DJ Tutorial. For the DJ who finds it hard to beat mix 

fish n chips, rice krispies, beans 'n' smarties. can I get the acapella of that. Please.

Was told by an old boy who'd been mixing since mid 70s If you can count 1,2,3 4. You can mix.. The only real hard part is splitting your brain in two. Then work out out which track is ahead .... or behind. Thats the real skill. Personally I'd advise beginers to start on E.D.M typical tracks of 127 bpm are easy to start off with.. A good one is have 2 copies of same track and start of together till one drifts then practice bringing the slow track back "in". Sadly many give up LONG before they "Get it". Its like driving one day it all drops into place.. Great work fella except for the Bernard Breslaw impression..👍👍👍👍👍👍

"I love all my kids. From the bottom of my heart". Right in the feels.

Hope you sorted things out with being able to see your kids, my parents divorced but I'm thankful my mum didn't start any of that shit with me, 10 years later & I'm doing fine! Your a great DJ and teacher man, watched too many of your vids & your literally my inspiration & guidance to get away from just letting my eyes & the computer program do the work, I've came on leaps & bounds thanks to you & it's been less than a week, so thanks bud & the best of luck! Also do you do any music production yourself or do you just DJ

I'm 16 and my parents got divorced when i was 4, i live with my mum but i can't imagine how bad my life would be if i didn't see my dad every saturday. the amount of things I've learnt from him and he's helped me with are uncountable. I wish you the best of luck with your kids, you deserve it and from the ammount you've taught me I can't begin to imagine how much they have to learn from you... all the best, Charlie

Fucking right you have the right to see your kids!

I love his passion for things and you can see how he cares for djing and is also bringing in his everyday life at the same time. I feel for him

Ellaskins, your videos have helped me heaps over the past year on learning to DJ. You are a true inspiration and you should be allowed to see your children, we can tell you care so much about them!

That Pryda track gave me chills. Thanks for the lesson! Also, I hope all is well with you and your children!!!!!

You are the best! Your vids got me up and going in no time after I bought my DDJ SR. Great and entertaining tutorials! Keep it up. Thanks!

As always a pleasure to learn from you, and dont worry about your kids,, they will find you in time even if they are being stopped at the moment..its just human nature to do so... I still remember your hospitality and warmth as a person when I came for a lesson many yrs ago.....the brown man :-)

That just made me smile, I have just handed my girls back after the weekend, and I have sat here In tears, we are only a year into being apart. My love to you. The awareness is so supported by me❤️

my mixes are starting to sound better and better, and you know what, it really feels like you enjoy teaching. And it makes me hold on to that knowledge even more and apply it to my mixes. We appreciate what you do mate. Honestly :)

First video I've ever commented on on the tube. Watched many of your vids, top bloke and great teacher. Keep fighting mate and never give up but I don't think I need to tell you that. Good luck mate. Dads get such a shit deal on times.

I remember watching your old video's like in 07 when I didn't have a dj set and had no experience. You have been my professor since then and now I have a set n mix at exclusive clubs in Hollywood. Thank you from the buttton of my heart, you have change my life and you are inspiration! God bless you!!

Hi, just stumbled upon your tutorials, excellent and so helpful. Thank you. If possible I would like to get a hold of the Adamski Killer remix but I can't find this remix in the vid. any chance you can be more specific on the remix. Thanks again.

thanks, you help me a lot! Keep going! from canada !

Fantastic video. I am seeing this quite later than the posting but I do hope you get to see you're children. Good luck bro.

Coolest guy on youtube. Thanks for making those videos and I hope you don't have problems seeing your kids, cause I'm sure you're also the coolest dad and they wanna see you too.

Your an inspiration to young people I'm only 18 never DJ but I'm learning ur amazing

if u own a dj school, im sure thousands and thousands of people would want to be your student.. you are really outstanding !

Awesome tracks, actually the first video where I've tried to find the tracks ;) Cool to see others using the spin + delay fx. I'm sure that I'm not the inventor, just haven't heard/seen used by other DJ's before. Also good luck with the petitions. I don't live in the UK, so I don't have a say, but I fully support your viewpoint.

"Fish and chips, rice kripies are smarties" . As love your huge sense of humor mate :--D

Pryda - Armed, what a wonderful track!

pryda-armed what a tune! cheers man!

i like how john sometimes has hidden messages in his videos thanks jonathan for all of your help I am a dj of fifteen years exp and still watch your vids for tips and tricks excellent work man cheers!!!!!

also it took me a while back in the day, since i wasn't taught, to figure out that beatless intros, such as that in the remix of Adamski's - killer, still had timing and it was up to the dj to count the beats when matching them with the previous song..It was much easier when you had a structured break to come out of , into a song like Killer...

really liked what you did with the echo and scratch together on this one.

passion man...nice one bro

lmao! Love it, keep it going man (mate)! I respect the notation on separated parents! I'm a single father, who most definitely felt the message. Mix on!

Hey, love your work mate!!

I still watch these videos since 2011

this ís perfect thanks !!!!!!!!!

U the man I'm supporting u with ur kids all, d way

"fish and chips, rice krispies beans and smarties" LOOOOOL had me creasing. what a legend!

I support you that kids have to see their parents anytime coz they are born from both of their parents....no one can stop ...i

THANK YOU BRO FOR THAT INFO FROM YOU I HOPE THERE MORE OF THEM

Buongiorno. I have a question? How long on average if that makes sense does it take before one is able with some practice to beat match or mix especially with old 70's disco . Like Kool and the Gang. Or like a Donna Summers . Im a 62 year old guy who works a lot with Virtual dj and use to house dj with vinyl but never really did the beat mix stuff and want to get that down or worked out ? Any help or suggestions ? Will be appreciated. Grazie. Oh im a bit of a real jazz snob . The Coltrane, Chet Baker ...... Miles Davis etc. But those may not be suitable for beat mixing ...lol.

Hey Jonathan, haven't seen your videos for quite a while. I hope you are okay, and you are still teaching people how to practice, and enjoy :). Btw - I see this newspaper on your cd player, hope you are in touch with your children. All the best for you. Even thou I'm not playing anymore due to lack of time, money and equipment, I always enjoy to watch your vid's :D Take care! TT

I'm hitting "like" simply because of the comment about children needing two parents. (And because this is a great vid!)

Man! Thanks for find the remix name of Adamski tune!

"Lickable Clinks," I lol'd.

Omg there's the djs who have it and there's the ones that's dont .. you win that trophy .. show us a updated mix I haven't watched you in about 10 year

haha the Gordon Ramsay of the DJ world. love it bro!

Please add your live mixers in at work.....pre lock down. Would love to hear them. Mix tapes please

Pryda ^^^^^^ Been using Pryda as transition between things for a bit now. Works very good between anything off the Platipus label and then stepping that up to something harder. Glad to see you have it on your video =) And definatly going to have to sample the start of Adamski... intro is dope! holla from midwest usa
