Oh, this is cool! So that 'click' in a DJ mix isn't accidental, it's all about 'phrasing.' I'm really curious to see how they break this down so I can actually achieve those seamless transitions.

Okay, that bad transition was pretty jarring, definitely highlights the problem. Hearing the same tracks mixed well immediately afterward really drives home the difference. It's like the energy just gets cut off in the first one.
