African Marriages - Part 2

Almost all African marriages include dowry or bride's price or "lobolo" or "bohadi". A young man would not feel good if he is not required to give "lobolo" or "bohadi", The amount of money or property or number of cows varies from one family to another and from one tribe to another. A young man pays "lobolo" according to the standards and status of that family or tribe. When the two negotiating teams have finished their job, which might involve two to three visits depending on whether they do not reach a deadlock, a date for sealing a covenant or relationship between two families would be arranged. Normally the prospective bride's family arranges that ceremony, which is also coupled with the ritual of receiving and accepting the prospective bridegroom into the family as their son. A sheep is slaughtered and its blood is used as a material to seal to a covenant and confirm a relationship between two families.

Traditionally a man does not pay the bride's price or dowry or "bohadi" or "lobolo" in full because that would be interpreted to mean that his family is breaking ties with his prospective wife's family. In fact, the young man must be seen to be struggling to pay the rest of the amount, and a concession would be made for him to pay less than the amount originally required. He would pay 80 to 90% of the "bohadi" or "lobolo", and the rest would remain as a balance or debt. The young man is not expected to pay this amount of money or cows. He is eternally indebted to his family-in-law at two levels, (1) for receiving a precious gift of a wife, and (2) for the balance of "lobolo" or "bohadi" that he does not have to pay.

It should be noted that "lobolo" or "bohadi" is not a price to purchase a woman, but a gift to the other woman's family, and a test to a young man to check if he is capable of providing for his family. Women are precious in African culture, and they are not for sale. In fact, women are encouraged to leave if they are continuously mistreated, especially if both families have tried but have not been able to resolve that conflict. The same applies to a young man. If a young woman misbehaves, and both families are not able to solve that problem, a young man is encouraged either to divorce or (in some cases) to consider polygamy.

African Marriage ceremonies vary from one family to another and from one tribe to another. Marriage is a community event. Among many traditional Africans, there are no invitation cards. For example, in Sesotho culture, a white flag or cloth is flown higher at the bride's home as a sign to communicate two messages, namely, (1) that there is a wedding in this house, and (2) the entire community is invited.

African marriage ceremonies are often conducted on one day, or two days or even several days - depending on the traditions of the family or tribe. Ceremonies vary from one family to another. There is a lot of preparation in terms of songs to be sung, speeches to be made, counselling of the bride and bridegroom by representatives from families, community, elders, church, king or chief of the territory, friends and neighbours. There is a lot of exchanging of gifts between the two families, gifts from the community members to the newly wedded couple. Marriage brings two families into one.

I think Africa has something to offer to the world in terms of its family and marriage structures, especially in the light of the fact that marriages are under attack and are crumbling. Extended families are critical in ensuring the stability and support of marriages. Uncles and aunts, grannies, and relatives should play a critical role in forming a support for the newly wedded couple. This will ensure a healthy family, healthy tribe or society, and a healthy nation. The wellness and health of the family are critical in providing a healthy nation, and producing peaceful societies.

Like in many cultural groups, African marriages are not perfect and still need to learn from other cultural groups, but Africa has its unique contribution to the world in terms of supportive family and marriage structures, and the concept and practice of "ubuntu".

Singing And Acting Career Of Frank Sinatra

Frank Sinatra, also affectionately also known as Old Blue Eyes was probably the most outstanding popular music singer of the 20th century. Sinatra's only real rivals during those days were perhaps a handful of other singing superstars such as Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Elvis Presley, and the fab four or The Beatles.

In a professional singing and acting career spanning more than six decades, Sinatra demonstrated a remarkable ability to maintain his popular appeal to his fans across almost two generations. This is a ringing endorsement of the status of this singing and acting superstar.

Frank Sinatra's singing career started during the big band swing era of the 1930s and 1940s. His first number one hit on the charts was in 1940 and was still making million-selling recording rights up to 1994.

This superb entertainer was able to take the work of great composers of the 1920s and 1930s, such as Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Jerome Kern , Cole Porter and Richard Rodger and turn their compositions into masterful singing pieces and enshrined them into eternal classics.

Sinatra was the son of a humble fireman and dropped out of high school to pursue a career in singing much to his father's disappointment. In September 1935, the young Sinatra appeared as part of the singing group, the Hoboken Four on Major Bowes' Original Amateur Hour show. The quartet won the radio show contest and toured the country with Bowes.

