Wait a minute... you're supposed to match the beats?

not anymore! just mash some random effect and turn all those knoby things, wave your arms in the air and jump around. and at some random time slam the crossfader over.

My whole act is comprised of putting on an Armin van Burren mix and mooning the crowd for 2 solid hours. That is the idiom of DJ Spastic Colon.

Yea, I do a lot of harmonic mixing too. It definetly helps the two tracks blend together when they are in the same key. First thing I do when I buy a track is right the BPM and Key on the label. :)
