You came back to DJing and you're staring at a collection you spent years building, wondering if any of it still works on a modern floor. Maybe the tunes sound dated. Maybe they'll clear the room. Maybe everyone's moved on.

Here's the good news: most of that worry is misplaced. Your old music is one of the best things you've got going for you, and in this video I'll show you why - and how to bring those classics into a modern set without sounding stuck in the past.

In this, the penultimate lesson in our "Returning to DJing: A Guide For Old School DJs" series, we cover which tracks still hold up and which ones honestly don't, how to get old files ready to play on today's gear, and the mixing tricks that let an older tune sit happily next to a current one.
