Luke, thank you so much. Doing all these videos with your busy schedule and giving us back so much. Can't describe how much I've learned from you. Mad respect!
Yeah! I never voted for the DJ Mag myself but wouldn't it be kick ass if we all vote for Luke? We have 160.000 subscribers over here :-D I know how LL thinks about the DJ Mag and I share his vision...but I don't know...He just deserves the attention and it would be fun to have him rank first. I'm going to vote right now .-)
I was never too fond of you luke, but giving back to the community and showing us dj's eager to learn, while also showing us your more than just a big name, you've gained some mad respect..
Hey Luke, Thank you very much for taking the time to do all of this, is nothing but helpful and inspiring for beginners Dj's like me. grateful to have one of the best Dj's That lives take time out of his busy schedule to teach and motivate the up comings to keep it real. THANK YOU.
I love coming home from a hard week of work to watch your videos Luke! Real inspiration! Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see you at tomorrowland on my 21st Birthday!
Hey, thanks Luke, that was really a great topic to cover as we beginners face these problems very much. I'm glad that we have a super technical and dedicated DJ/Producer like you.
I've learned so much with your tutorials Mr. Luke! Glad you always put out your knowledge to all of us! I also use a lot of ''transition tracks'' in my sets, songs that already change the tempo in the middle, it helps a lot, they're key songs imo! Thanks so much man! Love from Brazil
Love LaidbackLuke. Love how I have been lucky enough to see him mix, live from up front. He knows how to mix the hell out of the tracks, live. Also love how he is willing enough to teach upcoming artists.
YUU MONADI ML Ya you might be right but most of his Tutorials are helpfull! And some ideas for translations are Great. But i defently dont agree With the Key Thing.. he says that Mixed in Key is a must for a DJ! Look at luke, he dont use Mixed in Key at all and his Sets are absolute bangers!
Honestly this video is gold. Straigth to the point, no bs or ad sponsorship. The techniques are well demonstrate without overexplanation. Good job! Im starting to Dj Its been one week now and in 2 weeks I got my first event because my girlfirend sister prom didnt have no budget for a Dj. So I proposed myself to do the job. The fact that you mention to not go to a style to another to fast is a really good tip, I would have made the mistake for sure. My set is gonna be made in consequence. Thank you!
Ive been watching your videos for a long time,'m new to cdc but i learn so much from watching your videos.They are very helpful and informal.Thankyou keep it coming.
I've seen so many videos/read so many forums on this particular subject but this is by far the best and I feel like I am a better DJ just from having watched this I can't wait to go home and practice!
Thank you Luke this is great advice for someone like me who is trying to learn how to dj . I often like to switch from genre to genre and I hear it and it sounds like exactly what you were talking about
I can't even begin to thank you. Your straight forward way of explaining improved my mixing by 1000%. It was so simple but for some reason I guess I didn't understand before. In less than 24 hours after seeing your videos for the first time my skill level reached levels I couldn't hit for years. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge. U da man
Thank you so much Laidback Luck. Always trying to better the experience for those that listen to what I play! Even more important is the advice at the end. You need to have a consistent story to tell, do not keep changing the genre every song. It would be like starting to read a Comic Book, then the next page is a novel, followed by a Newspaper article. Hard to follow and flow! Great job as always sir!
you are my best tutorial by far i just started and had little help from friend(he only used software at home) and you sure can explain and give advice ty very much sir! subscribed
Hey Luke I just wanted to say thank you for all the tutorials and vlogs! I just started in the DJ/producer life and these have been incredibly helpful! Also I'm a big fan of your music and I've seen you live a couple of times around the world! Keep killin it man!
Thank you for validating something I've said back when I only knew how to spin on Traktor before I learned on CDJs. I've always argued that there is nothing wrong with using Sync and in situations like these, like if you want to do multi-genre sets and need to make big BPM jumps, it only makes sense to use Sync unless you're just going to drop the next track on the 1.
HI Luke, thanks a lot for this video, this was real useful, especially since I know I am guilty of switching back and forth between genres probably way too much, thanks again!!
You've made a lot of key points there with sync button. I've always managed to echo out. I've been watching your videos. How do you find time between personal time, family and shows? Not to mention the time to edit videos....you make for us fans. Awesome bro.
Good demonstration of why you should sync. It clearly provided you with the best transition. You'll get some respect for doing things the hard way but the end result is whats important. Let the haters hate.
First time seeing your videos Luke, thank you for making things so clear and easy to follow. I am learning to DJ as a hobby, I love to host and throw parties but want to take the music up a notch and your video's are really helping me.
Great video Luke I used some of your tips in this video to enter the groove cruise contest also used 3 of your tracks from the label OTW thanks for this video
It's so awesome to be able to pick your brain like this! I'm always picking up something from your vids, even if there was something I thought I knew. L's up!
Hi Luke, thanks for this useful vlog! I have a question for you... how do you organize your cue points? I'm pretty interested in what's behind the decision to set hot cues and memory cues in particular spots of a track for a live event like UMF or Tomorrowland. Thanks a lot from an Italian dedicated dad (and family guy too). Ciao!
Great stuff Laidback Luke! I'm not a DJ but I certainly know someone who keeps following your vlogs and who is a such big fan of yours! The kid you mentioned whom you got the idea of L L hand gestures in Casablanca last 2008. @mim0oo 😉🙂 I felt so happy that you made a shoutout to him. You have no idea how much it made him so happy! 😁 Keep it up! You're an inspiration to all DJs and DJ aspirants out there! 👆
Great video. Great tips. I hate it when people say that I haven't played the track they want but the truth is that I didn't want to ruin the flow of the night. Thanks for the videos helps me realize I'm doing the right thing by keeping the flow.
Hey Luke! Thanks for this and everithing. For bedroom djs like me who lives in a country where there are no djing courses thats a major help for self learning. Thanks for sharing your knoweldge. Please keep up!
Hey Luke I was wondering, did you ever own turntables for djing and if so, which ones and do you still have them? Would love to see them in a future video!
I personally use sync quite a lot for transitions where the currently playing track is in a very different tempo than the next track (like you did in the video at 5:25) and I think it makes so much sense for that. Why do you use that so rarely?
I only use sync for bpm transitions. I can loop a beat or 2 from the current song, i will beatmatch the incoming song, set to the current song bpm, once I match them. Then I hit sync just so I can use one tempo fader to bring both songs to the correct bpm of the incoming song. Its a cool trick the audience usually loves to use for adding energy.
great advice Luke! really helped with some transitions I was having problems with and it made it smooth and simple! you need to come back to club Elan Savannah, GA Hope to see you in the near future!
Hey luke, i had this idea that maybe you (and possibly someone from mixmash team) could start doing a demo-listening series? You would put online a submission form and we could send in our tracks´and you select a few for each episode Edit: the form would be for this serie only
thanks dude one question since you talked bout mixing different genres on short period of time well i do mix dubstep and trap both with similar bps i use camelotHarmonicMixing i think thats what is called lol, anyways i dont get that much feed bad lol so is it ok to mix different genres as long as the have some sort of rhythm or flow for saying ?
Hey Luke, it would be really cool if you did a VLOG where you just dropped in to clubs to see other DJs and commented on the atmosphere and vibe of the DJ. Maybe difficult as you will probably be recognised... Disguise ideas anybody?