Sinatra then took up a job as a singing waiter and MC at the Rustic Cabin in Englewood, New Jersey. He was singing there in early 1939, when he was talent spotted by trumpeter Harry James, who had organized his own big band after leaving Benny Goodman, which was another famous big band leader of that era. Harry James hired Sinatra as a singer in his band and Frank made his first recording on July 13, 1939.

At the end of 1939, Sinatra accepted an offer from the more popular big band leader Tommy Dorsey. Over the next two and a half years, he was featured on 16 Top Ten hits recorded by Dorsey and his band, amongst them the legendary chart-buster "I'll Never Smile Again," and was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

During this while, young Sinatra also performed on various radio shows with Tommy Dorsey and his band. He also appeared with the band in movies such as Las Vegas Nights in 1941 and Ship Ahoy in 1942.

Frank Sinatra started out his solo singing career in early 1942 showcasing his singing talent by recording a four-song session arranged and conducted by Axel Stordahl. One of the songs was Cole Porter's "Night and Day," and that song went on to become his first hit chart entry under his very own name.

His big break came from his engagement as a singing support act to Benny Goodman at the Paramount Theatre in New York, which began on New Year's Eve. This engagement catapulted his singing career and made him the first real teen singing idol, with throngs of girls screaming and swooning in the aisles.

From then on, Sinatra's singing career never looked back. His singing talent scored him another successful chart topper with "There Are Such Things," occupying number one position in January 1943. Then in August that same year, the singing superstar did another chart buster with "In the Blue of the Evening". From then on, Sinatra successfully scored hits after hits with songs such as "It's Always You,", "I'll Be Seeing You," and "All or Nothing at All".

Frank Sinatra did many radio shows around that time and in April 1943, he made his first credited appearance in a movie, singing "Night and Day" in Reveille With Beverly which launch his acting career.

This was followed by Higher and Higher in which he played a minor role acting as himself and followed up with another movie, Step Lively which was released in mid 1944 in which he played a larger role. In November 1944, he returned to cutting records, beginning with a cover version of Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" which was again another chart topper. Sinatra then hired Styne and Cahn to write the songs for his first MGM musical, Anchors Aweigh, and over the course of his successful singing career, he recorded more songs by Cahn than by any other songwriter.

Anchors Aweigh, in which Sinatra was paired with Gene Kelly, was released in July 1945 and went on to become the most successful film in 1945. He then went on to appear in many more movies such as MGM musicals On the Town and lower budget ones such as The Kissing Bandit.

At the same time, he continued to hit eight Top Ten hits in 1947 to 1949 which included "Mam'selle," which hit number one in May 1947, and "Some Enchanted Evening," from the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical South Pacific.

By 1950s, his singing career was on the decline, but he was still very active. At the fall of 1950 marks his first venture into television. His film work had nearly subsided athough in March 1952 he was featured in the drama Meet Danny Wilson which tested his acting skills on stage which gave him the opportunity to sing some of his greatest songs such as Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer's "That Old Black Magic," "I've Got a Crush on You" by George and Ira Gershwin, and "How Deep Is the Ocean" by Irving Berlin.

Then in 1955, the singing superstar hit number one again with the single "Learnin' the Blues" and the 12 inch album, "In the Wee Small Hours "which was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Sinatra acted in a television special in November 1965, A Man and His Music, and released a corresponding double vinyl album, which reached the Top Ten chart and also went gold. A Man and His Music won the 1966 Grammy for Album of the Year. Following this release, Old Blue Eyes catapulted back to number one on the singles charts for the first time in 11 years with "Strangers in the Night" in July 1966. This song also won him 2 Grammys for Record of the Year and Best Vocal Performance.

Towards the end of 1966, the singer released two more Top Ten albums, Sinatra At The Sands and That's Life. In April 1967, he was again number one on the singles charts with "Somethin' Stupid," a duet which he sung with his daughter Nancy Sinatra. Frank Sinatra's Greatest Hits was a compilation of his 1960s singles successes released in August 1968, was a million-seller.

Then in March 1969, perhaps the most recognized Sinatra song, "My Way," with lyrics specially written for him by Paul Anka was released. This amazing single reached the Top 40, and an album of the same name hit the Top Ten and went gold.

Frank Sinatra then announced his retirement in early 1971 at the age of 55. However, he burst into the limelight again in 1973 with a gold album and a TV special called Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back. In the twilight of his career, Sinatra cut down on producing albums, acting in movies and television in favor of live concert tours.

