I think one reason why so many DJs have a problem with him is because his performance is fake but gets millions of views every time. Obviously massive respect for the mashups! But it creates this unnormal high standard that other "normal" DJs can't reach by just mixing.

Honestly.. i gravitated to djing because the pads on my the controllers look like and function similarly to the pads on my beat making equip. With beat making equip, you got sound edits, which is basically serato flip, then there's sampling, cueing, recording and fx. You have 4 decks and 32 samples.. which equate to tracks on a beat machine... Those mashups can be performed live with preparation...

[@djcarlo]

I'm glad you learned how to DJ from the channel Jay! And the intention here is mostly to showcase that what he's doing here *CAN* be done live! Given that a lot of people have actually been DMing me to break this one down after Eskei's little rant hahaha. Feel how you wanna feel bud! I'll just say that Sickick has sick production skills, and the tracks themselves showcase that talent of his!

[@dharuacharya]

I'm a dj myself and I recently saw sickick perform live at a club. I was so disappointed. He wasn't even a good dj (even tho I believe it was a pre recorded track and all he was doing was adding unnecessary effects very dramatically) and then he was clearly faking the actual tappin of the pads as nothing changed in the track as he did that. Needless to say, I left within half an hour because I had that Milli Vanilli feeling. Carlo Atendido, mad respect to you and your skill set. You never cease to amaze me with your talent, knowledge and killer live sets. Keep up the great work my friend.

[@djcarlo]

Dang, at least you got to see him perform live! We haven't had much of that here recently. But thanks for the kind words bud!

[@djfuzzofficial]

Great vid! What Sickick does is the hard part - the imagination to create the mashup in his head and the preparation. The execution is not that hard, I struggle to think why he doesn't just do it live???!!

same here! He's such a dope producer already!

[@ceelobrown27]

It's because he can't do it live. I do enjoy watching DJ Carlo Atendido make it look so simplistic.

Sickick is using the sampler pad mode whenever he preform his mashups. It’s one of many ways any dj can perform their music or playlist. Plus a dj mixer with the dj software is a powerful setup for anyone who wants to do live music. Sickick is a singer and producer and never claimed to be a dj. Great video though, I’ve learned a lot from your videos.

[@djcarlo]

Yeah, haha, a lot of people asked me to break down his routine, and a lot more are labelling him as a DJ, but we all know he's a sick(ick) producer with amazing mashups. I'm glad you enjoy the videos too Mike!

“Producer” or editor? Making mashups doesn’t count as producing.. cmon now

[@underratedreplyguy]

Carlo you're obviously a super talented guy and maybe one of the best at your style. Do you have *any* videos showing the more, let's say, "traditional" smooth transitions? It can be super frustrating in every video when you make it sound like quick mixing, drops, samples, loops, etc are the *only* ways to DJ. If you or someone else could point out where your videos are with long, smooth transitions and letting the songs play more of their full nature, I'd really want to check those out. Thanks!

[@iancowley_DJ]

Just imagine if a guitarist made the sickest solo, but didn't have the skill to play it live. Then went and prerecorded every note one by one, spliced it all together, then played the solo at a concert as if it was live. Nobody in the industry would accept that, the fans wouldn't accept that. There has to be a line drawn somewhere. It's either a mashup you release as a mashup or a live performance. You can either do it live or not, and if you can't then don't fake it. I don't understand why so much fakery is allowed in the DJ/EDM scene today. It makes everything a complete joke. Djing isn't a joke to me when I see people like Jazzy Jeff, Grandmaster Flash, Craze, Qbert, Carlo Atendido. Stuff like this makes a mockery of their hard work, skill, and all the routines that took hours, days, years to pull off. It makes it all a big joke. If I play guitar hero on medium settings I don't expect to be applauded as if I was Jimi Hendrix.

