I'm half joking, half serious. People who know music theory well enough will always find a way to put two chords together that you don't think would go together, and then give it a name. For example, an A minor chord with a G major an octave above (as you're describing) it is an Am11 (A minor eleventh). But you rarely hear this outside of Jazz or maybe Classical music. And "keys" are relative when you start getting into modes, where some notes aren't exactly in the same key.Thats crazy you say that.... The scales I use are Blues/Jazz scales, I use them for writing genres like Minimal Deep House though.The music theory term for "cramming 3 notes of one chord next to 3 notes of another chord where they're all within a half-step of each other" is "Jazz".

So are you saying this is ok? lol
If so, it means the person i am getting feedback from doesnt know what they are talking about.
or you joking?
And there's absolutely nothing wrong with using "Blues" or "Jazz" chords in any type of music. They're just usually not heard outside of Blues or Jazz (or Classical, in this case). Actually, if you're using chords like this in "Techno" music, you're probably making it more interesting than it would otherwise be.
