Hi, I'm Chris! I analyse real DJ libraries to expose the prep mistakes that make DJs freeze on the decks, and teach decision-first systems that make the next track obvious under pressure.

Answering a simple question about your music shouldn’t be this complicated.

Tomorrow I’m showing you a more natural way to explore your library.

I'm sharing the full details on the newsletter tomorrow at 5pm UK.

🎉 Happy new year everyone!

I've been using the down time at this time of year to finally get on with editing some CDJ focussed videos I've had in the backlog for a while. I'm planning to drop those throughout Jan so keep your eyes peeled.

It always brightens my day when you guys reach out to say that something on this channel has helped you rethink your approach to your music or helped your DJing improve in some way. 

It makes all the effort involved in making them worth it 🚀

If we make it to 50k in 2026 I will make one nice comment about Tech House in a video.

Thanks for watching!

OneLibrary promises the shared DJ library we’ve all been waiting for, but I’ve already spotted some red flags 🚩

I'll be breaking them down in a few hours on the newsletter:
