What is the name of song at 6:31
LML
krishna Gaikwad - Atlas - mark villa
6:31 lmfao did she just get in a accident ?
🤪😂🙈
so funny
hahahaha she was watching luke like WTF this guys is filming me *** hit the car *** WTFFFFFFFF
HAHAHAHAHA man, i just notice this
My friends and I were in the crowd at Marquee NYC (the second show Luke played in this Vlog) and we can confirm that Luke, 100%, successfully spotted the energy! It was our first time seeing you live and we had a great time!
6:32 I absolutely love how she hit the car
Laidback Luke: Fender Bender creator. Hahaha 6:31
So true. I'm 31 and have been listening to you since I was 20. Love the groovy house tracks and throwbacks you play. Can't stand the new edm trap stuff. You're the man Luke!
6:34 this crowd is smashing it
A part 2 sounds absolutely awesome. Good on you for making this video. Crowd reading is a dying art and we should not just accept that as part of "the evolution of the scene".
Still awesome advice 5 years later....as it will always be. Thanks so much!
You should do a vlog on how to organize and manage your music library for djs
just sort it into folders, most convenient is sorting by genre. that way you'll quickly find the tracks you need when you know what genre or mood to play. this is how my genre folder looks:

Infinite Animations Nice folder specifications
yess !
As @brusuro said - "nice folder specifications". Thank you so, so much!!!
gives a good idea how to make a music folder tx 👍
6:32 What the fu*k :D
Hay Luke...i wos wondering how to get songs legally without spending to much money. I mean as a dj i cant buy every thing on itunes. Are there alternatives? And how do you geht your songs in high quality. Bc if u rip them from soundcloud or youtube the quality is not good.
NewEra CREACER XD
LMAO! I saw that too and then in the next sho someone sick cut the driver off haha
Lmao😂😂
Mexican driver are more careless than Indians...
NewEra CREACER song at 00:20
Please do nr 2 of this video! Really liked this one!
Nice to see that people are so into you that they bump into each other in traffic jams! Crowdreading and feeling the energy is vital for a DJ! You explain it in a easy way!
Playing music for the crowd is the most important part. LBL I've seen you multiple times and you have always nailed this. You're so talented, keep doing what you do. Much thanks and praise
you made a good point! you can't keep the energy full throttle the whole set. I've described it for years as, you have to keep it like a roller coaster ride. what fun is a roller coaster that just goes straight up or just stays flat. the fun is in the ups and downs and twists and turns. and you spoke on bringing the energy down, which I too have talked about it as, when you come down it only makes that much more fun to come back up again. roller coaster.
06:32 you saw that right 😂😂
I'm a part of the crowd and i also like lasers, lights, fireworks, confetti, music that makes me dance, music that makes me sleep.
love these old vlogs
I'd love a part 2 to this! A few weeks ago, I was playing a gig, and third of the crowd was loving most of the tracks, but the other two thirds were dying off. Any more advice on reading the crowd and responding is very helpful!
I have a lot of respect for you and your craft. And the fact that you can have your DJ life and be a dedicated Dad is an inspiration. It shows that you can have a family life while in this industry. Love your videos man, keep doing your dream :) Much respect
yes please, a second part would be great! also, something thats always adressed is how to recognize if a crowd does or doesnt like your current music, but if they dont, how can i find something that they enjoy without losing their attention?
"Safe to say" that Laidback Luke is the smartest commercial DJ there is.
Love this video it's exactly what I have been wondering how to do!tips were great and I think you should have a part 2 to this topic. You can even share some events where you successfully read the crowd. I will never forget the time I saw you at create in Hollywood. The dance floor was so packed that these 3 guys were about to get into a big fight I remember you saw that then dropped some cumbias mashup and everyone went crazy! It's like they completely forgot about fighting and started jumping together. Most awesome moment ever!!
Crowd reading has kept me going for two decades now! I love my style but.. I adapt to the crowd because you have to!!!
I love that track "It was me"
Video about Tips & Tricks to beat matching by ear, and not watching the bpms!!!
yeah, thats the thing i most struggle with
to be honest adjust the cue mix to your liking. so you can hear both songs . its really usefull
watching the time-line of the tracks and know which are those tracks u gonna play (future house 126 bpms, trance 134 bpm, hardstyle 150 bpm, for example)
Sobrini check out dj tutor ellaskins channel
giannis krok yeah, but it is hard to say when the bpm is good, while trying to keep them matched
7:41 Nice shirt ! Dope Hat! Cool Gold Lamp
Hey Luke how do you organise all those 3500 Tracks to quickly find what you need during a show (by genre, bpm, release?)
Really good question !
