SETS(connecting songs)
I find it hard to do connect two songs.
I have like 5 songs(breakcore, dnb, tekno, jungle, etc.)
but i suck at mixing them together u know?
ANYONE HOW CAN I DO IT:?:

i haven't done a "proper" bcore-set yet, but sometimes when im bored i kinda mash together whatever i like with a total disregard for beatmatching, fading songs in and all that stuff. and i think that's the way to do it, y'know? you gotta mix in a way that fits the music, if for example it relies on drops (like shitty dubstep) you'd better mix it that way! thats what fits the music.
now if you have breakcore, dont limit yourself! be chaotic, break the rules! as long as it feels good, of course. i don't know, maybe instead of fading one song into the other you could loop it like a skipping cd and make the loop smaller and smaller (pretty overdone though), rewind into other songs or whatever.
but better not try fading bcore tunes into each other, you'll end up with a galloping skittery mess that sounds like shit.

I've recently gone completely digital apart from Oldskool Happy Hardcore, but when I first started mixing vinyl I found this site very helpful, ton's of tutorials on there! - www.DJtutor.com

You're probably expecting to be able to get good over night, it won't happen.
Like alot of stuff, it is down to trial and error, through that you'll learn your own way. Practise makes perfect!

i don't think you can learn beat matching by reading y'all...
you talking about spinning? or like digital, where it basically tells you the bpm..
spinning, try to get both songs @ same tempo..
start your record, count some measures so you begin at a good spot to throw in the next record...
you gotta try and separate the two songs, but hear them together.. ya know?
after a couple of measures, you should be able to tell which one is lagging...
adjust the tempo on the in-coming record and start over again...
you'll start to get a feel for speeding up the incoming record, or slowing it down.. once you've found the speed that the two records should be at, practice mixing them over and over again... throwing the other record in at different moments.... pay attention to the groves in the record.. you'll eventually be able to 'read' the record just by looking at it.. when it drops out or comes in..
this shit takes a while... so get to it...
unless you're talking about mixing digitally,,,, then my advice to you would be to learn mixing the real way.. buy some turntables... don't be a punk ass
