10 top tips to write a hit house track

Posted by Craig On July - 9 - 2009

I found this really nice article by Christian Reutens on Beatportal.  It describes some important tips on how to create a good house track.  I thought the most important tip was the tracking working the dance floor.  Whats the point of a dance track if you can’t dance to it?  Here are the tips:

  1. It has to work the floor
  2. Pay attention to the tempo
  3. The arrangement ain’t that simple
  4. Work on your hook, like a boxer
  5. How important are vocals?
  6. Gear doesn’t matter as much as ideas
  7. What’s the right length?
  8. The dance floor litmus test
  9. The mix down is important
  10. It’s only house
