How to Use a DJ Transition Edit

Hey DJs,
Just wanted to drop a little how to post on using Transition Edits. A Transition is a song that starts at one bpm and moves to another. This can be very useful especially for open format DJs when you want to take your crowd from a Fast Dance song down to a Hip-Hop track, or vice versa.
To use this kind of edit is fairly simple - lets take DJ AtWill’s - Hypnotize (Hype Transition 127-95) [Clean/Dirty] 

Now as you can see in the title, the bpm starts at 127bpm and goes down to 95bpm. Transitions are built to start changing bpm at 8 or 16 bars, so you will need to crossfade completely out of the first Edit before this bpm change. The Edit will Transition down with hype to 95bpm and now you have pumped the crowd from dance to hip-hop in a unique way.
A great resource for Transitions and Segues is at Just4DJs.net - Transition / Segue

The Dopest DJ Booths on the Web

Some of these are DIY, and some are super custom - check out some of our favorites:

We NEED this Lego DJ Booth shown at Apartment Therapy's site.  Apparently, the original instructions are in German, but if you played with Legos at a kid, you can probably figure this one out.

Or just surround yourself with some sweet, sweet vinyl in your very own, Plattenkreisel, seen here on DJ Rooms' blog.

Simple and modern, this setup from CompactLog gives you three turntables and two speakers.  Not technically a DJ Booth, but still really cool.

The clear lid on this wall-mounted DJ Booth keeps the dust off your precious turntables.

And if you're obsessed with VW Busses like we are, this would make the perfect, portable DJ Booth.

Or you could go with something even more hard-core in the VW Bus category.  Here's what you get when you combine a VW Bus, a tank, and a DJ booth.

If you love old cars, maybe a vintage Chevy would make the perfect DJ Booth (maybe leave the tires on, though, so it's tall enough to actually use).

The Ikea Hackers have the right idea with this DJ Booth creatively constructed from Ikea furniture and accessories.

All your Mid-Century Modern DJ Booth dreams will come true with this DJ booth from EKKO.

 

Here's an amazing, simple and sleek setup from Hoerboard.

Here's a great use for those discarded 1980s boom boxes with dual tape decks.

 

Or you can go with just one. huge. boombox.

Rustic decor?  Maybe you need a DJ Booth made out of wood.  Wood.

And last, but not least, check out this cool pink polka-dot Kate-Spade-Inspired DJ Booth highlighted at The Perfect Palace blog.  That guy looks stoked.

Tips on using the Search Feature!

Our search feature allows you to search for tracks more easily, so you can find exactly what you’re looking for.  The search will return results listed by popularity. 

For instance, if you’re looking for some great remixes of Rihanna songs, you can type Rihanna into the search bar, and every Rihanna track will appear.  If you want to be even more specific – for instance, only DJ AtWill remixes, type, Rihanna "Atwill"  into the search box.

Tips for Using the Search:

• Edits are labeled with key words so you can search for them - type 90s in combination with a producers name and you will find all their 90s Edits.
  

• If you are not getting the results you were looking for try removing words that have a ' in them like Don't some producers label it as Dont instead.
  

If you still can't find the Edit you were looking for Just4DJs.net takes requests! Just send us a email to store@just4djs.net and we will get back to you shortly!
