My first time spinning out - Opener Tracklist Recommendations?

I normally spin progressive house/trance when I am spinning in my basement.

My friends are spinning with Ben Lost in March. They told me I can have the early slot which is 9-10 (lol). This is actually good for me since I will be nervous as hell.

I was told to keep it minimal...no big breakdowns or build-ups, etc. This is all fine with me.

My problem is not really knowing good tracks with a minimal feel to them.

I tried playing a set the other night and while i started out with just some groovin proggy tunes it ended up picking up too much at points.

DH - Phono Corona (16b remix1)
perc - biscuits for breakfast (spartak)
pavel bidlo - my pills
jerry bonham - sequence
infusion - love & ...
acrid abeyance - hot stuff (dub)
steve angello & s. ingrosso - yo yo kids

thats sort of the order. i have varied it a little with...
quivver - boz boz (shiloh)
dirty v - walking in the sun (king unique)
bombdogs - i cant explain

anyways, i need some suggestions for some grooving proggy house/trance without many build-ups or breakdowns.

old or new tunes?

Posted by CosmoKid on Feb-03-2005 17:27:

newer.

new enough that they arent played out too bad, old enough that even i can get them on vinyl or legal mp3.

i would like to throw in a few older tracks (yo yo kids is not new)

add another to the setlist....

since ben lost is spinning i would like to drop a remix of tilt - twelve - probably the dousk mix since its not too banging.

well, unless you want to play deep house, just play watever and keep the bass and bpm down.

mmmmm....deep house

um, I don't know if you're kidding or not, but those aren't opening slot tracks IMO. I saw Armin @ Godskitchem late last year and he dropped Seven Cities as an Encore...pretty mnuch the opposite of an opening slot track.

Yep this one is great. I recommend you to play some darky prog house/trance like productions from Sultan&The Greek. Please, Wadi, remix of Portishead etc. They are great for opening set imo.

i like to open with, god within - raincry

Posted by Zack Roth on Feb-04-2005 04:28:

idk, 9-10 slot...I would be picking out Progressive House b-sides at first, maybe progress into some darker stuff when people started to fill in.

if its only 1 hour, i'd say play something with the energy along the lines of Chris Micali - Your Life Better. low energy to get the crowd feeling a warm up vibe.

yeah, awesome tracks. But there won't be anybody in the club to hear them at 9:00.

Werd, especially Largo. Sets the mood so great.
