It is different for every track... not all are structured the same. |

if you get easily frustrated don't take it up is my best advice.
A lot of the older goa trance I found hard to learn to mix as it was very varied in bassline/key/melody/kick patterns etc.Hence why a lot of older mixes had lots of fading outro to intro than beatmatched but now with digital mixing and higher quality hands on mixers it's a bit easier.
Know your track super well. It's all about the drop. Drop it in the right time & you have a great mix, mess it up and it's train wrecked and with older Goa it's really noticeable.
Practice is the biggest thing, like anything to do with music, time & practice is what it takes. It was 3 years of home DJ'ing an d spending time wiht other DJ's before I ever considered playing out and even then it's kinda weird.
I remember I stopped it for like 3 years for various reasons, then got offered a slot to open on new years day at a free beach party. I did an hour of psy chill into old Dragonfly morning psy trance & having all the revelers who were either still on their buzz or having a major come down made it a weird re-reentry into the dj arena. now i play only drum n bass, chill out & house music as I got bored of the psy scene 
I hate you, you hate me, we are all so hap hap happy! |

To be authentic you are only allowed to use mini disk or DAT and you have to limit yourself to outro-intro mixes

Yea, it's funny.
Once people started using Traktor, the oldies found a reason to learn how to beatmatch to stay "cool". Too bad they found it 15 years late.
