I recently Got A Gig At One Of The Local Clubs In This Town I Am In...Trance Does Not Exist Here,So Im Taking It Upon Myself To Change That.I UNDERSTAND That It Can Mean Good Things And Bad,But Someones Gotta Spread The Wurd.

The Event Itself Is Like A Rave,But Once Again It Is A Town,So Im Not Expecting Much.Heres What I Got So Far:

Crush-Paul van Dyk
The Future-Joop
Samplified (Marko Nastic Remix)-Lucca
Fancy Fair-Randy Katana
A.K.A-Sander van Doorn
Pictures (Paul van Dyk Remix)-Timo Maas
Without You-Dogzilla
Proximus-Mauro Picotto
Voyage-Yahel&Eyal Barkau
Fire-Ferry Corsten
Speed Of Sound (Steve Porter Remix)-Coldplay
Black Is The Colour (Coco&Green Remix)-Cara Dillon Vs. 2 Devine
Any Better,Or?-Marko V


Im Using Bigger Names To GIve The Ppl The Feel...At The Same Time I Think This Will Work Out

Just Lemme Know Whats What On It...Any Quiffs,Comments,Insults,Assult Rifle Purchasing...Keep Me On The Up...Thanx

i think you should include some more vocals and friendlier softer stuff... they may not like the crazier, harder-to-understand stuff like the Marco Nastic or Sander Van Doorn tracks... stuff like "proximus" is a good choice, as is ""without you" and "fire", you should find more anthemic but crowd-friendly tracks like that... i'm all for musical innovation and non-commercialism but if they've never heard trance before, it's always good to play stuff that'll be friendly to their ears, and not clashing or innovative

Ugh, I'm not a fan of the track selection you've got going. I think you should limit the cheese as much as possible, yet steer clear of SvD and Marco V, except for possibly at the end of the set. I love Voyage, but I that track is a little weird for people who have never heard trance before. Stick to driving trance like 4 strings, Wavetraxx, and Ronski Speed for people who have never heard trance before. That's my opinion at least. I find a lot of trance newbies love:

ATB - Let U Go (Club Mix)
Eyal Barkan vs A Force - Revolution (Eyal Barkan Extended Mix)

and so on..

It looks like a good set to me, but I have to agree with what the posters before me said try to be more subtle about bringing something so obscure. Maybe you could also include some remix tracks that appeal to the top 40 people who are familiar w/ radio music (pop, rock etc).
Also why not throw in some more 2001-2002 trance like PPK - Resurection or Sandstorm. just throwing some names of tunes out there, not to be taken seriously except when spinning to a particular type of crowd.
