DJ Spider Part

Bringing up a little sound right here. Basically, you know, it's just two turntables and a mixer connected to both and uh 10 years of practice. You know, you just put one hand on the record and one hand on the cross fader and decide when the sound's gonna come in on beat. Right there you can hear yourself. Got a little sound going on. Hold on to the record and then uh you're gonna decide when it comes in and out with that on beat. There you go. Killing it. Nice.

So this song's 135 beats per minute and I know something around there will mix in with it and I try to think creatively and musically and put it all together. Go according to the crowd.
