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.

I know i sound like a robot, but when you think outside the box with your music you're music rea...

  We all like to hear a good song whether its a rock song, edm song or classical music. One thing is certain each memorable song we love to sing along to in the car or hum at the mall or at work. Maybe a song got stuck in your head while driving to work and you have been thinking about that same song all day long. Maybe you were at a underground club and heard some of the best trance songs in your life. You then go home  but, there is this one song that still has been playing over and over in your head.  Repetition Why does this happen it happens because of  repetition. In music composers utilize many forms of repetition and variations of repetition to get the listener hooked to a song and it works. Once you are hooked to the song you want to buy the album,the single you buy future albums.Eventually you fall in love with the  band and see them in concert. Better yet your song that you produce goes viral and you sell multiple copies or back then yo...
