Thanks man

[@kaynaktolga_]

Are these only available at beatport ? Beatsoure link has not that much techno I think. Do you think I can find these songs there?

[@spacedate3991]

@@kaynaktolga_ I was able to buy them all on apple music. For some reason with this type of Dance music they have their shit together... Try find decent Techno or Acid on there though... no chance x

[@nunyabeesnuss3622]

Damn man that transition at 20:00 took me to another place, thank you. This is why we do what we do

[@whostroubled]

Honestly man ur such a cool guy hahaha shoutout from London uk legit been a bedroom DJ about 5 months now and I’m solid confident in what I know so far and continue to grow from videos and especially yours bro serious shit I love how you always smile and seem so excited to talk hahaha 👏🏼

[@adamc8416]

Did the club ready course, and some extra advanced one-on-one's with Andrew a few years back. This dude is as energetic and passionate as he comes across on camera. Love to see he is getting the success and praise he deserves. Good on ya Andrew!

[@adamc8416]

ALSO: I felt I should add that if anyone is unsure about jumping onboard with Andrew , my advice is to DO IT. Andrew & his course are of the highest quality, and his teaching style instills the same passion that he displays on camera. I was so enraptured with DJing & music after the club ready course that I actually went and got a diploma in music production! Cannot recommend Andrew & his course enough.

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

Legend! thank you so so much Adam

[@chadbrochill1764]

I can definitely understand how many people can find melodic house and techno boring, but to me, they are the most interesting. They allow themselves to beat let your mind wander and completely disconnect. It does take an experienced taste, though. I’ve never met someone who is new to electronic music be interested in techno, melodic house, or classic prog.

[@djragnar407]

Your positivity is always infectious!

[@tobydulanski9480]

Crafting a play list takes time and planning, get a bit familiar, thinking of the event helps create a flow of energy and vibe. It takes time and patience. Always a pleasure to watch your videos Happy 2021👍

[@saevus9143]

You’ve made me such a better dj and this set is so beautiful and fun thank you for everything you do for the community. You are amazing brother 🤟🏼

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

You are so welcome!

[@RaquelFoster]

I think the reason I like playing melodic stuff is because I can get into the vibe when I'm just practicing. When I'm at a club with 300+ people and probably 100 of them rolling, house is the best thing in the world. But when I'm just trying to practice, sometimes those repetitive house hooks that set the club on fire just seem annoying. Maybe I could start a halfway house where I let people do drugs in my living room but they have to listen to me DJ. Then I could make a better house set! I mean, seriously, though ... everybody loves house, and I've had people tell me my sets are "old school" like I'm not playing what kids like these days. The best raves I've been to in the past 6 months have been Claptone, Carl Craig, Seth Troxler, and Cosmic Gate ... and I guess Cosmic Gate was the craziest scene I've ever been to (and it was a Thursday), but that was full of 40+ year olds that were partying like their life depended on it ... but in general it's the house raves that are the best time. I just can't put together a house set that I really like the feel of because I can't get into it at home in my living room.

[@nielsingelbrecht5048]

Strange thing, my aspiration was to become a techno DJ and now I got hooked on that house shizzle, haha lol.

[@grahamwadsworth9431]

I’ve only just saw this today. Absolutely love this. Just pure class. Love the set up.

[@baileydavid9768]

It takes time!! You have to be patience! Feel the flow of your track selection! Feel the movement of the music!! Once you do this you will be just fine! Don't give up!!

[@swisherrelic2796]

I’m October I had an accident at work that made me and I forgot how to do a few thing but with the power of your channel and multiple others I relearned how to dj just in time for my first ever New Years gig and now I’m learning so much so thank you for helping me bring back what I love so much and making me be able to re chase my dream

[@trilldauterive215]

ohhh man when rabbit hole hit. thank you for your tips! too much procrastination from lockdown til now. time to get serious. thank you again!!

[@maximr1113]

Right here at 13:48 I started smiling and you just looked back at me right in my eyes, smiled back and even winked hahahahahah amazing

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

Kin - we're in sync ;)

[@caelenfeeney8946]

Every single one of your videos has been incredibly helpful for me, they have really helped me find my groove as a new DJ. Thank you so much Andrew 🙌🏼

[@djrobbtee]

Was just creating a mix of this today! How crazy

[@DJDave_K]

dude, you gave me a lot, especially in this video.. it can be seen that you have experience in teaching people to be a DJ with feelings

[@NURDVEVO]

i could never really vibe with mainstream/very normal club music. i always loved the slower genres, and for me, prog, afro, MH&T, all just resonate with me, even on the darker ends of those genres. it's an absolute vibe, and i love that about it. sure, not everyone will like it, but if you give it a chance, it can surprise you.

