Don't expect to be famous and big by just djing, i guess that even innovative, outstanding djs that do crazy mixing stuff by having Ableton and 8 decks playing at the same time don't go big nowadays. There are countless djing that play records and mix, do you expect every single one of those to get famous? Armin got big because he has a long history in production, and even if we like it or not, he produced some legendary tracks like "Blue Fear", "Clear Blue Moon" etc. He didn't get famous just from djing.
You have to make music of your own. And thinking of todays criteria, well, it wouldn't be difficult! Just go produce the new-style flashover-style big-room electro-trance sound and you will go big fast. The steps are easy: Get FL-Studio, make a very big fart sounding bass-line capable of shaking a huge club or event, put some 4 or 8-notes of extra-fat super-saw to play a random melody, the standard trance bit: Umts Umts Umts and hey presto! You have the new anthem! For extra commercial appeal,you can put some vocodered robotic voice with a german accent playing on top repeating a phrase like: "Dis-Is-E-Le-Ctro, Ja"! After doing that you can ofcourse keep your presents and make every other track by using these same sounds ( everyone does it these days!). you can vary the bass and the chords a bit, and/or you can make various phrases with the (can be deep or loose high-pitched) voice (e.g. "Ma-Ster-Bat-Ion-Ha-Ppy-Na-Tion") i tell you you are going to get famous man! Please don't forget us here in TA when you'll go big. |
If I was to get into production I would produce latin dance music it seems to be really really well put together. The vocals kick ass. but if I was to produce I would make stuff that sounds like Crush or homoerotic sounding stuff like z2 I want you or stuff like Ice 794 by Hardy Heller. I just dont groove on that raspy sounding stuff. I want something that sounds so freaking badass when your trashed it is not even funny. like back in the day
to tell you how bad I am at marketing I just made this dj set and it is out of date by far. and it sounds old
