For anyone else who is viewing this and attempting to execute it in a similar fashion and is having trouble you may try this route. 1) Adjust the slower song to the same exact BPM as the song currently playing and create a 4 bar loop. 2) Decide which part or BAR of the track currently playing you will be bringing in the "Slower" song. 3) Once you've decided a mix point bring in the second track and after every 2 or four bars begin to lower the loop rate by 1/2. until you've reached 1/2 4) Fade out the track originally playing via the fader or High/Low Pass filter 5) Once only the loop from the slower song is playing which should be for a few seconds simultaneously stop the loop process and bring the BPM to its original state. Hope this works out for you the way it did for me. Thank you fosta11 for this tutorial. It has helped me out tremendously.
+Jtapia031 Just bought the ddj sb2 and I have actually done this a lot of times when i have been mixing. It is really a great way to get in the new track :)
You are helping people and that's worth my time. Fuck the haters,they don't have interest in using their time to help. They just sit back and hate. Keep helping.
So trippy... I listened to Let Me Blow Your Mind today for the first time in ages. I do this quite often, and sometimes if I don't want the loop i just manually hit and hold the cue button to the bpm of the track. Great stuff.
that was really cool way to chane from such different bpm's! It is a very drastic change for the crowd to "handle", but i can not think of a better way myself :) you are skilled!
OMG THIS IS AMAZING! I'm picking up my first set of decks* (fast and loose use of the term) tonight. Numark Pro 3s and this is first thing I'm going to learn! Thanks so much
lot of people hating on this video.. Clearly they have no idea how hard it would be to even mix two tracks together with just even a tempo difference of 10! Good video. Been dj'ing for 4 years now and i've never used the methods you just showed. Never have had to try mix such a massive bpm difference!
That was perfect man !!!! But since you have good accessories , so it's easy for you to remix these kind of remixes. I got NS6 but , this one is really advanced and I love it :) Good luck ;)
nice! I would of never thought of tightening up a short loop like that, you didn't nail it perfectly but who cares, like you said we get the idea and that is a great tip. Thank you sir!
If I took a drink every time you said "um", I'd be dead;) Thanks for posting this technique! You helped me with some ideas I've been working on. Much appreciated:)
the fuck up sounded lovely. came back to this vid after a year just to refresh on the technique, doing another halloween gig and i plan on dropping this and BLOWING PEOPLES MIND. ace work m8, cheers from cross the pond
That was pretty awesome mate, I doubt a crowd would of spotted the mishap at the end anyway. Would say quite a lot of practice goes into routines like that when playing out :-). Nice work, keep the flavour going.
Fosta, super creative and slick. It would be easy enough to redo the transition and record over so it was perfect, but showing your mistake (hitting wrong button) at the end and how you managed to still pull it off, made your video that much more human. Much appreciated, and seriously admire your skills. (I'm lower on the learning curve, but can easily see real talent :) )
for all you people saying sync it, because you sync a song into another so they match dont mean your a dj. Think of it that way, what if you have to go to a club or a venue where you have to use their equipment and you get a request to mix a slower tune in and then you realise the sync button is not there?? What you guoing to do then?? And great job mate really liked the way you have done it :)
@Strowlight that's the whole point of the vid. To show that you that you can match a BPM bYycutting down a segment of another tune that has a different BPM.
I thoroughly enjoyed that video as I am djing for the first time for a couple hundred people in a shitty club but yeah it's nice to get some last minute extra transition tips in, cheers mate
i'm not even a dj, i'm a producer. Although this transition was fine, I think it could be better if you just wait until a riser comes up on the fast song and just before the drop comes, just add a lot of reverb and stop the track. The fast song will slowly diffuse because of the reverb, and that will create the perfect atmosphere to hit play on the other deck and put whatever slow song you want. I didn't even tested this technique myself, as I said before, I'm not a dj. So probably I'm really wrong!
+Jonathan Wolf that and its a completely dif type of transition. you need to master multiple ways that way your not always doing the same and or stuck using wrong type on wrong song combo
Dope shit man. That echo did it iw as trying to play in in my head but when you said echo it started to come through. But what you pulled out was amazing.
