The Contenders

12Zambia - Nora En Pure

A very tropical house track, but I still think there's a lot more musical variation to this track than most of its kind. Nora En Pure is a great artist for exploring what the commercial house scene which appears dull and unchanging on the surface can have up its sleeve, so if you use a track like this in an audience meant either for the mainstream or the progressive house environment, you're likely to get some cheers. And it's a track with a very noticeable clap and kick, so even if it's not to your taste, I'd highly recommend practicing from scratch with this one. - PositronWildhawk

This track has very different sounding beats that alternate noticeably as the track goes on. That may sound like a pain in the butt for those who are trying to get to grips with the core of beat-matching, but the tempo doesn't change, which makes it incredibly easy to mix, and once you have the beat in control, there's a lot you can do with it. This track is ideal for testing the filtering effects on certain frequencies, particularly when you have another, similar track on top of this one, where one can quite easily observe how these effects change the depths and the ranges of the final sound. I would recommend doing this with a mixer which divides the input into as many frequency ranges as you can obtain, but really, as long as your mixer does so with suitable quality, you're ready to go. - PositronWildhawk

19Synrise (Soulwax Remix) - Goose
20Sansa - Gareth Emery

I have several hot cue points in this track. Why? Because there are so many vastly different parts of this track, each with a number of hidden elements which you need a good ear to detect. When you're getting the hang of slipping those parts over each other, you can really bring more of this track to life! Of course, this is a difficult part of DJing, and requires a lot of skill, but given time, practice makes perfect. This track is something I would definitely practice this with. - PositronWildhawk

22Phantom Pt. II (Soulwax Remix) - Justice
24Ayo - Tyga

Terrible song and artist.26Happiness Take My Hand - Alex Dee Gladenko

I wish I'd discovered this track earlier. Not only is it original and beguiling, but it's also got a simple, regular, progressive house beat that is perfect for the very beginning of DJing. As it combines elements of most of the lighter house subgenres, it can be mixed with literally any commercial or progressive house at all! Also, it's good for practicing more advanced moves; implementing a small echo or reverb mid-track will sound good. - PositronWildhawk

Good
Fake Love - Blende

Particularly complex for a song of it ilk, but with so many separate parts to it, you can surprise any audience at all with it, and with a very regular and unchanging bass kick, it's not at all hard to do so. If you practice with Fake Love a lot, you'll look like a professional DJ after just a few months! - PositronWildhawk

Two Good Songs To Mix Together

Mixing in key is one of the big revolutions of digital DJing – alongside things like portability, ease of use, and instant access to all of your music (or increasingly, the world’s music, as streaming services become standard in DJ software). But of all of these huge advantages of digital over analogue, maybe key mixing is the one that gives DJs the most pleasure.
Why? Because once you get a great key mix, you never forget it. It sounds like a hand in a glove, it sounds like the two tunes were just meant to go together. (So actually, maybe the first reason why every digital DJ should learn to mix in key is just that it’s a huge amount of fun, aligned with the fact that digital makes learning how to key mix potentially possible for just about anyone.)

5 reasons to learn to mix in key

So let’s look a bit more closely at exactly why it’s so much fun, and why you really ought to start doing it…

  1. For more interesting beatmixes – Beatmixes used to be hard, period, due to the need for manual beatmatching. Now with digital, anyone with one hand on a sync button (who can count to four) can beatmix. So how do you make your beatmixes more interesting, more outstanding? By mixing in key and attempting more adventurous musical beatmixes, that’s how. Mixes that are on beat and on key? Now that’s still impressive
  2. To make big genre and BPM changes – So beatmixing an entire single genre set… isn’t that a bit boring nowadays? Yup. So how do you make big, bold genre, BPM and energy level changes in a set, so you can play “open format” DJ sets that don’t sound a mess? One way is to ensure that your music is key matched, so the big changes sound right, rather than random
  3. To effortlessly include acapellas in your DJ sets – Finding a good acapella (a vocal sung on its own) to fit over a suitable instrumental track was a once-a-year thing in the old days of vinyl DJing. By “keying” your acapellas and suitable instrumental tracks, you can instantly spot potential new ways to play vocal you love, or make underground instrumentals more dancefloor friendly to “get away” with them in your sets, even on the fly…
  4. To make your own unique mashups – Using simple software like Mixed In Key Mashup, you can take elements of several tracks and almost instantly loop and create new tracks out of them, all perfectly in key. Hit “save”, drop it into your DJ software, and you’ve got an instant mashup to play at your next gig. what better way to have something that nobody else has got that sounds great?
  5. For intelligent music discovery – Nowadays, online stores like Beatport Pro, and DJ software like Algoriddim’s djay (that incorporates Spotify streaming) actually tell you the keys of tunes that you haven’t even bought/downloaded yet. So you can choose or even try songs that look like they may work in your key mixes or mashups before you even own them, cutting out so much trial and error

How exactly does digital revolutionise key mixing?

If you’re new to digital DJing, you may wonder what key mixing is, and how exactly digital DJing makes key mixing possible for “mere mortals”. Well, what it is is easy: Every piece of music is in a “key”, and if you mix music in the same or close keys, it has every chance of sounding fantastic… so I’m sure you can guess what happens if you don’t…

The reasons digital has made this all so easy are that firstly, digital software can tell you which of your tracks are key compatible with each other, meaning you don’t need to understand musical theory at all, like you had to “in the old days”. Secondly, digital DJ software can preserve your tunes’ musical pitches across tempo changes, so you don’t have to worry about that, either.
