I think you're going about harmonic mixing the wrong way, use it as a guideline not a nessecity, otherwise your sets are going to diminish very quickly in quality unless you're the type that spends ALL of his time getting new tunes, and mean ALL.

Don't pick tunes based on their key, well do it if you want to but not every DJ that mixes in key makes sure EVERY transition is in key, some transitions just sound good regardless.

Good point!!

Also, you can't get EDM in major keys - it's just never done.

well, even though my thread has been shot down and close to dying, i would still appreciate it if someone would list a few songs in each of those keys for me... this wasn't a thread of opinion and i sure as hell wasnt asking for advice. i just had a simple request:

d flat minor and b minor

thanks in advance

It is occasionally...

System F - Out Of The Blue is in Gmaj, for example

But yeah, they're pretty few and far between.

tracks are rarely produced in Major keys, but you will find some every now and then. also as someone already mentioned harmonics are a guideline, not a method.

Yep, some of the best mixes I've done are between two tunes are not harmonically compatible.

You can do this but I respect the talents of the producer to know what key the track should be in

ture, when i remix, i usually leave it in whatever key they originally made it in, its very rare for me to change the key of a track when im remixing it (unless it doesnt go well with my particular synth set or some other technical anomalie)

Usually when they are in a major key they tend to sound cheesy for some reason...

some have argued that minor keys provoke more emotion. harmonics today are actually different than centuries ago...keys are not the same as they used to be in the 15th century, and so on. my roommate tried to explain this to me (his dad is a member of the philadelphia orchestra) and I didnt quite get it but it makes sense how minor keys today would be more emotional as opposed to previously.
