Originally posted by Dj Pluviose Since Trance is basically fucked in most sets nowadays..... I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO LET IT GO!! I have a question guys, and I need your honest input. Since House is so popular and trendy now, I was thinking, that if I ever DJ for a mainstream-based crowd, I should mix it up with Trance and House. I think since House beats are generally 126-130 BPM, I think House is a good "Startup." House should be played at the beginning and as you build the set towards 135-140 BPM, that's when you throw in the Trance songs and end the night/set with some hard hitting Trance. what do you guys think? Maybe I'm just insane but mixing up styles is not actually a bad idea

Do you actually ever pay attention to the trk listings of what people upload on here and cd mixes by named dj's

By the sounds of it nope

Not anyone does including me.

People like you think it's innovative to actually build up the tempo and the energy over extended periods.

haha so true. nice one. I just started DJing about 6 months ago, but like to think I have a better understanding of how to DJ theoretically (not technically) than a lot of DJs who have been doing it a long time. They continue to play same-same one genre dj sets time after time. And I am from a small town where you hear the same local djs many times a year. My favorite genre is funky/disco house but even I get bored of playing a full set of that and am constantly mixing in a few different genres and making sure that each track has enough unique qualities from the last to keep peoples interest. I got to play at my first outdoor party a while back and opened up from 830 to 1030. I started with 20 minutes of psy-dub (trippy party in the forest, so makes perfect sense) then slowly built up my set track by track from 100 bpm nu-disco to 130 house bangers by the end of it. The crowd seemed to dig it.

I'm not the biggest set junkie in the world, really, but it seems most DJ's could learn from this video:

That sounds like an interesting set, have you ever posted a recording of it online?

Yes, many DJ's do this.

I feel the same, so instead of trance lately I've been listening to progressive breaks which are pretty "trancy" anyway lol
