Basic techniques like these are really the most important, I think. Once you master them you can get more adventurous. I would add that using the filter in combination with the low EQ can give you depth to swapping the drop, or effectively extend a breakdown without using loops. Just be aware that filters and EQ curves are different on each mixer, and sound different yet again on each sound system so the optimal amount to turn the knob may be different on a club system than on your home system.

@@realbddy1921They are just the same, but camelot is easier to use in a dj'ing context. That's because you just have to go a number up or down and you will be shifting to another fifth. Camelot is a more comprehensive notation if you don't have a strong background in music theory ;)

I like the layering technique because of the creativity you can create in a mix. Also with layering, you are free to use EQ-blending and swapping drops, which makes your transitions more varying rather than track for track for track, etc.

Interesting. I’d love to see your take on the harder styles of techno, like Ben Sims, Fhase 87, Skov Bowden or Uncertain. I have never been a fan of the EQ blend but do use the filter colour effect so I guess it’s similar. Phrasing is where it’s at and it wasn’t until recently that I could put into better words what I was doing as a DJ, it was always this. Harmonic key matching is another technique that should be practiced. I enjoy seeing these videos and after 30 years of playing tracks it still never gets old and always give a fresh insight for new ideas. Let’s have a hard-jack or hard-groove video next time. Techno never gets old for me. ☮️&💟

In my experience layering works best when the tracks have the same or matching key, same or similar BPM and most importantly that the genre (hard, trance, groove techno etc) or type of beat is the same. ♥ But you can also create very unique tunes when you mix different genres or bass types. In this case, your own creativity and vision behind the outcome is most important.

I think it really goes to show mixing is very stylistic. I personally detest blending lows in techno it can throw everything out of phase. I think cutting the lows by about half for a drop down section on the first track and immediately replacing them with the other track's kick is a lot tighter

Especially regarding the first technique, while this might be true for very "slow and soft" techno, the techno which is much more played at the moment is harder techno (Nico Moreno, Shlomo, Alignment, 9x9, Klangkuenstler) and you would never do such mixing for this subgenre of techno.

I had the same problem too. I cut the highs and the lows to create something similar. Mids can be still heard, but once you cut highs and lows, they're almost imperceptible. Not having a mids EQ is not so bad. You can still cut them on your DJ software but it's less practical. Enjoy your journey to mix and don't give up 😊

i usually do it like that: look at a track go to the nearest drop hear out the exact location when it starts put a hotcue there. Then go 32beats back or 64 or even 128 and listen what a good spot would be to start a mix (can be done with beat jump btw) then place a marker there. Later on u have a lot of tracks with markers everywhere and you just start when the markers fit :) or you just feel it like me. If u notice that u need more of one song before the drop u can always start looping DJ's do that hotcue stuff for the workflow so we can just hit that hotcue and all fits right. Because if u got 1beat off it will mess up your drop (thats why im going right from the drop backwards in fixed steps) Techno is realy simple with Beats btw. Try it go to any techno Track and go from any Start of a Drop forward and Backward in 16beats steps ill guarantee u ull get every important part of a song with very few exceptions.
