room heads spinning around: how did she…? wtf!!?? Looping a 3-beat measure, leaving out the 4, doing a seamless beat-matched transition from 129 to 172…? Bravo!! Magnifique! This is hyper advanced level ingenuity in mixing.
Saying so especially as a beginner DJ but intermediate producer proficient at making varied styles. I know one day I wanna be able to spin pretty much anything with smooth and fun transitions, but the facts is first I gotta be able to even beatmatch basically 😅 Bottom line, I know I'll be using tutorials at all levels. And I know I'm not alone.
A tip here, you can also work on 3/4 echo meaning that the echo will perfectly match the 4/4 of the slower track. This is an amazing trick if you want to avoid the snares arriving a bit "out of the blue" if it's a difficult track to bring. You can use that 3/4 echo to build up a drop on your 170 something bpm track. If you want more tips: just trial and error :) do it again and again and again. Use your hear for these, they will tell you if it's right or wrong, beat matching with a computer or a pioneer won't fully do the trick. Good luck!
@@thesiamface in this video, she uses an Xone 92 which is amazing (my favorite mixer I think) but you don't have any other effects than the great filters. On a Pioneer or via any pc controlled system, you usually have echo effects.
@@ovotal This is becoming philosophical. For me time, tempo and so forth do exist without math. Math is a tool man did invent. Time did exist before and will for eternity.
another cool thing that makes these 2 songs work is that the house track already has 3:4 syncopation (gtr chords), and the DnB track features triplets over 4/4 - so the 3 of the house track, and the 1/8th note of the DnB track sync up over quarter notes - in a sense keeping the 3 to 4 feel even though everything always feels like 2 bars of 4
A head a sweetheart and a genius!! Cecis dedication to the craft and their love for music oozes with evrything they do. My favorite dj and a huge inspiration to all us musick weirdossss
in awe at the mix, I've tried similar things but this is someone with actual talent :) also note the A&H Xone92 + Boss DD200 - very similar to my own setup. Lovely!
It's important that the track you're mixing into has a prominent rhythm that matches well with your outgoing track. Most DnB won't blend this easily with a house or techno track, this one works because it's more of a 6/8 feel than most tracks in the genre (being 4/4). I enjoy blending odd times as a DJ, i think that's due to my musical upbringing as a prog rock/fusion drummer. Machinedrum uses a lot of odd meter in his tracks, I did a live blend one time out of some jungle into his tune 'Only One' in 5/4 that worked really nicely.
clever. Would love to hear it executed on a club system. Well explained too. Refreshing to see something educational and unique and not some idiot throwing a fit on stage to a pre recorded set with phones and ice cannons galore
This is a cool trick. especially with techno. You can add various effects on top of that 3/4 loop making it sound as if it was prod. The incomming 4/4 always grabs attention.
ok, it is actually also important that the higher bpm (drum and bass) track has bass playing in triplets, so that they match the 1/16ths of the looped house track. btw, you can play this game backwards, go from say 159bpm (slowed down dnb) track to 106bpm track with triplet rhythm. Not many tracks like these but they exist. Then you can mix out of the triplet track to something with sparse beats, or the triplets clash. And theb you are in the near-100bpm dancehall territory
watched it, didn't understood shit cause I'm dumb, as soon as she launched the DnB track the whole monthy python irrupted in my brain screaming "A WITCH, A WITCH". Now I'm gonna rewatch untill i get it (probably a few 100 more times)
Great stuff and kudos for this! For people hungry for more stuff like this I recommend the music of Nicolas Bougaïeff who focuses on exploring these tempo changes through music production.
These CCL videos have been such a great series! One thing that stood out to me though; how does the deck on the left auto-loop at the 3:24 mark? Is that a CDJ feature I’m not aware of?!
for exactly. this kind of creative and complex transitions I believe technology and sync gotta be used, I know I will make a lot of new friends with such a comment. lol. I play with 2 turntables and a Cdj, and add a sampler in order to record an 8/16/32 ( depending on the mix is going on ) bars loop of the ongoing mix. so I then remove one of the records,set a new one, after so I will remove the bass of the recorded loop and set an unsynced delay wich I will adjust so as to get off beat very smoothly and in a long time and beatmacth the new record to the tempo of the delay of the sample as I will make more present than to the soundd of the loop, and as the deal is not adjusted to a perpetual tempo, since its not in sync , I will need to keep adjusting the new track''''s pitch, whereas with the other hand I make the transitions of eq for the new track, and bring it smoothly in
Great DJing and love the different rhythms coming together. Some DJs are able to do this on the fly because they are feeling it from within. This type of rhythm resonates with black people well. Look at how African drumming can encompass polyrhythmic beats so This type of DJing is felt deep and much loved by black people or people in general with a sense of deep rhythm feeling from within.
I’m sure this will leave all the other DJs in the room heads spinning around: how did she…? wtf!!??

