Ralphie B - Massive is a sublime, unique track imo. It sounds different from what was being churned out in 2001.

ughhh i found the original to be completed overrated, went nowhere for me

the D. Ramairez rmx is where its at

Well, no wonder Black Hole Recordings didn't sign Massive to their label.

They did, kinda'. It was originally released on In Trance We Trust, a sublabel of Black Hole. When it became a hit, Vandit picked it up for Germany distro', and Data dealt with the UK.

Tru tru. Thx for the correction

Ralphie B Massive was a great track. It was just about 2 years too late. It had a classic 1999 vibe, but the genre had already started to move on.

According to Swamper, people were claiming trance was dead in 2001.

He's not wrong. In 2001, progressive and tribal house were all the rage and trance wasn't as "cool" anymore. I guess if you were a diehard fan of Tiesto or Paul Van Dyk you still were happy, but a lot of people had thought the best of trance had come and gone and were moving on.

It wasn't until 2003 and 2004 when the popular sound started to become more melodic again and radio shows like ASOT and Coldharbour Sessions etc. started to really pick up in popularity for a new generation of fans.

At least that was my vantage point on the scene back then.

I was trying to find where Swamper actually said that. My bad if he didn't specify the year, but I thought that he did. This must be his post that I was alluding to:
