I started off mixing drum n bass & jungle before hardcore and I found hardcore a lot easier to mix. Jungle the hardest definately, so irregular and difficult to get ya head round sometimes.
I'd say jungle and drum and bass, more so jungle, requires the most skill cause it always helps to be good at chopping and chop the other tune in at good places.

It varies and depends on what stuff you started spinning with. Older hardcore ('93-'95) took a lot more skill imo to spin due to the production of it. Where as most of your tunes from '98 and up are produced more as songs and some of them are physically impossible to mix early due to clashing synths.
Jungle is kind of a long the lines of older hardcore, but I've knowticed with there being more vocals being used it's started to become like present hardcore.
The only difference is you're listening to kick on hardcore and the high hat in dnb...well atleast that's how I do it =P

I think Drum N Bass is harder to beat match, but way easier to cut and drop samples.. Got to love Drum n Bass, very funky but the crowds are pretty strange, like doofers but great people all the same;)

i think dnb is much harder to mix, plus you really have to have a diverse bag of records for a really good set, alot of people in the hardcore scene have the same records, it is possible to not hear the same record rinsed twice in a big dnb party, not so if you have a couple of local djs playing the same style of hardcore, as everyone gets their records from the same place.
don't stand and stare, just kick your legs in the air

I started playing hhc then switched to D+B, it's deffinatly harder to mix at first, until you get your head arond it. The way I used to do it was to count along with the tracks , as if it was a hhc track, ie. 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4, count the bars and stuff. It works because D+B is all 4 beats per bar like hhc. Some tunes have really irregular beat patterns and are relly hard to sound good with any tune (like Andy C - Bodyrock).

3/3? lol, how would that work, doesn't make much sense compared to the normal 4/4.

I have another tune with the same 3/3 beat, on the B side of Thunderball on Ram Records, at the time they came out it was supposed to be the new craze but your right it never happened....
