My first ever - strictly speaking haha - Melodic House and Techno DJ Set. Before I jump in though I'll give you some tips to exploring new genres and crafting playlists!
1. I find Beatport is a great place to find and research and even download / stream new music
2. When crafting playlists be flexible in your approach - first attempt should be considered a rough draft
3. What's your goals for the set (the ramp / the wave)
4. Get super strong foundations (check out links to my courses below)
5. Do you use standard EQ or Isolator settings
6. How do you keep things interesting Видеоклипы

I added so much new content and bonus material - I have been devoting so much love and energy to it these past few months, hopefully you like :)
I am so sorry, it seems 1 minute / 1 transition of this mix was chopped out at 39.07 - it must have been because I was planning to do a commercial track mash up on the fly. Anyway, hope you can see past this and still have some fun :) :) Thanks again for all your support!
Some nice use of the mixer effects in there ;)
Question for you, saw you were using some cue points on tracks, with melodic are you setting cue points 24 bars instead of 16? Or? Thanks and love the channel!
Doesn’t detract from your mix mate. Listened again today. Great stuff. Learned tons from it

Many thanks :-)
Thanks Chris - I was kind of counting on this haha :) You're the best!!!
Legend!
Thanks man
Are these only available at beatport ? Beatsoure link has not that much techno I think. Do you think I can find these songs there?
@@kaynaktolga_ I was able to buy them all on apple music. For some reason with this type of Dance music they have their shit together... Try find decent Techno or Acid on there though... no chance x
As a new dj looking for guidance and clear understanding of the core principles omg you nail it, your passion is contagious- love the vids, totally awesome.
Honestly man ur such a cool guy hahaha shoutout from London uk legit been a bedroom DJ about 5 months now and I’m solid confident in what I know so far and continue to grow from videos and especially yours bro serious shit I love how you always smile and seem so excited to talk hahaha 👏🏼
Damn man that transition at 20:00 took me to another place, thank you. This is why we do what we do
I can definitely understand how many people can find melodic house and techno boring, but to me, they are the most interesting. They allow themselves to beat let your mind wander and completely disconnect. It does take an experienced taste, though. I’ve never met someone who is new to electronic music be interested in techno, melodic house, or classic prog.
Did the club ready course, and some extra advanced one-on-one's with Andrew a few years back. This dude is as energetic and passionate as he comes across on camera. Love to see he is getting the success and praise he deserves. Good on ya Andrew!
ALSO: I felt I should add that if anyone is unsure about jumping onboard with Andrew , my advice is to DO IT. Andrew & his course are of the highest quality, and his teaching style instills the same passion that he displays on camera. I was so enraptured with DJing & music after the club ready course that I actually went and got a diploma in music production! Cannot recommend Andrew & his course enough.
Legend! thank you so so much Adam
Crafting a play list takes time and planning, get a bit familiar, thinking of the event helps create a flow of energy and vibe.
It takes time and patience.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos Happy 2021👍
I think the reason I like playing melodic stuff is because I can get into the vibe when I'm just practicing. When I'm at a club with 300+ people and probably 100 of them rolling, house is the best thing in the world. But when I'm just trying to practice, sometimes those repetitive house hooks that set the club on fire just seem annoying. Maybe I could start a halfway house where I let people do drugs in my living room but they have to listen to me DJ. Then I could make a better house set!
I mean, seriously, though ... everybody loves house, and I've had people tell me my sets are "old school" like I'm not playing what kids like these days. The best raves I've been to in the past 6 months have been Claptone, Carl Craig, Seth Troxler, and Cosmic Gate ... and I guess Cosmic Gate was the craziest scene I've ever been to (and it was a Thursday), but that was full of 40+ year olds that were partying like their life depended on it ... but in general it's the house raves that are the best time. I just can't put together a house set that I really like the feel of because I can't get into it at home in my living room.
It takes time!! You have to be patience! Feel the flow of your track selection! Feel the movement of the music!! Once you do this you will be just fine! Don't give up!!
Every single one of your videos has been incredibly helpful for me, they have really helped me find my groove as a new DJ. Thank you so much Andrew 🙌🏼
i could never really vibe with mainstream/very normal club music. i always loved the slower genres, and for me, prog, afro, MH&T, all just resonate with me, even on the darker ends of those genres. it's an absolute vibe, and i love that about it. sure, not everyone will like it, but if you give it a chance, it can surprise you.
Strange thing, my aspiration was to become a techno DJ and now I got hooked on that house shizzle, haha lol.
Right here at 13:48 I started smiling and you just looked back at me right in my eyes, smiled back and even winked hahahahahah amazing
Kin - we're in sync ;)
Your positivity is always infectious!
You’ve made me such a better dj and this set is so beautiful and fun thank you for everything you do for the community. You are amazing brother 🤟🏼
You are so welcome!
ohhh man when rabbit hole hit. thank you for your tips! too much procrastination from lockdown til now. time to get serious. thank you again!!
I love melodic house and techno but it takes more of an emotional investment from the crowd and a level of sophistication.
