Recently I played a gig in Southern California where a really nice fan came up and gave me a collection of his favorite sounds and samples for beat juggling. The sounds were great, but the only problem was that they were all single hits. With most dj software (except Ableton) you really need a collection of hits in one single file (like a scratch record) for cue point juggling. So, to pay it forward, I collected a few of my favorites, compiled them into several mp3s designed to be dropped over tracks and you can download them for free after the jump!
With 8 cue points, some good buttons and a few effects you can really transform a single Dj deck into a very playable instrument. Check out this live mix from San Francisco that I just recorded last Wed. You can hear me working in a few of the sounds form the sample packs bellow into the mix in a few specific spots @ 18:42 and 26:00.
Ean Golden – Live Set – Recorded in San Francisco (Dec 15th 2010)
[audio:http://djtechtools.com/audio/sample/Ean%20Golden%20-%20Live%20at%20EPR%20in%20San%20Francisco.mp3]I have grouped the MP3’s into 2 groups for your controller playing pleasure:
By Key (With Mixed in Key Tags)
- key of A#
- key of A
- Key of B
- Key of C#
- Key of C
- Key of D
- Key of E
Just drop the file over a similar tagged file and they should sound great.
By Hit Type
- sample set 1
- sample set 2
- sample set 3
Here the hits, crashes, lazers and wooshes have been strategically placed in order based on playback. For example kick type sounds on the one and snares on the 3 with a turn around in the 4th cue position.

Give these files a go, in a future article I will cover how to get the most out them sonically using simple mixer and effects tricks to create a variety of voicings.
HELLO
Sorry to boder you…the zip file it is not there…could u please repair the link for a loyal follower? Thanks anyway…
I know it’s way too late… But does any body happens to have the audio file? The link is broken and I can’t find it anymore. I really liked this set but I lost my music. Please upload it again.
And 18:00 is Porter Robinson – Say My Name
25:00 is Afrojack – Pacha on Acid
Hi from Scotland! I was listening to the mix. Very nice, loved it, only Sandman was a bit lame, the other song (sorry, I dont know it) was too high and too random on it, but hey, I dont know anybody who can mix Metallica so that is sounds, apart from some very specific songs. My recommendation is try to use Pulling teeth instead what is very nice bit to play with.
I absolutely love the style you have, it is very entertaining and a lot better than most of the ”Top” dj’s and electronic music gurus simply because one can not predict what is going to be next thing one will hear.
One thing what I would like to say is please try to avoid too fast speed change on same song, it irritates a bit.
I am listening to this and… man, sweet! Pendulum just get in, this mix is so awesome!!! 🙂 I hope to c u in live!!!
Thank you for what you do!
Song starting at around 32 minutes?
thanks for this….Ean you’re my professor of DJing.
[quote comment=”41835″]Anyone know the names of the track Ean starts cue point juggling at 10:45 and gets real heavy at 11:50?
And also the track at 20:10
Thank you![/quote]
the track @ 10:45 is latin fever – wolfgang gartner, not sure about the others
cheers mate!

Thanls for the samples will go a long way for me in the future
[quote comment=”41835″
And also the track at 20:10
Thank you![/quote]
Kid Rad – Over Again (Crème Prulée Remix)

ehy thanks man !
The zip file works fine now! Thanks who ever fixed that 🙂
me too, i was so excited too 🙂 please, admins, make the link work again pls
btw, merry x-mas everyone =)
When I download the zip file I get the unexpected end of archive error. There’s nothing in the samples folder just one of those .DS_Store mac files.
This makes me sad 🙁
Truly a cool gift for christmas, thanks a billion
Hey Ean,
A tracklist for the mix would be great! Thanks for the controllerist pack! Can’t wait for the traktor update with sampling functionality, but until then does anyone know of any standalone programs that work with midi controllers (or even just a keyboard) to play samples?
Thanks DJTT

I went to see Ean Golden playing his gig in Costa Mesa and he was amazing he did awesome mix and I was right next to him on the end of his set we talked little be was very nice of him my dream came true, he is very nice professional person. This what happened before I was going to the club I burned the cd and I put in my back pocket on my jeans when I got to my car to seat the cd broke I was like OMG this didn’t happen the cd was broken. I was kinda late drove to the club got there on the time had the best time on my life watching Ean Golden spin he’s my idol was great no words he is fantastic. After he finished his set he started play with Charles FeelGood together so I thought hes gonna be here still, so I went out the club got the stamp to get back drove to my home and burned new cd and then went back to the club. When got back there Ean was there so I came up and gave the cd for him so I made this happen and u guys can realize with little things u put work on it can be turned to AMAZING thing. Thanks so much Ean Golden who made a revolution on the Dj Scene and thanks for everything u done for us.

Set is LEGIT … thanks for the pack DJTT midi controllers ftw!
Nice. Classic DJTT post.
uhm. not passing judgement with just a quick browse through these samples but it seems like 95% of them were taken wholesale from vengeance sound packs with no additional fx, as many of those sounds are easily recognizable. nice gesture but….
Thanks DJTT!
download working fine btw
he is truly golden
Ohhh, I sense some arcade button infused juggling goodness!
Thanks for the samples 😀
Thanks DJTT Im gonna have to order a midi fighter to go with it!
Epic ;¬D
sorry guys, those links were acting up. I put everything in a zip file and that seems to be working well now.
Sorry, but most of the links take me to previous pages of the DJ Tech tools site.
Using Firefox and Windows 7.
First link seems to have been fixed…..
This is great, thanks Ean! Can’t wait to try these out.
I love this site.
I’ve got an error on trying to open the ‘Big Fankie’s Disco’ set though. What have I done wrong….?
