Reply to djing the 1st drop VS djing the 2nd drop in EDM music.. read on..

hey guys, so lately i've been doing some believeing as to why some of my mixes haven't been sounding as great as i want them to..

i typically drop the 1st drop in EDM songs (assuming standard structure, with a given song having 2 drops, and the 2nd drop being a basic mirror of the 1st drop, usually with 1 or 2 extra things "added")

what i've noticed more recently (more so paid attention to, rather than simply noticing), is that after the 2nd drop, the song begins the outro (vocals are gone, and it's basically the beginning 30-45 seconds of the song, but in reverse, just fading out)..

could it be that my mixes don't have such perfect flow bc i'm dropping the song at the 1st drop, and then doing my outro into the middle instrumental, VS dropping the song at the 2nd drop, and allowing the song to enter it's minimalistic "outro" phase?

i hope i've been clear in explaining myself, please give me feedback as to what you other EDM dj's are using as common practice.. thanks!
