What is with mixing/DJ'ing..I don't get it. - 29-04-2008, 21:26
Im not clued up at all regarding Dance music and it's subgenres.

Im not having a go at this type of music (it's ok Stripey).

I dont really understand what guys like Pete Tong actually do apart from stand there and play records.

I watched that guy Mark Ronson and all he seemed to do was push a few switches every 30 seconds or so. The rest of the time he was smoking and not really doing anything.

Please enlighten.

'Scratch' is a good film and should cover that side of it, as for uptempo dance music, there is one record that might be, say 130 bpm, and the DJ wants to mix it with one at 133 bpm, so that they can be 'mixed', then the DJ adjusts the speed of the record he will be bringing in, to match that of the one playing, he does this with a combination of the 'ear' and 'skill', if done properly there should result a transition from one record to another consisting of a bit when both records are playing. Goddammnit, look it up- beat matching- on YouTube or something.
