Respect to Laidback Luke for being a true working DJ!!

Can’t tell u how valuable your videos have been for me. Started DJ’ing again at the ripe old age of 39. Almost a 20 year gap from the teen ages. Mid life crisis went out of control and now I’m hooked. Never too old to pick up new hobby and run with it. Thanks for making yourself so accessible to your fans and sharing your life and incredible musical skills. Keep them coming because U are impacting lives and making dj’s out of ordinary people.

I think live mashups are so much fun, sad that so many DJs are afraid of mixing them live.

If you're looking for just the tips of the video 1. Mixing acapellas live 3:15 2. Setting hot cues 6:05 3. Climax Mixing 8:00 4. Using Loops 9:15 5. Drop Mixing 11:40 6. Various BPM 14:20

Nice, one, I love doing this too! Otherwise I get pretty bored quick and also gives you more options to create mashups if a dj before you already played that one hit acapella :)

I know this is an old video, but your attitude to this whole game is absolutely inspiring.

Im actually really proud to say this. I watched these vlogs since I first learned how to DJ. And now I love being creative and taking risks! I sort of thought this was a standard amongst professional DJs... I was shocked to notice that some of my peers and DJ friends dont take risks, or mash up tracks, or play with EQ/FX the way some others do

So much respect for this guy! A true DJ from a different era keeping it real still today

Laidback you a great person I'm so happy you are teaching us your talent. We really appreciate every single video you post. Must love from Manchester, England.

You always post great VLOGs LL, but this one, for me, was probably the best. Full of many great tips and a big thanks for sharing your thinking about setting cue points and how to do live mashups. Just perfect!

I've not heard any other mainstream DJ mix as well as Luke. They always mix seamlessly and it becomes boring quite fast. Luke is one of the very few DJs who actually makes the crowd go crazy as hell! Kudos to you, Luke! RESPECT AND LOVE! :)

Much respect on keeping asses moving over "technical DJ skill." You are a true champion of the art sir!

Dat laatste is zo fijn te horen! Tnx @laidback luke! Aan iedere dj draai live. Draai met passie voor de mensen die met passie naar jou komen luisteren!! Voor elke beginnende dj, daag je eigen uit! Daar wordt je beter van.

Your videos are amazing thank you I’m 15 years old and dj and edm electronic music is my live I do dj since 2 \3 years i made always pre mashups with a daw and in the last mounts it’s very boring to play only tracks and now I have a lot of inspiration for making live mashups I’m sooo happy thank you ❤️

Love this , the old school style of mixing live to still the best, and the only way that I mix! Props to u DJ Laidback Luke🙌

giving the noobs all the best kept secrets!! Luke you have them all running back to the booth! I love it.

Own produce, still being real DJ, not pre-recorded sets, much respect

Accepting the hidden little mistakes as a DJ as happy accidents, Bob Ross it up! Mixing on the same key keeps that energy up and flowing ! I at times go up one higher key as the 2nd drop hits!Live mash up mixing does sound awesome!

This is the way I’ve done it for years. When I first heard anti climax buildups with your sets, I was hooked and never looked back, Ls up

Luke! Ive been religiously watching your sets and I am mix mashing live as more my style than anything else! Crazy how just watching you inspired your style onto myself as the proper way to DJ. I have learned so much watching all your videos and tips and just practicing, practicing, and more practice. Me, Daniel Son... You Mr. Miyagi.

your videos are always a VIBE luke

This is super helpful even when just using a simple cheap dj controller that saves cues for songs. I am just so glad you are so helpful with showing secrets for success in the industry.

Literally the vlog I have been waiting for cheers dude!!

You're such an inspiration to young DJ's! Thank you so much for all you do!

Harmonic mixing is ok but nothing beats just simple mixing. I got so hooked on harmonic mixing and perfection that I lost sight of the fun of mixing! Your last few Vlogs have shown me the fun again thanks!

Thanks Luke! Your vlogs are always helpful!

Great Video as always! Man, I Love this kind of Tutorials from you, always leads me to try out for myself, and yes they are so much fun to try out. Thanks Laidback Luke for keeping the real Djing alife!

I have the most immense respect for u! i do like your music not gonna say my favorite stuff but i love your skill of DJing and producing. And you represent everything good about dance music. Thats really rare. Example: you would rather market and create milkshake over alcohol. Shows that you know what the world needs rn! hopefully one day i can be a part of your label

simply One of best Djs he share all his experience TIPS & Tricks with us Big Respect :)

Respect to laidback luke for sharing his skills and techniques of Djing and mixing. THANK YOU :)

Love the video Luke!! Your keeping real djing alive, and giving so knowledge in every episode merci!

