Skrillex's Call And Response DJ Technique

[@RinaldoJonathan]

I like how DJ Carlo almost always use controllers that are considered "cheap". So newbies don't say "they only do it because (artist's gear) was expensive".

[@djcarlo]

Indeed! I want all these amazing DJ techniques to be accessible to all 🥳

[@AjarAvicii]

⁠it’s a shame tho that the buildup effect that martin garrix uses live is only available on the controllers with a time knob (unless Carlo can come up with a good alternative)

[@Schizniit]

It's a musical concept called questions and answers and it is the core of the blues sound which eventually seeped its way into almost all contemporary music in the west

[@djcarlo]

I didn't know that! Thanks for sharing!

[@ashtah]

I don’t think its possible for it only be a concept of blues music in whatever time period your referencing. Call and response has always been used in music

[@avokado1386]

call and response existed way before blues!

[@Frosch1220]

@@ashtahin fact i believe its the basic of all communication

[@djbadhabits]

Oh that’s soo cool. Thanks Dj Carlo for breaking down all these pro performances. Big Up

[@djcarlo]

Happy to help! Glad you enjoyed this!

[@djbadhabits]

@@djcarlo Maybe you have a tutorial on “WORD PLAY”.. Or when you get a chance. Much thanks

[@djcarlo]

Thats extremely difficult as there are so many ways to do that! Even I don't have a method to developing word play. It just happens at times 😅

[@djbadhabits]

@@djcarlo Oo k k. Thank you. Appreciate

[@robertreed2824]

I didn't know there was conversations going on in my beats, good to learn lmao

[@djcarlo]

Music is a beautiful thing!

[@barneycruzv]

Currently, im learning how to dj because of your channel! Thank you for always providing this awesome content for people who wants to learn!

[@djcarlo]

That's awesome! Can't wait to see what kind of magic you bring to the table in the future 🥳

[@rob3433]

Very helpful thank you!

[@djcarlo]

Youre very welcome! Enjoy utilizing this little trick!

[@PacManShift6c]

Be good with looped phrases, like Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger for example you could re-arrange the words if you had each one cued. 👍

[@djcarlo]

Indeed! I've actually tried that before with that track. Threw a bunch of people off hahaha, it was fun!

[@PacManShift6c]

@djcarlo yeah same but nothing as elaborate as this but now im going to try it, cheers for the inspiration. 🤣🙌

[@Elizza2006]

Helloo, I love your videos, can you please, please show me how to play Hercules DJ Control Inpulse 500 and say something about it? Can you also say minuses and pluses of this product? Thank you very, very much. ❤

[@djcarlo]

I have a video from a couple years back about the Inpulse 500! Check out my full review of it! :)

[@Elizza2006]

@@djcarlo Already?? Okayy, thank youu :D

[@PolyCodeOfficial]

If I could, I would use only the acapella for the 'response' and then have only the track's instrumental and drums on the other one so that I only affect the vocal C&R and maintain the flow/background of the music. That's just my preference, though. Thanks again, DJ Carlo!

[@djcarlo]

Sounds like a fun style!

[@CypiXmusic]

Interesting. I've been doing this intuitively, but i never thought of it as an extension of the call and response concept, even though i know it

[@djcarlo]

Right?! It's something I also did intrinsically, but never knew the name of. So, after doing some research, ta da!

[@raydjo_]

antecedent and consequent vibes

[@djcarlo]

Very much!

[@Pheekofc]

Well explained!

[@djcarlo]

Thank you! Interesting technique, right?

[@humourbytanmay9203]

Hello DJ Carlo I want to start a professional DJ career by learning everything there is to offer but I don’t have a DJ set Pls recommend me softwares I can use on my Mac to learn basics and convince my parents to have a DJ set I want to do song remix mashups production and everything related

[@djcarlo]

Check out my tutorials, especially the basic ones. As for Software, I think only Rekordbox and VDJ can really work without controllers

[@humourbytanmay9203]

@@djcarlo Thanks man Also recommend the best Dj set for beginners that is like not super expensive

[@Sasi-ex5yn]

DJ Angelo does that on his 2011 scratching routine.

[@djcarlo]

Yup! It's a fairly widely used technique, but doesn't get enough recognition

[@hacking_life]

cool bro

[@djcarlo]

Thanks man!

[@25_Cats_in_a_Trenchcoat]

I haven't seen skrillex in years no way thats what he looks like woah

[@djcarlo]

He changed his entire look! Cut his hair, grew a beard; a makeover!

[@Im_Karl312]

Awesome

[@djcarlo]

Good to hear. :)

[@meharr.]

Carlo, what if i dont have stems in my system? I use a CDJ 3000!

[@djcarlo]

It's fine! Just make sure you go to town on the EQ

[@HA3APKO]

So I go from making music, to playing guitar, to making music, DJing, and playing guitar? *Help*

[@djcarlo]

You're just an all around musician! That's a good thing!

[@HA3APKO]

@@djcarlo I hope so

[@devashishpareek5642]

I do it already😂

[@djcarlo]

Then you've already got some skills on you bud!

Yup yup!

Dj Carlo are you a Messi or cr7 fan?? 😅

Skrillix with the goofy ah transition

[@djcarlo]

Sounds pretty cool to me! 🥳

[@jaystay1514]

Skrillex uses fake finger guns to look cool

[@djcarlo]

Sorry, but what do you mean by this? Haha

[@jaystay1514]

@@djcarlo *CORRECTED** He should have called his lastest Album Finger Guns

[@user-mx7js4uc4k]

I dont think you know what that means.. 😂

[@djcarlo]

Do explain more! That's how I saw it; maybe you have the proper technical terms for it

[@user-mx7js4uc4k]

@@djcarlo , call and response is a technique where one musician offers a phrase and a second player answers with a direct commentary or response to the offered phrase. So in this case or the example of skrillex its simply a "screw" since it lacks the "interaction" element.

[@djcarlo]

Ah thank you for that. I did get some inspiration from the musical technique, and thought I heard it applied to Skrillex's production in DJing

[@VIDEOMAZTER]

Thanks man. Mine is beat grid🫶🇵🇭

[@djcarlo]

Oh! What about the beat grid?

[@andreidragos6242]

You are the reason i bought a ddj 400 3 years ago. Still the best purchase of my life. I now play on cdj s but those ddj 400 days with you teaching was the thing that got me here Thank you 🫶

[@djcarlo]

That's one of my favorite controllers ever! Perfect bang for buck
