these tracks were played at a club that really does hardstyle... all styles... (so the mix is shaded hard to blend in with the overall club sound)

psytrance 2

upbeat? what is that*... because that's what i look for when i interpret psytance for house... i think the sound has to be bit unknown, a bit unfamiliar (too-well-known? runs), mysterious yet 'like' the more popular tracks in their undiscovered, un-commercialized, un-corporate state...

antonym downbeat (pessimistic)... that will send em fleeing!

down tempo? "Downtempo (or Downbeat) is a laid-back electronic music style similar to ambient music, but usually with a beat or groove unlike the beatless ..." (wikipedia) (hehe... looks for some of it... speeds it maybe... it is amazing how genres can transform with tempo shift...)

*Having a fast pace, tempo, or beat; Having a positive, lively, or perky tone, attitude, etc (wiktionary) (not the same as a musical upbeat anticipatory note before a measure or the 'and' or 'and a;' e.g. '& a 1 & a 2...')

psytrance 1

i first came into music inspired a little bit by other djs, but all the tracks were basically dance vocals, funky house... the lighter side of electronic music we usually hear in gay dance clubs... this is great stuff, but then i discovered... straight people had it better!

i don't know how they do it... straight djs find audiences for all manner of hardstyle, techno, trance... there are a lot of genres out there....

i propose to do shades of psytrance... (more like hints)

if i go too dark, i think i will turn our audiences off...

if i stay light, well, there are plenty of gay djs that do light...

so i am looking to do a spectrum of sound that ranges from progressive house to real psytrance so that the sound sparkles... and gives us an atmosphere that makes us vital, part of the living... with some vocals, but lots of instrumentals... and hopefully a wonderful background for us to lead our funny, snarky second lives by for an hour or two...
