yawn.................another day, another yahoo with a pointless video of himself playing some records. If you don't have any imagination or next level skill to put on a real dj performance then there is no need to make a video. Watching a damn record spin around followed by a fadeout or cold end start up is hella boring.
I don't get it - where is the actual mixing/blending occurring? What do you need a mixer for if you're just transitioning one song to the next like a radio station?!
As much as storms are cool, this was super dangerous. I was at a public event and the lights turned on and off in some parts of the building, while bins were thrown in the air, pipes exploded, and a tiny bit of the roof lifted. Super strong storm.
Algunos detalles. A cuidar los cambios de velocidad, que no sean tan abruptos. Y el golpe del tema que entra sobre el golpe del tema que sale, luego el corte del fader. En todo caso la música Disco de los 70's es difícil de mezclar por sus irregulatidades en sus compaces sobre todo en los comienzos (grabaciones análogas) Por ejemplo el inicio de In the Navy. Me gustó la selección de temas. Verdaderos "Clásicos del Disco" 👍👍🇨🇱
Belt drive turntables were superior for mixing 70's disco because you could lightly and slightly put your finger on the record and in a circular counterclockwise motion, slow down or speedup the tempo to easily keep one record in sync with the other when mixing, which was a nightmare to do with any direct drive turntable. The reason for this was because with direct drive you are dealing with the actual motor that wants to keep an accurate tempo on the record, something that 70's dance music, disco, did not have. That was because almost all of those records were recorded using live drummers so their tempo was never the same and the musicians performed to what the drummer was playing. Using belt drive turntables allowed the flexibility to easily perform mixing disco [only if you really knew your records, some records you can actually hear them slowdown and speedup] because your were not fighting a direct drive motor since the belt would allow for minute tempo control. You just needed a very light touch on your counterclockwise movements. Belt drive turntables were superior because drum machines that can keep an accurate tempo were rare and expensive and were not used in almost every disco song ever produced. Direct drive turntables are superior for maintaining an accurate tempo because drum machines maintain an accurate tempo. If you have 2 copies of any disco record and 2 turntables start one record, wait about 30 seconds and then start the other on the beat, making sure that they are locked then don't touch them and let them play. You will notice that they go out of sync. Now do the same with any tekno or house record and they will play to the end in sync, especially if you are using direct drive turntables.
@adamstrange5000 you sound silly and ridiculous. The whole thing about house records staying in sync on a direct drive throughout a whole record is probably one of the most asinine things I've ever heard, you must NOT be a real dj. Belt drive turntables............gimme a break. Once the sl 1200 hit, no damn person in the world wanted a belt drive. There is a reason DINOSAURS are extinct. FAILURE TO ADAPT.
Takes Me right back to doing the Clubs In the 70's, This Is how we did It, We knew nothing about Mixing records, till I got sent a copy (Still Have It) of Gloria Gaynors LP. the whole of the B-Side was all Mixed together. We were like WOW! how did they do this?. All we had then were Bouncy Garrard LP35's belt drive decks with Shure Carts In. This was why those Stars On 45 records came about, so We could do a Mix, cause the Beats and the Tempo was the same on all the records. Then a revolution came along and saved us all, The Technics SL1200, and history was made. So don't Dissor Boo-Hoo how He Is doing It Here, Cause If You were not there, then You don't know. Thanks for the Memories. Keep doing what You're Doing.

Nice set! I like your transitions, very smooth. I’m currently playing digital versions of these tracks and attempting to beat match which is proving difficult but effective. You can’t beat a smooth cut though, good work.
Beatmatching classic disco is definitely challenging. Since in 99% of cases, you're dealing with a live drummer instead of a drum machine, the bpm's will drift up and down. An alternative is to record classic disco to your pc/mac and using a program like Ableton Live to "warp" beats, in other words to snap beats to where they should be. Advantages: makes it much easer to mix. Disadvantages: makes it sound more "mechanical".
I realize that definitely Vinyl Record is one of the few products that, whether they like it or not, the big producers and technology companies had to swallow. No other format was able to kill him definitely. The emotional appeal of the public will never let this format die out. Are more alive than ever! It's exciting when you're on the dance floor, and the music you like is performed by the DJ. I love this music. It brings back of a time that will never return and that will forever be in our hearts! :D :D S2
I remember when cd first came out, and some said (media etc), "music will die if digital becomes norm", listening to this excellent vynil mix (even though it's reproduced digitally on my tablet) their prediction has come through, I FEEL the music which I don't on my Thousands of pounds cd hi-fi system! Thank you, I love 70s disco!
OK OK than me, you prefer vynilsl but you must working choices to mix records like that ... GET UP AND BOOGGIE 12" and LADY PUMP 12" directly beginning with drum after a cue of get up and boogie OR YAZOO Situation and D-TRAIN ONE … ok you understand. Good cutting is better than a bad beat matching. Olivier.
Olivier Delcourt I think your comment is constructive criticism and I thank you for that. My technique is definitely lacking but hopefully with practice, I shall get better. Your comment is appreciated
This Is how I, and many other DJ's of the 70's did It. We didn't have the luxury of Technics TT. It was Garrard Belt drive LP35's fitted with a Shure cart. These decks bounced all over the place when You touch them. You should look up, Elliskins explanation on how bad these decks were Here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8XYrw6tABHA.html And these were the decks that were fitted In the Clubs of the day. If You were not there You don't know.
