Was told by an old boy who'd been mixing since mid 70s If you can count 1,2,3 4. You can mix.. The only real hard part is splitting your brain in two. Then work out out which track is ahead .... or behind. Thats the real skill. Personally I'd advise beginers to start on E.D.M typical tracks of 127 bpm are easy to start off with.. A good one is have 2 copies of same track and start of together till one drifts then practice bringing the slow track back "in". Sadly many give up LONG before they "Get it". Its like driving one day it all drops into place.. Great work fella except for the Bernard Breslaw impression..👍👍👍👍👍👍

fish n chips, rice krispies, beans 'n' smarties. can I get the acapella of that. Please.

***** Who wouldn't.

Hope you sorted things out with being able to see your kids, my parents divorced but I'm thankful my mum didn't start any of that shit with me, 10 years later & I'm doing fine! Your a great DJ and teacher man, watched too many of your vids & your literally my inspiration & guidance to get away from just letting my eyes & the computer program do the work, I've came on leaps & bounds thanks to you & it's been less than a week, so thanks bud & the best of luck! Also do you do any music production yourself or do you just DJ

"I love all my kids. From the bottom of my heart". Right in the feels.

I'm 16 and my parents got divorced when i was 4, i live with my mum but i can't imagine how bad my life would be if i didn't see my dad every saturday. the amount of things I've learnt from him and he's helped me with are uncountable. I wish you the best of luck with your kids, you deserve it and from the ammount you've taught me I can't begin to imagine how much they have to learn from you... all the best, Charlie

That Pryda track gave me chills. Thanks for the lesson! Also, I hope all is well with you and your children!!!!!

Tuning into this 8 years later and just wanna say great video, but more importantly, Hope everything turned out well with seeing your kids. Agree 100%

Fucking right you have the right to see your kids!

Dude, I'm from India by watching your vids i have started to learn a lot abot Djing....................keep up the good work !!

I love his passion for things and you can see how he cares for djing and is also bringing in his everyday life at the same time. I feel for him

Ellaskins, your videos have helped me heaps over the past year on learning to DJ. You are a true inspiration and you should be allowed to see your children, we can tell you care so much about them!

That just made me smile, I have just handed my girls back after the weekend, and I have sat here In tears, we are only a year into being apart. My love to you. The awareness is so supported by me❤️

I hope you reply to this btw. Firstly let me say your a absolute genius at teaching people of all levels of dj'ing. I personally learnt everything i know from yourself and have went on to have a fruitful career in dj'ing and now production. Ive taught my daughter everything and exactly the same way you shown us all them years ago and she's came on fantastic and is only 19.she can play on multiple formats including vinyl and cdj mainly. I just wanted to reach out to you and thank you personally for all youve done mate. Im not on social media due to me n the mrs having a deal not too so this is the only way i can get hold of you. Thanks so much for everything and keep doing wot u do. Your the future of our past. Take care. Danny and Maci

I remember watching your old video's like in 07 when I didn't have a dj set and had no experience. You have been my professor since then and now I have a set n mix at exclusive clubs in Hollywood. Thank you from the buttton of my heart, you have change my life and you are inspiration! God bless you!!

i just started learning a month ago, how long did it take to start getting good at it? and how would you recommend practicing?

As always a pleasure to learn from you, and dont worry about your kids,, they will find you in time even if they are being stopped at the moment..its just human nature to do so... I still remember your hospitality and warmth as a person when I came for a lesson many yrs ago.....the brown man :-)

This guy is the best. I learnt pretty much everything I know from him and developed it myself. Legend !

my parents are divorced, and i see both of them, and i love it... i really hope you get to see your children again. peace out !

this video had a melancolic feel... I hope you were able to see your kids man. i know this is an old video but i feel for you.

First video I've ever commented on on the tube. Watched many of your vids, top bloke and great teacher. Keep fighting mate and never give up but I don't think I need to tell you that. Good luck mate. Dads get such a shit deal on times.

my mixes are starting to sound better and better, and you know what, it really feels like you enjoy teaching. And it makes me hold on to that knowledge even more and apply it to my mixes. We appreciate what you do mate. Honestly :)

Guys for the love of God, this guys here is helping you guys how to be a good DJ. At the very least help him sign the petition on that is on his description. He has the right to see his children. Thanks

You are great ! Of course like all parents their children. Of course you will get to meet your children. Children are the finest we have. You are a great asset to any DJ's who want to learn different things about being a DJ. Go for it! / DJ Maffe Sweden,

that was the dopest transition ive heard ever

your a legend, not just musically, i can tell theres an underlying issue here involving your children, i wish you all the best with it mate, your heart is obviously in the right place.

