Yes. They perpetuate the existence of cheese factories like DJ Sammy and Ian van Dahl. I suggest you give the girl a CD of _quality_ vocal trance to listen to, and if she doesn't like it then let her continue to listen to fruity crap that she calls 'techno'. :rolleyes: |

Not really, not even those 32-bar melody tunes (which are not that bad when dropped every now and then, instead of being played one after another). Although I'm a programmer rather than a DJ...
1) Build-ups: This gives you a lot of opportunity to play another music in the background and fill the "gap". Not to mention that (i don't know whether this is possible when you're playing live) but you could also play the build-up along with the final beats of the previous tune: this way, you don't have empty beats nor straight melody, but a combo of both (which makes the transition even smoother).
2) Harmony: Tunes with simpler harmonies fit better when played on top of each other (like Lucid's Out there with Robert Miles' Children) but when you have a music which is far too melodic, there's no problem if you play some tribal techno to fill build-ups or to strenghten the beat. If you have a sampler, or you can loop samples using something else, that's even better... a thing I like to do is to loop a random bar of an epic tune and develop it into a transition to another tune (usually not trance).
3) Crossing genres: Epic trance fits nicely together with nrg, hard house, tribal techno/trance, acid techno/trance... and if you have problems with the bpms, you can use the build-ups for this purpose ;)
I could go on and on with it :) |

1. and 2. are not technical points but something you should consider basic and essential. 3. is not a technical skill... to an extent.
Name me ONE trance dj that really goes technical in his mix? ( no flame wars please :p )
Technical as in numerous cuts, playing around as much as possible while all in control. |

That's good and all, but you still haven't really answered my questions. So what if they "perpetuate the existence of cheese factories"? As long as music has been around, I'm sure there's been one elitist out there that said some of it was cheese. Did the cheese single-handedly bring about the downfall of the entire scene? |

"Well i know you like trance but i hate it." she says
"So why do you hate trance?" i asked
"Becouse theres no words in trance, but i like techno tho" she replies
" Uhm thats weird , you hate trance but you like techno?" i asked her
" Yeah at least in techno they sing and theres a couple of good rnb and rap songs with techno beats." she says
"?????????????????????" I started getting confused.
"Uhm sing in techno?" i asked her
" Yeah, i like Dj Sammy shez a good techno singer" she replies.
Ok that was the point when i gave up lol.
Well i live in Ohio, expecially in small town lol, so peoples have no clue about dance music |
