-- Top trance tracks of 2012
Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »

Maybe i should start a blog just like you too. Review trance tracks in my spare time, instead of studying for my A-levels.

Maybe you should tell Mr Cameron how to do his job also - tell Armin to start making tracks like he used to and how to do that...

My point is, i will decide how and what i do with my music, you decide what you do with yours. I'm all for giving opinions - but when it's not necessary to do so, Please - be silent. Don't give me the "Look kid - when i was your age..." i do not care.

It really is very simple. You complained you couldn't find tracks that are right there on Beatport or Amazon. I told you an easy solution to your problem. I wouldn't recommend trying to argue with me.

I remember when I was 17 and thought I was a rebel because I didn't pay for music. Then I realized what it does to the artists actually making real music for the love of it. If they can't support themselves on their productions they have to sell out or get other jobs and spend less time in the studio making the music I love.

I actually managed to scrape together a trance (or what I'd play in a trance set) top 10 of sorts for this year, which is quite the feat for me considering how rubbish I am with lists regarding new music over a longer period of time.

1. Carlo Boselli - Black Garden/Hybrid Flowers [Le Galassie De Seyfart]
2. K.U.R.O. - Resolution [Psyristor Trax]
3. Spirit Architect - Reshaping Reality [Ovnimoon]
4. Suduaya - Ultimate Sense [Synergetic]
5. Silicon Syndicate - Sonic Tectonic [Icarus Creations]
6. Oliver Prime - Hello World (Take 3) [J00f]
7. Chronos - Cooperative Minds [Plusquam]
8. X-33 - White Sun [Musicon]
9. Ioan Gamboa - Karla [Replug]

This should be worth a listen.

What's the story? I only discovered this tracks in the past few weeks but thought it was one of the most refreshing I'd heard for a while.

Money is not there to support good artists for their good work. It's there to eventually finance your ridiculous rent and university fees.

That's at least how the situation is for me.

I can assure you that it's more wisely spent on music.

Originally posted by DrewMyeloWhite well maybe you're right, but that's my decision. I'm sorry i'm not you and i don't pay for music... I asked for your top tracks from this year - that's the subject of this thread. If it angers you that i don't pay for tracks, i'm sorry.

lol you fucking dog. Do you walk into the grocery store and leave without paying for your items? Why do you think what you're doing is ok? I was buying music when I was 12. You have no excuse. It's one thing to pay for most of your music and download some stuff for free on the side (as I have done for a long time) but to have the attitude that if music can't be had for free then it can't be had at all, well that's just ridiculous.

To return to the topic... I've just heard the Terra Ferma remix of Airwave - Oyama. Brilliant track, no idea where it would fit in any kind of modern trance set, but just brilliant.

01. Matt Darey & Stan Kolev featuring Aelyn - Follow You
02. Omnia and Ana Criado - No One Home
03. Richard Beynon & Yanik Coen - Metronome
04. Yahel, Liya - Creatures
05. Carlos Astuti & Matthew LeFace - If You Would
06. Tenishia - As It Should (Tydi Remix)

zzzzzzzz lots of boring cheese and commercial pop dance tracks trance my ass. That Matt Darey track sounds so watered down the rest are pretty much the same cheesy pop dance tracks.

This is bonkers. You are one of the best producers around in my opinion. Everything I look for in driving progressive trance music. And yet this is the music that inspires you?

Please explain!

Also, surely if you loved music like this you would make it too?

Here's something for all people that don't want or can't pay for music:
A track that definately spices up every Trance set...

Main Sequence Star - Archaea

https://soundcloud.com/psytrancecan...ce-star-archaea

or how about a mix between Progpsy and uplifting Trance:

Hypnoxock - Reflex

Thanks! I prefer music with vocals and I think these tracks are well written and produced without being cliched. Been listening to "Progressive" for over a decade now and i feel the genre has little new to offer. Though i think the more commercial side of Dance music these days are getting better and better. Though as a producer i do feel i have something new to offer in the progressive side of things.

