It's either introduce 2 new things every 8 bars, or introduce something every 4 bar...
or else you're dead to me.

What if I pretty much keep it the same for 32 bars, only introducing non-incremental tweaks to build tension and then land a metric--ton of change to kick in a mean groove that has all the head-shakers rolling their eyes into the back of their skulls and breaking their molars as they bounce their heads on their knees?
Is that enough?

But, then DJs would have to learn to beat-match in half the time. We can't have that. Our job is to make them look as good as possible while they pretend like they're actually doing something (cough...Guetta).

one thing producers need to start doing is making their intros interesting enough for a non dj to listen to. You need some sort of element right from the start that will make people keep listening.

I don't really know. I'm just whoring out the song. It kind of does what I suggested earlier, but still relies on a few 8 bar changes to affect that. :p

The intro has changes every 4 bars. It makes it little more akin to a pop production.
Some old school trance tracks would introduce with a chord progression. DJs would obviously not mix in from that point, but if you were listening to the entire thing on an ipod, the pads or whatever would make the song more patellable.

I'm with you on that. I can't stand the percussion intro for 60+ seconds. Every time I show a track to somebody they get annoyed right from the get go since nothing happens. I don't even enjoy listening to full tracks anymore for the same reason. There is no way people will get the exposure they want if they keep doing this.
