you have to distinguish between "mixing" and "deejaying".
hard as to "deejay" minimal, but anyone can "mix" anything.
genres like asot effectively come with DJ instruction manuals. |

I find ambient to be hardest. If your tunes don't mesh up well, it'll sound really .
I find techno to be easiest, if it's just straight tune to tune mixing. |

Trance is the easiest. Melodies and progression are built in the tracks themselves. its got a formula. intro build up breakdown build up climax breakdow outro.
Minimal is probably one of the hardest since it consists of layers. Building an interesting pattern of layers is hard to do. |

| Modern trance is the easiest by far because it all sounds exactly the same. It's like mixing a track into a copy of itself. Now try old trance from the early 90s - you've got some ambient intros, short 4-beat long outros, tempo changes, all sorts of weird unpredictable things happening... it's the other end of the spectrum. |

| hard house is by far the easiest u dont even have to line it up correctly on the right beat and it will still sound good |

| Dunno about easiest, but broken beat and 2-step are very difficult due to the different amounts of shuffle and syncopation. You'd have to find a perfect fit in order to make it sound alright. |

What kind of music doesn't consist of layers? |

| What does four to the floor pattern actually look and sound like? Can anyone explain and maybe post a sample? Also, I'm wondering the same for 2-step. |

4-to-the-floor is your typical trance or house kick pattern.
4-to-the-floor is a term used instead of the more commonly used "4/4" which people with actual knowledge of musical theory will know is a bull way to describe it. |

He's being "ironic" to provoke that kind of response. Stealth trolling, essentially. |
