Nice one, I did a similar mix recently from Exactly into Lift. Something about that type of bass that lends itself very well to that type of mixing. |

the hard cut: I would say use it sparingly.
PvD does way too many hard cuts in my opinion, mainly because he has to given that every other track is an explosive 'banger' and they sound like on top of eachother. I think it tears a set apart and makes it predictable.

there's a reason why pvd does so many hard cuts. he mixes many more tracks in a same period of time than other trance dj's do. listen to his livesets carefully and u'll just hear track after track after track. listen to someone like Markus Schulz or armin (not so much as markus) and many times you'll just hear beats on top of beats on top of beats before finally the bassline drops in once again.
i tend to try and follow the same idea Nem pointed out of trying to avoid having just beats on top of each other. my main goal is to always have basslines transitioning into other basslines or long sound effects sweeps which lead to bassline drops. many times i even have the incoming basslines riding quietly underneath outgoing basslines as well. this helps to ensure the energy is always transferred and continues to chug along. this could be a bit risky at times if the melodies don't exactly match up but thats what i always try to train my ear for.
*edit*
of course this quick transitioning i usually stick with trance, techy, electro or big bassline type stuff. when i'm doing prog house i go for the smooth and buttery... :p |

since i am way too lazy to shift around everything in my room to hook my mixer back up to the PC... i tracked down an old set of mine. this has to be over 2 years old.
in any case, here's a sample of a quick cut i did. back then, i wasn't as spot on with my beatmatching as i would have liked, but i think this illustrates the point quite nicely.
etsche into acid lullaby
the point of this cut was to utilize the natural break in the track. at the beginning, the outgoing track is alone. a few seconds in, i faded in my next track (you'll notice the hihats). i let it play over the outgoing track for a bit, waiting for it's intro break to come. when that was over, since i knew a big acid bassline was coming in, i slapped my faders into their respective places. |

Trancemusic isn't made for quick transactions, the music aren't made in that way. So your wrong in that sentence. |

| Hey Kane did you do that mix on cdjs? I used to do mixes like that all the time with vinyl but I find that on cdjs they dont give as much and for some reason my fast mixes dont seem to sound as good as they did on vinyl.. not sure if it's because they're more digital or.. *shrug* |
