It all depends on who you're playing for, the crowd or yourself. If the crowd likes it, it's all good. I play for myself, and I like what I spin


I gotta go with xCxStylex on this one.

I tend to play quite a few vocal tracks in my trance sets. I usually avoid buying the really cheesey crappy vocal stuff, but I have quite a few good tracks that have both energy and female vocals.

This would really depend on the genre though - vocals are generally a big aspect of trance, whereas you don't have much in the way of vocals for, say, hard dance.

I don't mind playing vocal records, I just don't like to rely on them. For me, it's all about mixing it up.

i love vocal tracks, but i never play them back to back. i usually drop at least 2 non-vocals in between.

Good replies people, its good to find out what different DJs think, I do love some vocal tracks, but I make sure that I only mix 1 in 8 or so, I kinda prefer the sample vocal tracks though, theres just something about them, but yea, it does all depend on the crowd and your own style, one of my favourite vocal tracks at the moment would have to be Agnelli & Nelson - Holding Onto Nothing, that is one track that the vocals make it amazing.

I drop on average 1 or 2 vocal tracks per hour, and they have to be extremely meaningful... like just before a climax, or as a finale.

Wouldnt do vocal after vocal after vocal tho,.. the keys of vocals sometimes clash and makes the mix sound wrong. and well, I guess.. its kinda cheesey

I feel kind of obligated to add another post on this topic.

I really think that vocals are a huge element of euphoric, epic trance, which is a big part of what I spin. That doesn't mean that every single track needs to include vocals, and I personally really enjoy a good melodic trance track.

That said, I think it's much more common to play a large number of vocal tracks when spinning trance than with any other genre.

I would never mix vocal track after vocal track because each track should be like a story of sorts and each track tells a different story in its vocals. If anything i might do vocal track, instrumental then back to vocals, but i also try to keep it down to about 3 per 10 tracks at most.


Me too.

i like to keep vocal tracks as tresaures. not overuse them. the crowds always die, and its good to keep them waiting, waiting for the one or 2 deserving vocal tracks that make it into your set

Vocal tracks are a good thing, but they can definitely become overused in a set. Also, the short lead in and out times that are typical in a lot of true vocal tracks can really end up making the mix sound choppy. I am going to be making (or attempting to make a good sounding) mix of pure vocals. I have had so many girls ask for something they can blare in their cars that they can sing to. Every girl I know loves trance and electronic as long as it has vocals in it. Once they hear all instrumentals, they get bored. So, I figured I would appeal to the requests....

I like to start off a set with the first or 2ng song with a nice mellow vocal track then in the middle do a nice haunting or very serious vocal track then at the end do a very uplifting vocal track.

Good for building your set and for turning your set into a different direction a bit.