Sorry I respect you man but What are you on about? I totally don't agree with your views on commercial side of things sounding better than what it once did. 99.99% of the commercial tracks released these days sound like pieces of crap.I am shocked you like these sort of tracks because they sound like soulless tripe to me.

This track by Push sounds anything better than anything you have your list they are just watered down stuff and I grew up with cheese and I still listen to the old stuff. These commercial tracks sound far better than most of the cheese you have up there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ad0qVhfdfA . Hell the remix by Ferry Corsten of Catch by Kosheen sounds better.

Next you'll probably be saying Feels so Good by Armin is trance

Catch and Troy are good tracks in which i have enjoyed in the past, and i think Feels So Good is a decent dance track to be honest.
Lets just call it vocal trance, if you have any recommendations for vocal trance that isnt considered cheesy or commercial id be happy to check them out. But the main point is that i really have a soft spot for vocal trance, and ive found a lot of good tracks that i really like this year.

This is probabably one of my all time favorite vocal trance tracks:



So if i want Trance AND vocals what am i suppose to listen to?

1. Art Of Trance - Praxia (Original Mix)
2. Airwave - Oyama (Alternative Mix)
3. Airwave - Atlas Winds (Original Version)
4. John 00 Flemming - The Fires Of Chameleon
5. Cosmithex - Dwell
6. Cosmithex - The Distance
7. Union Jack - Gibbon
8. Union Jack - Papillon (LOUD vs. Domestic Remix)
9. Slusnik Luna - Valssi (Orkidea Remix)
10. Solar Fields - Cobalt 2.0
11. Solar Fields - In Motion
12. Quadran - Rectangle (Babylon Mix)
13. Aural Imbalance - Cold Room (Ruffault's Coastline Remix)

Look I don't consider those tracks you like to be vocal trance. The tracks I pointed out are what I would call vocal trance. Even Airwave's remixes of Summer Calling is what I consider to be vocal trance. A lot of people mistake Beautiful things as vocal trance I don't consider this particular to be trance/vocal trance its good a vocal track but its not trance/vocal trance. The mason track has nothing to do with vocal trance. For me to call it vocal trance the track needs a strong intense melody, and atmospheric and nothing dull and uninspiring sounds and the vocals don't have to sound so girly or annoying. Not to mention it needs to be hypnotic (of course you can have various degrees of this)

Most of the stuff you've listed I consider to be danceable pop music. This is the problem some people think just because it has a beat and some vocals it should be tagged under vocal trance which is ridiculous. Dark/sad vocals (vocalist who can sing too) work the best for trance the happy ones sound very euro.

Im not going to get into a genre definition discussion, its just too diffused and each and one has their own views. I honestly dont see how that Mason track is not vocal trance. The tracks i listed are either officially labeled as Progressive House, Electro House or Trance. They might be more on the commercial side of things, but certainly below the threshold of mainstream.
I will post my top 10 list this year regardless of Genre instead


01. Matt Darey and Aeron Aether feat. Cath Porter - Blossom & Decay
02. Korn - Narcisstic Cannibal
03. Matt Darey and Katie Lois Smith - Red Is Rising (Aeron Aether Remix)
04. Emma Hewitt - Miss You Paradise (Venom One Remix)
05. Kill The Noise feat Ultraviolent Sound - Dying (Brown and Gammer Remix)
06. Emma Hewitt - Rewind (Katfyr Remix)
07. Kill The Noise - Kill The Noise (Part One)
08. Infected Mushroom - Nevermind
09. Klaypex and Katfyr - Let It Go
10. Flux Pavillion - Got 2 Know

None of these tracks are Trance, i will withdrawn my comment about the progressive scene has little new to offer as i realise that ive lost interest in Progressive Trance. Does music really have to be so dark and underground to be respected? Productionwise these tracks are really of top notch quality.

If i were to name any Progressive Trance tracks this year it has to be Airwave with Cathedrals of Hope.
