- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ต.ค. 2024
- Live from Dekmantel’s 2022 conference, Octo Octa demonstrates one of her signature DJ tools: a cappella records, which contain several tracks of repeated vocals or phrases.
“I have a number of a capella records that I put on top of music all the time. Part of the fun of DJing is presenting music in ways that weren’t originally intended. It’s a really fun orchestration tool that you can use and put over anything,” she says.

Tracklist:
Grant Nelson - Swing City DJ Tools Volume 2
DJ Swamp - The Skip-Proof Scratch Tool
Nu-Birth - Anytime
Production by Hittegolf
I was there in the workshop that day at Dekmantel, and what a lovely and talented person is Octo Octa, her set b2b Eris Drew for the festival was definitely one for the books! ❤
Cheers from Costa Rica, girls!
You were right next to me, front row, for Hunee & Antal 😂♥️
Hope you're doing great!
Appreciate the extra details she adds to her mixes. So many producer-DJs just do the bare minimum.
One of the best in the biz and a sweet person to boot.
Met her in Malta at Glitch Festival - big fan of her upbeat house tracks and her more contemplative stuff from her excellent 'Where Are We Going' album.
Her music helped me move past a rough time in my life for which I'll always be grateful. More power, Maya ❤️
I met octo when she was a he and the promoter was telling us to say her but he called her dude and everyone was like.... umm.
@@LordHando humans are a strange bunch!

Ftr, djs have been doing this since the 70's... it actually gave way to sampling but was always a staple in NYC clubs. Peech boys, Thelma Houston, Jimmy Castor Bunch, Grace Jones etc,. on top of beats.. not hating, She does it justice... just a little insight.
this is real talk
@@asonx8624 TY 🤗
Best example I have EVER heard of using acapellas on top of other records was from a Derrick Carter mix tape recorded in January of 1994 when he was a resident at Foxy's. Just a Monday night in Boystown. No reason to go off so hard. And it's ninety minutes of pure FIRE.
@@earthman808 Those are the ones to cherish...
0:57 that flip was so clean and satisfying
muscle memory go flip
Great to somebody who knows's their way around vinyl! Super dope!
Nothing fancy she says, but it hits the spot and that's the recipe.
So talented!!! 🎉
You get how mix and use the tools of our trade
Really nice.
This was great! Going to get some of those acapella records now 😏
true skill 🎶
And now with Stems being part of the Big DJ Softwares we don't "really" need separate Acapella's any more.
Well Rekordbox Stems Acapellas are a bit crap but its there first version so :)
Yeah get those claps girl!!
Great demonstration and nice 12"s !
I like this dj. She’s creative and active behind the decks and humble but it’s hilarious that people are calling this skilled. It’s low grade 80s djing.
This is gold
Proper talent!
amazing
Way to rep Nice ‘N’ Ripe!!!
❤
Where can we find the whole interview?
More educational than my university bs
Laughing because I run a university music program and was thinking, I should really share this with the students.
Luv her
💋
:)
lol
check this Guy out .. Guys !
she cute
No.
@@miguimau No u.
He is a he always !! God told me !
So ... a vocal that was out of key, not even close to be in sync and not on the right tempo ... over a house track that had literally nothing other than the standard kick/bass + few instrumentals ...
What's the big deal about this DJ ?
u wouldnt get it
You know
maybe you should watch more than a 4 min out-of-context clip before judging, mate
He’s trans so getting pushed more than a better DJ because of ‘the message’
@@feastmode7931 people/DJs normally are judged way sooner than 4 minutes and a half ;)
Это что за чудо-юдо. Дак а что важнее образ или грув, ты определись уже.
I would
