You took the words right outta my mind...

What is it? MayB something like Hardstyle?

Greetingz,

i think that breaks and some techno stuff is really hard to mix.. hard trance is pretty easy.. its not so much an entire genre thing tho.. more individual to the tune for me

it's kinda hard to beatmatch hard banging dnb

i think breaks are the hardest to mix, matching the beats isnt that hard, but making the transitions on the song sound good is hard. also someitmes from breaks to trance or the other wya around, you get the transfer sounding like garbage

Experimental Jungle is hard to mix

I feel techno is a bit hard to mix. I love mixing breaks with trance and trance with breaks. I find it really easy. Trance and house are easy too. Drum n Bass is a bit hard too BUT that's because I don't spin dnb. Of course, practice makes perfect and whatever genre you start mixing, you'll get the hang of it. Unless your Canadian but thats a whole different story. jk

love ballads and chinese flute music.
hard to hear the beat, and its hard to get the harmonies right.

So you like it hard ey?

Try Hardstyle, I'm sure you've heard of Dana, Isaac en Pavo, Technoboy.

Some good tracks:
Technoboy - Hardrive (Lesson 2)
Marc et Claude - Loving You (DJ Isaac remix)
Brain Ovulation - Kicks and Bass (Acid Step mix)
Deepack - 100%
DJ Zany - Rock the beatz
Hardstyle god - Prepare To Die (Extreme Mix)
Megaphone - H.C.M.F. (B1 Version)

So in the end.....

What is death trance?

Well my experience (which isn't that much though) tells me techno is a bit easier to mix than progressive or something like that.. Just because transitions can be made more direct, the mixes are shorter and more direct, you can use kill switches much easier, and so on. The hard thing about techno is keeping your set interesting and diverse (but I like that.. it's a nice change from my prog records)

Russian speedcore polka is a bitch to spin.

I find that old-skool tribal funky hip-hop jungle can be a bit tricky especially with all those bag-pipes.
Ya know wot i mean?

I would think gabber is more or less impossible to mix, I can just
picture the DJ doing one of thoose "The Exorcist" 360 headturns trying
to beatmatch that shit.

IMO, probably progressive trance..mixed the correct way, not with standard outro-intro mixing. Correctly pulled off.

I would probably have to go with some fast beat country western, thats the hardest for sure...

(seriously tho , jungle)

I'll go with drum n bass, every time I try to throw down a couple of the dnb records I own it basically makes my head spin. I think I'll stick with my funky breaks, thank you...

I think jungle is pretty easy to mix. Hip-hop, at times, is hard. Breaks can be pretty hard. I find it weird how I'm good at spinning jungle but can't spin breaks... eh, oh well. Reggae, that shit would be hard. Or gabber. Then again, who the fuck would spin gabber? I dunno.

I've spun everything from house to hard trance to Breaks to jungle/DnB, even chillout.

Personally I have the hardest time mixing progressive. It's difficult to find good progressive tracks that don't sound really bad when you mix em together, and often times in the middle of the mix its hard to tell which sound is coming from which record, so beat matching is tough. To make a progressive mix be smooth and flowing the way it should be takes true skill, both in track selection and in mixing. So far the only Dj's I listen to that really seem to have mastered progressive mixing are Sasha, Digweed, Max Graham, and a couple others. Often times in their sets they will mix two records for up to 3 minutes straight!

P.S. - My friend and a lot of other Jungle hedz say that Jungle is the hardest to mix, trust me, its actually pretty easy. I have a harder time mixing trance.

They just suck

I KNOW MAN! It makes no sense, But Jungle to me is so easy, but breaks I have a really hard time with. I'd have say that's the second hardest thing for me to mix

Also, I think mixing a 4-4 track out of a breakbeat track is pretty simple, but mixing a break beat track out of a 4-4 is very difficult to do well, anyone else feel me on this?
