    My main genres are house and techno but I also love some UKG (and its derivatives) and would like to mix them sometime. I imagine that the smooth, long, transition of house won’t exactly work on UKG? I often hear UKG mixed quickly with a lot of crossfader slamming with emphasis of “drop”? And I also wonder if I should take notice of the irregular drum beats. Thanks!

    i’ve started djing to mix that kind of bass music… everyone must find his own style, but i suggest you to watch djs performing on youtube (for ex. check the “boiler room” stuff).
    personally i don’t like dropping and crossfader slammig, also if sometimes i do it… check this mix i’ve done, i did it as an exercise to learn smooth, subtle transitions:

    wow, I’ve seen your mix on dubstepforum. tracklist is a bit obvious but I like the mixing. thanks, you gave me an inspiration for smoothly mixing uk bass. could you give me some details about the software/hardware you were using?
