Being part of the Delta Heavy Tour with the amazing Sasha and Johnny (Digweed) and Jimmy Van M-shit my 20s in 2002 when they did their tour-taught me what really good music is-they are amazing men-djs are people also- Idris, yes as many have said, he is an amazing actor and love his movies -his show on Netflix should’ve gone on for years -but the amount of talent he brings to the world of us who have lived thru the era of real amazing house music-IDRIS-U ARE A GOD! I have replayed many of your sets over and over and over!! To be so talented in a variety of different fields-and still be humble -I bow down to u man! CHARLIE AYO!!!

[@squatrex59]

Seriously, this is my first comment on KZbin. I usually just listen for a minute and then click the next track. I am in minute 31 with no desire to leave. Idris has just been too good to scroll past. And he looks like he's having a blast.

Check out my new mix and lemme know what you think! soundcloud.com/ycfr/afterparty-mix-ii

[@m4rvinmartian]

@OneSilentGiant Lol, can confirm. He had a new set also, for everyone that missed it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5DXZ4Kme9xljMU

[@m4rvinmartian]

@@Yillionaire First track you dragged out too long. Transition to second wasn't natural. Candy shop should never be at that BPM. Transition to 4th track wasn't natural either. 4th to 5th was pretty good. 5th to 6th back to not natural again. So, in summary... you need a better mental repertoire of BPM material, need to choose your pairings better. You need to "add something" to the mixes, otherwise, this is just strung together songs. ie, you need to actually do some "DJ stuff" on the mix panels. And a 20 minute set is, 'just getting started', you need to be at 30 min at least. Look up Miss Monique. Watch the work she does on the mix panel. Also watch the Carl Cox video I posted above. Look at what he adds to the tracks played. Lastly... listen to 100 songs, write down the BPM YOU think they are at, then run them through a BPM detector and see how close you are.

@@davidfelix2594 : In my experience, all a Black person has to do to be called a racist, is to openly speak against racism. And also in my experience, the people flinging the accusation are invariably the actual racists. Am I close, dave (with the small 'd')?

Idris Elba is a legit dj with a stamp of certification. FDA approved and all.

[@dreddj]

As this isn't his bread and butter, gotta say, he held his own. Like the different style of music he has, it stands out, thus can be built on. I'm no DJ, but as a listener, maybe a few loose mixes, still way better than I could hope to achieve. Gwaan eeeen Idris, yuh large! 🔊🔊🔊
