the guy probably hates trance as its shitheads music
why dont you shut your arse and give your mouth a chance
i dj and as for the key thing i think a key chart or something like that would be usefull,plus all the speeds i mix at are allaround 128 to 130 bpm so surely the key wont change that much over 2 bpm

yes it does change a bit over two BPM, enough to sound out of tune and annoying.

use your ears -- if you know when one track sounds bad with another, than maybe you could turn on that thing inside your head (you know, your brain) and start using it -- figure out which notes are being played in one of the songs by listening then trying to find them on a keyboard, and figure out from that what key that song's in by looking up keys on the web (there are lots of places that'll give you scales, etc. -- check harmonycentral.com) and matching the notes in the song you're analyzing to the info you find.
then do that with the other song you're mixing, do it with all the songs you've got, and then, by OBSERVING and THINKING (the brain again), you will see which keys work with each other, and in what way. this is how we did it, and if you actually want to _learn_ so that you _understand_, so that you can (perish the thought) get creative or something, then i'm afraid you're going to have to put a bit of thought and effort into it, that's why they call it "music" and not "watching TV"... you're right, it _would_ be easier if you could look it up and not have to try a few different times before finding it, but the making mistakes part is a necessary component of the learning process, and without it you're never going to actually understand anything.
