House and Trance in the same set?

I was wondering if anybody has ever mixed House and Tech-Trance together, or any kind of trance for that matter? Curious to see how well this kind of mix of music would work or perhaps it has already been done?

Was thinking maybe start out with some tech house...move into tech trance..and then some uplifting trance to finish it off.

Someone told me that House and Trance are a highly volatile combination. If you mix them together, they could very well cause a nuclear meltdown fission reaction, whereafter your ears would radiate deadly alpha beta gamma rays.

it can work if done right. of course it cant be PURE trance and PURE house otherwise its not gonna sound coherent. But if you build up from some slow proggy house and work your way up to prog trance it can work.

Dogzilla is pretty good for connecting trance and house, i know one of my favourite mixes is
Narcotic Thrust - When the Dawn breaks (Dogzilla Remix)
into
Mr Sam - Lyteo (Rank 1 Remix)

you just gotta find the right songs

I think Marc Marberg - Guarana would be a good track to transfer over to the trance side of things or perhaps ferry - right of way.

House??!? and trance?!?!? IN THE SAME SET!?!?

It's never been done, man. It's just never been done.

heres a couple mixes I did that I'm pretty proud of:

October 2005
Has Gorillaz, chab, Tiga, M.I.K.E., Erick Morillo, GnD and Markus, some other stuff too. Cue included.

September 2005
Has Nathan Fake, PVD, GnD, SVD, Harry Lemon, Agnelli and Nelson, John O'c and more. Cue included.

Some of the best sets are House and trance combined, along with many other genres. It lets the set build and build and can move the whole crowd together. If its going to happen tho, the selection and placement of tracks is what will make the difference. A nice building set that just keeps pushing it is the way to go.

i as well think it can be done if it is done properly... in my opinion, a good example of this would be the essential mixes of oakie in 99. i think he adds some nice variety in his song selection by throwing in some house (i guess you could say prog house) along with trance. i really enjoy miro - by your side and i definitely wouldnt classify it under trance.

i dont think armin and tiesto do it properly.. i dont see how you can do some supersaw trance and then mix it into something like the drill

Paul Van Dyk mixed some house and trance in his DJ mag 2005 set....

I think....

deep dish.

ofcourse it can be done, but only if you do it properly

doesn't get done as much nowadays because the scene is more divided... most people either want only trance or only house. wasn't unusual back in the 90s though

just listen to some tunes by steve angello, eric prydz (cirez d), sebastian ingrosso, nic fanciulli, or markus schulz. if these artists dont produce tunes which defy genre than i dont know who does. cd1 of ferry corsten's creamfields mix is also a pretty good example...

Dekay does it all the time

Anything Andy Moor touches mixes well with trance sets, but that's another one of those that blurs the lines between the genres.

Personaly i have to throw in a hard house track or 2,have to bounce it up every once and a while.No problem at all,and wouldnt have it any other way.

FYI

Prog house is prog house, and shouldnt be comparing mixing in Prog house with trance as being the same as mixing other type of House with Trance

the whole Armin/Hawadi thing playing Angello & Ingrosso stuff with Trance is 100% retarded

Why not i do it all the time

Yea it's not exactly rocket science; a hell of a lot of DJs were doing it up until about 2001, but like you say since then the scene has become more divided.
