Can you Double Drop!
CAN YOU DOUBLE DROP!
The concept of double dropping is you play both chorus's together at the same time. Now I'll be honest this is risky as quite often the chorus is the most intense part of the track so putting big bit on big bit can often sound messy, however that can depend a little on the genre you are playing. So for instance if you are playing banging EDM or tracks where the chorus's have a lot going on, then you may have difficulty getting double drops to work and it may be easier to do what the pros often do and that is either replace the drop completely or mix in after the chorus (both taught in my courses): https://www.clubreadydjschool.com/club-ready-dj-course/
However if you are playing tracks and the chorus's are not too intense (eg: the deeper kinds of house) we can often use the chorus as a platform to do our transition which can be a really exciting way to mix as it is not as common as some of the other transitions most DJs do.
WHAT TO BE MINDFUL OF WHEN DOING DOUBLE DROPS
- Careful that it does not sound too busy
- Map your tracks in advance with cues and find tracks that go well together
- Are the songs in key
- How long will you play both together for
- Control which is the dominant track with your EQ
Now if you are unsure about how and where to map your songs with cues to always assure you play the best parts of each track, I have an introduction to setting cue points video in my free mini course, so check that out here (over 16 free videos to help you get started): https://www.clubreadydjschool.com/free-videos/
If you feel you'd benefit from a more organised approach, then I highly encourage you to check out my full club ready course as the course takes it all to the next level and follows a very cool sequence that's challenging yet at the same time a tonne of fun and every day I am receiving rave reviews from my students, saying their DJ skills have transformed in a big way, in a very short period of time. https://www.clubreadydjschool.com/club-ready-dj-course/

I am receiving so many questions from people getting club shows or wanting to get club shows and they are really nervous about making the jump from controller to club gear and some are even expressing concerns about what genres to play, saying there local clubs focus on more party and commercial music.
A tonne of students have reached out to me in recent weeks letting me know they have scored sets at venues and some of the venues have requested that the DJs play all night, so in this video I will talk about the difference between preparing shorter vs longer sets, the different types of longer sets you may encounter and how to prepare for them so you can potentially make marathon sets a huge success.

The advantages of sync are difficult to overlook: firstly it can take the pressure off new DJs big time, as beat matching by ear gives you more to do and remember and if you don't have to worry about beat matching by ear...
