Been looking for dancehall DJ lessons everywhere. Just been winging it tbh so thanks!

[BLACKMUMBAable]

Great thanks bro I've literally just started mixing at the age of 34 and your vids have been informative and extremely helpful.. keep it up ..

[jackrabbid]

This was phenomenal bro. Eventhough I've been playing basshall for years now, my wordplay was never something I put much attention to. While I did sprinkle words here and there, you made me realize that acapella segments do go well in bridges or build ups. Thank you for your great insight. Keep up your fantastic work ✌🏻

Hello @Crossfader, I am a new dj and I play mostly afrobeat and carribean type of music. My issue is that most major dj record pools don't have a big catalog of afro carribean music. Where do you recommend that I look for this specific genre? Thank you.

I'm ready to dance, great video for any Yard Man who ah mix.

btw if a song is missing a acap intro you can create one on the fly with a beat loop
