You guys are killing me!
the vast majority of [worthwhile] dance music emphasizes rhythm and
texture above tonality. And while we can discuss what's going on with
pitches and keys, it would be missing the point.
I always loved Ae cuz it was obvious they had very little "musical"
background. All of the chords and melodies were so simple; the stark
contrast to the dominating textures and rhythms was genius.
And if you are mixing melodic music, the randomness of placing different
keys and unexpected notes against each other can make for some cool
effects.
So essentially, don't worry about making mixes fit, in the classical sense
of harmony. That would be so anti-techno/idm.
