On the topic of mixing dubstep, how do you guys change tempo in your sets? Say I start off at 135 and want my set to finish at 145. I've been slowly pitching up each song 1 or 2 bpm, trying to keep it unnoticeable.

Is that even worth it? Should tempo changes be gradual or should they surprise the listener?

It's about dropping a track at the wrong speed, and it sounding better than the real thing.

Burial seldom quantizes his drums from what I understand. This makes beatmatching most of his tracks HARD AS FUCK at best. Archangel seem to have a pretty steady beat and is about 135 I think so that should work in an ordinary set...
