For anyone else who is viewing this and attempting to execute it in a similar fashion and is having trouble you may try this route. 1) Adjust the slower song to the same exact BPM as the song currently playing and create a 4 bar loop. 2) Decide which part or BAR of the track currently playing you will be bringing in the "Slower" song. 3) Once you've decided a mix point bring in the second track and after every 2 or four bars begin to lower the loop rate by 1/2. until you've reached 1/2 4) Fade out the track originally playing via the fader or High/Low Pass filter 5) Once only the loop from the slower song is playing which should be for a few seconds simultaneously stop the loop process and bring the BPM to its original state. Hope this works out for you the way it did for me. Thank you fosta11 for this tutorial. It has helped me out tremendously.
+Jtapia031 Just bought the ddj sb2 and I have actually done this a lot of times when i have been mixing. It is really a great way to get in the new track :)
You are helping people and that's worth my time. Fuck the haters,they don't have interest in using their time to help. They just sit back and hate. Keep helping.
that was really cool way to chane from such different bpm's! It is a very drastic change for the crowd to "handle", but i can not think of a better way myself :) you are skilled!
So trippy... I listened to Let Me Blow Your Mind today for the first time in ages. I do this quite often, and sometimes if I don't want the loop i just manually hit and hold the cue button to the bpm of the track. Great stuff.
OMG THIS IS AMAZING! I'm picking up my first set of decks* (fast and loose use of the term) tonight. Numark Pro 3s and this is first thing I'm going to learn! Thanks so much
nice! I would of never thought of tightening up a short loop like that, you didn't nail it perfectly but who cares, like you said we get the idea and that is a great tip. Thank you sir!
That was perfect man !!!! But since you have good accessories , so it's easy for you to remix these kind of remixes. I got NS6 but , this one is really advanced and I love it :) Good luck ;)
The song stays the same bpm but he is chaning the bpm by the loop. The loop effectivly doubles the bpm of that song ( notice the slow song had almost half the bpm as the fast one). You can see this effect on any djing device with looping abilities. Just slowly half that loop and you will see that one sound gets played faster and faster as you half the loop.
lot of people hating on this video.. Clearly they have no idea how hard it would be to even mix two tracks together with just even a tempo difference of 10! Good video. Been dj'ing for 4 years now and i've never used the methods you just showed. Never have had to try mix such a massive bpm difference!
If I took a drink every time you said "um", I'd be dead;) Thanks for posting this technique! You helped me with some ideas I've been working on. Much appreciated:)
@Strowlight that's the whole point of the vid. To show that you that you can match a BPM bYycutting down a segment of another tune that has a different BPM.
If you're coming back into DJing and you don't have equipment right now, I'd suggest taking a look at all of your options. By that I mean that computers and controllers have taken huge strides in the last few years and have superseded the capabilities of CDJs. The upside is that you can use all your old DJ techniques with new music and your complete kit typically takes up a lot less space while every song you have is instantly accessible.
Dope shit man. That echo did it iw as trying to play in in my head but when you said echo it started to come through. But what you pulled out was amazing.
i'm not even a dj, i'm a producer. Although this transition was fine, I think it could be better if you just wait until a riser comes up on the fast song and just before the drop comes, just add a lot of reverb and stop the track. The fast song will slowly diffuse because of the reverb, and that will create the perfect atmosphere to hit play on the other deck and put whatever slow song you want. I didn't even tested this technique myself, as I said before, I'm not a dj. So probably I'm really wrong!
+Jonathan Wolf that and its a completely dif type of transition. you need to master multiple ways that way your not always doing the same and or stuck using wrong type on wrong song combo
I thoroughly enjoyed that video as I am djing for the first time for a couple hundred people in a shitty club but yeah it's nice to get some last minute extra transition tips in, cheers mate
That was pretty awesome mate, I doubt a crowd would of spotted the mishap at the end anyway. Would say quite a lot of practice goes into routines like that when playing out :-). Nice work, keep the flavour going.
love the technique, just not sure I can pull it off- seems somewhat limited by equipment. I'm currently using the numark mixtrack w/ virtual dj, so I have some effects, but not a huge selection.