[@djcarlo]

Amen brother! The routine is super simply as it is! I hope he tries better and sets a better example for DJs out there! Totally get your opinion ☺️

[@TwoLeftSh0es]

@@djcarlo As far as the YT video goes I don't really see a problem, it's just meant to be a visual acompanyment to the track and almost all music videos are mimed. If he's doing that live at club and festival performances then he should really put in the practice to do a genuine live performance.

[@nunya937]

Well let's see hear.... What happens when they catch artist lipsyncing their music and not actually sing it at a concert!?! They get criticized deeply for it by their fan base when they feel cheated. So why is it so bad to call out someone portraying a skill that they don't seem to truly have. As far as we know he could be mashing up other Djs work previously recorded since he clearly cant do it live. We wouldn't know!

[@iancowley_DJ]

@@nunya937 Milli Vanilli. Their songs were recorded by somebody else, they lost their Grammy's, reputation, career. Nobody should be on stage miming to other people's work. Singers sometimes mime their own stuff, but there could be a million reason behind that, like the dancing is too rigorous they can't do both. They have damaged their voice. Those reasons are ok. Or they just can't pull off what they do in the studio on stage. That's a bit of cheat. But it's still them. Worse is making a set in Ableton, then miming it on stage. DJs should not mime, full stop.

[@iancowley_DJ]

@@TwoLeftSh0es But it's not his music. It's not a music video for a song. He is showcasing what he can do live on the controller, and the "mashup" he created using a controller. Let's not sugar coat it. If it was a music video for his mashup make have him sat in front of the computer vibing out. Djs like Carlo work their butts off to get to the level he is miming at, then somebody comes along taking the glory pretending they are on the same level.

Hey DJ Carlo, I’m a relatively new DJ so as soon as I saw this I felt like it was within my capabilities to do and started to recreate it. I’m having a little trouble tho from the get go as I noticed in your video, your measures line up perfectly (first red bar on top of first red bar) mine don’t..and I’m curious as to why. I’m also using rekordbox, with the FLX6 controller

[@bananaman3454]

My BPM doesn’t match either and the acapella doesn’t sound like it’s bpm synced. Aca’s at 102 and instrumental is at 128

[@djcarlo]

The BPM analyzation of the acapella is probably off due to a lack of beats. Trust your ears there. Also, Rekordbox has a tendency not to line them up perfectly; that can be fixed with the beat grid in the settings. :)

[@kennethmalafy503]

If (and that's a big If) he made the mash up himself, I don't really have a problem with this. I don't think he is really trying to convince anyone it is real, it is very obviously fake. He is selling a "show." He has a costume on, he is putting on a performance and playing his mash up. It is for entertainment purposes. You guys don't really think the magician sawed that lady in half either (do you?). You need a video to promote your mix, he just did this fake performance/ costume thing instead of putting a still picture. Did he ever even claim he was actually performing in the video?

[@djcarlo]

I'm super sure he made the mash up himself, and I'm positively sure he really did the video to put on a show and create content. I just really wanted to see though if what he did in the video was doable live, and it totally was! For everything else, you've got an absolute point Kenneth; it's all marketing and exposure!

[@DiSC0RDUK]

He doesn't make the mashups himself he was part of an Indian boyband that worked with production teams and this is just the next stage of evolution of their business strategy. His whole brand/strategy/image is fully manufactured and deliberately deceptive and disingenuous.

[@apexpredator_jku]

If you watch his older stuff on KZbin, he's done a lot of his performances live but ironically it took him to fake it to go viral. He's capable of doing it live but they wouldn't be able to produce & edit his video clips the way they do if he performed it live. I'm not saying to give him a pass but he's prioritized the visual aspect over performing live which obviously worked out in his favor because he's getting tons of bookings. Question is whether he's going to fake it once he plays the venues he's getting booked for. If so, then we have a problem.

[@Kankrete_beats]

Trying to tell ya!! He uses Ableton push & a pioneer s11 both units can be midi mapped however U want them to be & you’ll be able to get stupid busy within Ableton & Serato @ the same time. Both programs work well together. The level of difficulty is very high but, coming out of Covid (pause) creative Djs/will get the money.

