Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion "W.A.P." w/ Leslie Brathwaite In this Puremix exclusive video, renowned mixer Leslie Brathwaite takes you behind the scenes of his work on the hit track "W.A.P" by Cardi B featuring Megan Thee Stallion. Leslie shares key insights into his mixing process, discussing the nuances of handling such a high-profile collaboration between two dynamic artists.
Watch as Leslie breaks down:
The Clean Version Approach: Leslie emphasizes the importance of crafting a compelling clean version due to the song's explicit nature, allowing a different perspective on mixing techniques.
Balancing Two Stars: He highlights the challenge of pleasing both Cardi and Megan in the mix, ensuring both artists' vocals are equally important.
The Power of Communication: Leslie discusses the communication dynamics with other engineers, notably sharing how he coordinated with Jason Joshua, who mixed Megan's vocals.
Mixing in Unique Spaces: Due to life during quarantine with his daughters at home, Leslie chose to mix the song in his truck and discusses how he made it work.
Focus on Instincts: He explains the significance of trusting your instincts during the mixing process, opting for a quick, feel-based approach rather than getting bogged down by technicalities.
Subtle Adjustments: Leslie demonstrates how small EQ adjustments can enhance vocal clarity and presence, particularly on Cardi's and Megan's contributions.
Ear Candy Elements: He points out the importance of adding ear candy—little details that enhance the track's overall sonic texture and excitement.
The Role of Samples: He reveals the creative decisions behind modifying the original sample to fit the clean version, ensuring it maintains its rhythmic feel.
Final Touches: Leslie shares his last-minute adjustments and how he keeps the mix cohesive before sending it off for mastering.
Join Leslie in this fascinating deconstruction of a cultural phenomenon as he guides you through the technical and artistic choices that shaped "W.A.P." into a chart-topping hit single.

Discover the definitive way to learn to DJ like a pro...
THE ALL-NEW COMPLETE DJ COURSE
It's helped thousands of DJs to learn the craft and fine-tune their skills for nearly a decade. Now the completely remade, updated and improved Complete DJ Course brings this game-changing training bang up to date for 2024
THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU IF...
You're returning to DJing after a break, or you've always wanted to do this but somehow never got around to it, or you're already DJing but you want to make sure you're doing it right, it's perfect for you. You're going to improve so much by applying these steps in your DJing.
Likewise, if you've found our website, our free training videos, or our social content useful, this course is your natural next step. As a definitive training course, a constantly growing reference guide, and a complete "bible" of how DJing is done today, it's something you’ll hugely value having by your side to refer back to again and again in the years to come.
Of course it goes without saying too, if you're completely new to DJing, and have no idea where to start? Stop looking! This is the course you need.
The course works with ANY software and ANY hardware - again, doesn't matter if you're using Serato, Rekordbox, Traktor, VirtualDJ or any other software platform, and whether you're using a controller, a standalone system, pro gear or even record decks. It's for all brands, including AlphaTheta, Pioneer DJ, Denon DJ, Rane, Numark... and all the others. (Not even got a clue what to use yet? No problem - we'll show you.)
HOW I DISCOVERED THE FIVE-STEP FORMULA...
In my career as a pro DJ, I played 1000s of gigs, including for U2 in Dublin, at Privilege in Ibiza (at the time the world's biggest club) and for Ministry of Sound. Throughout, I always puzzled why some DJs "made it", and some didn't.
I saw DJs with awesome music who just couldn't master mixing. DJs who had all the tricks, but who bored the hell out of their dancefloors. And DJs who I honestly thought were brilliant, but who got overlooked for "lesser" DJs.
When I compared those DJs with myself, and with other successful DJs, I started to realise that there were five big areas that DJs had to succeed in - and that if they neglected just one, it was game over before they'd even begun!
But most interestingly, I also discovered that a DJ doesn't need to be AMAZING in all of the areas to succeed - just knowing what they are and working deliberately on them is enough to improve, rapidly!
When I first revealed all of this in my book Rock the Dancefloor! in 2016, it was all very new, but it’s since helped 1000s of DJs understand what they really need to do to improve.
FROM BOOK TO COURSE...
As soon as we published the book and saw its runaway success, I knew I needed to do more - that a book was actually only the start. People started to ask me if there was a course to teach them the steps in the book, to help them to implement them.
People wanted to be able to work through the steps with me, to be shown them as if they were looking over my shoulder, to be able to ask questions directly to me - in other words, to actually be TAUGHT how to do this stuff by me, instead of just reading about it.
Launched back in 2016, The Complete DJ Course was our answer, and it changed forever how DJing is taught. Its enduring formula "just works", and it has since helped many thousands of DJs to play like the pros. Maybe it's no surprise how many others have tried to copy it.
But now it's back, completely remade, updated and improved for 2024, alongside the already global bestselling second edition of my book. This is your chance to own the All-New Complete DJ Course, the definitive guide to how DJing is done today. |
