Tenminmix Competition by Dj Tutor

Tenminmix it's a competition from DJ Tutor that happens every month and the best mixes with ten minutes or less win some prizes. But the whole point of the competition it's not the prizes, it's to put everyone training their mixes and sharing them with the world. I leave here a mix from the 3rd place in November competition.

Mixing in key - An help to build a smooth set

So i already posted here some tutorials on Virtual DJ, that is a DJ Software that allows you to play musics and mix them like a professional DJ.
So now it's time to talk about another important topic, key, that will be very helpfull when you start creating you set. To have a very smooth mix between to songs, besides the bmp (beats per minute) that must be similar (you already noticed that), they should have a similar key because because it will be easier to mix and will sound better most of the times.

I will try to do a series of tutorial soon on how to begin constructing your mixes and your sets but for now i leave here some videos that explain the importance of the mixing in key. Those videos are from DJ Tutor (ellaskins youtube channel).
