Yeah man like "drumcode" or commerical techno whatever you want to call it certainly has a lot of builds and drops henceforth hitting the cue on the first beat of the chorus will usually allign the two tracks perfectly. I would love Andrew to do maybe a tutorial on the minimal or more underground kinds of techno where there's a lack of builds and drops. Maybe even a 3 deck mix with fx? Other than that solid tutorial dude keep the good work up!
You watch big name acts at festivals and it’s all build up drops no journey man, the legend dvs1 done an amazing mini documentary on how festivals are killing the club culture
Please make a tutorial for FX, especially the ones used in Techno. More Techno tutorials in general please! :D Huge thumbs up, you are the best tutor on youtube at the moment by far!!!
2 years "learn alone" djing and i thought that more experienced djs really know what they're going to mix, but now i found that other people are playing and mixing what they feel at the moment and even telling themselves "maybe if i bring that in it will sound good" / "let's give it a shot", etc, and i learned that (except from knowing what buttons do) djs shouldn't really think about songs order, how are they going to bring a new track, what fx to use etc, just play what you feel at the moment, this is what i call a great tutorial, thanks for posting it m8
"Give them something to tap along with instead of gurning at the lasers" Hahaha.....you are a legend! Ace video as always. The best DJ tutor on the Tube by some distance. Thank you for continuously giving us top content and advice.
U f.. Silly 😋 tell him simply to remind TEKNO f. Real fans so let he ▶ a f.. Even 6 minutes as TEKNO God & Jesus's or their adopted son as Carl Cox 🇬🇧 other 2 are born in TEKNO Heaven Berlin :) 🎼 😋 so at least u TEKNO twat keep yr f.. Fingers crossed as a '' Love Parade '' might Come back to Berlin :)) ahh So Piss yo
- Just bought my first ever DJ controller (at age 39) - Stumbled upon this video - This guy using some of the exact same tracks I downloaded to start fiddling around with. Perfect! Cheers for that mate!
@@ClubReadyDJSchool I recently really discovered Techno as well and it really is a cool, different, genre. To me there seems to be more room to play around and layer like you show in this video. I wonder how many Techno DJs get up to 3+ tracks?
I think techno has a reputation as being ‘dark/moody’ but back in the day guys like Sims, Clarke, Umek, Bone would play really funky stuff ( and they still do). In general people tend to automatically think of industrial stuff but there’s still a lot of really great funkier/uplifting stuff being made.
Those artists are more funky and upbeat than most techno acts nowadays but there's still that mechanical and cold aspect that sets it apart from house, I find 90s techno to be happier but still very unsettling
The hard groove series Sims has released is some of the best techno about imo, its funky, groovy but still has that hardened techno sound. Don't really like melodic tech house techno wannabe stuff, and absolutely detest the trance shite Charlotte etc are playing now. Robert Hoods another decent one thats plays groovy stuff.
Techno lovers like myself are very defensive about the use of the term since it gets thrown around carelessly quite often so thanks for making that clear and for playing real techno. For anyone wondering, techno has many sub-genres as well such as minimal, dark, Berlin, Detroit, dub, acid, industrial, melodic and psychedelic.
I learnt to DJ techno about 15 years ago on vinyl. Back then there was no TH-cam so it was just me listening to Dave Clarke, Jeff Mills and Technasia sets and then thinking "let me try doing that". When it comes to techno, just remember, a lot of techno is "unfinished" unlike trance which comes produced and very structured. Many old techno tracks are not much more than loops, so it is up to the DJ to really layer and give the set that finished sound. Also, unlike trance it does not need to be as smooth. Some of the best techno DJs around are very raw and abrasive, like old school Clarke, Umek, etc.
@@pillsandthrills.399 Depends on your taste. Umek and Dave Clarke circa 1998 - 2004 for me were some of the best to both watch and listen to. Who would you suggest?
@Saor Alba The late 80s, early 90s were good, but music did not quite have the same production values as the later stuff. It was all still in its infancy
@@Hybzy Dave Clarke's still at the top of his game mate. Check out his awakenings 2019 set or his 50th birthday live at fuse 2019. Both sets are amazing, the awakenings set is possibly the best set I've heard in about 10 years, it's that good. Dave is still the man! Easily.
That was a quality tutorial. I've been looking forward to you dropping this one for a while and it was definitely worth the wait. It's obvious that you had a lot of fun making this and your enthusiasm is infectious. Can't wait for the next one!
