What dj trick/skill do you admire the most

[gumpy green]

and got any good audio examples of it.

some preffer long smooth mixes, other loads of skracthing...

i personally luv it all and like to see a good variation throughout the mix....but i really luv it when someone gets really technical on the tables.

right now my fave tricks are using delay on on record and kutting in samples on the other table.
and
looping vocals on the kp2 and mixin in tracks.

anybody got any cool tricks up ther sleve

[anx]

when both tracks are in the mix....take one record and pull it back enough to make the beats going inbetween eachother which makes a "double time" effect, the exact same effect as pushing the delay effect with the parameters on 200, only this is the manual way to do it, and you dont get that echoing effect that is on the pioneer 600...

then take the other record and do the same and they back to being beatmatched.

go back and forth so you are juggeling your tracks from double time to straight beat, making little "fills"...when they are like this you can do some cool things when you cut with the cross fader or volume sliders....

took like a year for me to get that down to a science but now i can do it in my sleep....i decided to teach myself that after listening to a cristian varela mix...he does it all the time.

although it is really risky, if you **** it up then you run into a major train wreck

the coolest is if you have 3 decks, make 2 of the tracks go double time and it creates a drum roll effect, do it when the 3rd track is in a break down and kick out the track thats on the half beat right before the main track kicks in.

i totally get down when dj pulls the trick when u choose a card and only usee it but he pulls that very same card from the deck.

yeh been messin with that one alot too.....altho i usually dont take the other record and do the same so ther back to being beatmatched.

usually just fuk about with the faders and fx b4 taking the off beat one out.

when a DJ is desperate for the loo halfway thru a set & legs it to the toilets & then returns to bring in the next track without any faults whatsoever :lol:

turnatbilists - watch scratch - and just admire

[disco diva]

Definately two tunes in the mix, a bit of scratching is good although I find some go into over kill, but the best tricks IMO are performed by MR EG himself, smashing tunes or emptying ash trays over the head really go down well :lol: :lol: :love:

[fitipaldi]

Transformin is always good especially dave clarke's

[maily]

a bit of beat juggling and cutting with two copies of the same record, can sound cool as ****.

[Esox Lucius]

lots of beat juggling, scratching and shit, not just seamless boring mixes.

ben sims
chris finke
dj bone

3 dj's who know how to work the turntables.

[The Overfiend]

how about good programming, when a set flows from beginning to end in energy

[anx]

^^ yea when it all comes down to it that is the most important thing

you could be mix master mike with techno but if you cant program a set properly then you really should slow down on the tricks and focus on your crowd more

[eyes without a face]

yes, some of the best tricks are those people dont even know are taking place, or those that people take for granted

[sash]

those huge ass buld ups dave clarke does where everythings delaying and shit

[MangaFish]

yes, some of the best tricks are those people dont even know are taking place, or those that people take for granted

i totally agree with you

[gunjack]

good music and no train wrecks.