This is actually the DJ tutorials people need
The basic stuff out here is vital for beginners. This stuff is great for more advanced DJs.

not a new technique really bunch of videos came out about this last year.. whats new is calling it polyrhythmic tempo transition 😂

Yeah but that mixer don’t have echo fx
what you meant with a pc or a Pioneer ? :)

@@yung_aus She's got a delay pedal
Just realized there’s a new triplet effect on the A9… I assume you could use that?
33 years of djing and you’ve just blown my mind! Thank you 🎉
When maths and music go hand in hand, the result is obviously incredible ! Thank for the tips
music is maths
Well math won't help when you're beat matching without BPM meters. But you can certainly get a feel for things like this.
@@johanneschristopherstahle3395it will, tempo and compasses are math
@@ovotal This is becoming philosophical. For me time, tempo and so forth do exist without math. Math is a tool man did invent. Time did exist before and will for eternity.
@@VladTheSour Well, since we already know the answer (42), we know have to find the question. Could be hard to do this with maths.
I've never seen such a perfect and straightforward DJ tutorial
i love the way the transition creates a new song, completely unique vibe, i'm so into this
another cool thing that makes these 2 songs work is that the house track already has 3:4 syncopation (gtr chords), and the DnB track features triplets over 4/4 - so the 3 of the house track, and the 1/8th note of the DnB track sync up over quarter notes - in a sense keeping the 3 to 4 feel even though everything always feels like 2 bars of 4
Cheeky cheeky! Love it when math/music theory comes into play to make some wild transitions
Neat. Not gunna lie, I was that gif of the lady with the math symbols flying over her head for a sec but it was great to see in action.
😂
Legit one of the best transitions I've seen and heard.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is sooo excellent. Thank you! Very well explained. Very cool transition

Absolutely loved the tutorial. I'm extremely grateful for the clear communication from an expert. Much love ❤
Love to see Barker getting plays he's seriously underrated
One of my favourite artists:)

Love this. Using math in my sets years ago def took them to the next level.
I love bass music so much and I wish some of my favorite DJs cared jusssssst slightly more about DJing itself lol. This was great.
Never thought skeptical and house would fit!

Love Only One! Thats a super off kilter 5/4 with how much percussions in there, mustve been a satisfying blend
Yeah 100% first thing I did after watching this video was load up a random 129 and a random 172. Can confirm it sounded like ass.
Damn I’ve always tried doing that but I never made a 3/4 loop. I just lazily layered them and came in at the 1. Never thought of this. So dope.
clever. Would love to hear it executed on a club system. Well explained too. Refreshing to see something educational and unique and not some idiot throwing a fit on stage to a pre recorded set with phones and ice cannons galore
having that cheeky vocal hint on top of the maths❤❤❤
Take the bpm you want to match and divide it by 0.75 and you will get the matching bpm number..
im in absolute awe with this
Room temp IQ moment
when you're talking about polyrhythms and Barker comes on. this is a soul after my own heart
brilliant methods CCL
CCL a master
Great I do it sometimes using delay FX 3/4
This is what me and Sam KDC did with Grey Area back in 2014. We used it as a way to bridge between techno and 170.
Big up.
Yo yes, sam kdc perfect for this kinda thing
@ASC Big up!
You, Sam and Lemna are the only people in the world who used to do this before this year; Thanks for the enlightenment guys
yea isnt that wild@@linnaleight2476
Very cool and clever
Amazing mix, thanks!!
Smooth af!!!
Classy, love it ❤
This is a cool trick. especially with techno. You can add various effects on top of that 3/4 loop making it sound as if it was prod. The incomming 4/4 always grabs attention.
Heard about it, never seen it. Sick trick!
House & D&B
so smart and helpful! thank you for this 🎉
This blew my mind
This is dope 🔥
Love this series! Thanks!
Sick af!!!!!! That kind of tutorial please 🙏
This is so sick
good video
Clever stuff.
brilliant shit. It actually took me some time to understand.
ok, it is actually also important that the higher bpm (drum and bass) track has bass playing in triplets, so that they match the 1/16ths of the looped house track.

Shiiiiiit. This is brilliant 👌
Masterclass
amazing
This is very clever
so sick, really helpful and fun video to watch!!!!
this is real djing!
nice and smooth
This is so helpful!
wow!
clever trick. opens up some creative thoughts. loop a quarter bar during the transition perhaps?
Just tried it out, really cool! It helps if the 3/4 129BPM loop contains no percussion.
🎯 the example she used actually didn’t sound great to my ear but using a vocal only house loop is great…
@@kevdog5043the example they used
awesome!
amazing, thank you!
crazy !!
this is wild
Nice🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
That was sick
Very smooth. Nicely done
This is ace!!

God damn that was cool.
Absolutely killer
The concept is very interesting. Although I'm personally not super convinced when hearing the transition
It's not a great example! I've heard it done very well though. It's technically possible, not sure why they chose these tracks for this tutorial.
I agree.
yeah... it's not particularly exciting once you hear it. Maybe with a different song combo
Yeah it didn’t really work in actuality here.
its garbage,.
Brilliant!
These CCL videos have been such a great series!
One thing that stood out to me though; how does the deck on the left auto-loop at the 3:24 mark?
Is that a CDJ feature I’m not aware of?!
You can set up auto-loops in rekordbox, it's pretty easy, give it a Google
Yep, you can set it up in recordbox!
genius

Nice trick
This, kids, is why Maths is important.
Neat neat
The whole club used to rush it tits off to the H2O track!
Fuck haha, it's all mathematics in the end
effin sick
ffffuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkk that's brilliant and masterfully executed!!!!
Literally next level
Totally amazeballs.
This shit totally slaps.
