Which type of theme(for songs that actually have one)do you like hearing the most? For me I would probably have to say spacey themes or ones that sound like egyptian type music.

I tend to like the dark beats and uplifting melody mixes. Always reminds me of good vs evil.

Anything which bounces and has a good pumping groove. For me, a track can get away with a hell of a lot if it has these elements.

Heavy, dark, deep bassdrums, raw strings or very sweeping strings. At least melody. It also needs energy and want to make me bounce up and down like a moron!

I enjoy and appreciate various styles of trance from sweeping, anthemic tracks to dirtier and heavier tracks that focus more on bass, so it's difficult to compare good examples of each variety with each other.

An opening to a set I find is best when there's a large build-up of strings and the mood is set, a good example being Nu-Nrg @ Orgasmatron Pt 2 when it opens with Trance Illusion.

The ending should be banging, with an emphasis on loud, pounding and stomping bass drums, a good example is perhaps Adagio for Strings (Ferry Corste Mix) or Dj Kim - Jetlag (Alphazone Mix). Both tracks have brilliant build-ups which then unleash.

My favourite all time ending to a set though comes from the master Oakenfold's Liverpool University set when he finishes with Phillipe Van Mullem - The Secret Folder after playing The Chase by Giorgio Moroder (Perfecto Mix).

Light and fluffy trance in my opinion has its place in a set, at the start usually, however when the set is filled with it it doesn't tend to be as enjoyable as the mix doesn't seem to progress much.

good thread...

I prefer anthems, or anything with that vocals like in Airbase vs Stigma - hunting 2004, solar stone 3rd earth, the "oh oh oh oh"...


And depending my mood I like some "angry stuff" like dj chooose - release me, or the tukan and f remixes, some mark norman (phantom manor fox example), or ANOTHER SWEAAAAAAAATAAAA .... gimme tunes like
michel del hey vs secret cinema - another sweater....k thank... gimme gimme"!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it's so nice to hear someone else say that! Beautiful description my friend, what's your fav "spacey" sounding tune? You must be a big Push fan, that where his music takes me, and it's tops
