Overall standard, like.

For example, Youngsta might be a beast but Dubstep mixing by and large is a bit pony considering so much of it is the same BPM to begin with.

breakcore has to be difficult, especially with a nice amount of tracks being in 7/4

house or techno.

(and i only say that after watching carl cox 3+ deck mix back in the late 90's)

The most gifted selectors are wedding dj's.

i was actually suppose to write house/techno (due to lines being fairly vague)

Hip Hop.

There is no other acceptable answer to this.

</thread>

uh hello ? ...hip hop (as in turntablism) ?

i dont think any of the high profile dj's in the genres mentioned so far would technically be able to reproduce a dmc winning routine

edit: arf too late

wait

are we talking mixing or turntablism ?

or all of the above?

*edit - lol fuck. too slow.

Yeah has to be the turntablists of hip-hop.

Kind of unfair really!

yeah but how you gonna compare carl cox vs roc raida?

DJing = Turntablism

Mixing is an element of turntablism. It's just that most "DJs" only bother to learn that bit.

yea but these days turntablism generally is talking about scratching etc....

hip hop

disco

You won't get very far scratching if you're not mixing the scratches into another record!

It not really as clear cut as that imo. Some djs are able select tunes and blend them together much better than a dj who can scratch/go bananas with the eqs and faders etc and vice versa.

Ghettotech and hardcore. They do all the shit the hip-hop turntablists do at a much higher speed with much harder to mix records. Most hardcore DJs only stick to basic mixing of course, but the straight up turntablists blow the hip-hop DJs out of the water.

The raw beatmatching aspect of it isn't very hard. It's mostly just fast and easy to find the backbeat if you listen to it a lot. And most of it is in 4/4, it's only Snares who mostly writes in 7/4.

I jumped into mixing breakcore like within a month of me learning how to mix. :p
