I on the other hand think that things can mix well over genre borders, if they have same vibe or feel to them. It just requires different types of mixing i think. I mean techno to techno can be mixed smoothly over a minute but techno to disco can be a good mix if it's quicker and the songs have some parts that fit together.
I've even heard a local radio dj doing his impossible mix-programme years ago ehere he mixed a finnish heavy metal band to Darude, wich was superduper cheesy, but the mix was super fun and worked and sounded well.
I have a question of another subject though. I recently and finally bought myself the sl1200's, and what i've never noticed before (having played a lot with different kinds of gear) that the fine quartz phasing system in the sl1200's makes the platter slow down or speed up in "increments" if nudged around.
I'd like to hear some comments about using this to your advantage or what i can do differently with this, comparing to other turntables which just slow down smoothly.
[EDIT:] Sorry i read your comment a bit wrong above, mcr. So i guess i just confirm your point