I support you that kids have to see their parents anytime coz they are born from both of their parents....no one can stop ...i

if u own a dj school, im sure thousands and thousands of people would want to be your student.. you are really outstanding !

Even tough I'm not from the UK.. i signed those petition like a bawss! We're behind you all the way!!!!

thank you,,bring the very basic foundation of mixing not only beat matching but also sound matching

"Lickable Clinks," I lol'd.

Best video yet especially the end.

Absolute legend .. keep the faith

You are the best! Your vids got me up and going in no time after I bought my DDJ SR. Great and entertaining tutorials! Keep it up. Thanks!

Pryda - Armed, what a wonderful track!

a few that change tempo intentionally: Slo Moshun - bells of ny , Jocelyn Enriquez - a little bit of ecstasy, Planet Soul - set u free (fever mix), Mariah Carey - fantasy (def club mix by david morales)...

Your an inspiration to young people I'm only 18 never DJ but I'm learning ur amazing

pryda-armed what a tune! cheers man!

Omg there's the djs who have it and there's the ones that's dont .. you win that trophy .. show us a updated mix I haven't watched you in about 10 year

Rice Krispies beans and smarties...that's why I love this guy haha

best tutor in the world! and parents SHOULD be able to see children!

nice trick if you late with other tune and yes we all need father it does not matter if its bad or good. i dont have my father and i can tell im not quite good with a living buth im quite good with music tx to your tutorial. you are legendary =)

omg, so effin good. the problem is finding the right music which is SO HARD!!!!!!

an absolutely fantastic video ellaskins !!! Love your style and wit - keep up the good work 👍👍👍

Thanks, for posting this video. I want to learn, how to mix and beat match. Your mixer looks great. I support the idea of children seeing both parents.

also it took me a while back in the day, since i wasn't taught, to figure out that beatless intros, such as that in the remix of Adamski's - killer, still had timing and it was up to the dj to count the beats when matching them with the previous song..It was much easier when you had a structured break to come out of , into a song like Killer...

5:50 on repeat, we are crying !! you're a legend

Id say your a good dad cuz Your a good Teacher..

Thanks... exactly those kid of mixes, done, righ, keeps them on the dancfloor.

Every makina tune slows down and speeds up 😂😂

Love it, thanks from California.. and yes! divorced parents have equal rights to see their children!! Good Luck, Peace!

I'm hitting "like" simply because of the comment about children needing two parents. (And because this is a great vid!)

His so funny he can’t get it out his words he start smacking his head,Get it out son lol 😂

I still watch these videos since 2011

"fish and chips, rice krispies beans and smarties" LOOOOOL had me creasing. what a legend!

Please add your live mixers in at work.....pre lock down. Would love to hear them. Mix tapes please

Thanks for all of your videos man. You're upbeat, down-to-earth and just genuinely out there to get people playing tunes well. It seems like so many DJs these days are protective of their "realm" and don't want to help others improve their stuff - apart from just being pretentious in the process. Again, cheers.

Hope you and your kids are at one together mate! Thanks for the knowledge, your videos are Brilliant

Hi ! Im glad see ur still im business ! Ur video's helped me alot becoming a DJ back in 2007 . After few years brake im buying xone db2 and i will streaming my sets . Big love from Poland . DJ Camil Jays .

You don't need to live in the UK to sign if you are a British citizen, I'm English and live in Germany and it worked!!!

cheers J, this one was really helpful :) and on a subnote "Children need two parents. A father is for life not just for conception!" I couldnt agree more. well done for saying it to the youtube world

haha i noticed the newspaper cutting on thy decks!! GO FORTH ELLASKINS!!!