[@djcarlo]

I've actually seen some DJs work Ableton and Serato at the same time, but I'm not well versed enough in Ableton to really work it while DJing. Thanks for the info!

Please i have been looking for the extension cable james hype is using over a month , can anyone help ?? I want the exact same cable he uses , anyone knows the brand?

Unfortunately, I can't tell what they are either. Sorry!

[@Theboomgod260]

Can you do a mix breakdown of James Hype The video is called the crowd didn’t expect this.

[@djcarlo]

Let me try to check it! It's been a while since the James Hype breakdown. From what I can tell though, it's similar to the Zedd breakdown

[@weslycosta348]

plz make a video on virtual dj software

[@djcarlo]

We'll see about that!

[@frankorandle]

The true test of a real DJ is to take away the samples, loops and auto sync and then see what happens. Put the same DJ on a pair of 1200's with vinyl, on a controller with just CD's and no waveform or on a controller with MP3's and no frills and then listen to what they can't do. In the 80's we were trained by those that came before us. The ethics of the booth back then are not taught today. Today most don't even know the true reason for the title of DJ. The more you can do by using less "Faking it" only comes through always practicing as much as possible.

[@djcarlo]

I do love the dedication to the purest aspects of the art, and I agree that true DJs won't have a problem if you take away the wave forms. In the end though, a true DJ also knows how to show the crowd a good time, and practice is always the key to making that happen.

[@EllwinNSF]

I had a feeling Carlo was going to kill this one… 🔥

[@djcarlo]

Bwahaha, you must be a psychic man! Predicting my videos and breakdowns

[@ka3minemil]

bro you broke my heart, I believed in this guy :( but still, he have delirious mashups ! :D

[@djcarlo]

He's a fantastic producer, ill give him that!

[@divyanshsharma2809]

The real controversy is that he prepares his tracks very smartly and tricks the usually audiences with just showcasing his cue playing techniques. But the real experienced person can really identify in seconds of his video. But you really have to be real in front of your audience facking is Never really a good option. ✌️

[@djcarlo]

Absolutely! But you have to admit, his tracks are very well produced. The marketing of it as "live" is what irks people.

[@thozimusic]

Complaining about Sickick is like complaining that Adele is only lip-syncing on her music videos and not actually singing

[@djcarlo]

Okay, fair enough. I'll have to admit his productions are pretty dang good, especially that one he did with Madonna's Frozen. I just wanted to see if what he was doing in this particular video was possible to do live, and it was!

[@ivanelizalde9997]

Anyone know the outro song?

[@DJareen07]

Not bad this one 🤣👏🏼

[@djcarlo]

glad you enjoyed this one Kumar!

[@bjccounter5810]

It was a dead giveaway way where the cross fader is all the way to his left side but have both volume fader up. 😆

[@djcarlo]

Well, the crossfader can be turned off, but everything else about the hardware was pretty sketchy haha

[@D3NVR07]

Trying to learn how to do this but the tracks are loading in at 2 different BPMs, 102 and 128. Anyone have a fix?

[@djcarlo]

Use your ear for the one at 102, especially if it's an acapella. Or just manually adjust the beat, so it's easier for you in the future :)

Thanks man from Maroc! Hope all is well with you :)

Dj Carlo uploads video: Comment bots start spamming 😂

[@djcarlo]

They're not all bots lol

[@ryanstewart1151]

This might be a silly question. But are there any free dj record pools?

[@djcarlo]

For now, no, not really. Soundcloud would be the *closest* thing to one, but you've still gotta pay for other stuff there

[@hahnermusic]

This is awesome bro! Good work! I am trying to get out there as a DJ, I am 16 and very talented! I want to make videos like this but I don’t know how!

[@djcarlo]

Thanks Disco King! Well, if you wanna see what I use, check out the Amazon links at the bottom of the descriptions. Might give you some insight into what you need to start on your videos.
