Do you think Paul Van Dyk really believes in Angels? I hope so, he’ll need their help to answer for all that bad music he’s made. - Sean Cusick

Blank & Jones - Desire

Usually you want something with no baseline @ the beginning or something really neat in the beat



I would suggest

Aquanuts - deep blue see (original mix)

Foggy - come into my dream (reverse reverse.. kicks in crazy synths!)


another great one.. klubbingman - welcome to the club (pulsedriver mix)


thats pure club


gl!

you can't just bang out the tunes from the start. thats what make the top guys good... build your set... no huge tunes to begin with, they (the crowd) will loose interest in you if you start to back down...

Sasha and Junkie XL- Beauty Never Fades
Sasha - Wavy Gravy (PVD Rework)

Originally posted by uberclkgtr there are probably 2 rules to an opening track: (1) keep it simple and (2) keep it interesting. Simple, meaning nothing with elaborate melodies, dramatic breakdowns or complex structure, nor anything too long. Intersting, meaning something that catches the listener's attention.

Following on from that, I think Members of Mayday - 10 in 01 would work pretty well, the few mates ive played this tune to have resulted in a healthy response. Dunno about starting it as original, maybe edit it a bit to make it a bit more interesting at first. Loved it at Tiesto's Club Eau set though.

sure you can.. start out with a bang.. go up and down.. get the crowd instrested.. save your best for the middle and last!

you dont want to be slow all the way.. unless you spin progressive

first impressions count

There are no rules.. your the dj keep it intresting.. do your thing.. its about creativity..

layer tracks do what you want.. just dont mess up @ the beginning it will look very bad

how about starting off with something very energetic, technoish, but still mixes well into something that's a bit more trancey or progressive then move onto uplifting.

Do most people like to end with an energetic track?

I would usually end with my most powerful, energetic track, or a classsic that everyone knows.. to start off powerful is alright.. it depends on how you want to progress your set. if your comfortable with going from hard to soft melodic to progressive thats fine to start off powerful.. but if you want to work your way up.. start off with a mellow progressive track



just my 2 Cents
