The best DJs in the world are creative and differentiate themselves by thinking outside the box. DJcityTV's Tone Play series sheds light on the technique of seamlessly mixing two tracks together by linking similar tones or melodies. The technique itself isn't new but has evolved and become increasingly popular in recent years.
