There is only one style: your own style.
But my style is standard I think: start off slow with some progressive/house tunes, and end with some harder trance-stuff or maybe even techno.
I just mix the tunes that fit well, I don't do much tricks, because I'm not good enough to do them...

Sasha and Digweed are the shit at what they do. Mixing prog takes skill b/c it relies more on subtlety rather than crazy-ass slamming. The mixes are longer to so constant readjustment and bpm matching are essential. It's more like building a mood and shifting ever so slightly (or more)... one big groove.
progressive lifeless????????
what are you listening to?

I like S&D and hard trancers. It's all about time and place. Sometimes I like the deep groove of prog house, sometimes I like the sweet sounds of prog trance and other times like when driving I like the hard in your face trance with more energy then a can of jolt cola. Saying one is boring means you just havn't heard it in the right place and time.

I love S&D's style as I love progressive and just groovin to stuff like that. Problem with Prog that I find with alot of my non-trance friends is that they don't give it a chance. They listen to 10 seconds and go. "Oh that's boring shit" They should sit down and listen to it right through AMAZIN
But I also love the hard slammin stylea all the way to Psy Trance. I love it all and every style ahs it's own way to mix it.
For Prog I generally mix it gradually in so it's harder to recognise song changes, by slowly ajusting EQs etc. I must say mixing prog is piss easy and does get very boring after a while. Just slowly turning those knobs.
And for more bangin style trance it depends on what songs. Some deserve the thrashing changeover and some deserve to be mixed gradually. Generally when I'm listening to a set that is slammin down bangin trance I love to hear the bass line change so I love to just change the bass line at the right spot. Realy gets you going.
Anyway it's up to you whatever you like best just do it.
BTW I love mixing into the intros in Psy Trance. They have the best intros for mixing into! EG MWNN - Vavoom!
Keep mixing it up, don't restrict yourself to one style!