Big up Luke for always keeping it real! Love your live sets & mashups since your appearance at Slam FM ADE in 2014! 💪

respect to you bro this has helped me a lot with my confidence in djing. ive done all this stuff before like utilizing the drop like you said as im watching the waveforms and listening to the track and ive always fought it doesn't sound that good and I can do better but then that's the true art of real djing at a fast style like you do today and now you've explained even you do it I feel a lot better in myself. At the end of the day its not about the tiny mistakes and mis judges that you yourself as a dj will notice but how the crowd reacts and how they go about it which is all that matters aslong as your having fun also! :)

laidback luke the headmaster of dj the legend himself making dance music even more transcendent to the people ears by these useful tutorial on how to mismashing stuff within minutes and there you have the perfect combination of restrospect and splendid at the same time anyway love you laidback hopefully you will spend more time and explaning more on these categiories that might me the crucial part of teaching these tricks that people wanna be like when they started to grow up in the near future it is very essential and very helpful to convincing that music its all about the conncetion that you try interpreted it out to the world

Love that you take Your time to learn us mortals how to do Your stuff

Your set in Montreal was incredible , Can't wait to see you again! See you next time.

Much awaited!! 🔥🔥🔥

This video both inspired and taught me a lot about the art of DJing. Coming from a musical background, this is just as challenging if not more difficult than writing and performing in a live band

I love to see you playing LL. Good inspiration for those who wants to be a real dj.

you are the best! you are my role model. and my motivation so that I do not surrender as a dj and become a recognized producer like you! im a dj from bolivia. i follow you all days.

You are amazing my friend! Thanks so much for your insight and allowing us to be a part of your journey! I have learned so much from you and I’m excited to learn more! Appreciate your videos! Much love and respect to you my brother!!!!:):). Keep’em dancing bro!!

I am a rookie DJ, but I love mashup stuff!!! Thank you, Luke. I learn lots of techniques from your vlogs!! Ls UP!!

Always love how you try to do things on the spot!! And thank you so much for showing various transitioning techniques!Really helpful! Your new track MILKSHAKE is really good(Milky)!!

i'm a new DJ so all your tutorials are very very helpful! Loving that milkshake remix too rocking that in my sets!!

Ohh yeah! Very genius answer Luke 2 that Deejay, sometimes is not just about the technical knowledge, is about energy and keeping ur eyes to the crowd, i seen ur live videos and really like the way u mix, u know to play the popular and go back to classics and also experiment with the crowd, thats the way we do it where i come from! i never played for a big crowd, i used to play in small nightclub in the hotel i use to work in my country, it must be a great feeling!? Anyways i wanna say thaks for all the tips and effort u put in youtube, it really inspired me fir get 2 a hight level in the production field! I been 5 years doing it but where i come from the internet it wasn't an option for the ppl, and it was hard for me to get the tools for production now been 1 year in canada, and i just made my project with a awsome friend of mine dj also! This is who we are Dreambigger! Hopefully someday we get to your level and we can meet u! Soon in couple days i will be a father to, also dedicate, well i will do my best) deejay i am already, produccer getting there, not Kong fu athlete, just like to play futbool or (soccer in america) Thank You very much 4 everything 🙏

Massive Respect to you Luke! Your vlogs are so informative and helpful. I'm gonna try live mixing in one of my shows next time and see if it works out for me. Keep up the vlogs and hope to see you somewhere in the world soon! Respect ✌✌ - MEDCO

I told you before on twitter! Your vlogs are really inspiration and from seminar 2015 i started to use hot cues on my old denons and djing for me is so much fun. Thank you Luke, you are really true master :) I hope to see you in Czech Republic some day again :)

Thanks Luke! I am learning more and more with each of your tips. Thanks to you, I have stepped up my game and hopefully soon I will be DJing for something more than just a tiny stream!!

First Laidback!!!!! You give me so much life!!

Thnx Luke for putting my new track "Screech" in your vlog! :D Live Mashing up is one of the things that make your sets so unique!! Keep it up the oldskool way!

Great video, love how you combined your travels into the tutorial

Perfect! Exactly what I needed. Learning from the best. Thanks, Luke.

thank you very much laidback luke for this remarkable lesson of mix. thanks to this type of vlog, the "bedroom dj" like me, learn a lot. And it feels good.

Thank you so much for making this! I’m learning so much!!! You’re the best!

These tips are gold! Now time for me to practice.

Nice video as always Luke, I can remember I opened a night for Andy Ward, when he used to play on Galaxy fm Birmingham, He dropped a acapella over a dub, stopped the track, let the chorus play, switched record and dropped a different track for the 2nd verse.

Agree with You Luke. Even If i havent mixed yet on, only virtualy in phone and PC, i totaly agree.

Your shirts and hats in this vlog are so fire

thank you for sharing your knowledge it's help a lot, love from the philippines

We love you Luke! Much love from a bedroom DJ in Stockholm

real dj guys!! amazing work luke :)

Thank you man! You are the best Luke

So proud of ur style since i watch dj sound show pionner

Excellent as usual Luke !. I also do Drop mixing more than anything else. That and also BackSpin with Echo straight into the next track.

hahahaha die lach toen je zei haat niet geef me een like. Je bent echt zo een chille gast en heel dat like gebeuren boeit je eigenlijk niet, maar je zegt t denk ik omdat iedereen t zegt. Mooie vlog ook man. Lucas, ook al zijn we even oud, ik ben en bliijf fan van je

huge DJ inspiration!!

So good I watched it twice. . Would be great to hear about your transition from vynil to CD's back in the day. Equipment, frustrations, and eventually the great "benifit" of the life altering transition as well as all that good stuff.

