Okay so i’m trying to write a track with similar riffs to sweedish house mafia ‘Dont you worry child’ I’m very interested in what mode it was written in. I have watched the music theory videos and was wondering which are the most common modes in this euphoric type of EDM. Any comments would be helpful.
Thanks.
Try to learn the maj. and min. triads.(not memorize them but get comfortable with them. All you gotta do to do this is just keep looking through them and play them on a keyboard one at a time till you get formilular with how each one sounds, day by day or hour by hour if you want faster results lol jk don’t tired yourself out… you mind needs to rest to rewire itself.
Common songs in uplifting music will definitely be in a major key so explore some of the major triads, but def take notice not all uplifting styles are in a major key. you can still make an uplifting song in a minor key its gonna sound different not as happy but its still cool.
I guess make a track in D major if you wanna make a song that sounds like this one.
Then you should make the same kinda song(same approach that is) in a minor key to hear the difference. this will open up your ears so much
D major triad - D F# A
D minor triad - D F A if you notice D minor has the same notes as C major (the most basic mode.) so since D is the 2nd note in C major scale it is the the 2nd mode which is called dorian.
* There are 7 notes in a Basic scale(if you do not know this.)
So another name for D major is D Ionian. 1.D 2.E (3.F#) 4.G 5.A 6.B (7.C#) 2 sharps in this key…
*And there are 7 different modes in a basic scale, hope y’all are getting the picture now.
1.Ionian - D
2.Dorian - E
3.Phrygian - F#
4.Lydian - G
5.Mixolydian - A
6.Aeolian - B
7.Locrian - C#
Sylight - thanks very much for the explanation it seems a whole lot clearer now. I will try what you said. I am trying to learn more about chords and key, modes etc to see how things work and why. Trying to gather as much information as possible on the music theory side as well as the production. Thanks once again.
Also thanks maven for the key of the song. 
No problem man I’m glad I could help ya
anymore questions just shoot em out there and ill try my best to give you good/important feedback. nothing speaks to me more then a person trying to learn and get to the next level.
Cheers.
