Genre Specific:
Are you a die-hard Techno fan? Do you just love Drum & Bass, or maybe Hardstyle is your thing! Master specific mixing styles that work best for particular genres. As it’s ever-evolving, you can suggest genres for the team to cover too through our community areas!
Transitions:
As a DJ, you will start to build up a bank of knowledge around how to transition between two songs. The beauty of DJ equipment today is that we can use so many features during the mixing process, from hot cues to looping, effects to keyboard and pitch play modes. This area focuses on specific techniques and ways to transition, so you’re never short of creative ideas when mixing and blending between songs.
Acapellas:
Some DJs love to get creative with acapellas, perform mash-ups, and combine music elements to create unique edits. Learning how to get creative with acapellas can unlock a whole new level of creativity. Mixing acapella’s can go way beyond just layering a vocal over an instrumental. Find out just how essential acapellas can be in helping you stand out as a DJ in this section of the DJ hub! Don’t worry; we will show you where to source acapellas and even learn to make your own!
Sample Switch Up:
Sampling is the art of repurposing music in a new creative way. Did you know Avicii’s Level’s vocal is an Etta James song from 1962? Or that Kanye West has so far used 2596 samples from other songs in his music. Sampling can provide DJs with unlimited creative opportunities to educate their audiences, have fun with music and discover how music develops through the years! This section doesn’t just break down the samples used between songs but incorporate the sample switch up practically into an actual DJ set.
Wordplay:
If you ever dream of winning DJ battles such as the Red Bull Thre3style competition or Goldie Awards pioneered by A-Trak, you need to understand wordplay. Just think, how many songs do you know right now that has the word ‘Love’ or ‘Baby’ in them? These words provide opportunities for DJs to create a link between those songs in multiple creative ways. The team delivers new wordplay ideas monthly for you to copy and learn from and inspire you to come up with your own.
Annotated Mixes:
These are easy to follow mixes with pop up annotations explaining what our team are doing when performing a mix. There are various genres, equipment and styles of mixing covered. These mixes are easy to watch and read on the go, aimed at showing you what happens during a mix.
How I Mix:
In this breakdown series, the Crossfader team watches their performances and mixes to break down the thinking behind them as it happens. It’s an inside look into what is happening during a mix and what the DJ is thinking. The team will highlight any key takeaways and points to think about so you can apply similar techniques to your next mix or performance.
Behind The Mix:
A big part of mixing and performing as a DJ is knowing how to plan your mix. Understanding what techniques to use when and where to transition is vital. You need to understand how mixing for a large audience in a club is different from performing a mini-set on a live stream or recording a mix to promote yourself on YouTube or Instagram. In this section, we go behind the mix to dive deep into the planning and thinking behind these different scenario’s. These are longer-form tutorials that go deep into mapping out your sets and mixes and performing intricate performance-based techniques that can help you stand out as a DJ.
Artist Mini Mixes:
The mini-mix is a short-form video aimed at engaging your audience on social media. It’s an opportunity to show off some skills quickly whilst also providing a simple video that fans can digest! In this series, Lawrence James shows you how he creates DJ tools to perform artist mini mixes. Do you want to learn how to play 8+ songs from your favourite artist in under 60 seconds? Master the art of the mini mix in this section of the DJ Hub.
How To Mix Like:
Have you always wanted to mix like your favourite DJ? Do you wonder what it is they do to stand out whilst performing? Whether it’s technical skills or their approach to the set, we break down individual DJ techniques. Learn to DJ like Jazzy Jeff or DJ Snake. Master set curation and audience engagement like Carl Cox or Honey Dijon.
Challenges:
It’s your time to shine! Each month we provide two songs to get experimental with and create your unique transition. Film yourself, upload to your socials and tag us. We will pick our favourites to share with our audience of over 120k Instagram followers. It’s a great way of engaging with other DJs worldwide and getting inspired by the community, as everyone will mix the same two tracks in totally different ways!
Discussion:
Each week we will add a new discussion topic. Learn from the community through engaging conversations and insights. Share your favourite music of the month with the community, tell us your thoughts on the latest products and join the conversation set out by our team each week!
Career Advice:
Do you want to turn your hobby into a career? In this section, we share our combined knowledge from over 50+ years in the DJ industry. The team has worked as resident DJs, party and event DJs, radio DJs, guest DJs, and everything in between. We all learnt on the job, worked out how to promote ourselves, create lasting impressions and turn our hobbies into a full-time career. It’s now time to pass all this onto you so you can fast track your way to success!

So you’re confident mixing in your bedroom, and you know how to use your equipment inside out, but then you get your first club gig. You’ve never touched a set of CDJ’s or a real mixer before, and now you’re worried! You want to make sure all that hard practice pays off, but how do you connect to CDJs? What does that setting mean, and what if the equipment isn't connected? Arming yourself with as much knowledge of Pioneer CDJ’s and DJM mixers is vital to keeping calm and impressing during those first few gigs.
This area of the DJ Hub features the most comprehensive and up to date information on the latest pro club DJ gear. With a complete walkthrough of CDJ-3000’s, how to connect controllers to club mixers and how to set up using various methods such as HID mode, exporting to USB or using DVS mode, plus a whole lot more. I guarantee even the most seasoned DJs will learn some new tips and hidden features in this area!
Midi Mapping:
Do you own an entry-level controller but want to be able to control more advanced features? Maybe you have an old midi keyboard lying about and want to add this to your DJ setup. With the power of midi mapping, we will show you how to maximise your old gear, add new exciting features to your equipment and make your controller unique to you and your mixing style. Put the features you want right at your fingertips!

We answer all this and more in the music library section of the DJ Hub!
