minimal and trance?

This may seem like a weird question, and I am a beginner, but my library mainly consists of trance songs and minimal songs (as categorized in tech/house and minimal on beatport).

Is it possible to mix these somehow (I know its possible, but maybe its just out of the range of my ability).

Or do I have to just have to keep things as two seperate sets? one mainly techminimal the other trance.

I know how to go about mixing each tracks within each genre, but not really crossing over.

I guess that is where the skill comes in, but does anybody have any recommendations to get in me in the right direction?

anything is possible, you just have to find tracks which transition between the genres well. I often go cheese electro -> harder electro -> elctroish techno -> bongo mania techno -> HANDBAG HOUSE. You could go from house to trance if you wanted, without any problem. whether or not your audience wants to hear trance is another topic all together.

Songs like DNS Project - Inv Touch or Rank 1 - Life Less Ordinary are examples of songs where you could go from electro to trance easily. Find songs like that. In the case of minimal, I guess stuff like gui boratto or aril brikha would be melodic enough to make a good transition.
