This was super informative but I do have one question. How do your B2B sets usually get booked? Do you and the other artist set out to play together or does the venue/event book you both through the same agent/agency? Follow up: Have you ever had an awkward or bad experience in a B2B set?
I also love b2b sets because it gives me some more confidence going into the set. If anything happens (someone trips over a chord or you mess up on track selection) then the crowd isn’t just looking at you, they are looking at you and your partner in crime which always feels a little less embarrassing lol
In the last couple of years I've done a lot of back to back to back sets with DJ Turne and DJ DNS. We would use 3 setups. In our case it wasn't just about mixing, but we would incorporate some turntablism fun as well. To keep a clear eye on our outputs we would all send our signals to a seperate DJM900NX2. That way we all used the booth signal from that mixer and we could hear each other. It would be back to back to back, or two of us would be playing at the same time, and sometimes all three of us were adding something at the same time. Communication was very important because it's easy to turn such a three-way set into a chaotic situation ;)
The fact that a legend is showing us this tutorial is fricken amazing. Deadmau5 does all the time too and David Gutta did a few. So it's awesome seeing absolute legends give us tips and tutorials
dear Laidback Luke, my suggestion to you is make the next episode of "How to DJ Back 2 Back". because i still confused how Dirtyphonics could mixing the track. Each of them using 2 CDJs and one Mixer (the total on the table have 4 CDJs & 2 Mixers). also the tempo they are use usually 170++ BPM (DnB).
I’ve only ever DJ’d Back to Back once and honestly was the best Djing experience ever! I can’t wait to do it again and this video just keeps motivating me to do it again!
Back in 2009, a buddy and I had two Technics 1200 setups with Serato and we played two songs each and then the other would mix two tracks. We would communicate at what BPM we were just to speed up the process. B2B sets are another great level to DJing. It's a lot of fun but it challenges you to try harder and be on the fly.
Glad to get top comment on the last video. Once again great vlog. Very good information 👍🏻 How do you keep interested in doing shows when you do so many throughout the year? What keeps them fun. Apart from the crowd.
That MixMash Miami B2B2B2B2B with all them (afro, quintino, hardwell, etc) was such a sick set, I loved it. The Busta Rhymes drop to the DJ Snake song ermggawwdd
Personally, I've not done too many b2b sets but I think that it really just boils down to communication. As long as you and your partner are on the same wavelength and you know what's going on, pretty much anything goes. If you both feel the same or similar vibe then all will be swell. As long as there is no nasty surprises....
Played b2b with a friend from New York i met last weekend, one of the craziest turnouts and lots of fun. It’s always great putting two minds into one set, gets people moving crazy!
Heres an idea for yall. Try doing a b2b or b3b set over the internet live?? I have done a few sets with this concept and its so fun, especially if your a startup DJ. You get to apply all of your skills and making a clean mix is really fun. Only disadvantage, is making sure the audio from all ends is clean.
Ayyyyy number 1 been a fan for over 10 years thank you for your videos!! Been using turntables for over 20 years and I truly enjoy all the information you deliver. All of it is proper. .. Stay fresh. Elektro morales
I would like to see you with the Swedish House Mafia celebrating the 10th anniversary of “Leave The World Behind” one of the greatest track of all times imo ;)
Ah yes, look like you're actually doing something & not just taking pictures or updating social media...... lolz... great video... hope you young DJs listen to this dude..
Nicest person on the planet off the decks and on the decks. Been watching you since I was 15 sneaking into my local night club the cream. Surely you remember those days. Really sweaty! Good times and many more to come _|mm|_
Hi *Luke* this may be a *silly* question but whatever lol : When you go *B2B* using the same controller as everyone else, will they gain access to all of the music that was stored in your USB stick once you plug yours in? Thanks!
Hey Luke thanks for this video, it was really helpful. A video that I would like to see sometime is a tutorial on how you made the Keep It Low remix. The drop melody is crazy so I would be really excited to see how you made it.
What is the song that's playing during this video? (~ 6:46) The name is on the tip of my toungue but I can't remember it, I think I'm hearing a part of the Rocking With The Best vocals but I'm not sure
Thanks a lot Laidback Luke, u are one of my principal inspiration in this industry. I really want to talk with you, like having a casual conversation, would be fun :) Thanks a lot again, Cheers from Portugal \o/
Pretty cool to have A-track's mixer going thru your mixer . you can then set up cue on A-tracks track and mix yours thru the mixer without taking off headphones to use the monitor.
Run a weekly radio show that is 3 DJs 2 tracks each for 2 hours...we do crazy themes each week,mixing in the key of... The bpms have to increase each couple of songs....nothing but sax ( my favorite show we did ) Last week covered every genre on the planet. I love back 2 back ,never know where it is going to go.....such a journey Did 6 hours back 2 back for this last New Years....so much fun
When are you gonna make another techno set, I'm not a EDM guy, but I love the dedication and the vibes you put it in your sets, and the last time you played techno was simple exquisite... Cheers!!!
you are my favorite dj, I never miss any video of you I love your videos, thanks for your huge songs, really congratulations, greetings from mexico🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🎧🎧🎧👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
Maybe a couple of more issues could be like you mentioned, flexibility of mixing in to other genres when playing with someone else, unless it has been pre-planned, as well as mixing styles, like some people might like to play longer into a track while some might be into really short mixes (ofcourse this might not be an issue when B2Bs with other people are more often done rather than as an one-off thing). At the end of the day it might be more easier for DJs like yourself when you play with your mates, rather than for younger folk, who might team up with someone else for the night at much smaller clubs. Just a thought. Thanks for yet another video. Cheers, Kunal.

