Great advice. Something I noticed Luke do about a decade ago was mix during the during the build and jump to the 2nd drop of a track. A lot of DJs never realize that the 2nd drop a lot of times is more powerful and more energetic than the first one, plus if you are mixing fast, The outro beats come up and gives you another opportunity to mix in the next track on the fly. I definitely incorporated that into my own mixing style. Blessings Luke!

I have a method that I haven't seen anyone do yet, but it's usually common if you are DJing music you created yourself.
When you're DJing only the music you produce, you have the advantage of having of all the stems. That means you have the freedom to group all stems into 4 parts: Drums, Bass, Melodic/Harmonic, and Vocals (and additional group is fx or transitions, but I'm gonna keep it simple for now, and make a full tutorial on this).
This means you can rearrange, and Mashup, and have full control of how you mix everything by adding or taking out parts, without having to use EQs.
Now, you can apply this to other music you didn't make. There is software that usually splits a song into those 4 parts. If you do this method, it's a bit tedious for a long set to split all music you have into those 4 parts, but the freedom it allows for mixing is unmatched!

I want to add to this because I actually tend to mix out the chorus all the time:
IMO If you're going to, for example, mix out the chorus to My Humps - Black Eyed Peas, you really need to follow up with a song that people are also going to enjoy (Temperature - Sean Paul, Fireworks - Katy Perry as examples).

I remember going to one of your sets with my girlfriend and she was not used to this fast type of mixing (hot cue mixing). She said "this guy is all business, cut the records as fast as you can and no thanks for coming out at the end of the set".
