Where to get 'extended version' of top40 pop tracks?

hey man appreciate the site but sadly there is a subscription fee , any chance there is something similar but for free? =/

thanks in advance !

Attachment 16658On DJCity quite alot of the top40 tracks have a intro version by DJ "Insert Name here", which basically consist of 16/32 bars of 4 to the floor before and after the main song, i find these quite usefull and will always play these versions out instead of the OG.

Don't get too focused on beat mixing. When you DJ open format/top 40 you need to get creative. Especially because the BPMs are all over the place from 70-160 BPM. Look up some YouTube videos on mixing different BPMs and practice. Beat mixing is only a small part of being a real DJ.

hi guys,


i take it that you guys asking for these extended versions mix mainly EDM types of music were the standard length is around 6-8 mins for a track...

i can see why you would be having trouble mixing the shorter top40 tracks, but it can be done numerous ways without the need of a 30sec intro outro to make its really boring for 1. you and 2. the crowd..

i started of djing Hip Hop & RnB and this was something i had to learn, but i find it has helped me so much now that i play EDM and has made me a better dj...

1. Loop is your friend - most top40 will at least have a 8bar intro without or with miminal vocals, LOOP blend it to the playin tracks chorus... also it dosent have to be just beats you loop... one mix i used to do a lot was loop the intro beat from J-Kwons - Tipsy with a loop on the start of the vocals from the fugees - ready or not - crowd reaction mental, you look like a ledge, bang a kind of live remix

2. Delay Freeze is your other friend - as stated above the delay freeze is a great tool to help transition through your loops, entertain the crowd and tighten up your mix's. also incase your dont know a little gem about the delay freeze i use at top40 gigs is its a great way to move between BPMS. once you have hit the delay freeze, stop the trak you have frozen and start the next, the echo from the frezzze will (on trakor) automatically change to the changed tracks bpm.... very handy way to go from 120 to 95 for example


3. 3rd Deck/sample/remix - if your confident in your ability and you are really struggeling with the lack of intro and outros then utalise a seprate deck, and lay a nice drum loop so you can mix out and mix in a new track.... even a well known loop will do. i use 'arrested developments - everyday people' at times on a loop on the third deck to add a different dimension to a mix. although you have to be spot on with EQ'ing otherwise this sumetimes just makes it all to cloggy to the ears...


All in all, its a great way to improve as a dj and challange yourself so you dont have to realy on 'extended mixes' and once you can do it you will reep the benefits from it yourself. i get tired of listening to dj mixes that are a hour long and have about 8-10 tracks becasue theres only a mix happening in the intro/outro!

Good Luck Guys

i hope this helps

This nails it.
