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

Holy crap. Lot more difficult then i expected

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!!!

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

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!

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

Tracklist: Afrojack & Laidback Luke - Move to The Sound Selecta - Turbo DBN - Mosquito Jack Wins - I Used To Love You Mark Villa - No Mercy Oliver Heldens - Melody The Trixx, Christy Million & Steven Maar - Working Hard ID - ID J3n5on - Disco's Revenge A Tigers Blood - Gorilla Groove Laidback Luke & Tujamo - S.A.X.

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 :)

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!

The struggle of running out of time when mixing xD

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

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

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)

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 👊🏽

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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!

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!

Great video as usual Luke!

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.

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!

Pretty interesting to see. I'm not a DJ, nor is this really my style of music, but I've been interested in understanding the idea behind DJing for a while. This was very enlightening.

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

"but but djing is easy"

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

Thank you laidbackluke!!! you are the real dj, not a dj ipad 🔥🔥🔥

the scratch at 4:30 (Y)

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!

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.

So I started djing a half year ago with my ddj-400 and man I am way far away from being as good as him he does so fuckin clean and smooth mixes so incredible

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

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

Just great! LBLs mixing style is so much different to most popular djs. To be honest, some transitions sound not 100% perfect, but that opens up so much more possibilities and adds way more excitement.

I'm a drummer and up until now i thought DJ'ing was foolishness. You have proven me wrong. It's almost like playing a musical instrument. Amazing stuff.

tracklist?

Tracklist? :)

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!

Never agreed to the statement button pushing or be labeled as a button pusher. I'd say people now a days are to boring to admit that live mixing is a next level thing. Love your work man! You've tackled a lot of areas here for next level mixing. And yes, please make a longer vid please. ha ha! Cheers!

Don't go in the red bro

name of the song @ 12:33 ?

Laidback Luke is love; Laidback Luke is life.

Its so cool that you share your DJ knowledge with us! The most big Dj's didn't do that!

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

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

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 exactly what I was looking for to help with my thought process. Thanks! There are so many wannabees flooding KZfaq with BS.

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

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!

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!

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!

Came here by HH. Not my typical music but still a nice track selection. It's great to see someone that's actually still mixing live and not just pressing play on a premixed set. I'm surprised you don't have more subs, i've subbed. Keep it up! Awesome mixing.

Great one! I can see the stress level on your head. No wonder why most DJ's on festival have premade sets.

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!

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

watching this alone has taught me more dj techniques than any tutorial on youtube

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.

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

Of course we need more movies like this one. Can't wait!

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.

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

Man, you're actually the only One DJ that can do this mixing stuff while playing live in front of a huge crowd. Respect!

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

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!

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!

please do more I'm a DJ and Atlantic City New Jersey and I am sad I had to miss you last week due to work but ever since I started spinning house music over Hip Hop you've always been one of the DJs I look up to most!

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

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.

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!

probably one of the best DJs I've seen mix live on video

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

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!

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

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!

Laidback Luke, you are beast; you inspired me to become a dj and I am still trying to learn. It's good to see how a professional dj thinks ands does what he loves the most, mix.

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!!!

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

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

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

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 !

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 !

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!

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

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

BIG Fan Mr. Luke, got to know of you from your hour long seminar on KZfaq, great job with that one by the way. And yes I would be Glad to see some more Tutorials from you, though I have to say that this one was a little to fast for me and to have you explain in voice what you are doing and going to do I believe could be a better way to go, I myself am an intermediate LVL Dj and I've been doing it only as a hobby for myself. I've watched quite a few Dj tutorials for some time until now and to have more teachings coming from a DJ Master like you would be a Great Opportunity for me and for others I'm sure. Cheers Cheers.

Thanks a lot for this video! It was really helpful to know the thought process that goes into DJing especially when you have to think on your feet. I have recently discovered your channel, and it's been a big inspiration and educational source for me. I also think that your sense of humor in the videos make it fun to watch. Thank you for your time and effort.

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