God no. That would be boring.

But I guess it's the same as only using triads for you chords.

I would recommend if you using triads to use MINOR triads. I have tried to write a trance track in a major key and it sounded a bit too bubblegum for me. Minor always elicits more emotion in my mind.

Its whatever suits you I guess. To some people DJ Sammy is all they need.

okay thanks ive always heard that if you mix a major with a minor
that it creates emotio and tension but yeah ill try to stay in a minor triad and see if it is more ominous.
