    One of the most important parts of mixing psytrance is creating an atmosphere. Make sure your set is smooth and nothing sounds abrupt or out of place. Slow and precise EQing is king here. People will be on drugs and dance for hours. Especially on smaller raves. It‘s not about getting as many sick drops in but getting into the flow. If everyone is dancing like crazy then let the 9min song run the whole length. You can also add live elements like synths that play simple melodies/arps. Especially in progressive psy there is lots of space for adding things like that. Go crazy with effects as well. I found that combining a flanger with the highpass filter really gets the alien sound of psytrance. Add both and increase the amount/cutoff slowly for at least 30 seconds before turning both off at the begin of a phrase. Then the bass just hits really hard. Really liked the tutorial man. Lots of good tips!

    Early-Mid mix teasing is also a wonder technique that i use frequently. Then mixing through breakdowns and buildups to the drop also gets the crowd curious about incoming mix when they hear the tease of the next track early on.
  • Hey Andrew! I took your basic and advanced DJ courses and I just wanna say wow like for real, I had little DJ experience but in 2 weeks my mixing skills have sky rocketed and I’m djing with almost no visuals! Amazing, much love & respect for you!
  • You are such a legend, good on you playing some full on psytrance ! Now I would love to see a progressive psy !

You have such a great positive energy that after watching some of your stuff, I directly have to stand up, jam and try out your tips! Thanks a lot for what you are doing and please keep going! You are a gift for the world ❤️

    Andrew you’re a legend. This man must be protected at all costs!!!!
  • It's a small thing, but it's clever how you kill the volume fader on deck 2 when the master track dips in volume @4:35, and then you bring it back right after. I'd never thought about doing that before, but I definitely will do in the future to help to make drawn-out transitions cleaner.

    I don't leave comments really ever. But I'm just getting into mixing and watching the random videos and found you and just love your approach and your enthusiasm. Will be watching more and taking your courses! thank you.

    Great tutorial, and great techniques. I've ittle by little started to DJ again after over 10 years of hiatus, and it really feels like learning to walk again. Probably also because my taste has widened a lot over the years, and I'm switching up genres a lot more now. Anyways, great video, thanks!
