considering that your other thread on this page is titled 'basic mixing question', i would recommend that you just keep practicing until you think youve practiced enough. then practice some more.
also, check out the sticky threads in the dj booth for some good info.

Sometimes with Whitelabels or even regular prods you can get some really dodgy cut and paste style edits that can screw you up.
Also if the hole in the vinyl isn't in the centre can also have an impact.

Rip that problem vinyl track onto MP3 and upload it and I can check the bpm for drift at several points along the length. Can do it to within .01 bpm.

i don't notice the pitch speeding/slowing, it just seems to have a weird timing signature that is really difficult to match or something - it's too fast so i/ll slow the deck down and then adjust the pitch the minutest amount and it's suddenly way too slow.
are there any production factors that could make a song just not fit with anything else?
Ah sorry mate, must have had a bad record as I have mixed both sides out loads over the years. There is always one. It came out digitally again recently on Beatport. Tell you what hit me up and I'll send you a copy of it for free to say thanks for buying it and sorry for the problems.
I bet he's been waiting for that response since 2006.

Lol, that's fucking amazing. Guy gets his answer 8 years later.
TA will never die. It's like that supercomputer from Hitch Hikers guide to the galaxy where they ask it the meaning to life and it tells them to come back in 100 years for the answer.

Some tracks that sample grooves Or are programmed that way will inherently clash. Drummers would typically play the hihat a little ahead of the tempo if they wanted the groove to feel rushed. So you feel like the tempo is quicker than it is. It will never feel locked.
I doubt varying bpm is the issue because most djs are riding the pitch and this wouldn't really offer much challenge for anyone thst has been djing a year +
I would just exchange kicks with the bass eq and then the mids and highs 8/16 bars latter. You aren't going to be able to ease anything in or out so just be intentional and focus on things that people will notice.
