How to mix dubstep with house

Even though I am a new DJ all i have been mixing lately is dub/house/electro

I have found that a vast majority of house songs end in roughly like a 30 second playback of the basic beat with bass and some snares, usually I like to mix songs together there such as the part of a dub step song where the vocals come in and then time it just right so that bass drops when the house is over, also look for breaks in dub step songs near the beginning cut out and add some house tracks and then drop back into that dub song

I sometimes slow the bpm down without messing with the key on the higher track like for instace

go from the 128 bpm to the 140 bpm, bring the 140 track in as close to 128 as you can without it sounding to bad then before a big drop or some bass speed it up

also I have never really had a problem mixing dub drops together either just cause the bpms do not differ all that much

Try this transition track

Echo freeze always works perfectly for major tempo changes.

In traktor sometimes when you switch tracks the echo freeze switches tempos to the new master track, which is kinda odd if it is done wrong.

Delay freeze is in Traktor and a setting you have to configure under the effect parameters in Delay (has to be configured to “Single” effect, not “Group”). It says something like FRZ underneath the feedback knob. So whenever you turn on the effect, it stops and delays the last beat until you turn off the effect. As for echo freeze, I don’t know of any software actually calling it that but it is to the same effect as delay freeze in Traktor.

You can also do similar things in VDJ with the reverb effect by sliding the strength and room size full and hit the “Wet Only” option (which only feeds the sounds coming from the effect) and just manually stop the track. As for Serato, I do not know (I’ve never used it).
