“Trap” Mixing tips
ive benn mixing for about a year and a half, i mix electro house, deep house, tech house and now even tropical house, ive been listening to this kind of soft trap music like lido, cashmere cat, trippy turtle and those kind of guys and i havent figured out how to mix that styke, it doesnt have a loud kick and has a lot of harmonies and things, can you please help me
use the snare?
WTF is Tropical House?
I ask the same thing with a lot of these new “genres”…especially ones with “future” in them.
“future techno”
“future bass”
“future house”
“future polka”
“future country”
Future Country sounds funky as hell! Where can I find it?!?!
i prefer classical future myself
Future just means that people are time traveling and bringing EDM from the future and bringing it to us…But then to the people of the future it becomes History bass, History Techno and so on 
its just a way to sell music, the purpose of labeling genre’s.
but history techno, thats like some hipster shit. “i was so into history work last week, im into meta techno now”
seriously digging that future oldskool 
Back to the OP’s question, which is still a little scary…my answer is. "i’ve never heard trap mixed well because it just all sounds like noise to me, most djs are just dropping and hard cutting in to the next track. Not a style I favor…
I try not to do quick cuts unless its neccessary. Check out this lil part i cut out of a mix im working on.

(Skip to 3.00 for instant trap)
First mix from dub to trap is kinda greasy , and the last trap mix in comes in on the breakdown, kinda a mess up but u can see that trap can be mixed abit more then quick cuts and slammin faders.
i can long mix the hell out of trap.
I play almost exclusively radio (Beyonce-ish) R&B, Jersey Club (Hoodboi, Lido, style that shares elements with trap), trap, and drum and bass in all of my sets. It’s not easy, per se, but mashups and layering/cutting drops selectively allow you a ton of freedom and lets you please a crowd that might otherwise be difficult. Drop-to-drop as well as verse-chorus-verse where you mix in the verses helps create those critical transitions. The more complex chords are refreshing and fun for mashups if you have acapellas 
just to listen i believe
I Mix Mainly Tap-esque Genres and try to use the bridges as a mixing point heavily. Shameless plug below of my most recent mix.
dont.
but if you do try to not mix the basslines!
The best tip I can give you is to find a better genre to mix. Trap is horrid. Like mixing diarrhea and puke from last nights hangover then pouring to down your ears, cold.
