I listen to hour long dubstep mixes on Youtube when I practice juggling but I am getting board of them. Does anybody have some genre suggestions. I like the music to be instrumental (little to no vocals) and upbeat.
Also I'm probably getting ahead of myself but what club trick should I learn after I get the ones I'm practicing down (doubles and kick ups). I'm thinking backcrosses but I don't know if that's a leap in trick difficulty.

Backcrosses are very difficult, but require not really any prerequisites so you can start practising whenever you like!
Other tricks I'd suggest: half spin cascade, columns, flat front half shower, oh shits, low doubles, under arm throws, 423 with variations in 2's such as flips, thumbspins and flourishes
As for music:
Well there are other genres that are similar to dubstep... Trance, techno, and all of their subgenres etc.
However, I find some less electronic, less repetitive and more melodic instrumental music more interesting myself.
A random list of artists you could look up, selected for active beats & little vocals:
Royksopp
Analogik
Caravan Palace
Parov Stellar
Sound Nomaden
Cassian
Vitalic
Simian Mobile Disco
Justice
Digitalism
I hope that gets you started on finding something you like to juggle to :)
Minimal Music, Philipp Glass? .. Spacy stuff, Tangerine Dream? .. Carols Santana, album "Caravanserai"? .. Jazzrock?

I have similar requirements for my work playlist although I'm less strict about the no vocals thing.
Today, I am mostly listening to:
- various ragga/jungle remixes by Ed Solo & Deekline (There are several mixes on youtube, they're all a lot of fun - their remix of Ghost Town by the specials is marvelous)
- Cut Chemist - Rare Equations (sample heavy, non-vocal hip-hop style mix built from funk/jazz/rare-groove)
- Aphrodite - Aphrodite (Proper dirty wobbly DnB)
I have a cracking album of

Hmm. Looks like I buggered up the html input. Orin - I don't suppose you can dig out what I attempted to post and fix it up can you?
Er... unfortunately not. Doesn't look like you buggered it up sufficiently for it to my usual watch scripts.

Arse. I'll try and remember it and post the rest of it later then.

OK, broad brush of what I intended to post continuing from: I have a cracking album of...
...upbeat, non-vocal covers of disco classics played on a hammond organ (Duke Grant - Hammond Disco) which is excellent fun, but I can't find it on youtube.
If I'm in a nostalgic mood, and want to feel like I'm at a convention in the UK from near the beginning of my time I'll put on Prodigy - Experience/Music for a Jilted Generation or leftfield - leftism, as they were pretty much standard festival soundtrack material at the time.
If you like dubstep, you might find some of the ragga/jungle/DnB/UK Rave stuff from the 1990s acceptable. Search for any of those with "classics" (eg "UK Rave classics") and you'll find a boatload of hour long mixes which are mostly at least minimal-vocal.
Oh, and if you enjoyed the Aphrodite suggestion - and if you're a fan of epic drops, you *have* to listen to the DJ Detweiler remix of the DnB classic Super Sharp Shooter by Ganja Kru. It's not an hour long mix, but it is on youtube, and the drop at 1:19 is the sickest, most epic drop you'll ever hear!

+severalmillion for Aphrodite, a singular white boy from Glasgeh IIRC. Start with Urban Jungle, move on to Urban Junglist. I can highly recommend a 2k rig and Man Of Steal, old skool noise at its rollicking best.

oh, and in a similar vein - Pendulum.
Although that can get a bit samey
"their remix of Ghost Town by the specials is marvelous"
This was pretty great.
I remember you once posted something similar in ##juggling with horns/trumpets in that I quite liked. Any chance you recall what that was? I assume that there was more.