Luke, thank you so much. Doing all these videos with your busy schedule and giving us back so much. Can't describe how much I've learned from you. Mad respect!
Luke is shit DJ he joke
gareth Evans thx for the tip, Gareth. Looking fwd to your show
Now that we are voting for the DJ Mag, it will be nice that in your next vlog you comment your top 10 producers and top 10 djs, in your opinion. 🙏
+1 would love to listen to a pro opinion because dj mag seems more like a popularity contest than a talent one
Yeah! I never voted for the DJ Mag myself but wouldn't it be kick ass if we all vote for Luke? We have 160.000 subscribers over here :-D I know how LL thinks about the DJ Mag and I share his vision...but I don't know...He just deserves the attention and it would be fun to have him rank first. I'm going to vote right now .-)
He should
Hehehe I just voted! Oh man I hope we can mobilise a lot of the followers to vote. How do we go about this?
love the vlog :) speaks a lot of sense a lot of mainstage "big name DJs" could learn a lot from this video!?!
I was never too fond of you luke, but giving back to the community and showing us dj's eager to learn, while also showing us your more than just a big name, you've gained some mad respect..

I didn't notice that you had Reverb over your voice until the end!!! hella trippy!
Appreciate the advice. Stoked to try out some new transitions!
Thank you so much Laidback Luck. Always trying to better the experience for those that listen to what I play! Even more important is the advice at the end.

