Being that most electronic music destined for the dancefloor is created with djs in mind, with the idea being that it will be mixed simultaneously with other tracks from a given genre - what is the implication of working in obscure scales when composing electronic music for dancefloors?
My understanding is that the vast majority of dancefloor music is made in either bog-standard Major or Minor scales. Right? Hence if a producer was to make a track in, say, a Hungarian Minor scale, would it necessarily be harmonically incompatible with 99.9% of the rest of the music in a given genre?
Is it even possible to mix (in the sense of a DJ mix) two songs from different scales, and have them sound harmonious?
I'd really appreciate some thoughts on this.
