Compiling a mix for my friend
View this Thread in Original format
kewlness
ok... just trying to convert some of my friends to trance ;)... I know a lot of these tracks are old... but it doesn't matter to them.. I don't think they've heard any of them lol... Anyways, what do you think of the tracklist? I tried to include a lot of melodic, vocal, and some unique tracks in it while trying not to make it cheesy...

btw.. it wasn't mixed using decks and I suck and I'm not a DJ... so don't ask me for an mp3 of it ;)

Here's the tracklist:
1. Rank 1 - Airwave 2003 (Breathing)
2. Andain - Beautiful Things (G&D Unplugged mix)
3. Kamaya Painters - Far From Over
4. Binary Finary - 2000 (Dumonde remix)
5. Marco V - Simulated
6. Midway - Monkey Forest
7. Chemical Brothers - It Began in Africa
8. Gouryella - Gouryella
9. Darren Tate vs Jono Grant - Let the Light Shine in
10. Baelaric Bill - Destination Sunshine (Dj Tiesto Power Mix)
11. The Gift - Seventh Day
12. Ascension - For a Lifetime (Coast2Coast Remix)
13. Twilight - Platina (Maurits Paardekooper Remix)
14. Fatboy Slim - Star 69 (Timo Maas Mix 2001)
DJ Mikey Mike
That's not really a tracklist. It's a random assortment of tracks with no structure at all. Why not just give your friend an mp3 CD. That way he/she gets 10x as many tracks.

I'd ease them in through more cheesy tracks... I don't really think that 7th Day or Simulated would go down too well...

ytea unless they like tranc ea bit already, dont put those in
the beginning of simulated might not appeal to them

Definitely definitely agreed. More cheese, less Marco V.

I kind of had a similar experience. Some of the track I used were...

james holden - nothing
amoebaassassin - piledriver (grayed out summer mix)
cass & slide - perception (vocal mix)
the space brothers - legacy
skip raiders feat. Jada – another day (brainbug remix)
gigi d’agostino – la passion
dj tiesto – close to you

and some others which I can’t remember right now. Point being, I had some catchy songs, some vocals, some cheese, etc. I didn’t put in anything hard… that usually deters people. Not too many people like hard stuff right off the top.

Hope this helps.

PS. You had a nice tracklist.

i dunno.. I find that the marco V track works well... I put a lot of melodic tracks before that.. and I think it works well to deviate from that a bit and give a different type of track... I think the gift - seventh day should work well... I want my friends to like trance... but not cheese... and no waay i'm putting dj sammy or ian van dahl in the list... i don't want to ppl the wrong impression :nervous: :haha:
kewlness
keep in mind that i also mixed this so that it would flow well and so that you wouldn't have melodic/uplifting track after another

I'll try james holden - nothing

thx... i just can't stand the rap that some ppl listen to :whip:... must convert them to trance...