It is great for a break in energy during the night when the crowd has reached the "zone" and the energy can be taken in any direction from it.
That's a really good point - quite often Deep, Progressive Dance Music is best received by actual House & Techno fans & other DJ'S, at least moreso than a random person on the street.
Interesting that you find it useful for "Peak Time" - I agree, upon reflection, despite in the past using the more mellow, melodic material at the start & end of my sets with Hard House & driving TechHouse accented with Electro Pop & Mainstage tracks forming the body of the "peak energy" part of my sets.
Could you please elaborate more on what the "zone" is?
dude, you gave me a lot, especially in this video.. it can be seen that you have experience in teaching people to be a DJ with feelings
Was just creating a mix of this today! How crazy
Loved the vibe of your set! Really amazing and fluid. I need kind of 2 hours to get into the mood to start getting into harder techno haha, I love progression too. My way of playing is always going up on BPMs and depends for who im playing.
I’m October I had an accident at work that made me and I forgot how to do a few thing but with the power of your channel and multiple others I relearned how to dj just in time for my first ever New Years gig and now I’m learning so much so thank you for helping me bring back what I love so much and making me be able to re chase my dream
This is my new fav dj set. Dude you inspire me to finally start djing
I've learnt how to DJ a lot better throughout lockdown cos of these vids! Thanks
This is the best type of music!
Your such a beautiful soul, so inspiring to watch. Made me rekindle my passion for music and djing.
Thanks for your advice mate always love the passion that you have for being a dj
Also, Andrew, I am greatly looking forward to your course. I have purchased it but waiting until life isn't quite so busy before diving in, right now just working on some track acquisition and prep but can't wait to go through the course
Awesome, thank you!
Great video as always! Thanks Andrew.
Just ordered my first DJ controller Let’s go!!!
They are so fun dude u will love, Andrews course is sick too
Just been through this again. Got to say what an awesome track selection - how on earth did you select such bangers. Well done!!
Haha trial and error and a little bit of intuition and experience no doubt!
I’ve only just saw this today. Absolutely love this. Just pure class. Love the set up.
you're a great teacher man, i've learned so much from you!
Spot on mix. You got more I hope
Respect for you and your channel increased hundred fold. You took me on an emotional journey with you. Thank you for that so much.
Red tape by Forsby is such an intensely beautiful song.
Very nice m8 love from Scotland great 👍 mix
Amazinggg I have been waiting for you to mix melodic techno and you smashed it !! The energy in this video was amazing, was dancing with you all the way :)
Thank you 🙌
Been having some inner conflict about what genre I want to mix and I think this settles it. Love the vibe.👍
i was downloading music for my upcoming gig, and the first track that i download was from Fabrication - Dustpig, and then i started to work something in the studio and your video pop up. So i am listening watching , learning from you, and you start the set with the same track.
Now....
Thats called universal connection!
Love your channel, love your videos always learning from you. Love your positive approach and uplifting energy that you share thru your videos.
Thanks a lot for what you do
And yes offcourse SUBSCRIBED :)
Every video of yours motivates me to get behind the decks, i love it
absolute nuttah pal, try a 140BPM techno set for the next?
Thank you so much Andrew cause of your videos I love Mondays
my goodness i was so exited to hear that first track one of my favs
New to DJing this year.
I started off the year feeling pretty miserable in general. I absolutely love your channel and vibe. You bring so much joy and happiness!
Also great content and lessons! Keep up the good work and making people feel good. 🙇🏼♂️
Wow thanks Matt I really appreciate this :)
Could hear this for hours! Thanks for another cool set!
I really like the mixer cam 👍
I have said it before and I will say it again - that was absolutely wicked bro. I have just watched this again and carefully examined your blending and mixing between such an excellent choice of tunes. Seriously well done - properly brings a smile to my face. The way you blended Rabbit Hole to Best of Me was first class. Also Koi to Midnight - top drawer. Thanks again. Keep it up.
Much appreciated :)
This is one of the best sets of many!! 100% enjoy.
for me ive requested this video a few times and i couldnt have been more happy with this video everything applied to me and was such a perfect video
I'm so glad! Thank you so much!!!
Sometimes I really struggle to define between this genre and Progressive House. Great set.
Me too! I would have no idea but go on what beatport says lol!
progressive house uses chord progressions with a resolution, melodic trance generally sticks to 1 or 2 chords
Another AWESOME set! ...Damm I can’t wait for the clubs to open up again !!! 🙌🏼
I absolutely love your passion and really enjoy watching your videos!! Thank you!
This was really great!!
Melodic house is a great genre to get creative with, love the mix and some great transitions
Knew this video was here but first listen today while working. Really really enjoyed this 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Nicely played Andrew. Like very much to do loops on the go, without hotcues. Sometimes is amazing the incredible grooves you can get from various melodies looping. But I never get to do it exactly the same again. Pure One -Off. Best regards from the frosted Europe.
That is an incredibly smooth set, I drifted off to another place.
Jeesh. Feeling you. I am a starting DJ, babysteps but your advice is great. That set was the bomb, absolute genius!
