Using Phrygian mode to make Techno beats

You should be using Phrygian mode to make your techno beats.

Hey people i have been seeing lots of newbies online make track after track in the same key. Same scale, same chord progression. You have to get out off that same old rut of doing things the same things all the time. After a while your music will be boring and pretty much lifeless.

So i made this video of me making a techno beat in phrygian mode to show you what you can do when you think outside the box. When you get away from the normal natural minor and natural major scales and reach outside the box you just may actually learn something, and most of all breathe new life into your music.

So watch the video below. Just keep in mind this riff i made for your viewing pleasure is only a 2 bar loop. i will be making a full on 32 bar loop to show you just what you can accomplish when you think outside the box. I know i sound like a robot, but when you think outside the box with your music you're music really comes alive.

So, if you are not using any other modes other than the normal popular ones. Have a look at my video and start using some different modes yourself. Modes are not popular i should take that back, they are not new. Its just some guys and gals prefer not to use use music theory and they overlook some concepts that will most likely had took there music to the next level and beyond. That is why i have been writing my music theory/edm ebook that should be published soon to teach guys some of these key concepts to use in your music.

One last thing if any of you guys or gals need some Ableton live techno packs for a good price go here.

Also another cool way to make techno and is great for djing too is the Novation Launchpad its not that expensive i have seen it under 100 dollars, but it is perfect as you can launch your beats and all your sequences in seconds, and everyone will love your live dj sets you dont have to take my word for it just look here for yourself.

Anyhow watch the video below:
