Then when I am mixing, I use the search functions in Traktor or Serato to pull files matching similar descriptions. That way I can keep the energy moving, and odds are there will be a difference in several of those tracks that allow me to move in a different direction. Kind of like the choose your own story type books where one thing has several different options for what would be next. To me this makes it easy to flow without doing a ton of searching, and it keeps me from using playlists and being locked into sets that sound the same. Oh and practice practice practice.