If you're looking for any advise about djing, software, equipment & stuff don't look no further, with Dj Tutor you can learn everything step by step with ease cause he knows what he's talking about and the experience to do so!!! About the 2nd subject: I think every father & mother should have that permission to see them whenever the occasion and if there's time to do so. Cause otherwise their relationship, love, care and stuff will vanish and when that happens there's no way to sort that out!!

that is a awesome tune

I loved all that. And yes that 07 track is pretty sweet.

U the man I'm supporting u with ur kids all, d way

and i love all your kits as well.

Hi ellaskins, just a note on the parental rights of mothers and fathers. My daughter left her ex to get out of a very toxic relationship. She also left three children with him. Her mental health wasn't in a good place because of various things! Now he did let her see them from the very beginning but then supped her having any time with them at all! My grandkids must be suffering not seeing mum. Using them as weapons is so wrong. I'm sure he's breaking the law by not letting her have access

Fantastic video. I am seeing this quite later than the posting but I do hope you get to see you're children. Good luck bro.

Bells of New York by Slo Moshun slows right down in the middle, Im Ready by Size 9 slows right down in the middle then when it speeds back up its faster than it was to start with.

love the fact you let that tune roll out at the end.. well nice that!

passion man...nice one bro

Thanks for the awesome tutorial. Lots of strength to you during these tough times, I'm really sad to hear of your situation. I'm sure your a good father, as you are a good person too. All the sympathy and positive vibes from Finland :)

AWESOME JOB BRO, I SEEN MANY OF YOUR VIDEOS, AND I REALIZA WHY YOU DJ TUTOR.

the newspaper reminded me about the time BT was looking for her kidnapped little girl.

Hi, just stumbled upon your tutorials, excellent and so helpful. Thank you. If possible I would like to get a hold of the Adamski Killer remix but I can't find this remix in the vid. any chance you can be more specific on the remix. Thanks again.

He is the MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

If you want the exactry song of adamski is "Adamski - Killer (Adamski's 21st Century Mix)"you can not find this on youtube but you can find this only on soundcloud....

You seem to love your kids man.... Fair dues. My dad left me and my family when we were young. We have no relationship now. Love the set up too. Nearly identical to mine, I've the A&h 42 tho

mate thanks so much for this, really given me a good start in mixing, and endorsing a cause I too feel strongly about. Best of luck in all you do x

Great advice. Amazing mix mate! Hope you got to see your kids!

Thank you for the tips, always funny and helpful!

I don't know if anybody mentioned "Manual for Successful Rioting" by Birdy Nam Nam, but the BPM changes around the middle of the song. Starts at 86BPM and changes to 124BPM.

The 8 count never fails, from the major bass point of any song.

"Fish and chips, rice kripies are smarties" . As love your huge sense of humor mate :--D

hello john thanks for your informative vids

i like how john sometimes has hidden messages in his videos thanks jonathan for all of your help I am a dj of fifteen years exp and still watch your vids for tips and tricks excellent work man cheers!!!!!

Your videos are nice, I'm not a dj, but some tricks is useful for me as musician ))

You Rock dude! Thanks for your enthusiasm and willing to help others. I'm not a DJ but producer, anyhow I still enjoyed your video a lot!

3:59 This is why I love this guy...

Coolest guy on youtube. Thanks for making those videos and I hope you don't have problems seeing your kids, cause I'm sure you're also the coolest dad and they wanna see you too.

LMAO @ this 4:02 'at the end of this video check out the lickable clinks " lmao

that bit about rollocks had me creasing ahahhaha

really liked what you did with the echo and scratch together on this one.

Totally agree with what u think on the matter.

Camo & Krooked - History of the future (goes dnb to housey to dnb) WTF (Nadastorm on drugs remix) - tittsworth (electro house to rap stuff back to rnb) Hit the road jack (gary Caos Remix) - Ray Charles (house to original back to house) They are my 3 examples ;)

Astrix - Beyond the Senses (Speeds up from near about 130 to 143 BPM)

Very cool vid I love mixes like that, great sound with the echo, the sound of this throws me back to the movie trainspoting and the theme song from it.

did he say lickable clinks on purpose, you're the no.1 DJ teacher Ellaskins, you taught me about background music for weddings, it worked well.

Massive ups on spinnin' Armed, one of my fav tracks of all time, great tuts man

pryda armed ............nice :)
