Looking for new genres to mix
I’m looking to expand my music crate from dubstep to more genres.
I prefer genres that can really facilitate growth in skill, I feel rather limited when it comes to dubstep and its debatable to some if dubstep is a genre that can have proper mixing.
I also wonder what are the more common genres of tracks played at clubs but I still take having a genre that can give me a lot of room to explore and create a unique style in equally as important.
Maybe go on beatport and click around in the different genre sections and explore? Start going to different kinds of club nights and see what’s being played and what you like?
This is a pretty strange thread, no one can tell you what genres to mix.
I’m actually doing that right now as you replied.
You’re a psychic aren’t you?
Anyway is there anyone genre that is good for mixing? Dubstep is difficult to do especially when mixing bass lines which not many tracks can do very well due to varied beats.
trap is the new craze lately. 70/140 like dubstep. fairly easy to mix with itself and dubstep.
Try Glitch hop. some of it has dubstep-like elements, but overall its a very varied genre and its a lot of fun to mix.
Thanks guys, I will give trap and glitch a shot and start building those music crates.
Yeah check Beatport & see what you may be interested in!
find a DJ you like. Listen to their sets.
Techno, trance or fidget? IDK what they call it but stuff like this:
I find it to be funner to mix than dubstep and takes a different approach. It also allows for that extended mixing you sound like you’re after. The best part of this style is that it really varies in tempo and you’ll get a much better feel for how a single BPM or 2 can be so dramatic.
At least thats my experience trying to move out of only dubstep/dnb.
i have been really into uk funky/garage lately, its pretty fun and bouncy, also just some good jungle.
try out some house, there’s a flavor for almost everyone!
+1 for glitch hop!
try techno, new rave etc
Romantic Techno anyone 
sounds interesting…
GlitchHop is indeed a rapidly evolving genre just now. Also, listen to Rinse FM online if you want to be on the bleeding edge, that and XLR8R blog material.
Word!
House is the shit right now imo, love mixing it!
What exact type of dubstep are you trying to mix, artists/songs?? Dubstep dances around the beat/moves it, but there is still a structure and the beats/kick are there, it’s just about de-layering it all and finding where and what exact sound is pushing the song along, it’s easy to get caught up in all the sounds that are going on, especially when they move around like they do.
Also (and people won’t like to admit it’s actually a ‘genre’) but try Dumstep, the major difference being that the beat doesn’t move around as much, it’s slightly quicker (150BPM), but still has bass lines driving the song along, instead of harmonic synths. It’ll be a lot, lot easier to mix.
I also agree with Glitch as well, it’s a fun, slower genre (110 BPM) and has a lot of ‘dubstep’ orientated sounds.
Either way just have fun with it man, whatever get’s your head boppin’
Deep house and tech house, welcome to the dark side 
.
FTFY 
. I’m actually on a big deep house, techno, minimal, hard (bass) tech house binge.
@OP - IMO some genres tend to lend them selves to different types/styles of 
. It depends on how you hear/perceive and want to mix the music - No one can tell you that. Actually that’s what separates us all
House has, and will always been the shit. It’s where most other dance genres evolved from. Try other sites other than Beatport too though. I find that Traxsource is a really good alternative.
