'keys' ?

hey all...
ive been mixing for about 3 months now and my beatmatching/cueing is getting there but i find some vinyl dont go with each other no matter how good the beatmatching/cueing is.
I was told its called 'keys' and its basically finding tracks that flow well with each other? as some tracks simply do not go well with others no matter how well mixed. is this true? and if so, could someone explain it in a little more detail?

I presume when you say "keys" you will be meaning the note of the bassline etc when you are transitioning between your two tracks.Out of key notes can be your worst enemy,or,your best friend.Lets say we had two Tunes with the basslines in the same key,As an example here are two tracks as your first tutorial:

Binary finary: 1999 (Gouryella remix)
Dj tiesto:Sparkles (Transa remix)

Now those two tunes mixed in any order to each other make a gorgeous mix.If you are going to mix from binary finary,Drop sparkles in at The point where the main riff finishes for the last time,then blend slowly to sparkles,and when binary finary's beat ends,kill all of its bass and center sparkle's bass.The bassline of the second track will drop in and it will sound like the same song.Here,i went and done the mix on my decks for ya there,so you can see what i mean,ill post another example of an "out of key" mix in about an hour.And yeah i know the beatmatching should have been alot better,but you get the idea.

i found Mohawk - Previous Years (Original Mix) and PPK - Resurrection (Space Club Mix) also mix together quite well like those two tracks...

Also Yanny amd Gollum - Shadows & Lights and Bassraiders - revolution (fantasy mix) seem to have exactly the same samples/instruments used in parts of the songs, weird

try sonorous - glass garden, riva - stringer

they are the same key

you can play the entire two tracks together and it sounds beautiful

someone can rip off my idea for a synergy

maybe that's because Gollum IS Bassraiders

@ sektile: we had a thread a while ago called "harmonic mixing" or something like that...the info is all there. The problem is, I'm such a music retard that I'm completely unable to identify the key of my tunes...I'll have to take some piano lessons
