Hey the tracklist is good.. but there are some old tracks there which I wouldn't want to hear in a club like Rank1 - Airwave, 1998 and For an Angel.. Those tracks are great, but they are sooo overplayed..
I reccomend you to play the track
'Flutlicht-Icarus(Daedalus Mix)' ( which you can get in this site :D ) I just listenned to it and it's fu**ing awesome..I'm sure the crowd will love it. Good luck |

See. what happens here is that the people that are going to hear me don't know much about Trance. But I have just decide to put the NEWEST and BEST stuff I have. I will leave those trackz I will select carefully what I am gonna spin.
I am definitely gonna include:
1> Safri Duo - Play-A-Live (AirScape)
2> Solar Stone - Seven Cities (V-1 Mix)
3> Future Breeze - Mind In Motion (Original)
4> Mekka - DiamondBack (Original)
5> Ian Van Dahl - Castles In The Sky (Wippenberg Mix)
6> Voodoo & Serrano - Blood Is Pumpin (Mmm Don't know... Maybe no).
7> FludLicht - Icarus (Original Mix)
8> Max Graham - Falling Together (Promo)
9> AirWave - Mysteries Of Life
10> Push - Universal Nation (I wasn't into trance so I don't know if this track is well known in my town. I will try and I am gonna spin it coz I love it)
Hope you agree with this "yes or yes" playlist ! :=)
One Thing: I am keen on Melodic Trance. So that's why I look for this type of songs. But I also LOVE progressive. |

| that's right. :) it shouldn't matter if they don't know about the good or bad stuff. the point is to spin well and have a good track selection. it's what djing is all about. spinnin' well for the crowd no matter what kinda crowd that may be. the better your track selection, the more convinced these people are going to be that this music rocks. :) more people converted to trancEaddicts. :D |

It all depends on where you live... I have been to lots of trance parties and trance club nights here in the Victoria, BC, Canada, where most trance is NOT mainstream and still relatively underground... I have NEVER heard Airwave, 1998 or For an Angel at ANY event I have been to, so in this area they ARE NOT overplayed. I think a lot of DJs take their music a little too seriously (not that this is necessarily a bad thing) and aren't willing to play any well-known anthems. Obviously some of them are overplayed on compilations and mixed CDs, but that doesn't mean cuz people might have it on CD they shouldn't be played at parties. Most people (including me) LOVE to hear tracks that they recognize, so DJs shouldn't go to the other extreme and ONLY play unknown underground tracks.
Personally I would LOVE to hear some of my personal favourite anthems at parties sometimes... so far the only big well known anthems I have heard at parties here have been Freefall - Skydive (once), Robert Miles - Children (once or twice), Bedrock - Heaven Scent (once), Kernkraft 400 - Zombie Nation (a few times), Delerium - Silence (a few times) and maybe a few others, but that's all I can remember right now... Normally, we don't hear many well known anthems here. Most Trance DJs (at least here) prefer playing more underground less-known tracks (or at least not the anthems), but DJs shouldn't be afraid to throw in the occasional anthem (most of them are anthems for a reason - cuz they are awesome tracks)
DJs should also remember that not everyone is as well-versed in the music as they are. They should be playing to the crowd and not ONLY for themselves or fellow DJs or the few people there that are as well-versed in the music as they are. I'm sure that many tracks that are considered anthems and overplayed in other places, like Europe, many people here have rarely or never even heard and would not even recognize them at a party.
Sorry if I'm ranting here, but I'm dissapointed with a lot of the trance I've been hearing lately at parties, especially a party I went to here last Saturday where most of the music was fairly bland and boring (minimal and bass heavy) without many good builds or breakdowns... It was mostly the type of music that in my opinion does NOT make good party music. Sure some great tracks were played, but in my opinion it was more suitable for listening in your car or at home or work rather than at a party... There was also a complete lack of cheesy stuff, which isn't always a bad thing or even necessary... But, It can really help get the crowd into it and pumped up... Altho, even some of the best progressive anthems with great builds are not cheesy at all... There's lots of great trance out there and I'm just not hearing it on a regular basis, except from a few good DJs.
I can't complain about all the parties I've been to though... I've also heard some great progressive epic trance. About a month ago, I went to a party where Scott Stubbs (from Las Vegas) spun an incredibly uplifting set of hard fast progressive trance. I didn't recognizing barely any tracks from that set, some of which sounded anthemic and could have very well been anthems that I'm not familiar with or just really awesome new underground music, so either way it can be done...
I guess I'm ranting more about too much bland (non-party)trance at parties and not enuff of the much preferred uplifting progressive/epic trance, regardless of whether the tracks are well known anthems or underground gems.

Hmm, as a DJ I'd build a set which makes you fly. It doesn't matter if you use some older classics/anthems in it since the overall feeling, upliftance and euforia is the thing you are after. Generally one should use a fair amount of new stuff also but always keep on eye on the 'flow' of the set. If you design your playlists with trancEaddicts, other DJs and fanatics who know everything about the scene in mind, you might end up with a set which is very boring or weird in the ears of some regular party-goer since you are very likely to avoid all that good stuff you have heard a million times (but they haven't).
Don't think trance as just single songs... parts songs are just the elements you use to build up a dreamtrip. Choose the best ones (parts) for your journey and ignore what they are called. |

I think you forgot to put in in Armin Van Buuren - Communication
A must have song to get the crowd reallly moving during the middle of your set. |

| I think u should get rid of Castles in the Sky. It's cheese & its on the radio in the US. Ppl go to parties to hear NEW muzik. There is nothin wrong w/including classics but ur orginal set was old anthems. |

90% of the people in the USA have no clue whats a classic and whats new.....

Hey..
I dunno how you want the overall feel of your set to be - progressive or uplifting... but... see what the crowd is more into.. the tracks ya got there are good just be careful when you jump between progressive & uplifting & back..etc.
have fun |
