Thanks for the constructive post Mitsu/Moeva. I particularly like the last part of the last post:
| quote: | | You take the basic formula of one set = one style too much to heart. What for me makes a set really stand out is when the DJ works with one overall style/idea and still manages to incorporate different things. You can say that there are electro and trance elements in your set and you wouldnt be wrong but those elements are always backed up by a similar sounding prog beat. |
Most of the prog driving baselines that i incorporate into my sets do sound similar, and that is a weakness i must conquer. When i look for a track (on juno for example), the first thing i keep my ear open is the baseline. Im a sucker for those low, driving, electric, buzzing proggy baselines, and whenever i find a track that catches my attention, and tends to flow with the rest of the tracks i usually put it in my wishlist. But, the track must also have its other catchy parts as well. Other elements that shape my style are melodies such as the track in 12:30. For me that track is my favorite from the set. It has that twisty feel to it, and i could visualize people melting on the dancefloor like wax + heat.
I do however mix my stuff up, but usually when i play a 3+ hour set. I like to keep my style changes smooth and gradual tho, and i often plan my sets in similar fasion, and this is what im trying to work on these days. I need to be more flexible, and have more variaty in my dj bag. Like i told shawn05, im starting a minimal collection, but a collection that will of course rub of the present style i play.
PS. I need a bigger dj case 
Rock on people, thanks for dedicating the time to listen to my stuff!
Well well appreciated.
