A bit of Mangulation always goes down nicely .... seriously, Mangler doing the opening set of Spaceinvaders@Halcyon was one of the best opening sets I've heard.
Opening sets need lots of tracks anyone would recognise ... it gives you a hook into the night, gets people dancing.
The proof is in the pudding as they say, and Mangler definately had the largest number of punters dancing early I've seen in a long time :) |

a night just full of trance?
you need some variations in the sets throughout the night
progressive trance works well I think |

yeh but you have to build it up, start off lower BPM and go faster and harder while the set progresses. |

ned?!
NED RYERSON!?!
Ive never opened for anyone. Ive never played in a club.
But personally id play something like the reverse of the latest mix i did (check tracklistings thread), not including the breaks track. Mixing trance into Sander Klienenberg - Buenos Aires or Orange - Remember Me wouldnt be too hard.
If i had more stuff like it, i think tracks like Arcane - Somewhere (Dave Swayze Remix) would be good too.
Edit: I would also like to whinge about the general way people mix into trance out of progressive. Not just people on tranceaddict, but it seems a load of people do it.
then usually
or something like
Im not taking a dig at anyone, because im guilty of doing it myself a few times, but now its been done to death i think. People need to figure out more original ways imo. |
