Teh c0r: trance that has remained in your collection

So I know it's fun and has been fun to hate on trance these days and everyone has moved on to either house or techno. But there has to be some small part of you that longs for that nostalgia; that perfect track that was dropped at your favorite rave or festival which transcended your soul to another elevated form of consciousness. Or what audio novelty coincided while you got fucked hard off some proper good pills? Either way, what incarnation of trance has remained in that obscure section of your music catalogue that still comes out on those rarer and rarer moments of your busy, adult lives? What has stood the test of time under an ever more stern and assiduous eye? Share with me, oh c0r, your facets of secluded but unforgotten pearls of harmonious wonderment which once reigned supreme upon this electronic wasteland.

The ones that still get play from me
Solid Globe � South Pole
DJ Elb � Relieve My Pain
Elude � Fareday (Massive84 Remix) [Wish I had a wav or flac of this]
Ronski Speed � Sole Survivor (Sebastian Sand Remix)
Hydroid � Blue Tubes (Ava Mea Remix)
Leama � Requiem for a Dream
Vadim Zhukov � Silver Star
MK-S vs Robert Nickson � Fallback
Ferry Corsten � Punk (SF Love Parade 2005 Fuck�)
Jose Amnesia � The Eternal (Pulser Remix)

You're behind the times, mate. It's become the in thing to drop a pitched-down trance classic into the mix. Notable examples of big DJs doing it recently include Nina Kravitz, Bicep, Patrice Baumel, Space Dimension Controller... even Sasha has overcome his crippling embarrassment about what he played in the '90s and has been sighted dropping Age Of Love and Sacred Cycles. It's becoming such a trend that the obligatory Wunderground parody has sprung up: http://wundergroundmusic.com/all-dj...e-song-by-2017/

Tale of Us closed their Space set with 'Children' this past weekend, lol.

Imagine how many children listening to that were like, "Whoa, what's that?"

Too bad there isn't any new trance worth a shit to garner any momentum for a comeback.

Not in the 140bpm, off-beat bass, silly rave bollocks sense of "trance", no. But the music is getting very, very trancey again, albeit at a slower and groovier pace. Michael Mayer summed the trend up neatly in a recent interview:

quote:

Trance for me means hypnotic music, something that puts you in a trance. That's a great thing, what techno music should be about. Obviously the term got taken over by a type of music that I don't cherish that much, but at Kompakt we always wanted to bring trance back, in a nice way, in a non cheesy way. That's something we did we projects like Kaito from Japan and now, if you look around, the music has become very, very trancey again. Now nobody lifts an eyebrow if something sounds trancey, it's become normal and free from this big room Tiesto trance world. I think it's managed to rehabilitate the term trance.

I don't see how anyone could argue that a track like this is, for all intents and purposes, straight-up trance for 2016:

Hmm, interesting read.

I admit I've always associated 'trance' with the 140BPM rave music of yesteryear. Total generalization, I know.

I guess that just stems from missing out on its 'golden era' and my limited experience listening to it.

Once I got a taste of the watered down stuff, I left it alone for house and techno.

That said, I'm all for slower and groovier trance music.

Do you have any other recent examples of it (albums) besides the posted tune, which, by the end, I agree is as trance as a track can sound in 2016. I dig it.

Dostovesky. Kandinsky. Radiotrance.

The best Russian art ever arted came from these guys, trance couldn't have been an exception

Albums? Not many of those around these days. If you check out the likes of Petar Dundov, Chymera, Luca Bacchetti, Chaim, Guy J and that man Khen, you'll find plenty of individual tracks and EPs, however. And that's just a few off the top of my head.

Huge fan of Guy J, but I never considered his music trance

Or how a genre is reborn?

Considering the recent trends in house and techno, slower and groovier trance seems appropriate if it's going to make a full-fledged comeback.

Ambient trap?

You don't think tracks like Candyland, Nirvana and Twice In A Blue Moon sound trancey? You should have been tipped off when he went through a spate of remixing classics like Heaven Scent and The Fade a few years ago, which marked his unashamed entrance to arpeggio land.

What I associated as trance skewed my view of that, I guess. Definitely trancey, though.

A lot of his stuff is mistakenly labeled as progressive house. I never really knew what to categorize it as.

Trance it is, lol.

The thing is, nobody is filing this stuff under "trance"*. It's "trancey". That's not the same as being lumped in with the self-contained and increasingly irrelevant trance music scene. Guy J and Khen are progressive, Chymera and Dundov are techno. But they're all trancey.