I'd arrange by energy, feeling and key
Pre-made files with what you want to play most or the ones that are most banging, based on where you're playing that night could help you figure out what to make it. So if youre playing for 1 hr and each song is 3.5 to 4 mins and youre mostlikely only going to use 2.5 mins of it youd need about 30 to 40 tracks
Ahah, everybody wnts to know🤷🏻♂️😜😄
The best way to develop reading a crowd skills is to play bar/lounge gigs. The patrons there are almost always composed of a mixed crowd. Also because the venue is so intimate, you can see easily if someone is feeling the song or not.
Safe to say there's still real djs out there. I had work in so many festivals in Latin America and djs coming with "new music" is just native music here
This video is awesome and will definitely help with some future shows, thanks luke
Dude I actually laughed when you guys were driving and that accident legit happened right next to you guys hahaha
Awesome! Can't wait for part II
Luke is one of the realest.
L's up, Rave Safely, and SALUTE.
pls do a video on if you need to know how to play an instrument in order to be a dj or if you need to know the basics about piano?
That car crash at 06:31 lol, good information for DJs.
lol what happened at 6:32 ?
Great VLOG, reinforced what I thought was right about energy. Hate djs that just go all killer, no filler. The crowd energy needs to be controlled, this makes the drops hit harder and highlights the stand out tracks. Also I like to use bootlegs and remixes to keep different areas of the crowd happy.
Obviously to those djs that prerecord their sets then this VLOG will blow your mind!
That's crazy about Brazil... I'd of never of guessed that. Spot on about the UK.
You didn't include your signature "dj and producer, kung-fu athlete and dedicated Dad" intro! Overall, awesome Vlog. Loving all the videos!
Laid... You are the most complete dj. Never change... We love you
I had a blast opening for you in Salt Lake City! Utah loves their bass music and you killed it!
I’ve just started watching your vlogs and am really enjoying them! My favorite part was at the very end when you gave specific examples of what to play for different crowds. Thank you for these!
I DJ different crowds all the time and would LOVE a part 2 to this!
Would love a vlog dedicated to what you mean by "storytelling." I've heard in your previous vlogs you use that term, as well as from other djs, how they try to tell a "story" with their track selections, but I'm not sure what you all mean by that. Maybe an example of what kinds of tracks/how you organize each performance, or an example of a "story" that you made in one of your previous performances would be nice :)
Harmonic mixing would be a great topic!
You went to play at my hometown in Puebla, MX! I wish I knew ahead of time that you were playing at Daydream festival!! Always looking forward to your videos!
Yeah pls do a part 2!!🙏🏻
I love Luke's videos gives good info and great music at the same time
Hey man I was wondering if you could make a vlog explaining how you come up with the song choice for your sets. Is it venue style? Audience that your playing to? How do you decide what you are going to play in a set?
good advice here, never find any difficulty while playing although I imagine I would do if it was outside my home country
This is something that I struggle with sometimes. I’m learning more and more everyday though. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Luke! It helps a lot :)
Another 'In my mind' video would be good, great video Luke😊
Hi Luke,Love watching your VLOG’s giving us so much useful information to improve as DJ’s
Just wanted to say thank you!
Shoutout all the way from South Africa!🇿🇦
i like how you talk about music and your crowd. you really love your hobby-ish job. :) Hope to see you in May at Emporium.
Part 2 needed!!
Congratulations on your success! One can only dream of the life... It watch you brag about it. People watching informational videos like to stay in point. Don't change the topic before you explain the current
You’re goals bro. For real
hey laidback luke
your one of my favourite djs and i just wanted to ask if you could explain this to me or answer some questions for me.
1. what app is best for production, i have fl studio and don't know if that's the best, yet its easy for me to use?
2. im currently starting out to dj and have a numark mixtrack platinum, is that good or not what you'd not normally use at a festival. could you maybe do a video on the best controller to use or if it doesn't make a difference?
3. could you do more like producing videos to help us use the apps you use so we can learn skills from you?, obviously not your secrets but just some tips.
4. when should you be looking at signing to a record label?
5. whats the best way to get your music out and be heard? is it soundcloud, spotify, youtube??
laidback luke, you are a good man
I'd love a part 2!
Tips for changing genres successfully during a set?
depends on the two ends of the transition. some tricks by me:
1) loop song 1 at some point that sounds like it was in a build up, a vocal or something similar, and lay it over the build of song 2 slowed down to song 1s tempo, then linking the 2 tempos together and pitching the tempo up to the original tempo of song 2. the new tempo should be reached when the pause before the drop comes in, there you cut out song 1. this mostly works for increasing tempo, for example going from house (128) to trap (140).
