Planning sets and using harmonic mixing is fine. As long as you are making a mixtape or a CD. But you shouldn't do this in a club. Just imagine, if you planned a set of nice, melodic, chilled trance, and the guy before you plays some banging hard techno or something, what the fuck are you supposed to do? Everyone's just going to walk out or go and sit down if you start playing melodic stuff. It might be the tightest, most professionally mixed set in the world but if the crowd don't want to hear it then you're shafted.

And plus, harmonic mixing is wasted on a large club sound system anyway. Not to say it sounds crap, but it just doesn't sound any better than non-harmonic mixing. Save this for mixtapes etc. that will be played on a home hifi or something where you will notice the benifits.

ok boys...set whent perfect ! As it was my first ever club set i had to plan it all out. Its just as well i took 2 hours worth of records as-well ,because the DJ after me was 30 mins late, and if thats not good enough, i got the set from 10pm-12pm which was very nice as the DJ before me was very dark/prgoressive. So i just fired away with chilled trance, into Trance. I dropped Marco V - Indicator ..and.. The Green Martian - Industry , as my last tunes. I didnt stick about after my set, but i beleive the DJ after me was all Hard House so it couldent have whent better. Thanks for the advice boys, i Beleive it hepled me a little , Respectz !

Excellent stuff man... u get cheered? when u get cheered is best feeling i rekon... Sends a shiver down my spine everytime....
well done, keep it up.

To Be Perfectly Honest I Think I only Looked Up At The Crowd Once Or Twice. This May Be very Wrong, But My Head Was Down Focusing On The Tables All Night. I Was Taking No Chances. I Will Gradually Relax More In My Next Club Set Which Is On Saturday 10th Nov. Cant Wait !