[@daz1000]

Just been through this again. Got to say what an awesome track selection - how on earth did you select such bangers. Well done!!

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

Haha trial and error and a little bit of intuition and experience no doubt!

[@JeremyDahl]

I love melodic house and techno but it takes more of an emotional investment from the crowd and a level of sophistication. It is great for a break in energy during the night when the crowd has reached the "zone" and the energy can be taken in any direction from it.

[@djvarangian]

That's a really good point - quite often Deep, Progressive Dance Music is best received by actual House & Techno fans & other DJ'S, at least moreso than a random person on the street. Interesting that you find it useful for "Peak Time" - I agree, upon reflection, despite in the past using the more mellow, melodic material at the start & end of my sets with Hard House & driving TechHouse accented with Electro Pop & Mainstage tracks forming the body of the "peak energy" part of my sets.

[@benhurj]

Could you please elaborate more on what the "zone" is?

[@carloscruzmusiq835]

Your such a beautiful soul, so inspiring to watch. Made me rekindle my passion for music and djing.

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

I am so sorry, it seems 1 minute / 1 transition of this mix was chopped out at 39.07 - it must have been because I was planning to do a commercial track mash up on the fly. Anyway, hope you can see past this and still have some fun :) :) Thanks again for all your support!

[@hoojchoons2258]

Some nice use of the mixer effects in there ;)

[@dannyfranks4471]

Question for you, saw you were using some cue points on tracks, with melodic are you setting cue points 24 bars instead of 16? Or? Thanks and love the channel!

[@colinenright8879]

Doesn’t detract from your mix mate. Listened again today. Great stuff. Learned tons from it

[@TriplicateTrey]

Respect for you and your channel increased hundred fold. You took me on an emotional journey with you. Thank you for that so much. Red tape by Forsby is such an intensely beautiful song.

[@DarlesFlow]

i was downloading music for my upcoming gig, and the first track that i download was from Fabrication - Dustpig, and then i started to work something in the studio and your video pop up. So i am listening watching , learning from you, and you start the set with the same track. Now.... Thats called universal connection! Love your channel, love your videos always learning from you. Love your positive approach and uplifting energy that you share thru your videos. Thanks a lot for what you do And yes offcourse SUBSCRIBED :)

This is my new fav dj set. Dude you inspire me to finally start djing

They are so fun dude u will love, Andrews course is sick too

[@el-Djemba]

Great video as always! Thanks Andrew.

[@ankocooks]

Loved the vibe of your set! Really amazing and fluid. I need kind of 2 hours to get into the mood to start getting into harder techno haha, I love progression too. My way of playing is always going up on BPMs and depends for who im playing.

[@pyr0t1ca]

Also, Andrew, I am greatly looking forward to your course. I have purchased it but waiting until life isn't quite so busy before diving in, right now just working on some track acquisition and prep but can't wait to go through the course

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

Awesome, thank you!

That is an incredibly smooth set, I drifted off to another place.

[@daz1000]

I have said it before and I will say it again - that was absolutely wicked bro. I have just watched this again and carefully examined your blending and mixing between such an excellent choice of tunes. Seriously well done - properly brings a smile to my face. The way you blended Rabbit Hole to Best of Me was first class. Also Koi to Midnight - top drawer. Thanks again. Keep it up.

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

Much appreciated :)

[@patrickhonedj]

Sometimes I really struggle to define between this genre and Progressive House. Great set.

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

Me too! I would have no idea but go on what beatport says lol!

[@ileolai]

progressive house uses chord progressions with a resolution, melodic trance generally sticks to 1 or 2 chords

[@Cheeseman72.]

Great advice 👌...Using Andrews course I’ve been able to journey from learning how to prepare a set to having that knowledge about music structure to have more confidence to play on the fly 👍

Nicely played Andrew. Like very much to do loops on the go, without hotcues. Sometimes is amazing the incredible grooves you can get from various melodies looping. But I never get to do it exactly the same again. Pure One -Off. Best regards from the frosted Europe.
