I'm guessing start hard and end soft. Mauro picotto is something good to start off. Marco V could come around there. I'm guessing you could do any order you want, and then do anything you want for a while, then drop columbia, and then drop the good stuff like tracesetters, nu nrg, and tastexperience, and then end it with rank 1! I'm not a dj so i don't know exactly how things will go, but i would like a set like that.

First off, that's an awesome list of tracks to make a set of.

Try not to jump around too much in terms of beat and genre. Group your availible tracks by sound, such as progressive, hard trance, uplifting, and so on. Then construct the order you want these sounds to flow and put in about four tracks of each.

I recommend starting with something slow and minimal, then building up to progressive with a some energetic tracks thrown in. Make a few small breakdowns by alternating between progressive and uplifting. Then choose a tune to break out the full energy and start the main movement of the set. Lead into some powerful tracks like GODD and keep up the relentless beats for a few more tracks. Then slowly let off and slide down into some chill tracks before finishing off with a kick ass anthem of your choice. Fits nicely into the time slot.

I kinda agree with Cobalt, dont start with the hardest 150bpm tune you can find in the beginning, atleast I find it very hard to relate to a intro which consists of a fast beat and maybe a snare.

Nah, take it up instead so you kinda flowingly goes into everything without thinking, thats how it should be.

Mate with tunes like that it should be pretty easy to get them goin! (if their taste is anything like mine!!!)

Personally I'd start a bit slower, for example, Star Guitar, and PVDs Vega (starecase mix), just to get people into it. Brng it up slowly coz people (esp. fucked ones!) need time to get themselves involved in the music. You have got quite a lot of pumping tracks there and if you play epic monolith as your first tune you don't leave yourself much to build up to.

Split your anthem-type tunes up with less epic tunes so people sit up and pay attention when they hear something big coming in. I think it'd be good if you dug out few more progressive type tunes to put in between coz even though I love most of he tracks you've got there, I'd struggle to dance to them all one after another.

It would be quite hard to plan the whole set unless you write it down, so its probably better to keep an eye on what your audience are up to. If they look bored, throw PVDs mix of Blank and Jones at 'em, whereas if they start becoming disinterested with antherm after anthem you need to slow it down with less full-on tunes, then bring it up again.

On the other hand, if their a bunch of fairly fucked mates and havin the time of their lives at a house party they might just wanna have it to a load of decent tunes regardless of the order your playin them in!!!

Hope thats some help, hope you have fun too!

Wow! Excellent feedback!
Thanks everybody...I was struggling with this for a while. Althogh the party isn't until August, I just wanna general idea of what you guys would do with these records.
I was thinking maybe start off slow and cinematic with Tastexperience, and lead into uplifting, mellow trance, then drop them down into a darker, more progressive side before rising up gradually with hi energy tracks and finish off with a bang.
But yeah, great ideas! Thanks again!
Also forgot to mention the Beautiful Strange 2x12"...
and possibly Delerium - Silence(Tiesto and Airscape mixes) and the allmighty Bedrock - Heaven Scent(Evolution Dub and Original)
