How do you know???
Ok... I have been mixing latlely and I noticed that about 60% of my records are un-mixable. How do you know what vinly to buy? How do you know the beats will match?
Either your not beatmatching correctly, or your BPM ranges are too different. Some songs have a base BPM thats higher than the max pitched BPM of some other songs.
Keep trying. Assuming your buying trance, there shouldn't be a reason why the beats aren't matched up other than the fact that your not doing something right.
Maybe you are beatmatching them correctly but the problem might be the Harmonic mixing you do .
Hope it helps

Thats the bit that takes practice and a long while to understand...
Any fool can pitch two tunes together- the art of mixing and programming is slightly harder....
Certain tracks may seem impossible to mix, but that is usually not the case. It takes a bit of experience and experimenting on your behalf to get the hang of mixing certain tunes a certain way in certain situations. Keep in mind not all tunes are gonna be mixed in the same and you may need to eq or cut different on the mix to make it sound good. Keep practicing, it will come over time.
Know the tunes inside and out, their beat structures, intros, breakdowns, etc and like other ppl here said, make sure they dont clash harmonicaly.

sometimes i feel like i have alot of music but not alot of stuff that goes together because i end up buying a bunch of stuff spread across a few genres. like i can make songs go together by getting them going the same speed and butchering them together but thats not cool. i find records that i like and buy them, and now i have a hodge podge of progressive, tribal house, trance, and cheese. all i can say is keep buying records and you'll increase the amount of songs that you have that go together
Nothing is unmixable as said, but you gotta learn how to choose your tracks.
I Mean say you play Pulser - My Religion and then all of the sudden you decide to drop a track by tony de vit, you will never be able to beat it good because the tony de vit track is much faster, you need to select tracks with similar BPM ranges.
And also select tracks which has the same beats or a beat thats just a little different but still similar, and in this way you can progress your sets into all kind of directions.
Its recommended to listen to the tunes youre gonna play before you record your set, thats what I do and so far I had no problems with my mixing or beatmatching, I mean a trainwreck is gonna come sometimes but if you order your tracks carefully and choose the right BPM you should have no problem.
