Just finished watching the full video...and aside from the shameless egotistical bull, I gotta say I wasn't amused.


interesting to see a completely different opinion of the video, i for one thought it was a really cool idea, clearly hes not the best dj ever, but hey you know waht, ive never seen a Zabiela dvd like this before :)

Well, Zabiela's mixing generally does all the talking for him.

I heard several corrections when he's trying to mix, and at times it sounds like a mix-mashing of random sounds. Just as I'm about go sink into a groove, he throws something else at me, or kills the track with another track...like okay dude you can mix, now stop trying so damn hard and give the knobs a rest. I guess mixing is subjective, not everyone likes the same thing, but it just seems like he's trying to please his ego not the crowd, totally pretentious.


Exactly my thoughts.

I watched the whole thing carefully. He defienetly got skills but as you said he gets too busy mixing that he forgets the whole package i.e the music. IMO Mixing tracks which their scales don go together is not pleasent. Every track has a unique feeling to it and cutting them down and mixing them the way he did is just akward.

So will I be a super good DJ after watching all parts for 5 times?
