✅Ready to kickstart or elevate your DJ journey? ► philharrismusic.com/upgrade
Hey, Guys, In this weeks video I am going to talk about mixing between different BPMS with the 5 top BPM transitions.
One of the most common questions I get asked is how to move between different speed tracks when DJing.
I have decided to compile a list of my TOP 5 ways to mix between different tempo tunes when you are playing live.
I hope these ways help you and make you think about more creative ways to mix between tracks.

Phil Harris hello Phill, thanks for the video tutorial... i am a dj as well and I wanted to ask something.. in order for the sync to work properly on the tracks, do you have the quantize on? If so, to what specification, 1 beat, half, etc... sometimes i try syncing rock and hiphop but i noticed i have to set/manually adjust the grid for the rock tracks (specially old songs) because the grid sets them a little off... thanks

[@somehighlights2851]

I was a DJ for a loooooong time (like, 20 years, clubs and private functions) nobody EVER came to me and said "Wow, what a great transition you made between X song and Y song". If you don't make something TERRIBLY WRONG, people care only about songs selection. And, on the other hand, been on clubs and partys saying "this DJ sucks, that was aweful" and my friends were like "What are you talking about, this song is awesom".

Hi, I’m a lifelong musician turned part time DJ and I’m on KZbin watching different teachers… This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and I really appreciate your light-hearted and humorous approach… I’ve noticed that a lot of DJ teachers are more interested in looking smart than they are at effectively transferring knowledge… so thank you for doing the latter… 🙏🏼

[@u2good2go4sure]

I 1000% agreed with you that most others who are trying to teach you are also trying to show how smart they are or trying to show off.... and at the end of their videos, you don't understand what they were trying to show you. Phil keeps it simple and raw. Say it as you see it.... keep the crowd on the floor, take away all the technicalities

[@KaiserSaucy]

Good on you mate, I've been a DJ for twenty years & I clicked this vid thinking I MIGHT learn something but that it would probably be terrible - but you're great fun to watch, you don't take yourself too seriously, and you explain your techniques nice & clearly. DJs in general take themselves far, far too seriously. You don't, and what's more, I bet your gigs are tons of fun as a result. Keep it up 👏👏👏

[@elev11n]

[@jonnysolar5068]

[@EspenFrafalne]

Exactly!!! Some DJs are skilled, and play good music. Other skilled DJs just like to show off - and the music suffers as a consequence... I think DJ Yamato does a very good job in this video (even though im really more into house music): kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4WZhomln8SLd9U

[@crazynip]

absolutely true with the most people dont pay attention or care about transistions when theyre dancing. i was one of these people and i recently discovered your videos and how much skill there actually is into djing, its not just pressing play on songs and now i find myself falling in love with it and wanting to learn how to do it. now when im at clubs or festivals i find myself breaking down the songs and listening for how they mix ahaha

[@stedogue]

I did all this in my 20s but I was really shit at it and just train crashed every track into the next track, now I'm a lot older and I've just bought myself a controller and I think you have just taught me a lot in 19 minutes, you are straight to the point keep up the good work👍👍

[@angeld7689]

54 here and just got a rev 1 lol never too old 😂

[@kevincerce5056]

At times and when I know the crowd after a few sets, what I do is have a little fun with the crowd by quickly mixing in a popular movie or TV soundtrack where the BMP is taken away from the equation. For example Robin Williams's "Good Morning Vietnam" Bang, right into an upbeat song, for example, like - Journey's "Anyway you want it". It works because everyone knows all these popular Movie and TV song themes. Try it, you'll like it especially when you know when you can get away with it.

Love watching your videos mate. You have a great way of explaining stuff. I'd like to share 1 tip for back-spins, (I think you called it whipback) is to drop the gain or the fade level as you rip it back - or it will sound too screechy, really loud and hi-pitch.

[@bloepje]

As someone enjoying a party, I would love the DJ to hit that sync button, if that's what it takes him to select the next songs. Just simple transitioning over to the next song is not a thing I like, a good DJ changes the song a bit, playing with the transitions, maybe add some other songs in the distance to confuse my song memory, and maybe chops it up. But I really don't care if he uses sync or not. And that's where you hit the most important spot: the crowd doesn't care, just don't interrupt the flow.

Since I was 17 I’ve been a dj, and I still can’t mix and all the other flash stuff that professional djs do... I play music that I think the crowd will like and that normally does the trick.. The black man don’t even get the credit for starting the whole house music scene off in the first place, you get all those hyped up wankers on capital radio and radio 1 thinking they are the dogs bollocks but they don’t want to recognise who started it..
