Generally speaking (especially when you're first starting out) you want to be matching similarities within each track & that all comes from analysing as you go. You want to be listening for moods, type of kick drum & percussion, keys, bassline types, quantity of vocals (if any), overall levels of energy etc etc also obviously knowing the bpm helps
An easy exercise is to start with a slow track which features an intro & build a set which steadily increases the energy/tempo until you reach a big climax at the end.
The above is generic, but far from rare & a good place to start
Also don't overlook mixing techniques, as these can have a big impact on the flow of your set.
Three tips...
1. Don't underestimate the value of SILENCE.
2. Don't underestimate the value of SURPRISE.
3. A mistake is NOT a mistake if you learn from it.
Good luck |
