Originally posted by Project-K Planning is key, and having a varied and comprehensive music collection helps alot too. If all you have are hard driving tracks at 130-135bpm you'll never manage to make your sets progress. You need variety.

This is the thing, I do have a very varied selection of tunes, but since no-one has ever left we with any feedback on my track selection or mixing (even though my sets are downloaded a lot), I can't tell if I'm going down the right path (you can access my mixes in the sig below if you just want to see the tracklistings).

My music goes from 115bpm right up to 155bpm and covers many EDM genres - I also like to cross genres slightly within the same mix, and I'm thinking that that migth be whats making it a little harder to structure correctly.

It's much easier to structure a mix where all the tunes are of the same genre or sound similar.

crossposts. You meant battle. Practise more. If you've been asked to play trance, don't play dancehall.
