Making a mix more exciting
Posted on: 13.04.2011 by Diane Sultzer
Hello,

I am new to dj'ing and i got beatmatching down pretty well......however my mixes just sound as such, songs linked together. I was wondering what do the people on DJ Techtools do to make their mixes more exciting

but if you're boring yourself with your own mixes, that might be a good starting point.
