House music lovers - i need some help

This is a thread for house music lovers ONLY.
If you don't like house music or aren't going to say anything useful, please don't reply.

Ok i'm a bedroom dj who spins house and i like to cross styles during my sets. I have some breakbeat records, some hardhouse and now i want some trance.

So what i'm looking for is trance tunes which combine well with house music. My house style is in the lines of Erick Morillo, he spins mellow-vocal house, but also cross styles a lot. I'm also starting to buy a few harder records, much in the style of DJ Vibe. My idea is to evolve to a style near Pete Tong, the guy is amazing, he spins EVERYTHING.

If you know some trance/prog. trance tunes which can combine well with my type of house, fire away!

Thanks, i really loved mint royale - i don't know.
However, most of that is really electro or house. What about trance or progressive trance? Anyone?

I tend to think that tracks like Sasha - Golden Arm and Justin Timberlake - Rock Your Body (Sander Kleinenberg's 1999 Remix) could transition into house fairly well... You can work from your breaks tracks into tracks by Hybrid, etc.

Well ive played stuff like:
Nalin&Kane- beachball (gabriel&dresden mix) and Greece 2000- three drives on a vinyl in a house set before....
Also stuff like chicane- offshore- classic but still a damn fine tune..

Dont categorise stylistically- think in terms of pace and energy content within a track

You can get away with playing practically anything if its played in the right context and in the right way.

do u know Balance 005 (2 cds) mixed by James Holden? it's a mix between several styles, electro, house and prog trance i think... very very nice anyway

Thanks for the replies people!

Tranceaki, yes i like Clamaran and Junior Jack.

Freak, yes i already to that. I like to style cross, but i need to ask about trance, since it's pretty much unknown territory for me and i seem to hate most trance...

I'll try to listen to those cd's Laughingfennec.

Saints & Sinners � Pushin� Too Hard (Futureshock Remix)

Posted by tall paul 2 on Feb-01-2004 23:59:

Sandy B - Make the world go round (Kid Creme Remix). Probably an inbetween house and trance tune..

Soleil Vert - Fantasy (Club mix)

Like TrAnCeAkI said.. Junior Jack and Antoine Clamaran id go for.. not too housey, but certainly not trance

Try

Critical 7 - Lost (Descent Remix)

Kind of has some house elements

Posted by Laughingfennec on Feb-02-2004 13:13:

i forgot to mention this track :

Blank & jones - secrets & lies (Saints & sinners remix) quite repetitive but i love it!

PS : it has nothing to see with Blank & jones style
