Serato recently caught up with former DMC World Champion, Chris Karns, who’s currently on tour with the Pretty Lights band. The Denver native has been working with the group for the past three years.

Karns discussed how his approach to DJing has changed since joining the band, the various components of his setup, and how he uses Serato DJ. Specifically, Karns explained how he uses the Pitch ‘n Time expansion pack and Ableton Link.

In addition to the interview, Karns put together an eclectic hour-long set for the SeratoCast.

Listen to Chris Karns’ SeratoCast Mix

The legendary DJ QBert once praised Chris Karns as his “favorite DJ in the world right now.” We don’t know Q’s justification, but Karns’ ability to rock parties and go head-to-head with the world’s best turntablists likely has something to do with it. In addition to serving as Yelawolf’s tour DJ, the Colorado native has won a DMC World Championship, multiple Red Bull Thre3style battles, and was a finalist in VH1’s “Master of the Mix” competition.
 
Adding to his already impressive resume, Karns has delivered an hour-long mix for Serato that exemplifies his versatile approach to DJing. The open-format session includes both new and classic tracks, along with creative blends and of course, skilled turntablism.

Eskei83 Drops 60-Minute Mix for Serato

Eskei83
 
Few DJs are able to craft both technically impressive and party rocking mixes. In our experience, it’s usually one or the other. For the latest episode of SeratoCast, this year’s Red Bull Thre3style World Champion Eskei83 achieves that balance once again with a 60-minute mix packed with hard hitting beats, creative blends and skilled turntablism. His SeratoCast comes a month after winning the Thre3style crown in Baku, Azerbaijan.
