Well, these are certainly great suggestions, but let me chime in for a sec...
I actually do this, tagging trance and techno, allot with my partner, Ian Mariano. We perform as Signal. He plays trance (with some tech influence) and I play Tech (with some house influence). The whole purpose of us joining is that we were sick of the genre wars. Anyways, I have found that the really rhythmic, even repetitive techno goes very very well with PVD and crap. all the Euro guys mix very smoothly out of any Hooj Choon record, and once you go from trance, to maybe some swedish stuff, you can easily go detroit. Than the trance guy can easily go from detroit to trance. And keep in mind, despite us being a "group", I could tell you what records he owns, we do that on purpose to add a more free flowing element to it all. Anyways, my suggestion if your stuck is go either swedish (or similar, repetitious drums is the key) or tribal. From their, do your thing. And the trance guy shouldn't complain one bit because those records are set up to mix fairly easily. If your wondering how the crowd reacts to such broad sweeps, well, lets just say its very positive... good luck!! darw_n "repetition : repeat : shift..." http://www.sphereproductions.com http://www.mannequinodd.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Phonopsia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Dave Clark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2001 11:56 PM Subject: Re: [313] i have to dj and i'm scared. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Dave Clark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: <313@hyperreal.org> > Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2001 11:24 PM > Subject: Re: [313] i have to dj and i'm scared. > > > > Anyway I thought it was a good question.