For six years, he did not release any albums until March 1980 with a three-LP set, Trilogy: Past, Present, Future. The most memorable track from the trilogy set was perhaps "Theme From New York, New York," the title song from the 1977 movie.

He returned to Capitol Records in 1993 and recorded Duets, on which he re-recorded his old songs, joined by other popular singers such as Tony Bennett, Elvis Costello, KD Lang and Bono of U2. It became his biggest-selling album selling over three million copies world wide. This was followed up in 1994 by Duets II, which won the 1995 Grammy Award for Traditional Pop Performance.

Frank Sinatra finally retired from acting and performing entertainment when he turns 80 in 1995. He died of a heart attack 2 years later when he was 82. Today, his songs are still heard in concert halls and clubs all over the world.

Protecting your Website Legally From the Music Industry

In the connected world, where businesses pop up like dandelions and anyone with a computer can upload video, audio and text-based content to be shared across the web, it is of growing importance to understand the potential legal ramifications associated with these technical advancements.

Most internet businesses make use of some sort of rich media on their websites such as video or music. What most don’t realize is that even the smallest S-Corp can find itself in hot water if it doesn’t understand the basics.

The intent of this article is to focus on the use of production music (music on your website) and the ways you can protect your business or yourself from copyright infringement.

What is production music?

Production music is music intended for use in connection with films, corporate videos, Television shows, commercials, Internet video, multimedia and any other form of media that requires music.

If you’ve ever listened to an advertisement on the radio, watched an infomercial, or heard menu music on a video game, then you have probably heard production music.

Production music libraries cover a multitude of genres, providing music for most tastes at varying levels of quality. Traditionally, production music comes in shorter lengths. These lengths are normally 30 seconds, 60 seconds and 90 seconds.

Production music also comes in different variations known as full and reduced versions. Reduced versions are identical to full versions with the exception of one or possibly two of the main instruments having been removed.

Who uses production music?

Production music is most widely used by industry experts like; video editors, producers, music supervisors, videographers, and creative directors. Although increasingly, it is being used by relative amateurs for websites, podcasts, streaming video and more.

How do I Get a License?

Something called a Synchronization License or Sync License must be obtained for the music in question before it can be utilized in any audiovisual production, such as a motion picture, television program, television commercial, video production, or website.

Sync Licenses come in different shapes and sizes. Two of the most popular are a Drop License and Blanket License. They are most commonly made available by production music publishers such as Slynth (www.slynth.com).

How do I get a Sync License?

Production music publishers will usually license music on what is called a needle drop (a.k.a Drop License) or a Blanket License.

A needle drop or Drop License is a license that requires payment for individual songs. The prices for each song vary depending on the type of production in which the song is being used. The rule of thumb when pricing Drop Licenses is - the larger the audience, the higher the price. (Rate cards can be requested with Drop Licenses.)

A Blanket license is a license that affords a user either a set number of music selections or unlimited use of music selections in any given production. The distinction between a blanket and drop license is a drop is issued for one song, a blanket for many. Obtaining a blanket license involves dozens of variables, so it usually requires some negotiation. Venues such as radio stations or night clubs will often require blanket licenses.

Is A Sync License the Same as a Performance License (Permission from the Musician)?

Unfortunately, no it isn’t. Obtaining a Sync License doesn’t absolve you from getting legal permission from the artist. And, seeing as musicians aren’t known for their knowledge of the legal system, you might imagine that obtaining such a license would be rather difficult. In actuality, the opposite is the case.

The reason for the relative ease of obtaining a Performance License is most musicians are represented by one of two agencies or “performance right societies” that handle the legal jargon. These societies manage the right of performers and see to it that artists get paid when you play their songs in a “public” venue.

Performance rights societies such as ASCAP, BMI and SESAC collect monies for composers and publishers. These societies handle Performance Licenses and should be consulted before you publish any finalized work.

Who needs a performance license?

Anyone who uses copyrighted music in a public place including radio and television stations and/or their networks; all new media, like the Internet and mobile technologies such as ringbacks and ringtones; satellite services like XM and Sirius; discos, nightclubs, bars, restaurants, hotels, and other venues. This includes digital jukeboxes and live concerts. All should obtain a performance license.

What happens if I don’t have a performance license?

Production music users are in danger of copyright infringement without a license from a performing rights organization. If you’re an individual with a small audience and no real money (ie you’re not a business), then you are at lower risk of having suit brought against you for copyright infringement.