It was a good attempt mate...nice to see something different than just stopping one with a fade effect and starting the slower one...but if I heard this transition during an actual set online, I would X out the window =\
awesome Video Sir! Sir Actually I Have A Problem I.e I Am Used To CDJ 900NXS, But I Work in A Club Where There is CDJ 900!. So still i Didnt Get that On What To Set Tempo Range. Because It Shows Way Different Then The 900 NXS. So Plz Can U Make A Video on What Shud we Keep The Tempo Range And How To Mix Two songs On CDJ900! Plz Help Me Out Plz!!
The song stays the same bpm but he is chaning the bpm by the loop. The loop effectivly doubles the bpm of that song ( notice the slow song had almost half the bpm as the fast one). You can see this effect on any djing device with looping abilities. Just slowly half that loop and you will see that one sound gets played faster and faster as you half the loop.
That is crazy! I'm not a huge CD fan but we can't fight technology as it is every where! I've heard nothing but good things about these CD Players, pioneer is the top of the industry in that regards! Nice transition.
Should've moved the first track to 140 and the second one to 70. Small enough differences so that they don't change too much plus one is half of the other so they would mix fine even though phrasing would've been off
If you're coming back into DJing and you don't have equipment right now, I'd suggest taking a look at all of your options. By that I mean that computers and controllers have taken huge strides in the last few years and have superseded the capabilities of CDJs. The upside is that you can use all your old DJ techniques with new music and your complete kit typically takes up a lot less space while every song you have is instantly accessible.
I would like to see how haters would make this transition :) for sure applying delay to hide tempo difference i simple, but it works pretty good, in additon you use effects in a real real good way. Anyway it's really difficult to make a good unsynchronized tempo transition, and you succeed man
Very innovative. Should work easy with hiphop, rock and pop. I think this technique goes beyond the challenge of BPM transitioning. If perfected, one can mix songs with fairly different BPM's too. Worth taking up the challenge. Thanks again.
Top man!, who gives a fuck if you 'messed up', nobody expects a perfect set, it was generous of you to do this. Thanks for the tip and for taking the time to share your knowledge.
love the technique, just not sure I can pull it off- seems somewhat limited by equipment. I'm currently using the numark mixtrack w/ virtual dj, so I have some effects, but not a huge selection.
i am sorry, i don't even dj or beatmatch but i think this didnt sound right. isn't it a better idea with such huge bpm differences to have kind of a transient middle part in between?
buddy you use the play button only for starting songs or searching for cue point if your not a friend of the vinyl mode ... but it's a nice tutorial, great idea's ... keep it up
I want to layer drum or kick of around 120’s bpm in to a track of around 90bpm at the same time .. how do I do it ..maybe stupid question , but please teach me. Thank you all
so many different types of atmosphere in a club though, taking it into that gwen stefani tune would just get everyone cheering and boppin about nice to have a change in pace
For anyone else who is viewing this and attempting to execute it in a similar fashion and is having trouble you may try this route.
1) Adjust the slower song to the same exact BPM as the song currently playing and create a 4 bar loop.
2) Decide which part or BAR of the track currently playing you will be bringing in the "Slower" song.
3) Once you've decided a mix point bring in the second track and after every 2 or four bars begin to lower the loop rate by 1/2. until you've reached 1/2
4) Fade out the track originally playing via the fader or High/Low Pass filter
5) Once only the loop from the slower song is playing which should be for a few seconds simultaneously stop the loop process and bring the BPM to its original state.
Hope this works out for you the way it did for me. Thank you fosta11 for this tutorial. It has helped me out tremendously.
+Jtapia031 Just bought the ddj sb2 and I have actually done this a lot of times when i have been mixing. It is really a great way to get in the new track :)
Glad to hear this method has helped!
This is defo something i was thinking of but could never think of a way to make it smooth, nice video man, thanks.
I wish more djs in "commercial" bars/clubs were as creative as this...
You are helping people and that's worth my time. Fuck the haters,they don't have interest in using their time to help. They just sit back and hate. Keep helping.
This is actually a brilliant way to transition to a slower song without having to have a "transition song. This is great! Thanks for the idea.
Nice. Just started messin around with the 800 and effects but that lil trick never crossed my mind. Cheers for sharing that with everyone!
That ping-pong effect is CANDY to my ears, man.
So trippy... I listened to Let Me Blow Your Mind today for the first time in ages. I do this quite often, and sometimes if I don't want the loop i just manually hit and hold the cue button to the bpm of the track. Great stuff.