1.1) if you have a song in the original and in a remix (Which is in another genre and/or tempo), you can play the version in your starting tempo, then transition to the second version in the new tempo. it makes it seem even more natural.
2) there are songs that switch tempo in their own boundaries, like going from house to trap or moobathon. they can be used to easily transition between tempos.
3) if you want to go down in tempo, what i usually do is either transition at the brake of the songs and more or less hard cutting to the second song in the new tempo, or using halftime to get down. an example would be to have a trap song at 150 playing, then transitioning into Propaganda by DJ Snake at 75. the crowd wont notice at all if both songs are in a breakbeat, but it can also work with other types.
Infinite Animations thanks a lot, it really helped :)
I fucking hate tracks that change tempo. But yeah, what the other dude said. Bring in track 2 to track 1’s tempo so that the build of both tracks are playing simultaneously. Raise the tempo and then switch drops
He did a vlog on this already
he's covered that actually. watch some of his older vids
Im happy to see that you put my home town in your vlog especially since you murdered the show that night, one that ill never forget. Oh and thank you so much for the encore, hope you come back to slc soon!!
So much inspirational information! Thanks
Lol at the lady that crashed! 😂 Can’t wait for the second part of this Vlog!
Talk about plugings to use for production. like which ones are more usefull for each genre and tips. Massive in special please.

Good to see you enjoyed the crowd in Mexico! It's insane to think that you were in my country but I was not there to see you live, I literally have no other DJ I'd like to see live more than you, I will manage to catch you live one day!
Greetings Luke!
That track by Zatox and Mc Villain though. Straight 🔥🔥🔥
love this vlog, laidback luke the very best
6:32 Home girl just smashed into that car lol
Can't wait for the 2017 year mix!!!
I've been following your blogs and I have learned so much, thanks a lot, I also was there at daydream, finally got the chance to see you play, I'm glad that you enjoyed your experience in Mexico, I hope you come back soon, you are an amazing artist!
safe to say i cant wait for part 2 :D
Can you make a inside your mind while djing, but what goes on in your mind when reading the crowd. That way we can get a better understanding of how these technique are used.
Interesting statement about the Rio crowd. Although Baile funk is huge in Rio right now and much of Brasil.. that's somewhat tribal.
Hey Luke pls. make a video about really necessary Vst Plugins, Sample packs and so on maybe production tricks...🙌
You need 5 ways to read a woman, cuz Ashley looked pissed :P
KingKong lmao, it comes with the territory. very little sleep. lots of groupies. lots of travel and exhaustion = bad mood and less tolerance.
Hahaha
haha😄
HUGE love from Salt Lake City! Your vlogs are the best, hands down, and my friends and I enjoyed your show in this video alot! Not the first time most of us have seen you either! Thank you for your inspiration!
Not only is it a pleasure to watch these Vlogs but also so useful and informative! Thanks keep em coming 🙏🏻
This is pure gold. Thank uou
Thank you for this video Sir Luke! I just started my dj journey here in Japan. It's somewhat difficult to read the crowd because of the taste in music and language barrier. This vlog helped me a bunch. Thanks so much!
Your best video yet for DJs, you bring a global perspective only a high end DJ can provide. I would subscribe again if i could.
Hey man!! Huge Fan.. It feels great to see no matter how high a person can fly but still, is always there to share even the most basic knowledge to the world.. thanks man! keep inspiring.
One of the most humble DJs.... ;)
A good idea for a video is how do you choose your track lists?
For God's sake, ever since I found out that Laidback Luke would be present at Daydream Festival, I was dying because that day, I loved your set, from a very small dream to see you and listen to play live, without a doubt the best.
Great advice! Thanks!
Proud pinoy over here! I grew up watching you, I remember you doing promo for the dmx-1000 when it first came out. But I definitely would want to see you do another in my mind video using strictly vinyl.
Already hyped for part 2, amazing stuff, learned a lot in the vlog
Thanks, just in time for my first gig who’s tomorow
Would love to see a part II of this!!
How important visuals and lighting are for djs in their gig how they manage it, is really important to match them with sound. How you guys do it.
Vivint smart home area is where I graduated 🙌🏼 Go Jazz!!!
Could you do a video on how you find new music and what is your main source for new music
Please make a part 2 of this and thanks for such a nice video it was worth watching 😊
Part 2 for sure, love your knowledge 👌🏻
Hey Luke, a feedback from Brazil. I was shocked about people don't aprecciate the samba or tribal oriented eletronic, because for me that's the bomb haha. But is true that I've never heard a lot of this in the clubs.
Hey Luke! You should do a video on how to pick dj gear for beginners and whether or not the pioneer cdjs are worth the price despite all of the pros using them. Should we get a traktor kontrol s4??
