I have recently started mixing dubstep, drum and bass and hip hop tracks and completed this mix, which is my first one. I am looking to get some feedback and opinions on what people make of the mix so any responses would be much appreciated.
This mix includes a number of well renowned and classic dubstep tracks with some excellent and unique sounds. Some brilliant and influential artists from the dubstep scene feature like Benga, Skream, Coki, Skream, Caspa and Rusko.
Tracklist
Benga - E-Trips
Caspa - Marmite
Benga & Coki - Night
Skream - Exothermic Reaction
Rusko & Caspa - Rock Bottom
Skream - Stagger
Rusko - Woo Boost
Skream - Rutten
Rusko - Jahova

Just listened to this.
first thing i would say is well done for completing your mix and welcome djf.
With regards to your track listing i always try not to have more than one tune by the same artist per mix. not always possible because sometimes i'll like a song by someone else but it's been remixed by someone ive already used. so shit happens.
Also throw a song with a mc or a chick singing here and there because dubstep is quite samey.
all in all a good mix but think harder about how your going to mix out a track. this i find difficult myself. sometimes i'll turn my deck off so it slows down with the new track beatmatched in. sometimes i'll do a stop/start so it brakes quickly. sometime an effect you get my drift but this will come in time.
keep at it you'll get better. can i ask what equipment your using?

Thanks very much for the reply and to some very useful and welcomed tips as well, much appreciated and I'll take them on board for future mixes!
I know it's quite samey in places and did originally have a more varied tracklist but when mixing each songs some sounded bad, some sounded ok and I eventually decided that this was the way to go. I will work on this too.
Also I totally agree on mixing out a track, which I have particularly found difficult at times to work into a mix!
I'm currently using a Numark Mixtrack Pro with the Serato DJ Intro software. It has been very steady to use so far but as I progress I may look to an alternative.

just did a mix myself check out my soundcloud for some ideas. it's not 100% perfect it was my first attempt but it took me a while to work out what tunes to throw where. anyway let me know what you think?

I like the mix man, pretty varied and picked up some useful points. I see what you're saying about mixing it up with MCs and some vocals to break the mix up a bit, good stuff. Any chance of getting a tracklist for the mix? Wouldn't mind checking out some of the tracks a bit further

A nice mix :)
I also did a mistake of mixing tracks of the same artist.
I didn't hear Jahova for a while..

yea i'll do a track list over the next few days. i need to do this mix again. i went on holiday recently and let my nephew house sit for me and he changed some stuff on my set up with the gains. the result is that some of the track sounded distorted.
