Many people refer to this as 'harmonic mixing'... Very big with the
progressive DJs that get the no label records. :)  I've heard some cool
sounds come from mixing tunes together that are keyed C and E at the same
BPM.

Subject: [313] DJ Mixing - keys -


Do any Djs keep a list of "keys" of various tracks (as well as BPM)?    
("key"  as in F or Bflat etc.  -    the tonal center of a track or whatever 
you choose to call it)
 
If so: 
What are the most frequently used keys? 
What are the least frequently used keys? 
Do certain producers have "favorite" keys? 
What's the BMP limitation on changing tracks with different keys?   
Like if you're going from F to G  (Maj 2nd up),  What does that amount to in

BPM change if the F track is BPM=120 and the G track is BPM = "x"?  Anybody 
work with stuff like that?
