first don't SHOUT, second as far as easy stuff try newer hardcore...don't try starting out with breaks because they're a lil more difficult to master mixing them
once you can start beatmatching stuff @ 220 bpm you can pretty much mix anything....

I find breaks a little easier sometimes because it's either RIGHT on or totally off so you're forced to work with the mix til its perfect.

I'd recommend starting off with breaks, cuz if you can master that, you can master anything. Besides, it seems to me that if you get used to spinning breaks, it feels more natural when you want to start doing tricky stuff with a 4/4. Maybe it's just me.
If not breaks, then I would just say whatever you like dancing to the most.

I'd say try breaks first, and if you start to get disheartened by lack of decent mixing, then try some of the newer stuff coming out on Evolution/E+ and Raver/Jelly Baby (or basically anything with a nice strong 4/4 kick to start off the track)...that is if your into that sort of stuff.... no matter what else stay true to the music you like!

deep house, i tried it round a mates house and the slow throbbing aciddy house stuff is so funking easy compared to 190+bpm hardcore, the hardest thing is not throwin the shit choons out the window an slappin sum good vinyl on
or try a bit of Mobile DJing, that probly the easiest out there (stop track, start track....BANG!)

Whenever I get discouraged in my mixing, I go to some intelligent drum n bass. It slows me down a little and makes me concentrate more. V recordings stuff is pretty good for that. After that, I can usually get back into mixing some hardcore.

myself personally mate, i would recommend to start off with the hardest stuff u can mix, in my case that would be the old skool hardcore. its a lot deeper and makes u concentrate more, so when u get onto the lighter stuff like maybe some breaks or nu skool hardcore, then u'll have it made mate.
at the end of the day tho, just gotta keep at it
