Holy crap. Lot more difficult then i expected

everyone who says "Dj's just press play" need to watch this, so much more is done and aswell as tons of skill is involved

Absolutely insane! I am just starting out. Total beginner. I'm blown away right now. Very humbling to watch you work, and now I am starting to realize what a long road I have ahead of me. God bless you Laidback Luke. You are a true master at your craft and it's a privilege to learn from you. One of the best in the world for sure! L's UP!!!

The struggle of running out of time when mixing xD

This should be the video of WHAT DJ's REALLY DO !!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Next time, do this video but during an actual live set in-front of a crowd. So we can also see whats choices u make according the the crowds energy. Just my suggestion cause i feel thats whats most important as a dj. reading the crowd energy and adjusting ur set to it. you know what i mean? Anyways thanks for this video, literally watching this before my first gig at a Halloween party here in Toronto!

Luke, I'm just a producer and have been interested in dj'ing. It is safe to say you are the first guy who really has shown me what it takes, what all those knobs do and how they are done, with every other so called dj video of tutorial, it's always blurry. please do more of these! LOTS OF LOVE MAN! XX

Thanks for the video Luke! This is so good to watch and hear what your thinking. There's a huge lack of "good" DJ tutorials on the web. Be great if you could keep these videos coming!

Best DJing Tutorial EVER created! I will watch this 100 times! :) Laidback Luke should definitely be in the Top 5 Best DJs of the world!

not even 24 hours ago I was like " man i wish someone would do some sort if video of them DJing and posting or saying what they are doing along the way , but that's probably way too complicated for anyone to care to do" and then bam! stumble upon this! much appreciated :)

These "In my mind" tutorials are fantastic for helping out the budding DJs who are just overwhelmed at the amount of stuff that goes through our brains in such a short amount of time. 43 and still playing myself. Happy Bday Luke.

legitimately one of the best tutorials on djing ive ever seen especially for cdjs, thanks luke, you've earned yourself a life long fan!

I would do anything to get a day behind the turntables with him to learn...... PLEASE MAKE MORE!!!!!

Please post more of these! They are so insightful and so helpful. Really fun to see what your thought process is when you are playing. Please make more! Much love from Canada!

This is awesome stuff! I love that you said you're 40. I'm 25 and just started getting into DJing/producing, but was worried I would be too old for it. Glad to see you're still killing it and that you aren't out of style!

#1 Best and most technical DJ in the World. Take notes!

we need more of this, and ur beginner production tutorial as well. thanks a lot. ur the best

I'm only 5 years into DJing and I tell you what, this video was extremely helpful. Taught me some new ways to get out of tough situations. Appreciate it Luke! Give us more!

Wow Luke, this gave me goosebumps, you're definitely an adrenaline seeker and the talent is unreal, you genuinely have a great ear and know all your tracks inside out.

Please do more of this kind of episodes! Super helpful!

That was absolutely sick. Definetly would love to see more of this! Or longer, doesn't matter haha...but definetly helpful and great to watch! Thanks.

This was totally awesome to watch you do this and see the commentary. I've been a huge fan for years and years, and this commentary alone helped me understand more about your approach and how you mix than anything I've ever seen you do previously. I would love to see a lot more of this, maybe even longer sets, too.

LL! please upload more of these videos please! I have learned more from you in just a week than I have learned from others in longer periods of time and for that I cant thank you enough. You're the best!

Hi Laidback, Wow this is great. This is really nice for beginners. As we can see what you think we can put actually ourselves into the same situation as you are. It helps me to see how to find a way in the complete mess I do when I mix and to see how I can and could have a way out. It gives a shot to technics that can be use to mashup and switch song, and this other than lpf and hpf, like the switch with an acapella or EQ playing. But we see that some like the scratching requires skills and experiments that some don't unfortunately have, well for the moment. I think it is the best idea to teach us how to behave in a live when we record, perform and even practice!!!! Now the greatest thing to do with it is to actually make max 20min for a mix and at the end take the most important moments of the mix and describe them, I mean explain what is going on which actions you chose to do what other possibilities you had and the things you shouldn't have done etc....... Thank you Laidback Luck you have for my opinion the best idea to teach us with this video what a dj must think. PLEASE DO MORE!!!!!!!! ;-) Thank You Future Vibes

Nice vid homie. Tof dat je peeps een duidelijk. beeld geeft van wat je tijdens je set aan het doen bent. Love seeing more DJs share the knowledge 👊🏽

Thanks for your vlogs man. Old school vinyl guy myself. Recently bought a controller for all the newer tracks I’ve accumulated and your tutorials have really helped polish all the ins and outs of newer tech. Please keep em coming.