Fosta, super creative and slick. It would be easy enough to redo the transition and record over so it was perfect, but showing your mistake (hitting wrong button) at the end and how you managed to still pull it off, made your video that much more human. Much appreciated, and seriously admire your skills. (I'm lower on the learning curve, but can easily see real talent :) )
the fuck up sounded lovely. came back to this vid after a year just to refresh on the technique, doing another halloween gig and i plan on dropping this and BLOWING PEOPLES MIND. ace work m8, cheers from cross the pond
awesome Video Sir! Sir Actually I Have A Problem I.e I Am Used To CDJ 900NXS, But I Work in A Club Where There is CDJ 900!. So still i Didnt Get that On What To Set Tempo Range. Because It Shows Way Different Then The 900 NXS. So Plz Can U Make A Video on What Shud we Keep The Tempo Range And How To Mix Two songs On CDJ900! Plz Help Me Out Plz!!
for all you people saying sync it, because you sync a song into another so they match dont mean your a dj. Think of it that way, what if you have to go to a club or a venue where you have to use their equipment and you get a request to mix a slower tune in and then you realise the sync button is not there?? What you guoing to do then?? And great job mate really liked the way you have done it :)
I want to layer drum or kick of around 120’s bpm in to a track of around 90bpm at the same time .. how do I do it ..maybe stupid question , but please teach me. Thank you all
i am sorry, i don't even dj or beatmatch but i think this didnt sound right. isn't it a better idea with such huge bpm differences to have kind of a transient middle part in between?
It was a good attempt mate...nice to see something different than just stopping one with a fade effect and starting the slower one...but if I heard this transition during an actual set online, I would X out the window =\
Very innovative. Should work easy with hiphop, rock and pop. I think this technique goes beyond the challenge of BPM transitioning. If perfected, one can mix songs with fairly different BPM's too. Worth taking up the challenge. Thanks again.
Should've moved the first track to 140 and the second one to 70. Small enough differences so that they don't change too much plus one is half of the other so they would mix fine even though phrasing would've been off
Awesome technique and smooth transition. It's a shame that such a sick transition would be used rarely, I mean going into such a slow slow song would really kill the energy of the audience
not quite. Yes I beat match the intro but not in the traditional way. I am cutting down a slower pitch loop (by shortning the out point) which in essence speeds up the BPM. untill it mtaches the track already playing. Hope this makes sense.
buddy you use the play button only for starting songs or searching for cue point if your not a friend of the vinyl mode ... but it's a nice tutorial, great idea's ... keep it up
thank u!!!i get the idea... now im gonna go find a echo vst for my virtual dj and check it out!!!have you posted this up but in a successful run??id like to hear it out!!
that was awesome. in all my time that never occured to me. what if you used the wide band/mp3 feature to match tempo or would the pitch be wrong? Cheers
@fosta11 thanks alot for replying bro ill defo look into those i was just wondering, ive never had a go on the pinoeer 1000's or any pioneers for that matter but in your opinion can they justify having such a hefty price tag?i meam what makes them better than other cdj's i mean i beat match so all the bell and whistle i dont think ill really use that much tbh
This is defo something i was thinking of but could never think of a way to make it smooth, nice video man, thanks.
For anyone else who is viewing this and attempting to execute it in a similar fashion and is having trouble you may try this route.
1) Adjust the slower song to the same exact BPM as the song currently playing and create a 4 bar loop.
2) Decide which part or BAR of the track currently playing you will be bringing in the "Slower" song.
3) Once you've decided a mix point bring in the second track and after every 2 or four bars begin to lower the loop rate by 1/2. until you've reached 1/2
4) Fade out the track originally playing via the fader or High/Low Pass filter
5) Once only the loop from the slower song is playing which should be for a few seconds simultaneously stop the loop process and bring the BPM to its original state.
Hope this works out for you the way it did for me. Thank you fosta11 for this tutorial. It has helped me out tremendously.
+Jtapia031 Just bought the ddj sb2 and I have actually done this a lot of times when i have been mixing. It is really a great way to get in the new track :)
Glad to hear this method has helped!
Nice. Just started messin around with the 800 and effects but that lil trick never crossed my mind. Cheers for sharing that with everyone!
I wish more djs in "commercial" bars/clubs were as creative as this...
This is actually a brilliant way to transition to a slower song without having to have a "transition song. This is great! Thanks for the idea.
You are helping people and that's worth my time. Fuck the haters,they don't have interest in using their time to help. They just sit back and hate. Keep helping.
This is still the best transition video I've seen to date. Good work man
That ping-pong effect is CANDY to my ears, man.