However, if you’re an individual with a large audience or you’re a business or organization and you fail to obtain the proper licensing, be prepared to hire a lawyer.

The basic rule of thumb with rich media on your website is this: If you’re going to use audio without a license, make sure no one sees it. This may be a difficult rule for most webmasters to cope with, as the purpose of internet businesses is to be seen. Remember the best choice, if you have a large enough audience, is to be safe and purchase the required licenses.

Top 10 Hits Of The 80s

No Pucking All-Around In Xbox Nhl 10

You're a fierce Xbox NHL 10 gamer who sends his opponents to the cooler every time.} You're a hardcore player who likes the thrill of sports video game battles. You know how to brawl with the best of them, and now you're ready to show the video game world that when it comes to Xbox NHL 10, you skate to victory every time. So it's time you entered the arena, and duked it out, when you play sports video games for money. Wagering each other in sports video games for cash -- these players aren't screwing around. To display your unquestioned status in sports video games, garnering up a string of victories, along with your opponent's cash, is the path to declaring your impressiveness.} Not that playing Xbox sports video games isn't great… but when you play for money, it's a lot more awesome.

By now, you're thirsting to face off against the tough guys at Xbox NHL 10, what with all the machismo floating around here.} Sure, you just want to hit up the video game console, throw on your skates, head to the rink and get in the game.} Who in hell wouldn't? Just remember that in order to emerge the victor, it will require more than just overconfidence.} Make sure you know what you're doing out there… make sure your trash talk doesn't exceed your abilities. Or, in simpler terms: know the game. Don't be the dumbass who goes off half-cocked, doesn't know what he's doing, and makes an ass of himself. That sort of approach may be fine for picking up women at a bar on a Saturday night, but this is serious stuff - we're talking about playing sports video games for money.} So see to it that you only start up a game once you have all the strategies down pat. If you don't, and your rival does, well, there's nothing colder than being the one to lose the wager.

So, after you're sure you've got the mad Xbox NHL 10 skills, and every one of your shots is the "biscuit in the basket," time to stop waiting on the sidelines and turn your sports video game expertise into some big bucks. If there's one thing about the hardcore gamers, they don't walk away from a challenge. But in the end, we're sure you'll talk some trash, play your match, and win some cash.

Xbox NHL 10 is, as to be expected, a monumental step forward in video hockey games. And the animation is even more fluid. The game play itself is faithful to its predecessor, NHL 09, which will no doubt make longtime fans happy, but at the same time, NHL 10 has some new features that will give everyone something to be stoked about. More specifically, players have a brief but great opportunity to sneak in a few checks - and a cheap shot or two, which then sets the stage for the brawl that you're coveting. And it's just a matter of time before your teammates come swarming to your defense and start throwing a few shots of their own, courtesy of the new level of sophistication in gaming technology.} As you might expect from the sport known for it's brawling, these fights usually collapse into a crazed free-for-all.

The Xbox NHL 10 soundtrack adds to the overall gaming experience.} It is impossible to envisage a sports video game worthwhile empty of a quantity of high-energy songs to escalate the competition, and Xbox NHL 10 again supplies. Take a look at the rundown:} "Young Cardinals" by Alexisonfire, "Deathsmarch" by Cancer Bats, "Hellions on Parade" by CKY, "Golden Years" by Disco Ensemble, "Heroes of Our Time" by Dragonforce, "Anything 'Cept the Truth" by Eagles of Death Metal, "Oye Vaya" by Earl Greyhound, "Know Your Enemy" by Green Day, "Peace Sells" by Megadeth, "Wake Up! Wake Up!" by MeTalkPretty, "Keys to the City" from Ministry & Co-Conspirators, "Kids in America" by MxPx, Nickelback's "Burn It to the Ground," Papa Roach's "Into the Light," "Raccoon Eyes" by Priestess, "The Bravest Kids" from Rancid, Scorpions' rock anthem "Rock You Like a Hurricane," and "Fire It Up" by Thousand Foot Krutch. Hearing the stuff offers an extra factor to the entire thing - you will maintain you're down on the ice, partaking in the authenticWith the soundtrack, you're not just playing the game, you're living it - it feels like you're playing in a real live NHL game. Another great aspect of NHL 10, the intimidation tactics, give an added layer of realism to the game, just when you thought it couldn't get any better.} You seriously would like to amaz the horde, then initiate offering your challenger a risky time and invade his personal space on the stadium . They're in tune with the action on the rink.} Just as any group of spectators, this crowd goes nuts when their team performs well, and gets pissed when their team performs poorly. So you have the chance to get the audience standing up and cheering for you - if you perform some amazing plays, of course. There's something else you may want to consider, though maybe we're being kind of harsh here.} After getting a good look at Xbox NHL 10, take a gander at the junk your parents were calling a sports video game, way back when.} This was before the revolution that gave us 8-bit and then 16-bit games - 4K was as good as it got. You wanted to play sports video games in the dawn of the 80s, you played this - video game players had it rough back then:}

