What do you think of this tracklist?

A few weeks ago I made a post regarding my problems getting gigs, and all that...Read the thread if you wish to:

http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...02&goto=newpost

Anyways...somebody told me to handle a mixcd over to the guy who books the DJ's or the manager, rather than me relying on them to download the mixes from my webpage...

I just wanted to know if you think this is a decent tracklist? (At least of the tracks that you recognize) (and also remember that these clubs/pubs which I have in mind are focusing on ordinary radio-pop, with some cheesy, more or less commercial "trance" in the late hours...I decided to leave the Britney and Aguliera tracks out, since there isn't much you can do with them, at least in mixing aspects...well...here goes:

1. ATB - You're not alone [Original]
2. Billy More - Loneliness [Ping-Pong Long Mix]
3. Alsou - Solo
4. Pulsedriver - Cambodia [Extended Vocal]
5. Foggy - Come into my dream [Pulsedriver]
6. MADRAS - Woodoorave [Pulsedriver vs. Rocco]
7. Vanni G - Everybody [Radio Edit]
8. Prezioso ft. Marvin - Somebody [Radio Edit]
9. Gabry Ponte - Time to Rock [Album Version]
10. DJ Boozy Woozy - Jumpin' around [Extended]
11. Jan Wayne - Only you [Radio Edit]
12. DJ Aligator - I like to move it
13. Náksi vs Brunner - Gyere velem [Trance Energy Club Mix]
14. Jan Wayne - Like a prayer [Extended Radio]
15. Scooter - Am Fenster [Short Edit]
16. Náksi vs Brunner - Nézz az ég felé [Radio Cut]
17. Starsplash - Rainbow in the sky [Megara vs. DJ Lee]
18. Kai Tracid - Trance & Acid [Original]
19. Rhythm Gangsta - The crowd song [DONS Remix]

Appears to be pretty solid, I don't know a lot of them but the ATB and Foggy will rock in local clubs me thinks. If anything I would throw in a little more cheese, can't really hurt, people that know trance will make fun, but they won't be the one spinin' so F'them. And for the dancers, they want it to sound closer to the pop music they're used to.

Well for a demo CD this is too long. Most club owners etc are just gonna listen to the first few tracks and even tthen they will probally skip around a bit. Start off banging and rerally get there attention. I wouldn't throw in anymore cheese myself. Let these people experience a slightly different kind of music. With any luck they will like it and you can totally cut the cheese out of your sets.

I think it's pefect for a radio-pop-eurodance-cheesy trance clubs/pubs. You could add Darude - Sandstrom or Alice DJ - Better off Alone.
:D

You want me to be honnest??

Any self respecting DJ wouldn't play tracks by Boozy Woozy, Jan Wayne or Pulsedriver.

If you want cheese, then get good cheese from the likes of Johan Gielen or Green Court

A hungarian trance/dance act...They are very huge...I don't know if you've heard the English version of "Gyere velem" which is also featured on this mix...The English version sounds so lame, so I decided to go with the hungarian...9 out of 10 people doesn't understand a word out of In-Grid or Kate Ryan either, but a lot of ppl like 'em...Why shouldn't they like "Náksi vs. Brunner"? "Nézz az ég felé" has those silimar drums from "Cosmic Gate - The Wave"...Nice track...

Agreed with the first, but not so sure about the second. If they hire you, perhaps they did so on account of the cheese, or the "variety" in your demo set. Maybe you should keep the cheese when you start out, then slowly ease out of it as you spin more there, and the clubbers/owners get used to your style. :D

As per Veldrid's recommendation, I would definitely put in some "smarter" trance in the demo set, perhaps near the end, for the promoter's/owners to get a taste of the "real deal"... it might be worthwhile, and in any case it can't hurt - if they listen that far, then it's gotta be good! :)

On the other hand, if the demo is mostly cheese, and you start spinning real trance, you might get a "wtf is this" negative reaction. Slow is best. :thepirate

Good luck!
