Thinking about genres before you make a track

| When you start up a new track, do you find yourself thinking something like, "Okay, now I am going to produce a trance track (or house track, or techno track)," or do you simply come up with some sounds, rhythms, or melodies and see where they lead you rather than planning out the genre and style conventions before you start? |

Actualy lately I do have a rough genre and concept in mind usually.
I started something I've saved as 'poprascal' last night! Mmm - it'sd going to be very cheesey indeed. |

Nope
I always just noodle away on the keyboard 'till something I like the sound of comes out.
Then it turns into a tarnce track, almost always! |

If you like the labels sound then I suppose it's all good, but the idea that you'd have to write stuff to order would put me off immediately.
Probably why i've never sent anything off to a label :p |

Good for you then!
Now, if I found a label that only wanted 140bpm, 5000 note per minute wall of noise Trance i'd be signed as well :D |
