Genres and Styles
A playlist

It is easier to create a consistently textured mix where each track flows nicely to the next if you carefully choose compatible genre and style from one track to the next. Precise organization of the track library by folders and playlists is essential, and iTunes is a reliable, flexible tool for accomplishing this. The naming and organizing by genre and style is best determined by each DJ, subject to refinement over time. Consult Wikipedia for definition of each genre and style as needed, for example Techno, and also consult Wikipedia as you think in terms of organizing your collection into a genealogical tree. An excellent graphic of how a tree might be organized is found in Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music located here.