This is still the best transition video I've seen to date. Good work man
that was really cool way to chane from such different bpm's! It is a very drastic change for the crowd to "handle", but i can not think of a better way myself :) you are skilled!
OMG THIS IS AMAZING! I'm picking up my first set of decks* (fast and loose use of the term) tonight. Numark Pro 3s and this is first thing I'm going to learn! Thanks so much
The most creative transition that I even seen,it did inspired me

Been dj'ing for 4 years now and i've never used the methods you just showed. Never have had to try mix such a massive bpm difference!

But since you have good accessories , so it's easy for you to remix these kind of remixes.
I got NS6 but , this one is really advanced and I love it :)
Good luck ;)
nice! I would of never thought of tightening up a short loop like that, you didn't nail it perfectly but who cares, like you said we get the idea and that is a great tip. Thank you sir!
well the point here is to fade in and out when u want to mix a slow tune with fast tune , thanks really helped
What a smooth mixing, mate. Cheers!
love the "haha caught you" don't know if it works in front of a crowd but still thanks for the effects and loops ideas
Pretty sick mix man. I am new to this and trying to expand my knowledge! Thanks for the video!
Real imaginative! Gave me some ideas, thanks man. Oh and nice setup!
thats the most creative thing i have ever seen a dj do :)
If I took a drink every time you said "um", I'd be dead;) Thanks for posting this technique! You helped me with some ideas I've been working on. Much appreciated:)
the fuck up sounded lovely. came back to this vid after a year just to refresh on the technique, doing another halloween gig and i plan on dropping this and BLOWING PEOPLES MIND. ace work m8, cheers from cross the pond
Awesome idea mate. I usually just use the roll on the cdj 400's and echo effect on the mixer but this is more of a creative way.
That was pretty awesome mate, I doubt a crowd would of spotted the mishap at the end anyway. Would say quite a lot of practice goes into routines like that when playing out :-).
Nice work, keep the flavour going.

Much appreciated, and seriously admire your skills. (I'm lower on the learning curve, but can easily see real talent :) )
that was a really class way of mixing House into slowjamz RNB! impressed!
That a smooth transition, respect!
that's actually quite clever, never thought of that but as soon as i herd the loop i knew, nice.
for all you people saying sync it, because you sync a song into another so they match dont mean your a dj. Think of it that way, what if you have to go to a club or a venue where you have to use their equipment and you get a request to mix a slower tune in and then you realise the sync button is not there?? What you guoing to do then?? And great job mate really liked the way you have done it :)
If a tune is 140 just mix it with a 70 tune thats how you do it...but good shit..nice

I didn't even tested this technique myself, as I said before, I'm not a dj. So probably I'm really wrong!
it's hit or miss. depends on the track you're dropping into. you can get away with that once maybe twice during a night.
+Jonathan Wolf that and its a completely dif type of transition. you need to master multiple ways that way your not always doing the same and or stuck using wrong type on wrong song combo
Dope shit man. That echo did it iw as trying to play in in my head but when you said echo it started to come through. But what you pulled out was amazing.
I think he's a genius, I got the idea of what he trying to do and I going to try right now
Great great video man, Sweet pairof 900s, sweet video, awesome control and use of effects. Congrats :)
nice to see a video of this done i do this allot going back and fourth between hip hop and electro. =) very simple but effective trick
you actually made it very nice, congratelations
Great video... Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us... awesome tip...!!!
you hit the wrong button? that shit was dope!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for the inspiration!
Niiiice
If I ever learn to DJ I'm coming back to this video
That was beautiful...
dude that was fucking sick. ive literally been looking for tutorials on how to mix songs towards the end and this is perrrrfect thank you!
@DJCachazo1 the 2000 is the one on the left hand side with the white lights o nthe jog, the 900 is on the right
I don't know what you did wrong cause my jaw dropped at that transition
Love the style man! Sounds wicked!
It was a good attempt mate...nice to see something different than just stopping one with a fade effect and starting the slower one...but if I heard this transition during an actual set online, I would X out the window =\
big love to all the haters.mmmwwaaahh
Hello Mr. DJ.. ✌️ .. How about mixing 80s songs like songs from The Smiths by 115 bpm to 119 bpm? How can I mix it? Thanks Mr. DJ.. Peace! ✌️
+Narg Nargi Just touch the pitch slider a little on both decks haha! +2BPM on the 115BPM and -2BPM on the other :)
what a stupid question is that?
awesome Video Sir! Sir Actually I Have A Problem I.e I Am Used To CDJ 900NXS, But I Work in A Club Where There is CDJ 900!. So still i Didnt Get that On What To Set Tempo Range. Because It Shows Way Different Then The 900 NXS. So Plz Can U Make A Video on What Shud we Keep The Tempo Range And How To Mix Two songs On CDJ900! Plz Help Me Out Plz!!
