Faster genres are easier to mix if anything, certainly not harder, there are more beats so you can tell if its in time more easily if that makes sense

Hip Hop 100%

I've only seen a couple hip hop DJs live, and it's all been local, but they're fucking sick

I'd actually say the opposite of that. A faster beat (and more beats) mean that it's a lot easier for it to sound total wank. For example, D&B is a lot harder to mix than Dubstep

thats because dnb has a slight variation in tempo

that as well, but I think it's harder even with two records that are the same bpm than two 140s

When using cdjs I find it fairly hard to mix a 138 and. 141 dubstep tune for example, beats are so far apart, don't get that with dnb because there's such a steady beat, it might be just me tho.

i'm with you. the space in half step had led to a lot of clangs for me.
dnb was a lot easier to keep in time.

jungles a tnuc wit the atmospheric breakdowns sometimes too