I love how passionate this guy is! Best tutorials I’ve ever come across on TH-cam. I’ve learnt more in the week I’ve been watching this guy than in 3 months I’ve watched other tutorials, keep it up! :)
Great video friend - love your energy. I've DJ'd techno for over 20 years and you've really nailed it. I love that you've started your techno journey too!
Another excellent video. I have limited time to practice in the evenings after work and your EQing tips have made the biggest difference to my transitions. I'm still very much a beginner but when I'm in the right financial position I'll be trying your course. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
I watch a ton of tutorial videos and I have to say yours are the best by far. The way you explain have improved my skills. I love the way you describe the mids on the eq as the songs personality. Very helpful, thank you.
This video taught me I use auto loop way to much! But I love layering, and so when I find a section of a song, I like isolating those moments, and knowing there won't be any changes but you taught me to watch the wave forms more closely. Thanks!!!
I've been watching your videos for at least a year. Just upgraded from a 2 channel controller to the DDJ-SX (used). I just had a fabulous time mixing techno on 4 decks for the first time. Videos like this help me think through the process and help me practice. Never would have imagined a few years ago I'd be doing this and having so much fun. Thanks for putting what you have to offer into the world. Much respect 🙏.
love your work mate, just upgraded my decks and been looking around your channel and this is the perfect video i needed. appreciate it. you deserve a lot more support.
I've been listening to techno for years now and always been so fascinated by the art of DJing - being able to control the listener with emotions. This is the first time I've seen what they actually do behind the booth although I understand there's so much more to it! Loved this video :-)
Ok, _now_ that I watched it fully, I gotta say I really enjoyed this. Great attention to detail, I like your style! This video got recommended to me when I was at a friend's house and could not sleep, so I looked up how to mix in key and this video was next. I'm subscribed now and will be coming back for more. And btw, thank you so much for the tracklist in the description. In particular, the Spartaque remix of Joyhauser got me hooked real good. Brilliant!
With techno being my main genre to mix (only started a couple of weeks ago) this was honestly such a huge help with most DJ lessons on here focusing on house/edm. Unreal stuff bro 👍
I have started watching your videos since 2 months , you are really being motivational to my thoughts on starting up my carrer on DJing. Your Charming personality and way you teach is very understandable and helpful. As you said I have been utilising my time learning more about DJing during this epidemic which I hope we ll get over soon! . Also today's topic was something I was looking forward to since my taste is Techno. Thankyou so much and awaiting more guidelines from you. Raj India
After starting doing a bit of mixing again after 12 years I've started collecting a few techno tracks. I find the mixing very similar to when I used to mix Prog house on vinyl. You can keep them going together for longer than most other genres and its really fun.
Gotta admit techno is really fun to mix, playing around with all the EQ’s dropping bits of each track in at different points etc playing around with faders etc
Your passion makes for enjoyable watching, I’ve learned so much! Handled that mid-video delivery so smoothly too and it didn’t even mess with the mix 😂
"So what's the best way to mix techno - short answer: passionately"... Soooooo true. Thank you for another absolutely AMAZING video!!! And this happens to be my favorite genre. Switching form EQ to ISO really made the music come alive in a way I never expected when I started practicing. Saving up for your full course, but until then, please keep them vids coming. You have a new student and subscriber for life sir! # legend
100% agreed mixing techno is all about being passionate. Another technique I like is when you’ve got two songs working together really well, start a 2 bar loop on both at the same time and very subtly work the filters (or other FX) not as a way to get in or out of a song but to gently alter the timbre of the sound and make it evolve. Play with it for a while and then release the loops to let the tracks continue on.
I find it really interesting that you refer to the mids as the "personality." I've never thought of it like that, but I guess that's where most of the vibe is coming from when you're mixing it in. Cheers for the dope vids btw! been producing for years and am only just starting of DJing and live stuff, will defs be back to this channel a lot in the future :)
The long awaited Techno tutorial!!! It's really nice to see you play Techno, and amazing that you played Jay Lumen!! I started mixing a few months before I found your channel on TH-cam. It's funny how I started to form my own routines and set-ups on the mixer then later seeing an explanation about it in ur videos. I guess that means i'm doing something right. I think it's also important to know, that learning how mix smooth and properly is a combination of learning from others and experimenting yourself as well. Some things you just cannot explain, you have to find them yourself while adjusting the knobs of the mixer and when timing ur effects. I'm currently using the DDJ-400. I have my mixer on Isolator all the time, I feel that it gives me more control over what is happening on both channels(i have to choose because i can only change it in Preferences) Altough I already know alot of what you explain, I still enjoy watching your videos. There always something new to learn or it makes me look at things I already know in a different perspective. Maybe a video about how to mix Anjunadeep/Afterlife style?(Not sure about copyright issues) Also, I would love to see you playing a full set. Perhaps a livestream?