Fosta11 - very clever and well done 👍🤙
Don't worry about the haters, its called jealousy 😉😆🤣
best reply ever in youtube
nice work man I didn't even notice the muck up. Sounded great... :)

P
i mixed vynil for 7 years and these are the only CDJ i can recommend to buy they simulate the vynil feel very well if you set them up correctly.
Dale Smith You've mixed vynil? What the hell is vynil? I've heard of of vinyl before, but never heard of vynil!!!!!!!
Simple and effective. Thanks for the tip. :)
Nice1 Bro - Never thought to do that with the echo. Please share any more tips you may have. Big Up!!
Very smart transition,don't listen to haters,this is a very good transition :) thanks 4 the tip :D
Should've moved the first track to 140 and the second one to 70. Small enough differences so that they don't change too much plus one is half of the other so they would mix fine even though phrasing would've been off
Sweet video man. . took on board your methods to add to my arsenal! :) top stuff
If you're coming back into DJing and you don't have equipment right now, I'd suggest taking a look at all of your options. By that I mean that computers and controllers have taken huge strides in the last few years and have superseded the capabilities of CDJs. The upside is that you can use all your old DJ techniques with new music and your complete kit typically takes up a lot less space while every song you have is instantly accessible.
Epic catch at the end!
MAN U KILLED IT , TEACH ME HOW TO MIX HIP HOP WHILE PLAYING HOUSE MUSIC
I would like to see how haters would make this transition :) for sure applying delay to hide tempo difference i simple, but it works pretty good, in additon you use effects in a real real good way. Anyway it's really difficult to make a good unsynchronized tempo transition, and you succeed man
you my sir, are a genius.
I think... that was great creativity.... good work....
Mind = Blown
Hey Man it is a shame that you pushed the wrong button but I did get and hear where you were going with it. Thanks for posting it up. #startingoutdj.
Very innovative. Should work easy with hiphop, rock and pop. I think this technique goes beyond the challenge of BPM transitioning. If perfected, one can mix songs with fairly different BPM's too. Worth taking up the challenge. Thanks again.
Very helpful vid. Thanks for taking the time to make this
Definitely see where you were going with it mate, bit of tweaking and it will be bang on.
That was honestly awesome.
Tricky but good mate...it made sense tbh!
Its all about being creative, well done!
Top man!, who gives a fuck if you 'messed up', nobody expects a perfect set, it was generous of you to do this. Thanks for the tip and for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Tooo smooth!, very nice work
that was crazy cool man
Awesome job dude Ive struggled with that myself good save.
love the technique, just not sure I can pull it off- seems somewhat limited by equipment. I'm currently using the numark mixtrack w/ virtual dj, so I have some effects, but not a huge selection.

buddy you use the play button only for starting songs or searching for cue point if your not a friend of the vinyl mode ... but it's a nice tutorial, great idea's ... keep it up
as you were running up all the effects which were cool fade off and just up the the bpm on second track job done good effort mate .
I want to layer drum or kick of around 120’s bpm in to a track of around 90bpm at the same time .. how do I do it ..maybe stupid question , but please teach me. Thank you all
i absolutely LOVED it with the mistake, lovely drop. should do it like that on purpose.
That was AMAZING.
Yo that sounded tough great idea. I think something went wrong right at the end though. Oh well i still liked it
I dont have a clue what these guys are on about that was sick!
That is just impressive.
im just starting out, that was really helpful, ill have a crack at that when my controller arrives
great advice!!! thank you!!
Sounds nice, i will need to try something like this. Now, let's go find some songs!
thanks! this gave me a lot to expand from.
Thats a good idea :) Great vid mate :)
so many different types of atmosphere in a club though, taking it into that gwen stefani tune would just get everyone cheering and boppin about
nice to have a change in pace
That was slick and a good tip.
Real nice slick mix mon!
That was good!!
Brilliant! Gotta try this!
that my friend, is what i like to call sexy dj:ing!
Clever Son.. VERY Clever!
