RE: Trance dilemma
John lennon said that that if he wrote some music at night, went to bed, slept on it, and woke up the next day with the tune going through his head, it was a keeper. If he couldn't remember it, it was back to the drawing board.
I don't think something needs melody to be memorable, just a good, solid groove. A few 'hooks' don't go amiss, either. Hooks are kinda cheesy if they're placed in there as obvious 'hooks', though.
But remember, in the context of a DJ set, a load of 'big' 'memorable' tunes together get kind of dull - makes a set flat. A set needs ups and downs or ups and ups to make it work. I used to refer to bland tracks as 'fillers', but now I come to realise that they have an important role to play. But then again, we're not making music for DJ's. I like Daddies sauce and Nik Naks. I couldn't stand Scampi Fries. I don't like fish, plus the commercial annoyed me. What was the thread about again?
Bah.
