Making a mix more exciting

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

with what setup are you spinning?

get better music

a very akward one:
Vestax typhoon (Don't have a lot of money, unfortunately)
M-audio axiom 25 for sampling and such
Stanton Da scratch

and traktor i guess?

well, just try some effects, some looping, some vocals over another beat. get creative!

Im sorry i forgot to add what software.


VIRTUAL DJ pro

Throw some one-shot samples and get creative with mashups.

I feel bad for asking this, but i rather ask and learn, look like a fool for 5 second then hold my djing back. But, When you say mashups you mean the tracks i am using?

yeah, mashup the tracks you got. i dont know what kind of genre you're spinning, but i sometimes just put a know electro vocal (eg justices dance) over another beat and start mashing (and messing) up these vocals..