Yo, you make the best DJ tutorials period.
Thanks so much for these videos Laidback Luke! I'm only a bedroom DJ but your music definitely inspired me to give it a try!
Thanks Luke! I have been learning very much, I wish I could just hang out with you and watch you DJ every day like a mentor!
Loved this, Luke. Never occurred to me that tempo sync was used in radio mixing. It makes sense now why those transitions are always so smooth.
Thank you for validating something I've said back when I only knew how to spin on Traktor before I learned on CDJs. I've always argued that there is nothing wrong with using Sync and in situations like these, like if you want to do multi-genre sets and need to make big BPM jumps, it only makes sense to use Sync unless you're just going to drop the next track on the 1.
HI Luke, thanks a lot for this video, this was real useful, especially since I know I am guilty of switching back and forth between genres probably way too much, thanks again!!
1. Where did you get the dedicated dad shirt??
2. Can you do a video on landing gigs: who to ask for, what to ask, etc?
great video luke very helpful and love your content thanks a lot can't wait for your return to Denver Colorado
You've made a lot of key points there with sync button. I've always managed to echo out. I've been watching your videos. How do you find time between personal time, family and shows? Not to mention the time to edit videos....you make for us fans. Awesome bro.
Best Dj/ teacher out there in my opinion!
Thanks again for your wise words! I do think you are one of the few who uses sync how it's meant to be used.
Great tutorial! Never thought of changing the pitch that much, but makes a lot more sense now.
For sure going to use these techniques at my party next weekend. Loving the #DedicatedDad too. Thanks for making these videos for all us weekend DJs.
I voted for you to be #1 for DJ Mag because you truly deserve it also thanks for this tutorial
This has helped me so much. Great info on the bpm advice and the style progression in sets. Thanks man!
that last message was the exact question ive been asking myself this past week , thank you luke video quite helpful
Good demonstration of why you should sync. It clearly provided you with the best transition. You'll get some respect for doing things the hard way but the end result is whats important. Let the haters hate.

Great video. Great tips. I hate it when people say that I haven't played the track they want but the truth is that I didn't want to ruin the flow of the night. Thanks for the videos helps me realize I'm doing the right thing by keeping the flow.
Hey Luke! Thanks for this and everithing. For bedroom djs like me who lives in a country where there are no djing courses thats a major help for self learning. Thanks for sharing your knoweldge. Please keep up!
Hey Luke I was wondering, did you ever own turntables for djing and if so, which ones and do you still have them? Would love to see them in a future video!
Wow a dj that knows what hes doing and he is clear i love your channel

niceeeeee, I love the tutorial, i am quiet new to this, and you explained very well and clear, thanks LL
Great vid. Man. I liked it and so you got me as a newbie. Just subscribed 👍👍
Can you do a part 2!? Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills. Your awesome
Thank you for a great video. You mentioned the “key pitch” button. My player doesn’t have one. Is there a way to control that through Serato Pro?
omg! I've been looking for hours to find someone who explains that!
your style and music is something inspire mee ❤
Thank you so much luke for this video. I learned a lot from this video! keep it up!
Cannot wait for the G-Flow vlog!!!!!
exactly what i needed thank you so much Laidback Luke !!!!!
can you switch from dance to dubstep then to electro / bigroom house in a set because they are all sub genres of EDM? that is my question
Luke, this is power! Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for your vídeos, they help a lot to correct some things and improve skills.
Thank you, keep them coming great stuff!
Yo now this totally make sense. Thanks for helping people to improve their skills.
Please keep making more tutorials, I want to be a DJ/producer!
Very cool tips. I like the comment about seeing you with a controller. I hope use some of your tips with my controller.
great video big smiles from South Africa....when do we see you
Transitions explained in best and easy way by the legend himself 😍😎🙌
yes thank you so much this is something I have always wanted to learn!
Hi Luke, since your mentioned it in this tutorial, can you make another about story telling while Dj ing
Hey luke, i had this idea that maybe you (and possibly someone from mixmash team) could start doing a demo-listening series? You would put online a submission form and we could send in our tracks´and you select a few for each episode
Edit: the form would be for this serie only
go to his website and you will find a form. he listens already to many many demos nearly each day :)
Yeah ofcourse there is a demo submission, but this serie would be especially for feedback and subscribers who produces
Triple M pretty sure he already did this? Check out his "Let's sign a track together" video if that's what you meant
Not exactly what I mean but yeah seemed cool! You should take a look at Mr. Belt & Wezol demo rides, looking for a serie with that structure
just wanted to say ive heard your submissions on the spinnin talent pool and i love them. Keep up the amazing work man I love your music seriously
Uouhh !! The first dj I see with the setup of Denon
thank you so much for these! Luke
thanks dude one question since you talked bout mixing different genres on short period of time well i do mix dubstep and trap both with similar bps i use camelotHarmonicMixing i think thats what is called lol,
anyways i dont get that much feed bad lol so is it ok to mix different genres as long as the have some sort of rhythm or flow for saying ?
thanks Luke! Big fan here from Manila!!!!!
Thanks for the cool videos! very helpful!
Love u skill's man!! Hugs from Brazil.
this is so helpful. thanks!
great video! awesome teacher
Hey i am beginner i am practicing daily with my mobile phone in cross dj app i want to move up. what should i will do? please give me suggestions 🙄
Hey Luke, it would be really cool if you did a VLOG where you just dropped in to clubs to see other DJs and commented on the atmosphere and vibe of the DJ. Maybe difficult as you will probably be recognised... Disguise ideas anybody?
Great idea!
Very useful stuff. Love the vlog! very sick!
