Song to start a mixcd set with!
View this Thread in Original format

Hi everyone,
I am putting together a new mix cd and I am stuck on a really nice track to put at the beginning of my mix. Generally I like to start of my mixcd's with a sort of ambient buildup into a tune, something morning-trancish with no beat for the first 30 seconds or so, then gradually building into a tune with a nice mellow beat. Maybe something like "Lustral - Broken" or "Main Element - Take Me Down (Lemon8 Mix)"...

I would then normally ease this into track 2 which would be something like "Thrillseekers - Dreaming of You (orig)" or "Veit - Sky", or "Hydra - Affinity".. or for an older example, "Alibi - Eternity (Thrillseekers mix)". As you can see I like The Thrillseekers!!! :crazy:

Anyway, if anyone can suggest some really sexy start-tracks to begin a cd set with, that would be very very useful! :cool:

All help much appreciated!! ;)

My favorite intro track to the 6 sets that I've completed is chicane - autumn tactics (thrillseekers mix). Since you like thrillseekers so much, you probably already have this track :)

I know that it starts off with a bass beat, but the begining is a great on for a set.

Accadia - Blind Vision (Yahel Remix) <-- I like using this one, try it out sometime.

DJ Hooligan - Hear You Now (Grand Chillas Mix)

altho it may be a tad too recognizable/overplayed as it's the intro to Tiesto's ISOS3....damn kickass track tho.

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions :)
Yep, as you guessed it, I already have Chicane - Autumn Tactics (Thrillseekers Mix)... very nice tunage!!!

Those other two suggestions are great, gonna check them out later when I can get onto the hub. Blind Visions is a pretty cool track, don't think I've heard the Yahel mix tho, so will check it out... Thankyou!

Anyone else?? ;)

well, here's a tune i'm sure will fit almost any genre of a set:

DJ Danjo And Rob Styles - Aragon (Intro Mix)

Try it, you might like this one!

If you're playing a real trancy set I would start with something slower and progress into something faster, something like Cygnusx- orange theme, or cygnusx- superstrings. They're both slower at the start but they have an energetic sound to them n they are both extremely trancy.

i think a nice intro would be
Solar stone - Solar Coaster (original mix)


now come on can you argue that ? :D:crazy:

I tend to choose a track that has a mega catchy bassline and mix out of it after about a minute or so. Gets the listener groovin early and interested to hear more.

Greed - Strange World (Lemon 8 Remix)

mmmm..... i love this song... nice intro track too =)
u mentioned something about a "sexy-start track" and the vocals make it very....well... sexy :D

Thanks for all the great suggestions! Can't wait to get back to my PC in my hometown and download some of these songs to have a listen. Then it'll be a case of finding them on vinyl - has Greed-Strange World been released yet? Agreed thou, very nice song :-)

I have Solarcoaster on vinyl already, yep great into, just haven't played it that much because I haven't found any records in my collection that I can mix out of it sweetly... so it has been sitting there folornly getting hardly any plays! Does anyone know a really sweet tune to mix from Solarcoaster into?

Keep those suggestions coming, I'm writing them all down!! :thepirate

Cheers!
