Yes!


I used it in a demo I did about a year ago, not as the first tune but a few tracks in - when the beat drops in it's just got such a good groovy feel to it

Danny Tenaglia - Elements

I never really use an "intro" tune, though often I'll play a few Ambient or Chillout/Downtempo tunes at the beginning of a set.

For Goa:

Filteria - Operation Pulse

Vibrasphere - Floating Free
Albert Vorne - Formentera (Gareth Emery Remix)

And others I really can't think of right now.

Once I used Re:Locate vs Jonas Steur - Nasty as an intro for a banging set, it worked perfectly Gave the people what they wanted, BANG BANG BANG!

Vibrasphere - Yaku (outtro)

Using that as an intro to an ambient techno type mix atm. Works well.

Matthew Dekay - Blue Monday

Originally posted by Nemesis44 I sometimes use a recording I got of the his holiness the 14th Dali Lama of Tibet when I was near the Tibetan border in India. Works nicely over incoming beats and I also flick reverse back and fourth so the chant becomes more rythmically matched. I also use the intro from Planet Rock - Afrka Bambaataa. I stick a loop on the yeaaaaaah phrase and let the beats kick in, and filter it like crazy with delay etc. This works nicely, but really only good for the first time you play at a club, gets boring if you do it too often.

This sounds crazy! Any chance you could put up a sample or something? I'd love to hear this.

I've always wanted to use Doves - Where We're Calling From as some sort of opener, but I have no idea what to follow it up with.

Karen Overton - Your Loving Arms (Markus Schulz & Elevation Intro Edit)

absolute choonage

Agreed. Something interesting has to happen in the first few seconds (that was my main criticism of my own last trance demo - the intro was far too long!), preferably involving a groovy bassline

It all depends on the set.
Some sets and crowds you just start right away.

I disagree. I think it's ok ocassionally, but all the best sets I have seen use intro tunes which take aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages to get going.

I swear I've had a whole compartment in my brain dedicated to this topic for years:

Beanfield - Tides (Carl Craig Remix)
Delia Gonzalez & Gavin Russom - Relevee (Carl Craig Remix)
Freefall � Skydive (good for anything really, depending on where you mix in)
Laurent Garnier � Acid Eiffel
Laurent Garnier � The Man With The Red Face
Ada � Maps (Michael Mayer & Tobias Thomas Remix)
Humate � 3.2 (Bedrock Remix)
Redshape � 2084
Sucker DJs � Lotta Lovin� (Paradise Soul Remix)
iiO � At The End (MadeEdit)
Fatboy Slim � Bird of Prey
Infected Mushroom � Neverever Land
Melt - Be Liquid

Digital Pressure - Aftershokk

I think that only really works if you're the headliner and you've got quite a long set... at the other end of the scale I've seen the 2nd DJ on a lineup using 10 a minute intro for an hour-long set - silly bugger!

Yeah, for sure.

Headliners with 3 or 4 hour sets only, it's stupid for warm-up DJs to do it.

I forgot to include: Steve Angello - Acid. Awesome opening track. His production used to be so good, what the hell happened?

Opening your set with Beroshima - Horizon (Pig & Dan Remix) will get you an automatic lay that night.

Jose Amnesia - The Eternal (Pulser remix) or (Sunrise mix)
Solar Stone - Seven Cities (Armin Van Buuren Vocal mix)

Cape Town - Proglifter Original Mix

I find my own

The intro version of Sultan & Tommyboy - You make me feel extacy is a really dark and effective start, if you want that..

Orbital - Halcyon + on + on, we all know works like a charm.

Santos - Camels. Quite odd, but nevertheless.. It will get people moving.

For a trancier start, Nalin & Kane - Open your eyes.

When playing out, unless something absolutely amazing happens then yes. I think on mixes however its not quite as important.

And lets be honest, in most situations where you have a crowd in front of you, you really shouldnt be using any kind of intro.

Is it just me or do other people find this tune really overrated? It kept coming up in track of the year 2006 etc. and it never really stood out for me.

Apart from recent times, PvD has always had good intro tunes as well as most of Oakies from 99.

The intro to Micah's Rhunsong 8 is crazy as well, and I always enjoy Aaron Slater - Alien To Me (Dub mix). I'm trashed.

Just came across another great intro tune on juno, Steve Gibbs - Tokyo
