I started a thread previously asking how these genres are generally Dj'd and the below is the response I got.

''Seamless mixes of a lot of those tracks just isn't going to happen unless you are using a remix. Song selection and fade in/out or cuts will be the norm.''

So, based on that particular response, I've just gone for fading. Whilst I'd like to try and do seamless mixes with time, I thought I'd try and get a grasp on the basics first and try to learn what the standard Indie DJ does first.

theres different ways to mix tracks every dj has his own style

also different crowds require different ways of mixing tracks, its all up to experience as a dj

heres an advice go to clubs and pubs and sit there and listen to how djs interact with crowds thats one way to learn how to dj

I'm from Manchester so I get asked to play the stuff you've got in your mix all the time - but I play hip hop, R&B and dancehall so I never play it.

From what I've seen, indie DJs rarely mix and I don't think the crowds are into the mixing either. You don't really need technical DJ skills so playlist order and selection will be the only thing you really need to focus on. Its all about reading the room, building up a vibe and knowing when to play what song. The only advice I can give you is to get out there and learn.

Was thinking this might be a help myself - thanks!
