Eight easy steps are outlined, including playing the current song, mixing in the next song, and transitioning to the next song's outro section.

• 00:10:00 The first three techniques for practicing DJing are stemming, acapellas, and drop mixing. The fourth technique, drop mixing, is when you switch out the core section of the current song with the next song. This is practiced by mixing Zombies build up section with Song Ace build up section, then switching the volumes as you read Song Ace chorus. Finally, as Zombie plays out, Rekordbox DJ recuses Song A and mixes it in Zombie's outro section. This strategy is then repeated to loop.
