This just shows that you don't need expensive gear to dj well!

Speaking as someone who got a DDJ400 a couple of months ago just to play around, the only thing about this set is I'm torn as to whether I am inspired or utterly depressed. Amazing stuff on modest equipment. It genuinely needs to be applauded.

I need to specifically comment on this video. So quick story. Was getting into djing in my late teens and into early 20s. After a couple incidents involving hard drive failures and loss of my music, after my house was broken into and my MacBook stolen along with drives, after equipment breaking and being low on funds, I stopped. Fast forward 13 years later, im 34, at a new low in my life without many interests and no direction. Randomly saw this video and saw that controller with only one cord... and most importantly saw you tearing it up and you made it look so fun. Ive never even heard of you at that point, yet you Inspired me to get a stand alone (I went with denon prime go). I'm regretting I stopped mixing all this time. Now fast forward a few weeks, I'm not feeling nearly so low, and I'm realizing I need some pro equipment which I ordered. You're incredibly inspirational in what you do and how you do it. Thanks buddy. You help people in ways you might not even have considered.

Epic, I just did my 1st beach set Yesterday...I just turned 54 and had a blast...Just doing some basics...Its NEVER to late...Lot of people loved it...May look at your class...Love this...

get yourself a higher table mate 😂😜

This just proves you don't need all the expensive kit to light the room on fire, you just need pure skill. This guy is a fucking God when it comes to DJing. Keep up the good work bro 🔥🙌🏻

3:20 ia one of the best mixes I have ever seen in my life for real. Its sooo good

I have bought my 6 year old son the DDJ400 for Christmas as all he ever watches is James Hype, M Zone, Mark EG. I don’t mind love all the banging tunes

I felt your back watching this Also the fact this guy doesn’t even need to make these types of vids but does to prove you don’t need this expensive ass gear to be good is top quality professionalism. Absolute shagger. Love him.

I know you arent supposed to compare your gear to another DJ but I always do. The fact that he kept his quality on that controller gave me a huge boost of confidence. Thanks for showing that complex mixes can happen on any controller!

I’ve been following James for a couple of years now on KZfaq and it’s easy to see that he has a pure talent in DJing and you can tell he’s loving every moment, I was so chuffed for him when I started hearing his tunes being played on radio 1 !!!! Keep up the good work James hype xx 😘

You are the best. I done a dj school 13 year aho, but i give up long time ago. What you are doing is pro level mind bloing.

Crazy just how much planning is involved in these mixes

im practising on the ddj-400 and this just blows me away

I've not heard anything as good as this since the legends of the 90's...Good to hear a new legend in the making..this is nothing short of Tuuune. So much energy...brilliant

This gave me chills, just hands down AMAZING

plot twist: he's a giant, using regular cdjs

I love listening, and watching James Hype mix. Back in the 90’s, I loved Bad Boy Bill because he was incorporating a lot of his scratching, and DMC DJ battle techniques into his sets, and then all of the creativeness just went out the window. Obviously DJ technology has changed things, but between all of the the old school DJ tricks that are available, mixed with today’s technology the sky is the limit. Unfortunately almost all DJs don’t want to go the extra mile to taking their DJ talent to the next level, but James Hype truly takes it to the next level. He’s also showing us all the new things that are possible in today’s world with all the great technology that’s available to us now these days.

proving time and time again.. REAL talent will overcome any obstacle. stay blessed and #stayhumble

I love your looping tricks

At least when I see you mash it up on CDJ's I can justify to myself that I can't mix as good as I'm just using DDJ800... this now makes me feel I need to work harder LOL. Great mix!

Professor at the controls💥💥 Gentlemen and ladies, hats off 👏

I have such a appreciation for James Hype. He is indeed a real DJ

Incredible. This is why I aspire to be. A master on any and every device. It’s not about the equipment. It’s about the MUSIC. If you got the rhythm, you can make it happen on anything.

I just bought a DDJ-400 and someone said that you can’t mix as good on one but apu James just proves they don’t know sh*t

That's got to be one of my favourite mixes you've done, you looked you were having just pure fun aswel!! Good times 👌👍👍

This is the antithesis of 'All the gear and no idea'. Superb.

Amazing to se a pro play on this deck, inspiering delux. More of this videos PLEASE !! This give the new generation of dj hope. You dont have to spend all money on the best, ther is good things sheeper to start With thats is great ❤ So good to se ! More of this for the cheeper older decks. Big SALUTE for this video. Greetings from Sweden to u all out there ❤

That’s awesomeness to the core! I really enjoy your content, very energetic plus pure skill thanks for giving me motivation to become the best of myself.

James Hype is the man. This mix is sick. If you are in the craft and a DJ then you can truly appreciate this. Great job James Hyp🔥🔥🔥🔥

Still one of my absolute favorite mixes. I always come back to it and just jam.

WOW amazing mix.. on the DDJ 400. Thanks for the video.

James you are one of my favourite DJs and to see you doing what you do best on a controller is skill. I love you DDJ tips course. Looking forward for more to come

You have been always my inspiration to mix creative mixes. If you were able to make this on a ddj400 then I think the only limit is ourselves.

I love everything about this video!! The location, the choice of music, the fact he is playing on an entry level controller and him diggin the music! Good times! Not jealous at all 😅

James Hype..amazing work

James looks like you're playing with a toy compared to the usual rig, but you still bang the tunes out! Proving it isn't the equipment that makes a good DJ. ;)

Sensacional!!!!! Um dos melhores sets que eu já assisti!!!! Quebrando numa DDJ 400. Demais!!!!

This was amazing!!!! I just got my son a Rev1 and seeing what you did here with the ddj400 blew my mind! 🤯

Super Sick, The 400 does most everything you need, I love it. Thanks for doing this!

Pure talent. Enjoyed the whole 12 minutes!🔥

Can’t believe how good that was on the controller lol DJ GOD HYPE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hell yea!! 😂 this makes me happy bc im currently playing clubs in LA and SF and I practice on a ddj-200

Tu buena energia no tiene límites, gracias por existir ❤

We want more DDJ 400 Jamessss!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

8:15 is where it all changes for me!!! UNREAL

brooo its one of the best mixes i have evere heard.. props to u

Masterlcass in acapella mashups and hot cues. Awesome!

I love how James has to hold the decks when he does the volume chops 😂😂

LMAO I love it brother the little baby decks and your managing around all the levels as always a flawless mix. EPIC!

Being a person that is literally installing virtual DJ and never ever mixed this inspired a lot of me, thanks a lot I hope someday i can make things as you

I love the energy on this mix! pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nice that you turn a beginner controller into like cdj mix almost .. using those samples like a God.. james your Killin it!! I see why this guy is considered the best in the world . Nobody does it like james hype !! Cheers mate!

So glad to see you rocking out on such a simple kit!!! Really inspiring!!!!

I’ve learned so much from this thank you

The best there is! Absolute madman on the decks

That set was better than other ones with “bigger equipements”

Doesn't matter what you put in front off this guy he will always get party started 100% proper DJ

great job. this is helping me on my journey

greets from Mexico! amazing talent!!

Damn, 12 minutes of pure talent🔥 wish he could teach me how to mix, this is pure feeling of the music🔥🔥

Can you imagine this set on a beautiful summer evening at Ushuaïa or Tomorrowland? Instant happiness and one BIG smile 😃🎉🚀

🥳🥰 I have the Ddj-400 and this is inspirational!

If you got the skills like James, then its not the gear that define what kind of DJ you are even if you're just af bedroom DJ you can create great transitions and awesome mashup's. That being said the DDJ-400 Controller is one of the best controllers on the marked, so a big thanks to you James for showing that you can great stuff on the small piece of equipment

This shows you 2 things: 1) with this cheap equip you can do wonders. 2) this guy's dj abilities are something else

You can dj with even less. This guy is a legit dj doing stuff more advanced than most club are capable of on professional house equipment.

I can certainly say that before the 45 nights (so low I know) that I 've worked as a DJ, I wouldn't be able to apriciate this. Certainly doing the job, makes you realize how perfect this was.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🥳🥳🥳🥳 another great set James love the mashups on the fly pure 🔥🔥🔥

Could you please do a ‘how to’ on this mix? I would like to know what songs and what effects you used so I could learn to do something like this myself. I have a ddj400 controller and I would LOVE to see you explain how you did some parts of this mix with just the ddj400. I’m sure A LOT of your fans would appreciate it too to see ‘behind the scenes’ and definitely with a popular beginner dj controller like the ddj400. Great awesome mix and we love you very much ❤️❤️❤️

Size doesn't matter! LFG!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wow. Mad skillz Mr Hype.

Wow perfect mix as usual 👌😁❤️👍

This is insane! 🔥💥 This must be way more difficult than DJing on his 4 CDJs. Because he's pretty much managed to pull off a 3 deck mashup mix with only 2 decks 😂 He literally had to echo out of some tracks so he could quickly load the next one 👌 I'd love to see you do a DDJ 1000 or XDJ XZ mix with the 4 deck dual layers!

I wonder how many people on the beach figured out who that was up on that balcony. Lol love it bro

Very impressive!, this guy is not only a DJ, he is a total compositor of unique sessions, omg

My friend have this console... Great mix❤❤❤

10:00 to 11:10 This whole sequence is sick.

02:45 - 04:45 Insomnia great mix 👌

i learned on the ddj 400 and those decks are incredible !!!! i recently just upgraded to the ddj 1000 i cant fkn wait

Uwielbiam cię słuchać i oglądać to co wyrabiasz z mikserem. Jesteś najlepszy!!!

has to be one of the best dj's out there to be able to do this

I'm more into underground music and usually wouldn't listen to this kinda thing, but this guy is actually a decent DJ.

James your the man, sick mix

One of the tuffest DJ's out there trust me! He's a killa!

Mixing on point as always, sick mix bro! I'd love to see one of your two hour sets on one of these, big fan here and much love to all :)

4 WORDS.... ONLY JAMES DOES THIS !! 💣🔥🔥🔥Making other experienced DJs look ordinary on the regular 🥇 Perth Hype Fam Oz 🌏🇦🇺

I have a DDJ 200, and i can tell, the experience is satisfying when you realise that u dont need expensive stuff to vibe around, just good music and some skills...the rest is just enjoy

This is mental... amazing

The bhest DJ world congrulations

Glad to see the fader survived the set 😂

This guy is just fire on the decks❤

This is a banging mix, I’m not this experimental mixing as I just mainly mix oldskool way but learning hot cues etc more recently and this video as taught me quite abit. Good work

Bang it 🔥🔥

Sick!

This is an amazing decks

Rediculous amount of talent that 👏🏻👏🏻

James Hype let's goooo！！🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

Only 12 minutes? and in the CDJ 2 hours jajaja, thanks for the demonstration, I hope you cheer up with a longer session on this controller.

That was cool to see all that!

nunca se trata do equipamento e sim do seu esforço para fazer acontecer. James Hype é um ícone em matéria de mixagens, inspirador para qquer dj...