That was amazing Luke! Been watching all your djsounds sets, but this video really cleared my mind on some details! Hope u come to Brazil again soon! Cheers!

Great video as usual Luke!

heck i am 70 and still djing happy birthday. let's see a picture of your wonderful children, d,j, discoworm san fransisco

This is amazing stuff, would definitely enjoy hearing and seeing more of this. I spin drum and bass, but it's a joy watching you work!

hands down best tutorial vid I’ve seen yet!!! Thank you so much for this!!! Will be watching every vid like this you drop

I find this shit fascinating, you should definitely do more :) A true DJ!

this is great, i showed this to a few people who thought DJing was "so easy" and it blew them away. btw, what do you think of the keyboard search feature with the NXS2? surely it helps speed track discovery

This is an invaluable video. Laidback Luke you've been my favorite DJ since 2008 when I started listening to the electronic genre and since then you have been my main influence!

love this dude.. because hes real... this is dee-jaying 101. #1 (u gotta love music) #2 (you gotta have a personality) #3 (you gotta practice alot!) #4 (you gotta get out there and fight for your place in the world as a dee-jay) #5 (never give up)

Hi Kuya laidback! :D im not a DJ but i can relate to the things you say and you do. maybe because i used virtual dj for more than 3years. lol til now im still an aspiring dj and couldn't afford some controllers. sad. btw this vlog really helps kuya laidback :D thanks!

"but but djing is easy"

yes absolutely would love to see more of these type of videos...absolutely love your sets mann

Amazing video man, watching years later and seeing such thought and time put into this probably made the world of DJ's a better place. Good shit

this is what should be expected from all DJs at the VERY LEAST

Hey Luke, I"m curious, why not use the master and sync buttons? Would give you even more time for tricks and effects..

amazing mix!! over the years from hearing your sets, you've inspired me for my own DJ sets in the types of techniques you use. Adding my own character to them has given my own techniques a signature sound almost for DJing. Love the vlogs! keep at it!

Yes I want to see more and longer of it ! I like it ! The best video of Djing I have ever seen. Thanks Laidback Luke !

I press play on Spotify, and I faint, Mickey.

interesting to see that he never really touches his highs and mids equalizers.. he just focuses on swapping bass, and filtering out of tracks..

Love your stuff man. Have seen you doing your thing more then once live, great to see how the actual thought/creative process goes.

That's absolutely what I expect from a DJ! Thanks for keeping up the culture Luke!

Tracklist? :)

the scratch at 4:30 (Y)

Although I've been a professional solo artist for 20 years, I'm just starting out DJing. I have to say this is a very intuitive video and I hope to see more. Great job, Luke!

I love watching these videos because they are entertaining to know what is going on in a DJ's mind during the mix.

Man I really have to know... Do you really do all this procedure live in your mind? How can you keep in time? :O Whats your preparation before a set? I cant beilive you are better than best! :O I could never do this on my own. I admire you.

name of the song @ 12:33 ?

This was by far one of the most helpful DJ tutorials I have ever watched...and I have watched A LOT

110% would love to see more of these types of videos man!

If the Dj Mag was on Dj skills and not.popularity Luke would be number 1

tracklist?

Probably the best Set I've ever seen. He is actually mixing and remixing live. I love Mixing house for that very reason.

this episode is amazing, a great look into how you approach dj'ing, the captions are a great touch as well!

Don't go in the red bro

This should watch everyone who says garrix or hardwell are good djs.

Thank you so much Luke. Nothing more helpful than receiving tips from your favorite DJ! Love the vid, keep them coming please.

