what in your guys' opinion is the hardest style to mix?
electro, hardstyle, happy hardcore, dub step, etc.

Find it all much the same tbh. If I had to say one it would probably be oldskool as it's the least predictable so you actually have to know the tunes.

I second old school because tracks weren't dj friendly. which imo makes it much more fun to spin because you actually have to try to work something into a mix

This.
I think House can be a bit tricky for the opposite reason, the structures can sometimes be a bit awkward. Any slower genre can be a bit not tricky but if you don't have the beats locked and keep them locked people will know about it. Hardcore you can kind of get away with it without and get them locked back in without it being too obvious. Some genres like Trance and Liquid D&B can be awkward as they sometimes require you mix "in key". If you get it wrong you really get it wrong. Get it right though and it can sound amazing.

I honestly want to say Psytrance, because many of the tracks don't have a "lead" like other gernes do where it's like 1 min. of an intro. Many of the songs also just start with a sound or some sort of movie/speech sample.

Not being a moron with no taste i can't say i really listen to it much but I recon it's probably easier than you think. If you think of the second kick as a sort of off-beat, like an off-beat Bass in modern Hardcore or an off-beat snare you sometimes get in Happy Hardcore, it doesn't seem that fast and would make it a bit easier to mix. It would be tricky if you tried matching every kick, if you know what i mean, it would be like trying to match two drum rolls, but if you think of it as half-time and go for the first hit of each beat it woudln't be that hard.
That probably made no sense to anyone else other than me :)

None of those above.. I say Salsa, Jazz or stuff like that, which doesn't really have intros. So no electronic music genre. I could aswell say Classical now, but nobody plays Classical on Turntables, whereas there are clubs where they spin Salsa, Blues and similar stuff on Turntables, and yeah I guess that's the hardest to mix.

It made perfect sense. As for non-electronic genre, well no one mixes them together or at least beat matches them so it dosn't really count.

Oh well then.. I guess you'll need 2 of them and maybe a mixer from the 19th century?
