How to jump big bpm gaps?

Or you loop 1 or 2 bars and raise the bpm to 140, keep in mind that for every 8-9 bpm raised you will go up half a note.

Good idea – just an addition , if you are using serato or traktor – you should be able to key-lock and speed up the track without raising the pitch.

I tend to look for songs that have a long breakdown or a long reverb tail with white noise. You can pretty much start any song after this as it will blend naturally without the use of any effects.

Electro House –> Dubstep? 😉

Yeah man… I may do something like go to a half step rap track or break (64 bpm) then travel up to 70, then Trap for a few to smoothly transition genres and then drop some Dubstep. Just remember the songs are more important than the mix, so fade out and drop on the one if need be. They’ll interpret the fade as a change 9x outta 10 anyway.

YES TO INFINITY! This is one of my main principles that I try to mix by. A smooth/clever transition is great, but, I’d rather hear an entire night of simple transitions from one great track to another vs a night of super technically complex transitions from one dull/played-out song to another.
