My first time spinning out - Opener Tracklist Recommendations?
View this Thread in Original format
CosmoKid
I normally spin progressive house/trance when I am spinning in my basement.

My friends are spinning with Ben Lost in March. They told me I can have the early slot which is 9-10 (lol). This is actually good for me since I will be nervous as hell.

I was told to keep it minimal...no big breakdowns or build-ups, etc. This is all fine with me.

My problem is not really knowing good tracks with a minimal feel to them.

I tried playing a set the other night and while i started out with just some groovin proggy tunes it ended up picking up too much at points.

DH - Phono Corona (16b remix1)
perc - biscuits for breakfast (spartak)
pavel bidlo - my pills
jerry bonham - sequence
infusion - love & ...
acrid abeyance - hot stuff (dub)
steve angello & s. ingrosso - yo yo kids

thats sort of the order. i have varied it a little with...
quivver - boz boz (shiloh)
dirty v - walking in the sun (king unique)
bombdogs - i cant explain

anyways, i need some suggestions for some grooving proggy house/trance without many build-ups or breakdowns.

old or new tunes?
CosmoKid
newer.

new enough that they arent played out too bad, old enough that even i can get them on vinyl or legal mp3.

i would like to throw in a few older tracks (yo yo kids is not new)

add another to the setlist....

since ben lost is spinning i would like to drop a remix of tilt - twelve - probably the dousk mix since its not too banging.
Greedy
well, unless you want to play deep house, just play watever and keep the bass and bpm down.
Dj Dissent

um, I don't know if you're kidding or not, but those aren't opening slot tracks IMO. I saw Armin @ Godskitchem late last year and he dropped Seven Cities as an Encore...pretty mnuch the opposite of an opening slot track.

Yep this one is great. I recommend you to play some darky prog house/trance like productions from Sultan&The Greek. Please, Wadi, remix of Portishead etc. They are great for opening set imo.
