they´re all pretty good. i got them as well.

i´d class them as harder uk techno.

what´s your exact problem with mixing them?

[dan t]

nothing really, just commin from trance and not listening to techno b4, didmn;t know if theres liek something that "HAS" to be done in mixin techno.

[MARKEG]

No, with techno, it's pretty much mix as you feel. With trance, it's different for sure. But still try to keep the 16.32 thing in your head if you can (unless you want to develop a pretty chaotic style which you can make sound good with practice)....

[TripleX]

i don´t know what mark means with that (16.32 ), but i think it´s

important for the beginning to mix the tracks on the right bars.

it´s hard to explain what i mean ( i´m german hehe).

when the 1st bass starts on the record which is going, then let the other record which you wanna mix in going.

then just wait for the next break and switch the bass

[MARKEG]

if you listen to all dance music, it always changes 16 or 32 or in multiples of that. put any record on the decks and count 16 or 32 from the first kick drum. then you'll hear a change. ie a hi hat will come in or something will happen. applying this rule to every record, it means that when you mix a record in you wait until that change on the 1st record, spin the 2nd from the first kick drum at exactly the same time and then both records will change together. swap the basses on one of the changes.....
