Anyone else had a difficult time with this particular track, and were actually able to find another track that worked well with it?
What are you playing on?
I used to just use an 8 beat loop on a CDJ 800 at the beginning of the tune and mix using that. It was almost always a relatively quicker transition too - it's definitely a rough piece of music to mix, especially you want to get those stabbing synths in the beginning, but if you just practice I'm confident you'll figure it out. I've definitely wrecked it quite a few times, but once you get it down it's boat loads of fun to mix.

I'm using Serato with a pair of Tech 12's. So, I can definately do the looping at the beginning (something I definately haven't tried yet). All I've tried thus far is smooth transitions in from the last track and those awkward stabs make it sound like a trainwreck from hell (even when beatmatched perfectly).
I thought of taking Desyn's approach and bringing the track in from about the 2 minute mark of the track and on, but just haven't devoted that much time to it yet.
Now with that tip, I'll definately give it a second chance. Thanks.
