Uplifting Electro?

Its different I'll give you that. That intro was killer, but it does take a reather different turn somewhere along the way.

I dont know if it really fits into the trance genre, but if your serious about promoting it, send it to some electronica labels. I'd say they are much more likely to back this style of thing. Its not my preference in taste, but I can see and appreciate the style of tune you are trying to make...

Yes, I did go in a different direction with the song than what most people would expect. That's tantamount to the MajiX (Magicks) style. I don't portend that my music is the same as what most people expect to hear, instead, I try to successfully fuse many different styles into a new genre I'd like to call TranceFusion. I'd like for people to listen and automatically get what I'm going for. I'm glad that the above poster sees that. If this isn't happening that probably means one of three things is happening:

1. I don't know what I'm doing,
2. It's not for you, or
3. You need better speakers.

1. Although at first insecure with my style, I have enough of a following to keep putting this my way. That leads to...

2. Go buy some major label drivel that has been shoved down all of our throats repeatedly, or (ok, I'll be nice) visit a place like http://www.di.fm where they have a more contemporary outlook on style.

3. We say Bose. And try it on a surround sound system. I write this to be performed with a lot of 3d spatial effects (as in a club).

If you've read this far and find yourself still wondering what all the hype is about, visit http://www.isound.com/dj_majix . You will find the freshest TranceFusion experiences there.

Here is a Fusion chart for a few of my tracks:

Ridin' on a Spaceship: Starting with a little Drum and Bass, let's make it progressive, get dancey and trancy with the whole thing, add a little rock, a little hip/hop, a little ambient, and then I give you a piece of acid laced bubblegum to chew on. Enjoy your flight on a spaceship.

Ladies and G - G - G Gentlemen: take Trance with Dance, mix in equal parts rock and rap, flavor with DnB and follow with a dash of chopped screwed with the screws filed down for chewability. Maybe this fits your tastes better.

Stereo Virus: Can progressive house still be progressive with the beat still there? I don't know but let's try. Then let's crank up the heavy metal, reprogram your mind with trance, put a Drum and Bass floor and then put the best bass hook at the end to make you re-listen. All the while I let you swim in my techno pool of effects. Be careful, these waters are infectious.

Thanks for reading,
Thanks more for listening,

DJ MajiX

Review of Ladies and G - G - .. by DJ MajiX
Genre: Dance 3.1

Fade in with a pSHHHH!!

I would like to say that you have good musical ear to create a mix so odd, good job, being that odd is good. Those claps sound very realistic, hell of a good sample... This track is a good dance song although on the down side I would take a look at the equalization of the mix once again, the splashes and those claps are a bit to high in volume, also the voice "ladies and gentlemen" in my opinion you should lower it 4-3 decibels. A suggestion: try making a bit more interaction with the kick and some hi hats, throw some hi hats in the mix to turn it up a bit... The song overall has a good feeling to it and is still fit to move all night jeje..

This is coming from an emo-punk rocker halfway around the world. Point is, if my style can get people to listen to trance who won't and don't like it (which is my goal) then I'm smiling. I write trance for people who don't like trance. But it's more than that. This is a wonderful genre. The best style of music in my opinion. But people are too bored with trance, they say it's too repetitive when rap does the looping sh!t worse. So if rap can be accepted more openly than trance, what is going wrong here? Where are people getting lost? Are they all blind sheep that only graze on the grass the machine spits out for them? If so, then I will Hack this MatriX. If people like recycled music so much, then I'll re-combine all of the most different styles of music I can into my music. I have a point to prove. In this time of hatred and malice I've found that the one thing that connects us all together completely as a race is the love of music. Music is a power that totally trancends all boundries and can unify us all as one. Maybe it's a flowery concept, but in the usual MajiX style, it will be fresh and in their face.

So now you know...
