Contrary to what is said to be the norm (harder stuff being easier to mix), I find prog / house the easiest to mix, then techno, then trance, and then DNB..

there are prolly 2 ways to look at it..

slower stuff means that changes in speed will be less noticable (to both you and the audience, while harder stuff will be more noticable if it runs out of sync (but then its easier for you to hear that and correct it as well)...

oh well

for me its hard trance. slow trance is harder to mix but im getting the hang of it.

prog is the easiest for me...

Breaks are too fuckin hard for me to mix for some reason.

I think breaks are really easy. Techno is pretty tough. Drum and bass as well, but I don't spend any time with that, so I can't really say.

I don't really see any difference in mixing different genres... it all mixes the same way, essentially. With breaks you just need to match the clap/snare rather than the beat.

Of course I've never really mixed d'n'b or techno so I wouldn't know about those.

true it does all mix the same, but there are some genres which some people find harder because it isn't the structure they are used to. people sometimes have issues with techno because it really can be all over the place, and basslines conflict with beats and can set up sub-rhythms. some tracks are really hard to get your brain to compute. others sometimes have issues with breaks, the beats are all over the place and some people can't grasp the 4/4 rhythm from that.

i think it is a combination of what you are used to, and what you enjoy the most.

i agree, however, breaks are harder for me, not the beatmatching really, i even forgot what it is i do to match them, i just sort of follow the rhythm once both tracks are running, i don't really think of it as breaks or 4x4 anymore, however, when mixing 2 breaks tracks, i've found you have to be meticulous with your EQs, as the percussion can easily clash. i need more breaks tracks so i can practice these transitions...

Honestly, I really havent had much trouble mixing anything. Every once in a while Ill be alittle off and have a problem getting the beats to match up, but normally Im pretty good for a newbie.
