hey guys
i have just started to get into beatmixing and now i need to organise my music by the beats per minute! i know that the rule with beat mixing is that the two songs that you are mixing together have to be within 5 beats of each other. e.g song one 115 bpm, song two 120 bpm.
anyway back to the point
this is my question
would it work doing it like this,
60 bpm - 65 bpm
65 bpm- 70 bpm
70 bpm - 75 bpm
so on & so on
i hope this is not confusing cause it is confusing me to write
now if i have one song that is 70 bpm and the other is 75 bpm are they okay to go in the same section as each other.
lol ok this is to hard to explain.
could someone tell me the best way to organise my music by there bpm, the more suggestions the better.
thanks alot

D-J-X, organising your music is a matter of personal preference. I used to think like you and organise by BPM but I found my song choice and sets becoming very stale as I tended to choose tracks that were close to BPM range and not putting much thought into WHAT I was playing. I soon realised that to challenge my skills and make every performance different I did away with that style of organisation. I now organise by genre but still have the BPM listed for each track as a guide and in no particular order - if anything by song popularity.

This is MHO, like I said music organisation is a matter of personal preference and whatever suits your DJ'ing style and the way in which you work.

ROQ out.
