People in NY are stuck in the fucking stone age. All they have here in the radio is rap, pop, hip-hop, rock, country.

Im not that keen on it... Ive been listening for a while now

I remember the early 90's stuff.... messed up on the dancefloor in Heaven for 14 hours or more

Those were the days.

Its a bit - wet

i think tiesto is ok but avb, ferry corsten and pvd are my fav's

Tiesto is still the best. I have liked others music, but they get boring after a while.

*sigh*
to be that young again

Tiesto ain't dark enough for my tastes.

I can't get enough of Juno Reactor... I have that shit on repeat 24/7!

errr... not this again... he's rated no. 1 dj by the general public... meaning absolute wanks who just go yeah man he's pretty cool i just go to 'raves' for drugs (generalisation but it's true)...

also big woops if he has his own record label so do another thousand producers...

tiesto is nothing but a jukebox who plays what the crowd wants...

If you are into vocal trance try out this guy http://www.generationtrance.com/

Did they release anything new after Shango? i havent had a chance to follow them sinse then.



Tiesto, I liked his stuff 5 years ago, heard few 2005 mixes, wasnt impressed or maybe i'm getting old for his type of music. my all time passion is psy trance - antix, infected, raja, llopis, atmos, asure, vibrasphere, noma, koxbox and many more.

thx for the link, going to check it out.

Yes, he would want to play what the people want dont he? I dont see the problem here. He is smart because he became #1 dj in less that 5 years. Who elce can say that?

Anyone got some nice trane/house shoutcast? I already know di.fm

in other words he's nothing more than a jukebox... i believe if you're a dj you should be playing what you like as a way of expression, not just please the crowd cause they wanna hear the latest cool tune on the dancefloor charts... becoming #1 dj in the world doesn't make you 'smart'... it's who you know and how they market you... the rest like 'fergie' and 'picotto' and nothing more than marketed tools who play dancefloor friendly tunes... i really doubt in 5 years time those tracks are going to be held in any regard... it's just whats cool now...

i checked that list of top 50 dj's and the only decent one there is Jeff Mills... read his bio check his history and listen to his dj sets (do download his dj sets his skills rip shit through tiesto)... Mills worked hard to where he is now not to mention he actually pushes new music and sounds... Sure it might not sound the best but he's trying very hard to push new sounds and not that generic crap... Some people might say chalk n cheese cause Jeff Mills and Tiesto are different genre's, but you did state 'techno'/trance...

Thanks for the link

Juno Reactor's latest is "Labyrinth" which is composed of extended tracks from The Matrix series, and a few new ones. Great album

www.etn.fm

that is the hottest place for trance / progress

that profile, and often times a song's classification as "trance" has just as much to do with who is playing it as what it sounds like.

A Brief History of Trance
Elements of what would become trance music were being explored by industrial artists in the late 1980s. Most notably, Psychic TV's 1989 album Towards Thee Infinite Beat, featuring drawn out and monotonous patterns with short but repeating voice samples, is considered by some to be the first trance album. The intent was to make sound that was hypnotic to its listeners.

These industrial artists were largely dissociated from rave culture, and their trance albums were generally experiments, not an attempt to start a new genre with an associated culture--they remained firmly rooted culturally in industrial and avant-garde music. As trance became to take off in the rave culture, most of these artists abandoned the genre.

As a genre in its own right, trance is said to have begun as an off-shoot of techno in German clubs during the early 1990s. The name derived in 1991 from a project of Dag Lerner (DJ Dag) and Rolf Ellmer (Jam El Mar) called Dance2Trance. Their song We Came In Peace is considered by many to be the song that set the definition of trance. Arguably a fusion of techno and house, early trance shared much with techno in terms of the tempo and rhythmic structures but also added more melodic overtones which were appropriated from the style of house popular in Europe's club scene at that time. (Interestingly enough, that style of house was referred to as "club" or "Euro.") However, the melodies in trance differed from Euro/club in that although they tended to be emotional and uplifting, they did not "bounce around" in the same way that house did.

This early trance tended to be characterized by the anthemic qualities described above, and typically involved a break-down portion of the song in which the beat was dropped for a few bars to focus on the melody before bringing the beat back with a renewed intensity. The sounds used in trance tended to be produced by analog synthesizers (or recently, digital simulations of analog synthesizers, often called virtual analog synthesizers), with lush "strings" providing the basis for the melodies and pads, while similar analog equipment was used to produce basic bass notes and the regimented "four-on-the-floor" drum loops. This style became instantly popular in Europe and spread very quickly. Before long, trance was spawning sub-genres such as dream trance, acid trance, hard trance, and Goa. (Note: Goa and psy-trance are arguably older, with their characteristic sounds purportedly emerging in Israel as far back as 1991).

The Sound of Modern (Progressive) Trance
The basic formula of trance became even more focused on the anthemic qualities and melodies, moving away from predictable arppegiated analog synth patterns (aka acid synth lines). Acoustic elements and spacey pads became popular, compositions leaned towards incremental changes (aka progressive structures), someimes composed in thirds, buildups and breakdowns became more elaborate and intense. The sound became more and more ethereal and heavenly in sound. This sound came to be known as epic trance (sometimes called melodic trance or anthem trance), and became the foundation of what the modern progressive trance sound is today.

By the mid-1990s, trance (or progressive trance specifically) had emerged commercially as one of the dominant genres of EDM. Immensely popular, trance found itself filling a niche as edgier than house, more soothing than drum-n-bass, and more accessible than techno. By this time, trance had become synonymous with progressive house and both genres essentially subsumed each other under the commercial banner of "progressive." By the end of the 1990s, trance remained commercially huge but had fractured into an extremely diverse genre. Some of the artists that had helped create the trance sound in the early and mid-1990s were, by the end of the decade, branching out with more experimental work. Perhaps as a consequence, similar things were happening with the DJs as well.

At present (and as alluded to earlier), trance is as much about who plays the music as it is about what it sounds like. Many artists described as producing a very powerful trance sound have most recently released tracks more suggestive of techno; DJs known for spinning scintillating trance anthems in 1996, turn to a darker, housier sound in 2000. All the while, new artists and DJs enter the fold, either taking over the vacancies left in the anthemic, "progressive" arena, or else introducing new forms, modes, and themes.
