this topic is done to death

try out some chill out stuff, or tracks with beatless intro's eg (Overkill, Moonshine, Cristalle, Zoe, I.C.E 794 .....the first record is the most important......you could start with an ambient track, and fade it into a track with a beatless intro, to create some cool sounds......endless options

i like to start off a set with
Space Manoeuvres - Stage One

Well what tunes will you be playing at your peak? If you mention something it will help to find out your style and how to build it up.

Seems to me like most djs start out with any ol track most of the time but I have to say that Armin always kills it with his intros.

Look at most of the GU's. The opening tracks are mostly mint.

I started some of my sets out with these

Junk Project - Braintool
Hemstock & Jennings - Reverence
Alter Ego - Rocker
Beatles - Because (Shiloh Mix)
Halogen Vs. Nash T - On The Bridge (Original)
Aquaculture - Understatement

m83 - run into flowers (midnight fuck remix) gets right to business but isn't to crazy..its all over the place

booka shade - mandarine girl its a fairly minimal track which builds up beautifully to a calm synth, nice start to a set

james holden has some nice tools available for intros / outros....

dextro - do you need help (holden's acoustic tool)
dextro - do you need help (holden's noise tool)

those are pretty flippin awesome...one to bring the set in, and one to close..and both use similar chords and what not to give a uniform feel...woo holden!