Though any resemblance to a sports video game is purely coincidental by today's standards, these graphics were once considered cutting edge.} All you had were four men on the non-scrolling rink. A player and his goalie. You without a doubt couldn't select your much loved team. Get this.} After being unleashed on the video game world, this game was held in the highest esteem, as the sports video game that everyone worshipped.} No kidding - that game is what gamers stayed up all night playing in those days.} This unfinished, blocky material was, in 1982, a home video game that had folks honestly in wonder of the graphics and animation.

The way we see it, your father or grandfather or great grandfather or whoever was taking part in this material was alive in the video game Stone Age period .} Even the next generation of gaming - the 8-bit games -- can't compare to today's Xbox hockey. The video game world was certain that they'd reached the top with this hit Hope you're not in too much pain from that - now, take a second look at NHL 10's features, and bow down to the video game gods in gratitude. Especially when you consider all of the elements not possible in the sports video games of yesteryear.} There was no Battle for the Cup, no Playoff Mode, no Season Mode, no Be a GM or Be a Tough Guy. Nothing else you could do but keep dreaming.} The best you were going to get at that point in time was blinking graphics and six paltry teams to pick from. On top of that, the fight scenes utilize a fantastic first-person perspective that will wow gamers everywhere.} You'll believe you're going toe-to-toe in an actual fistfight - but without the busted bones.} As in NHL 09, familiar voices Gary Thorne and Bill Clement join the action with their on-the-money commentary. Having these two on hand is nothing to scoff at, either.} Consider the credentials of these two.} Firstly there's "Clement, Clement, Hand of Cement," Bill Clement, revered NHL All-Star, and participant of the ESPN family.} And Clement's cohort Gary Thorne, another one from the ESPN team, is a pretty impressive sports figure in his own right.} Hearing these guys call the game is a mindblowing experience.} You'll be certain that they're right there in your house - that's how amazing Xbox NHL 10 is. Precision passing is the latest innovation in Xbox NHL 10 that should impress hardcore gamers. NHL 10 allows players to have better control of the puck's velocity, unlike NHL 09. Additionally, you know how to, contingent on your aim and potency of the slap shot, bank your passes off of the board.} Yet another innovation that's got the video game world abuzz - for the first time, Xbox NHL 10 lets gamers battle on the boards. That is correct sir - you can now thwart your opponent from snagging the puck by kick-passing it to a teammate, in those instances where you have the puck but are pinned up against the boards. Conversely, if your opponent is being pinned to the boards by you, now is when you can seriously put yourself in control - given you are the top hockey player on the rink.}

Not many has changed in this arena. The fastest way to top level will still be through quests.

7 Great Reasons to Dance

When it comes to dance there are plenty of wonderful reasons that people elect to dance. The fact remains that far too few of us manage to incorporate dance into our lives nearly as much as we should. There are many wonderful reasons to dance and they do not all require copious amounts of alcohol and someone with a video camera poised for America's Funniest Home Videos greatness.

Below I will suggest 7 great reasons to incorporate dance into your life as often as possible. I hope that you will take some of these to heart and find a few reasons of your own to dance more often.

Love

There are few greater reasons to dance than to show your love for your partner. You do not have to limit your dancing to your wedding night or an evening out with friends. All you need to dance with the one you love is some good music and a little bit of floor space. Dance while you prepare dinner, wash dishes, or just because it's raining outside. But dance with the one you love and do it often to keep those flames burning.

Joy

We always hear people talking about dancing for joy but how often do we really see that happen? What a shame it is that we actually take so few opportunities to dance in our society. Dancing is an outward expression of joy that is almost always infectious. Share your joy with the world and you just might find they will dance along with you. Even if they do not, you should at least be secure in the fact that at this moment in time you are much happier than they are.

Fun

When is the last time you've danced? Was it fun? I have found very few people (well other than young boys) who did not have any fun while dancing. The truth of the matter is that dancing is fun. Whether you are line dancing or trying the Tango it is great fun to dance.

