TIËSTO switched from Denon back to CDJ’s. Would be interesting to know what he didn’t like about the Denons. Maybe something you can discuss with him in a vlog? :)

@jaboozie9685 5 жыл бұрын

Joren I think he was getting payed by denon and his deal ran out. so he switched back.

@ChonkyMonkey1 5 жыл бұрын

But then the question begs, why switch back instead of just staying on Denons? If he switched back it would imply that he does not think the Denons are better (in his opinion at least), and that leads to false advertisement

Because it causes extra chew for the events. And, there's nothing really special about them.

@MattVorn 5 жыл бұрын

To be honest, there's only two reasons why. Pioneer can pay him more the Denon brand deal expired and Tiesto reverted to CDJs because he simply prefers CDJs.

I think you will find "Denon" didnt renew his deal, he didnt have anything to do with it.

DJ Tip: In most programs (Serato for example) you can label your tracks with colours, so just think up a colour code for your library and know the energy of your tracks :)

Organic is they way to dj. Why live in a box called harmonic mixing? Freedom I say! FREE AT LAST FREE AT LAST THANK GOD ALL MIGHY WE ARE FREE AT LAST! So glad you are willing to touch on this subject and why harmonic mixing takes the joy out of playing a killer set. Being able to watch the videos of your sets makes me smile and appreciate the craft. Thanks for keeping the cameras rolling.

So so so awesome to see that a legend as LL plays at “close to the public clubs” as “massive outdoor events”. And always 100% live so he has control of the crowd.

In 90's when playing full night sets 10pm-4am, you really needed the knowledge of reading your crowd. Every night was kind of different journey, the hit tunes were the same, but sometimes 30-40 mins rap/r&b between them was the key to blow the dance floor and next evening it might have been techno on the same club....

Thank you for touching on mixing out of key. so many times i find 2 tracks on the opposite spectrum of keys that work perfectly together. Too many djs organize their music by key and never test out combos out of key. When practicing at home, i find sorting by bpm way more helpful than mixing in key

I agree mixing in key is not so important for most genres. Sometimes I mix out of key a little bit, and the mix is a tiny bit off, but it still works better on the dance floor than fumbling around for the perfect track to mix and letting the energy of the existing track die down :D

What Luke is saying makes sense. In the 80's key mixing wasn't a thing and we did what worked for the dance floor. Keep the energy up and turn the floor once in a while and everything will be great.

I use the idea of using similar sounding songs alot, even if not in key. For example today I went from dancing alone by axwell ingrosso to loud about us - kill the beat. Great for changing the genres up a bit!

Keeping sets different is so vital. I've listened to people where I hear them once then come back in a year and the set sounds the same. If you sound the same in every set, then what's really keeping people coming back if they've already heard what you're gonna play anyway! Great topic to cover dude. Can't wait to see how those SC5000M's stack up against the standard players.

It's a great thing to hear about varying your set in such different and exciting ways from a DJ like you Luke, you really keep a lot of people passionate about DJing and producing as well (including me) and with tips like this we really can have a lot more fun behind the decks mixing and making other people (the crowd for example) happy as well thank you so much for this. Question: Do you think as a producer is OK to stay with the new ganres that are popular now but with your own sound or to stay at your own ganre but experimenting with other sounds?

Can you please do a VLOG on how you select the gigs you take?

I love djing and don't like saying no to any gig but obviously I can't do every set that is offered my way.

What's the best way to get the first engagement in a club or on a festival? I'm really interested how you got your first job. Probably you can make a tutorial with the best way(s)of getting "out of the bedroom". In your vlog about the "bedroom djs" you didn't mention ways to get first engagements and in my opinion it's the most important point on getting "famous".

I want to share how i vary my sets its kind of the reverse. I search for mash ups and when they sound nice, i research their individual tracks or mixes. And do them individually on my sets. Or sometimes there are great mash ups with common songs example AxB, BxC, CxD.. I research individual remixes on A, B, C, D and interchange them on my sets, some other nights i play the mash ups. So it will be different but stays familiar.
