    Been doing this the other way with 5 beat loops taken from a 175 track, and mixing in.a 140...

    Works best if you loop a section with no snare drum... Just kicks is fine, just bass or synth, but snare will fuck up.

    I also mapped a button that sets a normal loop (4 beats in my case) and then moves the loop out forward one beat on release. You could use the same method the other way...

    Is there a good breakdown or intro without an obvious rhythm that doesn't clash? If not then you'll have to just slam, use echo freeze, find a good 4 beat loop, or backspin. DJ Oneman is a good person to study. He mixes UK Garage, future garage, old school dubstep, juke, grime, disco, house, and RnB. Most of the songs vary in BPM. You can find his mixes for download at rinse fm's website under Sunday's.

    I don't know how a 5 beat loop sounds continuous (in a good way). But to do it you just manually place the loop in and out markers.

    5 beat loop mapping;

    Loop Size & Set > Direct > 4
    Cue/Loop Move Mode > Loop Out
    Move Size > 1
    Cue/Loop Move > Increase > INVERT

    press and hold the button to set and hold a 4 beat loop, i hold for 16 beats, then release at same time as pressing play on other deck, which moves the loop out point. spice up with effects as desired, e.g filter 92 lfo.
    set new deck to master (could be added to mapping i guess) so effects work better

    works quite well to mix from DnB to Dubstep

    One comment on my idea. As if you would kick the other song in on the 1 it would be a bit drop so you could build it a bit up with some psycadelic fx like some delay and reverb so it won't be so harsh

    Uh oh... I see no mention of building pre-made transition tracks. Is this a no-no? Am I doing myself an injustice by not doing my transitions on the fly??? I must know!!!

    Pre edits are fucking ace. I know a pretty poor DJ who always rocks the most incredible sets due tot he fact all his tracks are really heavily edited.