Been DJ'in for 10 years or so an stuck without my decks now so thought I'd check myself and go back to basics. Great videos bud fair play to ya! Listening to John Digweed was a game changer for me programming and technique wise.
This is the first video I am watching from your channel and I immediately loved your energy and the way you present yourself! The kindness is pouring from my screen and I love it :))
i love this! your genuine excitement and energy about music is contagious. great video. im brand new to the dj/mixing scene, ive got a ddj400 on the way and cant wait to get to learning. thanks for the inspiration!
wow, such an entertaining and informative tutorial. Love how you basically highlight there aren't any specific rules for techno and its about experimenting and getting a feeling for the 2 tracks and how they interact together.
Such a great inspiration! Been out the game for the last 18 years, picked some plx1000s and a djm450 and loving getting back into it. Getting used to dvs has been a revelation and maybe move onto some xdj's before too long. Keep it up 💯
Genuinely can feel the passion buzzing off you man, love it. Getting my first set coming to me soon and I can’t wait to jump right in hoping your vids help me, which I think they will. I’d love if you could do a start up vid for maybe serato lite? How to add songs etc. Really great stuff man love the channel.
That mixing energy... I prefer to go on with track 2 when track 1 is at 2nd drop, and then slowly decreasing the profile "mid" and increase it on the other deck. But it's all up to you, how you doing it. Your music, your feelings. ❤️🎶
I don't normally watch tutorials but every now and then like to pick ups new tips so I'll dip in. Your's are definitely the best on two counts, I like you style but it's your infectious enthusiasm that makes these such a pleasure to watch. Excellent !!!
love that you did a kinda in the moment winging it tutorial. this is my favourite way to dj and i feel so expressive and moments of brilliance come from it. gonna have to whip my hardhouse out now. best genre for long expressive mixes by far
Mate, this is awesome! been home djing for years, can beatmatch, phrase mix, use keys etc but always had problems with the decisive moment of the mix, the transition. I was seriously under using EQ (ie only using bass) - thank you!
I like your positive communication. I found this interesting, I am mainly a producer and dont bother too much about djing. Its interesting to see how tracks are beeing interpret by djs. On the floor you can very often quikly hear if the dj is in control or the track is in control, something which is hard ro describe or draw rules on. I guess it comes from many things but it defenitly seperates the novice from the pro dj. Novice tends to overdrive, pro keeps it more cool.
First video I’ve ever seen by you and wow.. I feel like I found my path. You just expanded the way I think, specifically with refering to the Mids as the “personality”. I’m very new at this, only thrown one house set, but have musical ability. I’ll be looking into your other videos and practice what I just saw. Thanks for this 👌 long live i_o
I originally got into dj’ing to play mainly Hip Hop/R&B, but I also LOVEEEEE house/tech house/techno lol so thank you for these tutorials! I gotta get used to letting the songs ride out longer that I normally would with Hip Hop/R&B :(
I’ve been mixing for a few years now, and I think I’m pretty good (not as good as you though). Just watching for the positive vibes and your smile! ;) I just feel so happy when listening to you explain stuff, because that’s how I feel about the music too!
This man is the Bob Ross of DJ'ing
Ahahahahaha
Was thinking the same man 😂
🤣
Exactly! ;)
@Jairo Cullen no no one does care
Step 1: Get an all black t-shirt
Ah yess, the essentials to mix techno
Advanced course covers cutting the sleeves off
Probably one of the nicest guys haha
@Abdeljalil fr
ive never seen somebody so enthusiastic teach us how to mix the darkest most evil music ever lol imagine this guy was a metal guitar instructor
I'm a techno nut and I'm glad you cleared everything up in the first 1 min of the clip regarding techno being its own genre, you are the man!
Yeah man like "drumcode" or commerical techno whatever you want to call it certainly has a lot of builds and drops henceforth hitting the cue on the first beat of the chorus will usually allign the two tracks perfectly.

Yeah, when I first came on to techno the builds and drops were fun. Now that I’ve been listening to it a little longer it gets old :/
Please make a tutorial for FX, especially the ones used in Techno. More Techno tutorials in general please! :D Huge thumbs up, you are the best tutor on youtube at the moment by far!!!
Noted! thanks mate :)
-Senpai I‘d love to hear more about that decay effect 😄 Just kidding. Agreed, btw.