Flirting

What a wonderful way to flirt dancing can be! If you haven't tried it with the one you love, there is no time like the present to do so. Find some great fun and flirty music and dance for the one you love. If you're really lucky, you might even convince them to join in.

To Make Your Children Laugh

Really, there is no better reason on the earth than this to dance. My kids love to see me dance the moves that were popular back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and share their more modern moves with me. It's a great way to enjoy your children before they decide your evil or during those rare moments when you may be on the verge of neutral in their opinions.

Fitness

While dancing does a lot to lighten the mood and raise your spirits it can also help your heart in other ways as well. Dancing is a great way to get up and moving that doesn't feel as though it is really exercise. This means that you can help your heart by dancing a little while every day. The longer you dance, the better you will feel and the healthier your heart will become.

Meet New People

If you decide to take lessons for dancing, you will find that you have the ability to meet a bunch of great new people. Dancing is a great way that many people are discovering to have fun and stay fit. This means that more and more people are joining local dance classes for these very reasons. You might develop some lifelong friendships through your dance lessons that you would have missed out on otherwise.

Of course there are many more reasons that different people take up dance. In fact, you may find an all-together different reason to take up dance for yourself. Whatever your reason you decide to dance, do it often and have fun in the process.

Here are a few Line Dance Music listings you might enjoy:

I'm going to start with Beats.

First think about what type of beat you want to use. Are you going for the standard club boom-boom-boom-boom "4 to the floor" style? If you don't know what I mean, music is arranged in a series of beats. 2, 4, 8, and 16 are most common. Each block of beats is a measure. A '4 2 the floor' beat has one kick beat on every measure. Its the type of beat you get in most club, and raver type atmospheres, I've also heard it called the "gay bump" due to it's heavy usage in the gay club scene.

To set up a '4 to the floor' beat is simple, just find a single good kick drum hit, or a prepared loop of kick hits, and paste it into the track for the whole duration. Using alternating claps is also used often. Having some sort of processing on every other kick is also common.

A 'break beat' style uses a beat that is variable, which is to say it doesn't put the emphasis on a steady kick beat. Or any other element of the beat. Think Funk beats.

For example: Lets say you are using 4 beats per measure, and you want a 'break beat'. You could do it this way. Put a Kick on every 3erd beat for 3 measures, then on every other beat for 3. Then you can use other drum, synth and noises on the other beats along the 6 measures. Then you can copy and paste those 6 measures into the whole track, and you have a 'broken beat' style beat.

Acid Music Studio makes that easy with its simple pick and paint loop system. You can also cut apart a beat loop and use the cut, copy and paste functions to rebuild it the way you want it to sound. Most programs let you do the same thing.

If you use a steady kick beat, you will need additional elements to fill out the beat. The simplest way to do that, is to just drop another percussion track on top of the kick beat, then adjust the volume to match it up.

The hard (more individual and unique) way is to do the same as a break beat. You take other drum hits, synth 'stabs' and noises, then paint them in to work with the kick the way you want.

After you have a beat, consider using Breaks. A break is when you cut some, or all of the elements of a track to either give a short pause, use new elements briefly, or add new elements. In acid music studio just use the split at cursor function (right click) with a selected track, then you can pull one or both pieces apart to create a break.

I like to use breaks to introduce new elements in the song and layer the beat.

For example, I will start a track with a simple steady beat, then introduce another element on top of it (usually a synth loop). After a few moments I will 'break' the beat and let the other element play by itself. After a moment, I then restart the steady beat, but with the rest of the beat elements I wanted to use. Sometimes I keep the other (synth) element playing, sometimes I don't.

That creates a layering effect for the listeners. They hear the steady beat, then you "pop" out the full beat on them. It keeps the track moving, and sets things up so you can do it again later in the song, without the break being a complete surprise.

The name of the game is breaking up the repetitive nature of dance beats, while still keeping the people moving.

After you have the Beat where you want it, find a few more elements to "liven" up the song.

How many you use depends on the style of song you are working with, and your style. A glitch track could use dozens of noises and processed instruments,each only used briefly through the whole track. A minimalist dance track could just use a beat and the same synth line playing over and over, just at different volumes and pitches.

Its also good to remember to use Pan and Volume to separate each element of the song, and to create more movement within the song.

Go in close on a loop and bounce the Pan from side to side. Use the Volume envelope to fade a track in and out.

Experiment, and never throw anything away. You might think of something cool to do with it later.