*Except my mate who loves disco house and calls anything "trance" if it has so much as a single arpeggio.

Well, yeah, but it's music for fat people. And the elderly. That's how Latin music became moombahton, drum'n'bass became dubstep, and elevator music became Coldplay

You know it's bound to happen. I bet there's someone in Atlanta right now who just gave up on life and is speeding trap music down.

We had Souljah Boy. Our kids will have Morbidly O'bass

detroit

OT, the tracks that really stood the test of time to me (and maybe becuase of nostalgia but I don't believe it's only that) are...

Art Of Noise via Brothers In Rhythm - Dreaming: Colour Red
Jose Amnesia - Moonsurf - Joe' s Forgotten Mix
Tilt - Rendezvous (Tilt V Paul Van Dyk - Quadrophonic Mix)
Extreme Trax - Don't Stop (Yves Deruyter's Vision Mix)
Vincent De Moor - Shamu
Not Over Yet - Planet Perfecto feat Grace (Matt Darey Remix Edit)
Rodd-Y-Ler - Lifesigns (Original Mix)
Red Sun - This Love (Longredsun Mix)
Disco Citizens - Footprint (Sonic Original Mix)
Whiteroom - Whiteroom
Cliff Tangredi - Shimmer
Armin - Lost Soul Society.

Fuck, I could go on and on, and even though those are some of the bigger tracks from their periods, I still pull out those records periodically and that thing that Jack posted from Meyer, putting you in to a trance is right on the money.

Stop trying to put music in a box and just enjoy it.

Oh yea, I do recall some discourse over this on MD earlier on in the year. I been so busy since the move to Sac I've only been out to a handful of private local events. From what I've seen here (And I'm excluding Bay Area and Socal), people are still very house/techno aligned. But that said, I don't doubt this reemergence of trance and "trancey" in Europe. They say everything comes full circle, appears to be true. And I've loved me some Guy J throughout this year too

Definitely recognize a little Heaven Scent chord in the beginning

Joris Voorn's latest set is trancey. Really good stuff in there

As ever, IGK, you're so completely out of your depth in a conversation that you throw in some specious platitude to reassure yourself. It doesn't make you sound wise, you know.

I still listen to the same tracks I listened to 10+ years ago. The overblown stuff has fallen off for the most part, but it's fun to listen to those too every now and then. A big chunk of my playlist consists of darker proggy trance, but it varies wildly.

I certainly don't get why one should abandon one style of music in favour of something else, or be embarrassed by the stuff they used to listen to.

all of my trance tracks have remained "in my collection", as i am waaaay too much of a jew to throw them out. so, the relevant question for me would be 'which tracks have you bought again from beatport coz you're too fucking lazy to move your vinyl to your PC?'

MIKE features a lot; silverbath, love angel, the legacy, magic impulse etc.

unlike most i've never stopped loving it and am not the least bit ashamed of that i still buy it now, if im lucky enough to stumble across something that isn't shit. the progressive (albeit mainstream) space seems to have the melodies im into much more than the epic stuff that got my party started back in the day.

These still whisk me away from whatever and wherever I am into a different state. I totally space out every time. Daydream central.

It's what I imagine shooting heroin is like, my mind clears and i'm off in my minds eye.

Artemisia - What Comes Around Goes Around
The Conductor & The Cowboy - Feeling This Way (Solar Stone Instrumental)
Hypertophy - Beautiful Day (DJ Jean & Peran Power dub)
Grace - Not Over Yet (Perfecto Mix)
Transa - Prophase (X-Cabs Remix One)
Christian West - Eterna (Main Mix)
Natious - Amber (Silk Remix)
Pulp Victim - Dreams Last For Long (Vincent de Moor Remix)
System F - Out Of The Blue (Extended Mix)
Retroflex - Feel The Vibes
Perry O'Neil - Bass Society
Mandala - The Encore

You suck though, and won't acknowledge prog trance. Tracks like this... you were missing out. I loved the unicorn shit too, but not like this.

eat shit, scifi-TV noob!

i listened/"acknowledged" this track last time you posted it. it's ok, but doesn't get my motor running. old school prog isn't my thing coz i don't like the melodies. but old school mcprog is 2016's prog (don't kill me jack!) and that stuff has really been hitting the spot.

gai barone has had a stellar 2016 and this is the best trance track i've heard in ages, genre definitions be damned.