This a great set. One of the best I’ve heard in long time by any DJ. Love it!
Thanks for putting this on up Andrew I really enjoyed it not least because you used a few tracks that I love to hear and often use myself. I find it really thought provoking to hear how others incorporate the same tracks. As always your positive energy infects every bit of your mix awesome mate.
Thanks Sean :)
Nice! I really enjoy your course, it has helped me a ton. Much respect for passing on info & being a good techer.
Love it🔥❤️ you are always providing so much to learn. Thank you Andrew. Discovering you was the best thing ever!
That was awesome. Thanks for the ideas and great song choice
Great advice 👌...Using Andrews course I’ve been able to journey from learning how to prepare a set to having that knowledge about music structure to have more confidence to play on the fly 👍
❤andrew is a maestro mixer
Great mix. Sometimes it's nice to hear something mellow yet driving. Change of pace.
Couldn't agree more!
@@ClubReadyDJSchool I would love to hear the song "Tsundoku" Original Mix by Sili. It's gotta drop that just throws it out man... I realize you're not a request line, but i'd love to see how you apply the physics of the song in a hard mix.
That Artbat track is amazingly powerful. Can't wait to play that track on a real sound system. Great video as always. Cheers!
this style actually looks really fun to play. thanks for another mix video, these are always awesome. The best one so far was the tech house vid, because you used 3 decks. I'd love to see some more stuff with three decks!
Great mix andrew as usual, can't believe you dropped ' hosh ' in there. Ive literally just put it in my basket on beatport at the weekend and I love ' keep control ' too. Looking forward to our next zoom call 👍👍
Reminds me of one of Scumfrog’s live sets.
What another top video, great mix yet again. Many thanks for sharing Andrew and keeping us all motivated 👌🏼 Love the video effects too👍🏼
Thank you 🙌
Brilliant set,and it shows how passionate you are.excellent
Thank you kindly good sir!
Your videos are so inspiring and awesome to watch!! It just gives a smile on my face. Keep it going brother!
Thank you! Will do!
Great tunes , great course , it’s really helpfully , I really enjoy it .
great style! you are a good DJ! 💪
Great work man!! Could maybe do a 145+bpm techno tips video one time? Like Nico moreno, ørgie, miss djax etc?
Great suggestion!
Yes, a video about fast, ravy Warehouse techno would be awesome
1 word BRAVO!
Night of learning ahead, love your videos ❤️
Another amazing set, providing inspiration and the best outlook on DJing in my opinion! Thanks again Andrew, just released my first 2 sets 🤙🏼
Ooh, looking forward to this one
wow!!! amazing set
i will be happy for more melodic techno videos and mixing tips for these genre :)
keep up the hard work and thank you
More to come!
I use bandcamp, direct support to artists and labels and there are lods of hidden gems.
100% good call
Excellent video as always Andrew, I'm looking forward to doing your course in the summer once all this madness has past.
Jono UK 👍
This is great news you won't regret it :)
you make djing FUN...!!! i so like it... the correct attitude... so mix it up and enjoy.. Great Channel Also... love it.... THANKS... as a DJ you have to be creative.... this is so... :) Rabbit Hole, CamelPhat, Jem Cooke such a great track also..!!! if it makes you MOVE... or rock your head... it's a TUNE
brilliant set yet again by the master. loving the video and edit tricks too
Haha yes I had some fun editing this one :)
Great choice of tunes 👍👍👍
loved it much ❤️🪘😎
Thanks ✌️
That was definitely a bangin set andrew!!! I loved how you used the track from hunger games mockingjay part 1 when they are marching towards the hydroelectric dam. Would love to see a full track list for sure.
Did you do the visual video effects yourself? If so thats great man! You seriously are a man of many talents!
Love your content and keep up that high energy brother!
🐉☁️
Sure did, thought I may have got a little carried away with it haha ;)
@@ClubReadyDJSchool That is awesome! I can see how some might feel things like that to be overkill, i thought it was nice! Visual effects are not needed but i feel adds a whole different element in making a greater overall experience. At least thats just my opinion. 🙌🙌🙌
I agree I had it playing on the tele while I was cooking the entire time and my family ate dinner to his set haha was banging we all enjoyed our food and our soul food
what a cheeky mix, very nice... thx for the tips
another great dj mix! I loved the trance mix and now this is an awesome addition.
I'm a new dj trying out how to upload my mixes on RUclips without getting blocked. how are you able to play these songs.
are you able to make a video on this?
keep up the good work and inspiration. I have loved watching you videos over lockdown.
I did a video a few weeks back about this - check it out!
Love your house and techno content, its my favourite genre to mix
That was such an amazing mix, love your videos ❤️❤️❤️
Andrew. I have decided that I want you do a video on what to wear at a venue. Cover casual to posh. In the many years I've been watching RUclips videos for DJ tips. I have never seen one on this subject matter.
On it! This is actually a really good idea!
As ever love your work👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for sharing this, much love 💖
great lesson!
Thanks! 😃
you are really positive guy and i like it ;) i waiting for club/dance mix :)