Just mix the way you want to bro
@-Senpai Right on. With techno, a little FX goes a LONG way.
@-Senpai Yeah, I'm a noob, but every time I used FX other than those you mentioned it felt off.
2 years "learn alone" djing and i thought that more experienced djs really know what they're going to mix, but now i found that other people are playing and mixing what they feel at the moment and even telling themselves "maybe if i bring that in it will sound good" / "let's give it a shot", etc, and i learned that (except from knowing what buttons do) djs shouldn't really think about songs order, how are they going to bring a new track, what fx to use etc, just play what you feel at the moment, this is what i call a great tutorial, thanks for posting it m8
After learning like for 4 Yesrs I can completely agree this. You learn all these amazing shit only to absorb and throw them away.
Honestly DJing in general is just feeling it out and experimenting. I love mixing on the fly because it makes it really fun
"Give them something to tap along with instead of gurning at the lasers" Hahaha.....you are a legend! Ace video as always. The best DJ tutor on the Tube by some distance. Thank you for continuously giving us top content and advice.

Never to old, just got mine at the age of 52.
40 here and just got into DJing 2 years ago. DJing is something that takes a while to master. Just be patient and only play what you love to hear.
I’d love to see more techno videos maybe even a mix I think a lot of people on here would like that
100% I have some other videos in queue, but yes I love Techno now and will 100% do more. Thanks again :)

Best teacher on TH-cam thank you for doing all this 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I dont know if I like your personality more or your mixing skills! Amazing work dude
Genuinely can feel the passion buzzing off you man, love it. Getting my first set coming to me soon and I can’t wait to jump right in hoping your vids help me, which I think they will. I’d love if you could do a start up vid for maybe serato lite? How to add songs etc. Really great stuff man love the channel.
That mixing energy... I prefer to go on with track 2 when track 1 is at 2nd drop, and then slowly decreasing the profile "mid" and increase it on the other deck. But it's all up to you, how you doing it. Your music, your feelings. ❤️🎶
I am LOVING these videos! Thank you so much for such amazing information! Very much appreciated all the way from Canada!
You are so welcome! thank you :)
I don't normally watch tutorials but every now and then like to pick ups new tips so I'll dip in. Your's are definitely the best on two counts, I like you style but it's your infectious enthusiasm that makes these such a pleasure to watch. Excellent !!!
Thank you so much I really appreciate that.
love that you did a kinda in the moment winging it tutorial. this is my favourite way to dj and i feel so expressive and moments of brilliance come from it. gonna have to whip my hardhouse out now. best genre for long expressive mixes by far
Thanks Carl, I feel the same way 100%
Man, this is by far the best mixing tutorial I’ve seen on YT! Thanks for the tips.
Wow, thanks!
So dope! Thank you!
Mate, this is awesome! been home djing for years, can beatmatch, phrase mix, use keys etc but always had problems with the decisive moment of the mix, the transition. I was seriously under using EQ (ie only using bass) - thank you!
Really great video! Thank you so much for sharing.
These videos are so helpful!
I like your positive communication. I found this interesting, I am mainly a producer and dont bother too much about djing. Its interesting to see how tracks are beeing interpret by djs. On the floor you can very often quikly hear if the dj is in control or the track is in control, something which is hard ro describe or draw rules on. I guess it comes from many things but it defenitly seperates the novice from the pro dj. Novice tends to overdrive, pro keeps it more cool.
First video I’ve ever seen by you and wow.. I feel like I found my path. You just expanded the way I think, specifically with refering to the Mids as the “personality”. I’m very new at this, only thrown one house set, but have musical ability. I’ll be looking into your other videos and practice what I just saw. Thanks for this 👌 long live i_o
I was hoping you make this video.
I love your energy so much.
Thanks so much I really appreciate this :)
So much enthusiasm in what you are doing with some great explanation skills and passion to show us your good skills! Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Like the energy and smile when you talk and teach
Yeah guy seems super passionate about it :)
I originally got into dj’ing to play mainly Hip Hop/R&B, but I also LOVEEEEE house/tech house/techno lol so thank you for these tutorials! I gotta get used to letting the songs ride out longer that I normally would with Hip Hop/R&B :(
Yess finally uni holidays have arrived. 3 months of mixing erry day and your high energy super enjoyable lessons :D
I’ve been mixing for a few years now, and I think I’m pretty good (not as good as you though). Just watching for the positive vibes and your smile! ;) I just feel so happy when listening to you explain stuff, because that’s how I feel about the music too!
This was so helpful! Going to practice more today
