Does anyone else think this is AWESOME? :)

A video I found of Laid Back Luke recreating "One" by Swedish House Mafia with a loop and pitch fader. I thought it was insane! Thoughts?

...just too long. he should have shortened the loop quicker and started playing "One" immediately.

also, i respect him even for his commercial house remixes (Martin Solveig's "I Want You" is one of my fav's)

I like how the crowd doesn't really know what to do in the vid. Seriously though, he does the whole Seven Nation Army bit and doesn't even drop into it. The concept of plooping intrigues me, but it doesn't seem like something you should do for longer than a few seconds. Seems like a decent way to transition into a track with a dramatic bpm change...just ploop for a few seconds down/up to the new beat...doing it for minutes sounds messy to me.

No

I'm sure some people dig it, just not for me. Years back I watched DJ Dopey recreate Iron Man using the pitch fader on his TT, I don't even like turntable-ism and I though that was cool.

Also, that UMC video is a fucking joke. If you're going to try to show off at least try to do so in tune.

There's nothing to practice beyond what he's doing - you learn where on the pitch control the notes are, dependent on the pitch radius setting, then do it out - section before was just to get the kids hyped, and it worked. A great video.

^that. exactly.

cool idea, but it sounded like shit. Honestly when i saw shiftee make that fucking "plooping" video i thought that was the worst idea EVER, and nobody would ever be dumb enough to try to actually do that... and it still is stupid, but i kind of appreciate the attempt on luke's part.

crap... noise .....more crap .... crowd sounding awesome ..... more noisy crap .... then Benni Benassi ??? WTF? This is why I live in Miami and I've only been to Ultra once for 2 hours. I saw Carl Cox do a mediocre 30 minute set and I saw Paul Oakenfold storm off the stage in the middle of his crappy trance set. The rest of my minutes were spent wandering aimlessly searching for good music. You will not steal my ca$h again Ultra.

I thought it was a great demonstration of his skills, like sure it doesn't fit perfectly into the mix but it still sounded pretty cool and I for one know I would have gone crazy if I had seen it live. I obviously don't wanna hear a set full of just that but for a minute or so it's cool.

I've been playing around with it for a few hours and have it down pretty well. It's not very difficult.

You guys hate on people for just mixing song a into b. Then somebody with more musical talent than anyone on here decides to use CDJs to do shit most of you couldn't do with controllers then it is "shit" mainly because it is a popular song. If you've ever seen LL you know he keeps the crowd going. There is a reason he is a big act

I kinda dug it. He did the beat to seven nation army first, and I believe it would have been better to just go to The Glitch Mob's SNA cover, but I thought it sounded pretty cool and as long as he's having fun and so is the crowd who are we to judge.

All I was believeing was: "get on with it."

But it's nice to see a refreshingly original transition.

It's not difficult - but it takes A LOT of practice. Don't forget, you've got the whole pitch range (+/-8% on Technics) at both speeds (33 1/3 and and 45) - that's a LOT of possible notes! A lot of dance tunes (in fact, tunes in general) only use 3 or 4 notes in their melodies. Find a tune where the notes are within the range of the ones reproducable with a tone (or ploop) and the pitch range on TT's and start practicing.

I'm guessing it was pretty easy to work out - LBL sounded like he'd figured it out that day, while Dexta NAILED every note and tweak and clearly had practiced for hours over a period of (I suspect) months.

Now this is awesome....laid back luke doing that sHm one is shit the concept behind doing it is good but he just can't pull it off, in the couple of mixes that has being posted up saying this mix/trick is amazing need their ear's cleaned out.... isn't there anyone who'd care to give it a try and post there result's?

LL surely isn't another Richie Hawtin or Tenaglia, but he does some cool stuff behind the decks and he's a fairly humble guy. Props.

Laidback Luke has fun behind the decks. Nowadays it's more mainstream/commercial, though he is no slouch.

And also, Pioneer Benelux has had him doing quite some shows with their latest gear for a reason. (Creativity and having fun)

Fair enough, but I really don't believe all of those people were there to see him. I really believe they were more excited to hear a popular song being introduced like that. Some of them might not have even cared who he was.
