Most dubstep tunes provide a challenge when mixing imo and I like that about it.

Easiest tune to mix has to be Disko Rekah. There is nothing but beats and the Busta sample in the intro. It doesn't get any easier than that. You can pretty much mix anything out of it too.

My fave is prolly Punks as you just know it's going to go off when you drop it. If not the crowd is probably dead. Same goes for Crunked Up.

i like the loefah remix of Jah War, but you can't have the mix run longer than the intro.

top five favorite tracks to mix would be

Hyloz - Boxcutter
Anti War Dub - DMZ
Kingstown - Kode9+TheSpaceApe
Cannot Be Straightened - Bass Clef
Sensi Dub - Cotti+Cluekid

I find most DMZ tunes are easier to mix than the rest.

I find it really hard to mix D1 - Crack Bong :oops:

yep!

Burial, Appleblim, Shackleton, Ekaros tracks are easy to flow into the mix.

I've some key players, definitely some of the easier tunes to select.

Fat Freddy's Drop 'Cay's Crays' (Digital Mystikz Remix) + Ekaros 'Drakula'
Benga '6306'
MRK1 'Sensi Skank'

Perfect

i think distinction-afterlife is easy, omen's "the rise" and the remixes, intro with few elements always makes it easier

i always fuck up kingstown,always

yeah i agree. left leg out is one of favs for a bit of teasing. most copies of disko rekkah i've used have been well slack so it slides around all over but not on my decks. crunked up always gets a crowd goin especially if you double drop it with losing control/chest boxin

I find bury the boy quite hard to mix. To start off with that sharp of a sound and that much bass requires a really precise drop with no room for error. I find Lightning by skream really easy to mix, partly because I know it really well and partly because the hi-hats are really easy to pick out of the mix.

I find a lot Digital mystikz tracks quite difficult to mix smoothly becuase they often start with quite a loose sound (with long attacks and decays), like on the two soul jazz singles or Mala's forgive or coki's Haunted.

And I agree Burial is quite difficult to mix because it uses such muddied sounds, worth trying though.

Great topic

as i said i find it easy to mix together burial tracks, curiously my favourite's 12" its the hardest one to mix into a set, left leg out and blue notez are difficult choices though i'd mix blue notez with midnight request line in my latest dubstep's dissertation :lol:

yeah same, really struggle with burial. spent about half an hour yesterday trying to mix various burial tracks after being inspired by unite. couldnt even mix burial tracks together very well.
hopefully ill manage to do it well eventually, will definitely be worth it
