As a a freeform bass bedroom DJ, this was sooo informative. Watch-and-learn is the best format for me. Your transitions techniques with EQ, reverb, as well as jumping to the intro for a stripped-down phrase, were big takeaways for me.

Just the first transition blew my mind

[Giovanni-muzs]

That technique with adding mids and highs with echo on top of breakdown is absolutely geniuos! Love it!

[fuuuu]

Yo danny bro keep it up, need more mixes like this it really helps us djs that are learning

[DJRALIP]

I'm getting ready to record a mix for a radio station, and I was experiencing a creative block regarding mixing techniques. This video was a great help. It gave me some great ideas, and I learned new techniques. The biggest takeaways for me were: using EQs to introduce new tracks and the combination of effects, such as spiral + filter + EQs.

Thanks Danny and Crossfader team

THIS SET IS A MASTERPIECE !!! This is insane.

[daturae_art]

I can always learn something new from you guys and get inspired! Awesome mix!

[greatRing]

I honestly forgot about following the techniques and just loved listening to it, wow!!!

[vindejon]

Man love those cdjs and djm, hope one day lol. great mix, Big Up!

[shosh_techno_trax]

One more time. I’ve learnt something new today and a couple of interesting things I haven’t thought about doing. At 50+ I still find it fascinating and as enjoyable as I ever did. It’s amazing to watch a skilful DJ at work and creating something new, people suddenly realise it’s not just record changing. Keep it coming. I would love you to play my kind of techno. Would you be up for me sending you a track list?

[DmitryInNz]

Great lesson in mixing techniques (and sweet track selection). I wouldn't mix switch tracks this fast in a techno set at a club though, gotta let those tracks breathe. Understandable for YouTube short attention span though. Thanks for the lesson! ❤️

[YouriHL]

That Whebba track is absolutely amazing :D

[ybrfms]

nice watch! :D greetings from switzerland!

[TheRiceDude]

Amazing mix learned a lot from this thank you!

[mahdiesharifiuon]

Learning alot from this kind of videos of you guys, it would be nice to see mix some melodic techno musics as well

[billscott]

This is cool to see as a 35 year wax dj. I was going to the club in prague Ankali and watching these guys mix with the cdjs and it was hard to see the subtle moves like you show here with effects during pitch changes. My only issue with digital DJing now is looking at a list of files vs. a stack of records is brutally boring for some odd reason.

Super work, I really liked it, have you noticed that it makes a cut when you are working, maybe it is the internet signal, or some cable, it could also be the machine, when you can check, I was watching the tech house session and it also makes the cut when you play on the machine, I hope one day to learn how to make those good mixes like you do, greetings

[alonsosaravia]

Such a great piece of video. Guess who's gonna play all night long?

[DiegoBurgosH]

What an amazing set bro, keep it up 🔥🔥
