I love how DJ Ravine just can't stand still when music's playing.

Lol the guys face looking at Ravine transition at 4:30 😂😂😂

[Midaspl]

4:40 "I've just cleared the dancefloor, but I don't care." - literally me every time I'm djing XD

Am I the only person who thinks DJ Ravines transitions Sound better?

[TheRealSweedie]

While these tricks are useful, I can make this a lot easier for a lot of people. A very easy way is to change the tempo of a track during a build up. Since it pretty much sounds like the tempo is going up anyway it won't sound too weird if you're changing the tempo during it. Maybe an even easier way: there are a LOT of transition tracks available that go from one tempo to another seamlessly (most record pools have tons of them). If you can't find one you like, you can make one pretty easily yourself in a DAW, it's especially easy if you have two different remixes at two different tempos of the same song.

I miss DJ Ravine & Cotts... Good old days

[Sadiquecat]

I like the 1 and 4 with echo kinda stuff, but man the 5 with the filter play was smooth !

[adsmanuno]

4:28 brought a big smile to my face. Thank you for this
something i did - download Transition remixes of songs. like 128 bpm - 90bpm from house to hip hop - shit like that

This only works with EDM tracks, When you try to mix something like a Reggaeton with an EDM track that's where the difficulty is or with a Salsa or Bachata.

Cutting/scratching a track in is highly effective if executed properly when mixing different tempos. Also matching the harmonics, as well as energy, makes a big difference. Either way you'll need to do some serious pre-planning to pull this off seamlessly and successfully in a live setting

[PrismHeartOfficial]

I saw Ravine in the thumbnail and while I did honestly think he was standing next to Cotts I'm still happy to see him getting more attention as a long time fan :)

That Font Of Background Poster Looks Like Old Musical Freedom Style From 2013 & 2014

What‘s the video in the intro of this film? And outro too, A woman talking about DJ stuff.

[west-gaming-space]

Awesome techniques! But I hope you could breakdown to more details, like maybe annotate what buttons you are playing and stuff. (I don't have the same controller and I use Traktor so it's more difficult to follow).
Good job anyway! And thank you!

[infesticon]

One tip I would add is listen to the journeys by dj mix by coldcut wich does very good transition between lots of genres. Also helps a lot to know your records. But yea you can learn a lot listening to that mix.

[michaelcretu]

Awesome tricks n tips. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

[heikkila-visuals]

What about Mixing the Ambient (<60BPM) with Speedcore (2000BPM++)??

[enjoyenjoy]

On #5 using a pitch change will make it near flawless if you find the right key

[Erho]

[ianjohnson]

You should link to each one of the techniques, you numbered them for us. It's helpful when going back and reviewing the video. This is a dense video, thanks :)