The most creative transition that I even seen,it did inspired me
What a smooth mixing, mate. Cheers!
that was really cool way to chane from such different bpm's! It is a very drastic change for the crowd to "handle", but i can not think of a better way myself :) you are skilled!

Thanks so much for sharing this technique - I'm just learning so your generosity is much appreciated!
OMG THIS IS AMAZING! I'm picking up my first set of decks* (fast and loose use of the term) tonight. Numark Pro 3s and this is first thing I'm going to learn! Thanks so much
Real imaginative! Gave me some ideas, thanks man. Oh and nice setup!
Pretty sick mix man. I am new to this and trying to expand my knowledge! Thanks for the video!
nice! I would of never thought of tightening up a short loop like that, you didn't nail it perfectly but who cares, like you said we get the idea and that is a great tip. Thank you sir!
love the "haha caught you" don't know if it works in front of a crowd but still thanks for the effects and loops ideas
That was perfect man !!!!
But since you have good accessories , so it's easy for you to remix these kind of remixes.
I got NS6 but , this one is really advanced and I love it :)
Good luck ;)
That a smooth transition, respect!
Awesome idea mate. I usually just use the roll on the cdj 400's and echo effect on the mixer but this is more of a creative way.
The song stays the same bpm but he is chaning the bpm by the loop. The loop effectivly doubles the bpm of that song ( notice the slow song had almost half the bpm as the fast one). You can see this effect on any djing device with looping abilities. Just slowly half that loop and you will see that one sound gets played faster and faster as you half the loop.
thats the most creative thing i have ever seen a dj do :)
well the point here is to fade in and out when u want to mix a slow tune with fast tune , thanks really helped
Great great video man, Sweet pairof 900s, sweet video, awesome control and use of effects. Congrats :)
Great video... Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us... awesome tip...!!!
lot of people hating on this video.. Clearly they have no idea how hard it would be to even mix two tracks together with just even a tempo difference of 10! Good video. Been dj'ing for 4 years now and i've never used the methods you just showed. Never have had to try mix such a massive bpm difference!
that was a really class way of mixing House into slowjamz RNB! impressed!
@DJCachazo1 the 2000 is the one on the left hand side with the white lights o nthe jog, the 900 is on the right
If I took a drink every time you said "um", I'd be dead;) Thanks for posting this technique! You helped me with some ideas I've been working on. Much appreciated:)
you actually made it very nice, congratelations

it's hit or miss. depends on the track you're dropping into. you can get away with that once maybe twice during a night.
+Jonathan Wolf that and its a completely dif type of transition. you need to master multiple ways that way your not always doing the same and or stuck using wrong type on wrong song combo
that's actually quite clever, never thought of that but as soon as i herd the loop i knew, nice.
nice to see a video of this done i do this allot going back and fourth between hip hop and electro. =) very simple but effective trick
I thoroughly enjoyed that video as I am djing for the first time for a couple hundred people in a shitty club but yeah it's nice to get some last minute extra transition tips in, cheers mate
That was pretty awesome mate, I doubt a crowd would of spotted the mishap at the end anyway. Would say quite a lot of practice goes into routines like that when playing out :-).
Nice work, keep the flavour going.
Sweet video man. . took on board your methods to add to my arsenal! :) top stuff
love the technique, just not sure I can pull it off- seems somewhat limited by equipment. I'm currently using the numark mixtrack w/ virtual dj, so I have some effects, but not a huge selection.

If a tune is 140 just mix it with a 70 tune thats how you do it...but good shit..nice
nice work man I didn't even notice the muck up. Sounded great... :)
the fuck up sounded lovely. came back to this vid after a year just to refresh on the technique, doing another halloween gig and i plan on dropping this and BLOWING PEOPLES MIND. ace work m8, cheers from cross the pond
Love the style man! Sounds wicked!
you hit the wrong button? that shit was dope!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for the inspiration!
I think... that was great creativity.... good work....
Very helpful vid. Thanks for taking the time to make this
big love to all the haters.mmmwwaaahh
Hello Mr. DJ.. ✌️ .. How about mixing 80s songs like songs from The Smiths by 115 bpm to 119 bpm? How can I mix it? Thanks Mr. DJ.. Peace! ✌️
+Narg Nargi Just touch the pitch slider a little on both decks haha! +2BPM on the 115BPM and -2BPM on the other :)
what a stupid question is that?
awesome Video Sir! Sir Actually I Have A Problem I.e I Am Used To CDJ 900NXS, But I Work in A Club Where There is CDJ 900!. So still i Didnt Get that On What To Set Tempo Range. Because It Shows Way Different Then The 900 NXS. So Plz Can U Make A Video on What Shud we Keep The Tempo Range And How To Mix Two songs On CDJ900! Plz Help Me Out Plz!!