good question m8
Excellent questions - hope they get answered 👀📝
I am curious as to what Luke’s response to this is
Yup, that's a good one.
E most of the time, the organization asks the dj’s if they’re interested in it
I also love b2b sets because it gives me some more confidence going into the set. If anything happens (someone trips over a chord or you mess up on track selection) then the crowd isn’t just looking at you, they are looking at you and your partner in crime which always feels a little less embarrassing lol
Next video: in our mind. Back to back live mix 😂
Fuck yeah!

I truly believe that even some of the best artists come here and learn from this stuff. Laidback Luke is a legend.
Love from Portugal! ❤️🇵🇹
Portugal caralhooooooo!!
CRAZY as a beginner DJ I was just wondering how people did B2Bs! Thanks for the perfectly timed video!
When I'm 42 I hope I look as young as luke 🙏
Laidbackbabyface Luke
This is a filipino trait. Look young even even at above 50s

B2B has to be so much fun thing to do. Keep on communicating with each other & work together to make one big & enjoyable set for the crowd.

We would communicate at what BPM we were just to speed up the process. B2B sets are another great level to DJing. It's a lot of fun but it challenges you to try harder and be on the fly.
this is gold, working towards my first b2b set

Great vlog as always. Small point:- alot of the new mixers have two headphone jack sockets so you can leave yours plugged in when going back to back.
LLL!!!! HELL YES. Was waiting for this. Right in. It's most appreciated

Laidback Luke your tutorials are awesome I was at the Houston concert with A-trakk and it was epic 🔥
Although I haven’t DJ’d back to back I can appreciate the fact that the increase in complication can lead to enhanced creativity💡
Thank you, very good ideas. Need to try next round
can you make a video about your biggest DJ Fails ? ;)
He did one ;)
@@RaveDave7000 please give me the link xD
Just look for the video "my biggest dj fails"
When does the track featured throughout this video come out? I asked on Twitter but had no luck. :(
Hi *Luke* this may be a *silly* question but whatever lol : When you go *B2B* using the same controller as everyone else, will they gain access to all of the music that was stored in your USB stick once you plug yours in? Thanks!

