A bit of Mangulation always goes down nicely .... seriously, Mangler doing the opening set of Spaceinvaders@Halcyon was one of the best opening sets I've heard.

Opening sets need lots of tracks anyone would recognise ... it gives you a hook into the night, gets people dancing.

The proof is in the pudding as they say, and Mangler definately had the largest number of punters dancing early I've seen in a long time

a night just full of trance?
you need some variations in the sets throughout the night

progressive trance works well I think

yeh but you have to build it up, start off lower BPM and go faster and harder while the set progresses.

ned?!
NED RYERSON!?!

Ive never opened for anyone. Ive never played in a club.

But personally id play something like the reverse of the latest mix i did (check tracklistings thread), not including the breaks track. Mixing trance into Sander Klienenberg - Buenos Aires or Orange - Remember Me wouldnt be too hard.

If i had more stuff like it, i think tracks like Arcane - Somewhere (Dave Swayze Remix) would be good too.

Edit: I would also like to whinge about the general way people mix into trance out of progressive. Not just people on tranceaddict, but it seems a shit load of people do it.



then usually
or something like

Im not taking a dig at anyone, because im guilty of doing it myself a few times, but now its been done to death i think. People need to figure out more original ways imo.
