Start harmonic mixing today with Mixed In Key: https://mixedinkey.com/?c=bennett

Harmonic Mixing is when DJs create smooth, satisfying transitions between songs by selecting tracks that are either in the same key as each other, or in closely related keys. But how do the DJs know which keys are closely related? Well, the same way that musicians do... with the Circle of Fifths! But DJs have their own name for this music theory tool, the "Camelot Wheel". 

Thank you to all the DJs I talked to to help inform this video, especially Yakov.

Lennon had a simple but very effective style at the piano, and there is one blues-inspired move that he often made when sat behind the keys.

60 years ago today The Beatles released an album that would not only signal a whole new direction for the band, but ultimately a whole new direction for music. So today we are going track by track diving into how the Beatles wrote and recorded what is widely considered to be one of the most important albums of all time.

What can I say about ABBA that hasn't already been said? The combination of Benny Andersson, Frida Lyngstad, Agnetha Fältskog, and Björn Ulvaeus (and, behind the scenes, Michael Tretow) were, for a time in the '70s, an unstoppable juggernaut of disco-infused pop. With some of the most polished productions in music history, ABBA's music has meant different things to each new generation, but it's never gone away. And though their catalogue is rich with gorgeous singles, none captured the public imagination quite like Dancing Queen.

The early '90s were a wild time. Rock was coming out of the age of hair metal and arena rock, and into... well, it wasn't quite clear yet. Grunge was on the rise, hip-hop was breaking out, metal and punk were both driving themselves deeper into underground scenes, and dancing around the fringes was a weird little movement of happy-go-lucky jam bands. It's that last one we're interested in today: The upbeat funk-rock fusion of the Spin Doctors stood in stark contrast to the prevailing narrative of harsh reality, and their music offers a glimpse into a compelling alternate history... Eh, y'know what? This is all too serious. I'm just here to talk about Two Princes. Let's get weird with it.

How do we know how modern music came to be? We tell stories and imagine clear evolutions, but the process of cultural change is rarely simple enough to track with such straightforward tools. And yet we find them irresistible. The stories of the great innovators of centuries past, who laid the foundation for the modern musical world, have echoed throughout history, and they're great stories, but what do we do when we don't know what's true? One of the greatest figures in European music history is Guido d'Arezzo, the famed inventor of modern solfege... Maybe. It's actually a lot more complicated.

More than any other genre, emo music, along with its close cousin pop-punk, captured the bizarre, directionless angst of adolescence in the early 21st century. Stuck in the shadow of global events we were too young to really understand, with new information technologies exploding our social networks, a stage of life that has always been confusing and disorienting was made even more so by the unique circumstances of the era. Emo spoke to that confusion in a unique way, making sense of the senselessness by embracing the duality of teenagehood, where everything is so important but nothing really matters, and that ethos can be found not just in its lyrics, but in its rhythms as well. Let's talk about half-time.

Gotye. To my generation, that name causes an almost pavlovian reaction, conjuring up a simple guitar loop that all of us heard thousands of times and could recognize from multiple rooms away. But what made Somebody That I Used To Know so infectious, and more importantly, why did we never hear from him again? Gotye is a mysterious figure in the history of 21st-century pop, but much of what makes him such a unique artist is on display in the one song that made him famous, and I think it's time I took a look.

Recently, I got called out. Or, ok, not called out exactly. More like tagged in. Another music youtuber, Michael Jesse, made a whole video about this bizarre mystery surrounding Linkin Park's Breaking The Habit, but he couldn't come to a satisfying conclusion, so at the end of his video, he asked for my opinion. Like, me, specifically. A lot of people forwarded the video to me and there seems to be a lot of confusion, so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to not just solve the mystery, but show how I attack these sorts of problems in general!

The New Wave movement is a fascinating cultural moment to me, with new technologies merging with older practices to create some truly weird and wonderful music. But within that scene is the Neue Deutsche Welle, a specifically German take on the genre that grew up in a country living more than most in the shadows of the Cold War, and perhaps its most famous members were the band Nena. A surprise breakout hit that crossed language barriers to rise up the charts, 99 Luftballons is a fun, accessible piece that still manages to tell a very personal and important story of the struggles of living in West Berlin, surrounded on all sides by Soviet forces. Even if most people who heard it didn't know that's what it was about. The blending of exciting, upbeat synthpop with dark, dangerous stories is a staple of New Wave, and few songs do it better than 99 Luftballons.

The history of metal music can be broken up into a couple distinct periods, and the early '80s saw the beginning of one of its most important phases. The Neoclassical movement would become one of the most influential ideas in metal, with its focus on elaborate, technical guitar work making it a clear forebear to subgenres like tech death, djent, and mathcore, and leading the charge was a young virtuoso named Randy Rhoads. Though his career was short, he left an indelible mark on the genre, and decades after his passing, he remains one of the most important figures in metal history. Let's look at some of his solos to see why.

The Lost Genius of Randy Rhoads
Check out my next video on Randy Rhoads solos: https://www.patreon.com/12tonevideos

It's hard to pick just one song to pay tribute to the Prince of Darkness: With a career spanning over 50 years, Ozzy Osbourne has touched so many lives and made so much incredible music. But to me, and to a lot of metal fans, his greatest works were set in motion in 1979, when he met his greatest collaborator, Randy Rhoads. Though the two of them worked together for only a few short years, their innovative collaboration helped change the face of metal forever. Even among just those couple albums, there's so many great songs to choose from, but the one that best captures who Ozzy was to so many of his fans has to be Crazy Train.
