Ok people, can you guys help me by naming none trance songs for my first gig?
Mostly good electro n housy stuff that would sound somewhat like trance.
For example stuff that sounds like this..
Montano & Coto - Chala (High Noon At Salinas Remix)

| You're not gonna have fun, you're not gonna feel prepared, and you're not gonna be able to really get into it. It's unfortunate but it's the truth. I learned the hard way! |

The worst is when they tell you you'll be able to play what you want, and people will be expecting it, and it turns out not to be the case at all... :( |

Yup, I had to turn down a deal for $1000/month for playing 4 hours a night, 2 nights a week in a local bar exactly because of that. Just when you're the most inspired, and YOU KNOW you're having an amazing night comes the ing manager and tells you to 'tune it down' or 'play something with vocals', or 'play some top 40 stuff'. Can't tell you how aggravating that was. :( |

Ok forget that stuff people, it's a fun gig. Yeah I can't play trance but I can play stuff that's on the borderline. ie progressive, housy, electro..
It's only due to that the main room is going to be trance.
This is a big opportunity and yes I will have fun!
So please lets skip the pessimism..:D |

| When's the gig? If you've got time I'd start listening to some House DJ's that you like and get some tracks together... |
