generally a transition to jungle or DnB is much easier after mixing from trance (or tekno for the higher bpm) to breaks, then to the jungle/DnB, and from there hardcore usually mixes well, or fast tekno or happycore. Beatmatching all the way :)

After a while you get to pick up a number of 'tricks' to seemlessly increase/decrease the pitch by large amounts without people noticing it or making the track slurr

I beg to differ.
If you are spinning a hard set then yes, it may be bad to mix down tempo in. However if you are playing more of progressive trance set, I think that Drum and Bass can be mixed in. I know me and Prodigy Child messed with it one night and I personally liked how it changed up the mix. But maybe it is just personal preferance??

Hmmm... I can see this topic getting a little abstract... just realised, you guys seemingly being more into the proggy sound would also go for Drum and Bass of that nature. Drum and Bass for me is hard and dark. Otherwise it becomes ambient drum and bass (well in my book at least) but rather than get into a category discussion which could last for a 1000 years or more I think we will drop that part he he

From my experiences of travelling around the globe as a DJ I have noticed that people outside Europe are more greatful for changes in music i.e. a DJ that drops all sorts where as in Europe people tend to go for a particular type of sound and want it to stay that way.

Perhaps it's because the Europeans are so spoilt for choice compared to a lot of other cultures with regards to dance music. While careful not to forget house music is an American idea.
I suppose in reality when I use the term Europeans it really means the Brits, Belgians, Dutch and the Germans... well at least with regards to trance music anyways.

Guess it's not something really worth going into deep for as it's a personal thing.

(On a side note, you would empty a dancefloor in the UK if you did that, play D n' B with trance I mean )
