experience?

nice one mate...now do fuck off.

well,people like him,know their records top and bottom,the bpm,when all the breaks come in. If people spin hardstyle or hardcore or gabber...its more simple,since theres more of the kick going on than trance and techno has. So its jsut simple to switch off. It really matters what youre playing i guess. If the two mixing tracks match very well then you could just do a switch off by spinning the other track off to do the whirly scratch effect. Thats what i do alot..

yea dude DinoXpress is right, it comes down to experience and knowing the tracks really well. No need for that attitude.

actually, i don't think it's much about experience. you just have to be aware of what records you have in your bag. like when youre just browsing, checking what to play, you find a record thats right, but youre like "oh, right, i have this, this will work". you should be mixing in a track and saying "shit, this record will go great with this other one" right off the bat.

just keep listening to your collection, and memorizing the names, itll sort you out.

Alot of techno djs that mix "a record a minute" really dont plan ahead that much, they just sort of wing it.

Thats the great thing about techno.

true, but unless you really know your records, are aware of which goes with which, trying to go all out on 3 decks with a record a minute can get ugly.

I think you just explained a part of what experience is.

this is the point in time where I am at in mixing...finding what tracks go together, i spin trance so its kind of harder to find what will sound sweet when you do the transition

I prefer to create mix sets. I killed off my short term memory in college so I don't always remember what every track sounds like. Sometimes when I'm drunk I like randomly grabbing vinyl out of my crate. It usually sounds pretty good, but the transitions don't sound as good as they could if I would sit down and practice them out.