Fosta11 - very clever and well done 👍🤙
Don't worry about the haters, its called jealousy 😉😆🤣
That was beautiful...

Tooo smooth!, very nice work
Awesome job dude Ive struggled with that myself good save.
I think he's a genius, I got the idea of what he trying to do and I going to try right now
Nice1 Bro - Never thought to do that with the echo. Please share any more tips you may have. Big Up!!
I want to layer drum or kick of around 120’s bpm in to a track of around 90bpm at the same time .. how do I do it ..maybe stupid question , but please teach me. Thank you all
as you were running up all the effects which were cool fade off and just up the the bpm on second track job done good effort mate .
MAN U KILLED IT , TEACH ME HOW TO MIX HIP HOP WHILE PLAYING HOUSE MUSIC
i am sorry, i don't even dj or beatmatch but i think this didnt sound right. isn't it a better idea with such huge bpm differences to have kind of a transient middle part in between?
It was a good attempt mate...nice to see something different than just stopping one with a fade effect and starting the slower one...but if I heard this transition during an actual set online, I would X out the window =\
Tricky but good mate...it made sense tbh!
dude that was fucking sick. ive literally been looking for tutorials on how to mix songs towards the end and this is perrrrfect thank you!
Definitely see where you were going with it mate, bit of tweaking and it will be bang on.
Sounds nice, i will need to try something like this. Now, let's go find some songs!
Very innovative. Should work easy with hiphop, rock and pop. I think this technique goes beyond the challenge of BPM transitioning. If perfected, one can mix songs with fairly different BPM's too. Worth taking up the challenge. Thanks again.
that was crazy cool man
If I ever learn to DJ I'm coming back to this video
Hey Man it is a shame that you pushed the wrong button but I did get and hear where you were going with it. Thanks for posting it up. #startingoutdj.
Should've moved the first track to 140 and the second one to 70. Small enough differences so that they don't change too much plus one is half of the other so they would mix fine even though phrasing would've been off
I don't know what you did wrong cause my jaw dropped at that transition
very nice, i like it.... keep posting like this video
@kade290488 wrong, its the djm 800 u can see that if u click pause at 0:32
Epic catch at the end!
Its all about being creative, well done!
Niiiice
Simple and effective. Thanks for the tip. :)
Awesome technique and smooth transition. It's a shame that such a sick transition would be used rarely, I mean going into such a slow slow song would really kill the energy of the audience
SWEET.. really smooth!.. you sound a lot like ellaskins..
Real nice slick mix mon!
not quite. Yes I beat match the intro but not in the traditional way. I am cutting down a slower pitch loop (by shortning the out point) which in essence speeds up the BPM. untill it mtaches the track already playing.
Hope this makes sense.
great advice!!! thank you!!
3:27 - 3:30 sounded a little weird but hella cool man
buddy you use the play button only for starting songs or searching for cue point if your not a friend of the vinyl mode ... but it's a nice tutorial, great idea's ... keep it up
thank u!!!i get the idea... now im gonna go find a echo vst for my virtual dj and check it out!!!have you posted this up but in a successful run??id like to hear it out!!
Very nice mix!
that was awesome. in all my time that never occured to me. what if you used the wide band/mp3 feature to match tempo or would the pitch be wrong?
Cheers
Lol messed up a little, but definitely good transition, great video!
@lkrux some good point theres bro thank for your feedback take care
I'm practising that!!! Big up mate!
very well done, i love the thought very nice!
Yo that sounded tough great idea. I think something went wrong right at the end though. Oh well i still liked it
Thats a good idea :) Great vid mate :)
Nice i like it good to know new skills etc. Thanks
sick trick, im gonna practice this !
That was honestly awesome.
Very smart transition,don't listen to haters,this is a very good transition :) thanks 4 the tip :D
@fosta11 thanks alot for replying bro ill defo look into those i was just wondering, ive never had a go on the pinoeer 1000's or any pioneers for that matter but in your opinion can they justify having such a hefty price tag?i meam what makes them better than other cdj's i mean i beat match so all the bell and whistle i dont think ill really use that much tbh
that my friend, is what i like to call sexy dj:ing!
That was slick and a good tip.
