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).

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):

edit: overit mostly beat me to it

I learnt on benny benassi - satisfaction

Same track on each deck playing and trying to beat match them practise practise practise!

This is actually a good practise technique.

Same song with solid beat, both sides, practise beatmatching

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!
