Oh, it will help me in another genre, but it’s not the same.
The two examples I gave are a good example… Ghetto Funk seems very well suited to harmonic mixing. It is pretty easy to blend the songs. With Electro swing, it seems like it might be OK with harmonics, but the beats tend to step on each other too much, even with dropping out all of the bass. I wonder if it’s the difference between the housey 4-on-the-floor instead of breakbeat sound?
With Ghetto Funk, I’ve found that if the keys are compatible (+/-1 or A-B), then I can usually keep the mix going such that there is no gap between the Grime bassline, which is great for keeping the energy going.
I am still learning to move outside of my comfort zone, which is just Ghetto Funk right now which I have been practicing a lot (and am pretty new to DJing), but I currently intend to branch out into Electro swing, Deep House, Dub/Brostep and Electro. As I notice similarities and differences in technique, I’ll try to share them.
