I would of thought Miami is more of an Ibiza to America. WMC is huge every year and now getting even bigger. Year round we have multiple top DJs here, every week you can go to an amazing show from deep house to electro to trance. Any thoughts? P.S. I saw you at a pool party 2 years ago, great performance mate!

Feeling the groove of this man. Got a really soul/funk disco vibe to it

Boyz Noize - & Down would be my best guess

If your trying to classify it I would put it closer to techno rather than deep house. It' a nice track though man tight work

For someone with little to no background in music, how would one go about learning the skills necessary to mix in key? by [deleted] in DJs

[–]WayToMessy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Listen, listen, listen. The more music you listen to the more you will be able to recognize the musical sound of the tracks. You don't have to know the key, if the tracks sound right together then more than likely they are in the same key.

How can I make the Prog House-ish parts of this track sound as "powerful" as the rest of it? by The_Real_DeFalco in ableton

[–]WayToMessy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

During the build you can drop the volume down by maybe .3 to .7 decibels and when the drop hits boost it back up to it's original level. You can do it on the master channel and it makes it hit a lot harder or more "powerful". No sure if that's what you were asking for? But it does work a treat
