OxyKon Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 you might want to be a little more clear with what your talking about dude Quote
overit Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 1) use two copies of the same thing and choose something you know very well, have listened to a million times and that still doesn't bore you. 2) many people also choose straightforward EDM with its simple four on the floor drum pattern and it's predictable arrangement.3) if however you never listen to EDM and want to be , for example: a Drum n Bass DJ; I think use Drum n Bass and see tip 1 (above).

Mitch Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 I presume you are talking about learning to beat mix.Easy tracks would be songs you know well, plus have a solid kick & snare.128bpm house/electro music is probably some of the easiest to learn with.A lot of people find having the same track on both decks is good to start learning with .An example of a fairly easy song to learn from that you will probably know (just grabbed no. 1 aria club track atm): https://soundcloud.com/willsparks/timmy-trumpet-snapback-willedit: overit mostly beat me to it Quote
Otto Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Minimal House & Deep House is what I found easiest to learn with. Quote

mattus123 Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 i just made up a simple 4/4 kick loop and tried mixing that into various songs Quote
Otto Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 i just made up a simple 4/4 kick loop and tried mixing that into various songsI like this idea. Quote
BeatLeSS Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Second on the Benassi - Satisfaction. I used to mix this song into this song for hours, could never get bored! Once you got beatmatching with it, it's also a really good song to learn phrasing! Quote