Awesome!!! Super cool!!! This is what i've been waiting for since your performance at the dj sound show twice..

So much buttons to click, i prefer flying an airplane.....

Yo, this series is AMAZING! Learning so much, keep em coming!

Wow, I've been looking for a dj tutorial with explantions like this for so long and you nailed it! PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE VIDEOS! :D

this video was amazing!!!!! I love that i had to speed read jus to keep up, tells me as a dj that i need to be thinking way ahead lol. cant wait to see your next video

Loved the video! Would like to see another, possibly part 2, but have it be longer. Great work Luke!

This is one of the most helpful dj videos I've seen. Would love to see more djs do this. Thanks much for this LL, and keep em coming!

Big Fan here ! Just wanted to say i absolutely enjoy your videos and this one in particular since i recently started my journey to becoming a DJ/Producer. Please keep making these they help out so much !

You're talented bruh. I like that all your breaks and switches between trax aren't so predictable.

Absolutely love this, dude! Please keep em coming!

INCREDIBLE! You always put on amazing live shows and now I see why! The talent and skill level is out of this world! Thank you for sharing this!

Loved watching you dj and telling what's going on your mind. More of these please!☺️👌🏽

I loved this!!! Really helps all Dj's out there so please do longer ones and more!!! I really enjoyed this video because a dream of mine is to DJ at festivals and watching you do your thing is inspirational!!!

Kuya Luke! I am from way south of the Phils but I spent all my savings to watch you perform in Manila during the Viber Independence Day event. I've been DJing for more than 5 years now and you have inspired me since then! From your song selection to your mixing techniques. I always let aspiring DJs from here watch your 'Real DJing seminar' as it also taught me a lot! Looking forward to more of this kind of vlogs for me to continually learn more. Cheers!

More of these please! And the 15 minutes length is just nice! Thank you for uploading this!

Really appreciated this episode. Would love to see more as one who is currently learning and aspiring!

i really got love for this humble talented man,im from saudi arabia where djing is outlaw and learned by watching great people like him djing. keep on learning kids

fcukin awesome ! can't for more of this kind of your videos luke, and your vlogs also !

Yeah definately! laidback luke, please do more of these, really helpful and inspiring your the greatest LL!

Luke, you are one of the best DJs in the world! I've learned so much from your videos. Thank you so much.

My favourite video you have done yet. Next to the DJ seminar.

LBL!!!!! This is the vid I've been waiting for!!!! I've been asking a friend to do this exact thing for almost a year now with no luck!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!! Please do some more like this!

Hoping to catch your set in 2019- love this tutorial dude and excited to try these techniques myself. Thanks brother and keep it rockin'

That lowering the bass just before the drop and then reaplying it on the drop is an awesome idea. Makes for more of a hit!

Dj great video. I've been watching your vlogs the past few days and its just ridiculous the amount of knowledge I've gained. Tbh, the first video i saw of you was the hour long seminar, and I was not moved. But somehow someway you still brought me back in. Thanks so much for all the help in 2018!

Without words my friend, That was owesome I think that in those 15 " I have been learned more that one year about DJin.. Thank you Luke...please continue with this kind of tutorials...regards from Colombia.

great idea for this video, and I love the captions, it helps me understand much more about the mixin process. thanks and can't wait for the next episodes !!

Great to see an honest set with mistakes and all, it shows the public the job we do and how we aren't just button pushers. Respect to you.

Longeeeeer please! Congrats man, u r awsome djing. Would love to see more of these type of videos

this is great! perfect length to follow and good to understand what´s in your mind while doing this! thx

This is absolutely a good idea. Knee to see longer version. Thanks Luke

This is so awesome! Keep this up LL, we want more of this!

Love your tutorials! Keep them coming.

More of this please, truly amazing!

You are a master! I love this and would love to see more and longer videos!

Amazing video. For someone who has used 1210s since 1994 and just transitioned to CDJs it’s a great way to see some of the possibilities with creativity. Whilst I love vinyl, CDJs allow so much more quick transitioning, effects and general mashing of tracks to an extent that people think many are remixes. Top notch LL!

great vid, really interesting seeing an experienced DJ's mind at work. more of these!