Class as always total respect 👌👍 I learned a lot from your vlogs Much appreciated keep it going 🎶🎶

Great Video Luke! I to have started to mash everything live thanks to you. Love your videos! :)

My favorite mashup technique is the loop the first section of a drop and have a break vocal of a track in key come in on second round, then mixing out during the build up of the vocal track.

Excellent content as always! I've learned a lot from you and properly the only reason i've come to the point i am now skillswise

Thanks for killin the game dude! Your an inspiration to all us DJ vloggers out here.

Great VGlog as usual, Laidback Luke ! Thank you for putting so much Love and fun in your published work... (Don´t be "afraid" of Haters .. they are just deeply and sickly jealous ! )

I totally agree mixed in key is only just a guide it’s all about matching bpms. I bought a sample pack and mixed 4 or 5 together in Ableton session view I thought this sounds amazing but to my horror all the keys were different but because Ableton matched the bpms to 122 it sounded great.

Man you always kill it with the videos, always entertaining, My favorite DJ and inspiration. The knowledge is always on par with beginner/intermediate, Would love to see some more maybe advanced techniques? there's just so many combos you can do on a mixer its mind blowing sometimes. Also What do you think about duos? Can you do more with another set of hands that maybe you couldnt do on your own?

I agree N!K thay are a lot of fun, thanks Luke for all the tips and tricks, look forward to the next video!

Good work as always, Luke! Share the knowledge! 🙏✊

IV ben waiting for this vlog. Like always a good video. Just wana ask you about what is your motivation. What's keep you patient about music / workouts. Share with us some tips to keep motivated. Love you Luke

Hey Luke, I finally got to see you at Ilesoniq last weekend!!! Worked my way as close to the front as I could before the set so I could throw some L's up! What a show! Your set was the highlight of my weekend, especially being a a fan of your music and viewer of your vlogs for so long and knowing how everything is mixed on the fly and not prepped ahead of time :D Im tilted we couldnt make it to your techno only afterparty though :( Much love

I still have maps and maps of CD's all burned in WAV and sorted on Genre and Key.. Back in the day we didn't had all those nice features and had to spend ages to be able to mix in key.. I even wrote the bpm and key on the vinyls I had .. Best setup was two turntables (closest to the mixer) and 2 CDJ's for the best mashups of old obscure and new tracks.. The memories man..

you made it sure for me that I am on da right track of mixing and mashing up , thank you

Amazing chanel thank you for inspiration and thank you for keep it real !! peace beatz and greetz from germany !

Hey i just found u and u are very informative! im really learning just got a pioneer unit but its a real learning curve for me! lol looking forward to more of your vids.

What is your opinion on Salvatore Ganacci? Just asking

Love your videos LL and looking forward to more. Unfortunately I'm not sophisticated enough to apply this one yet. I'm on my grind to learn more about basic production before I can put this video into use. Hope to be in the same lineup with you in a music festival one day

You are always awesome!!!👍

Nice! And now thinking that your voice is very relaxing plus great djing skils

Love LaidbackLuke for his attitude not spending to much about mixing in key, his energy package "system" is way more pushing! Nowadays it is really hard to not mix in key because you earn so many more tracks and u dont know all of them by head - i think this is the reason why many djs/producers mix in key and do not try that much anymore. Myself i have found more then the T(xA/xB/x+1A/x-1A) rule for key mixing, mine is always Key xA - xB/xA/x-1A/x+1A/x+2A/x+4A/x+7A - those are all harmonic and within this range of tracks i find more tracks wich i could use. Additionally if i find fitting parts in my favorite songs, instrumental parts/ climax/ bass/ snare/ kick/accapellas - i can mix these aswell even if the key is disharmonic.

Oh man thanks so much the part where you told me to make sure I have the volume up when playing a track was very helpful!! ++++

YOUR AWESOME BRO !!!! THANKYOU FOR THE INFORMATION !!!!

Dude you're so good, much love btw would've LOOOOVEEED to see you at Ilesoniq Festival in montreal!! you were actually THE only one I really wanted to see there! Unfortunately I had an operation to my knee but hope you like your Montreal Fans here!

Thanks for sharing your pro tips LLuke.

i really like ut intro, everytime when i watch ur videos, i watch ur intro 10-20 times and then i go watching ur video :DDDDD

I love how you design your cue point, and color code them!! I’ll adapt that into my tracks, I think it’ll make for seamless mixing!! #MixMash4Life

Ohh i am sooo looking forward to the Techno Vlog!

actually been doing this for a long time already, also I never prepare a set, since I don't know how many people are there and how the energy is, so everything on the spot, which makes it interesting for me.

So so helpful✌🏻 respect!!

My favourite DJ No.1

Love it bro! Would love if you did a private Dj/Producer development course...

In order to know exactly how to coordinate drops so you can drop mix, my tip is to go right on the drop, use the beat jump tool to go exactly 32 beats back and set a cue point there so whenever I see that cue point coming up I know that I am exactly 32 beats away frm the drop so then I can launch the same hot cue in another song and have them coordinated.