I can imagine doing a B2B set with a friend for a party at college or a small event! Sounds like a lot of fun:) great video as always Luke!
What is the song that's playing during this video? (~ 6:46) The name is on the tip of my toungue but I can't remember it, I think I'm hearing a part of the Rocking With The Best vocals but I'm not sure
Oh my days!!! How have I not seen any of these videos before??!!!
Thank you Luke!
Had to share this with my brother so we can get our b2bs slammin :) Thanks Luke!
THOOOOT GUNDAM @8:08!! I love that visuals!!!
Thanks for uploading this. Back to back sets have always been something I've never really understood. This is incredibly helpful!
Very interesting, thank you Luke !. You experience definitely shows here, you make it sound so easy. If I tried it I would fall flat on my face !. lol
Thank you for everything you have been doing... ❤❤
Thanks a lot Laidback Luke, u are one of my principal inspiration in this

Just watch a kings of the rollers set if you want to see a masterclass in B2B2B's
I’m so glad I’m not the only one in here who knows them :,)

I love back 2 back ,never know where it is going to go.....such a journey
Did 6 hours back 2 back for this last New Years....so much fun
I learned something in this blog alright. Hey Luke how about about doing a back to back set with DJ Craze at Miami next weekend, Yes yes? Ya?
When are you gonna make another techno set, I'm not a EDM guy, but I love the dedication and the vibes you put it in your sets, and the last time you played techno was simple exquisite... Cheers!!!
Very very useful! Thanks Luke!!
We need a Back-to-Back „In My mind“!
I would love to see a B2b with joyryde! Something else I would like to know is how you organize your music folders.
Gold. Inspiring as always.
Finally Luke made my wish come true 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😎
Hey there, what's the song at 1:54?
Great video and tips! It would be great if we could see a B2B in my mind video of you for further insights.
Would love to see you and a trak b2b set
Just in case there are 1/4 inch splitters that allow you to b2b with 2 headphones plugged in simultaneously
Cool Video Video as always ! Best live dj!!! Thanks
Nice track at 1:26 😍
Highly informative 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great video, I am having my first B2B soon so, I'm looking for every bit of good info

What’s the platter on the right CDJ? Almost looks like a vinyl turntable to me
B2B with don diablo, fedde le grand and or makj #MixmashMiami

Laidback Luke!
Where can i hear u and a trak playing together back to back !
Thanks for this awesome video. Where can we watch your b2b set with A-trak?
Hi Laidback Luke :) are you half filipino right ? all filipinos proud on you :) ahm i think good back to back with jauz and salvatore g .
Why didn't you play at Ultra Miami this year? I wanted to hear your set. ;-)
When is the mixmash family coming back to shanghai!!??
Hey Luke can show us next how u setup or make ur split cue device? Thank u
I’m curious as to what Luke and other producers/djs opinion is on Hardstyle music. Would be interesting to know
Laidback Luke and tjr is my dream b2b

And the real fun with two different mixers would be the beatmatching for sure haha. Vinyl vinyl vinyl :).
Still have trauma from my last BtB, my fellow DJ chose to add a little bit of hardcore trap and dubstep to my house songs. O_O
Can you do a video on how you set up your cameras for an in my mind mix? (I mean the overhead one etc)
Maybe I'm just oldschool, but what's the point of a b2b? And when did it change from being called a tag team set?
SIGNAL SWAPPER , I don't know it there is such thing, but it ll help a lot on B2B sets
Your voice is perfect for TH-cam :)
You should come back to back to Montreal!
Can u plz make a video on how to layer an Acapella on any track. Coz I always have a hard time doing so.
What tips would you have for couples djing together?
How do you DJ with different types of equipment? Like when U spun at miami with afrojack and chuckie? Thank you idol
Really COOL bro thanx For The information bro👌🏾👌🏾
Very good VLOG as always!
Thanks buddy so usefull
Laidback Luke B2B Yellow Claw lol that would be fun
Maybe you could do an interview with sunnery & ryan marciano about how they do it together in the booth or dimi and mike??
Best crow of the world ( I know it’s difficult but try to choose one )
Exactly what I needed, thanks LL! :)
@Laidback Luke B2B with Axwell would be siiiiick :D
Thanks
When you are "in the heat"? lol
I prefer doing 2x4 than doing B2B. Not many 2x4 sets going down these days.
A B2B with Steve Angello and Ingrosso since they are playing at XS, it would be unbelievable
So you do see my comment as you scroll down on when you look at the comments section?
