Hah, l do love those little roadblocks that pop up; I look forward to the end result, once you get around it

this forum is quiet because dance music in general is a bit shit right now, reminds me of about 10 years ago

This forum is quiet because the onset of social media provided a lot of new outlets that are more convenient for discussing and sharing music, along with the fact that Trance just simply isn't as popular as it used to be.

I suppose I should post on-topic, as well.

SIT (Vlad Caia & Cristi Cons) have been the more interesting DJ's/producers for me in the past few months. They've taken the unique Romanian minimal techno sound and added a touch of melody to it, with sets that just glide along and make your feet keep shuffling. I have a feeling this kind of stuff might not be well-received here, but whatever. Shit's my jam.

Edit: Honorable mention goes to Ion Ludwig, who puts together some outstanding live sets, such as this three-hour gem. https://soundcloud.com/ion-ludwig/i...g-live-club-der

I really don't get why someone would say that in 2016. The music is totally different to the minimal/electro dominance of 10 years ago. For all the hand-wringing about trance and progressive being dead, I hear more covert trance music now than ever.

Those were some dark, dark times.

Don't agree at all. There isn't as much innovation as there used to be around 2009-2012 but the average quality has gotten really high. A lot of records coming out now would have been classic a few years ago but they are maybe getting a bit drowned out. When everything's good, nothing's great.

I think this has been brought up before - but what outlets? Reddit is shit for dance music discussion and the 'music discussion' in my Facebook feed is just people posting uncommented Youtube links and the occasional scene gossip and I have a lot of 'music people' on there.

I bought the SIT records with 'Angels' on it, really great track. I also bought the Ion Ludwig album, that one track where he sampled a church choir is lovely. A lot of stuff from that scene seems painfully overhyped to me, like that french Hostom and Varhat stuff but some great records have come out of it. I would say I'm a techno DJ first and I still buy quite a bit of that stuff. Lovely record I bought recently is this one from a new german label - http://www.juno.co.uk/products/chri...e-ep/612692-01/

Adam(420) is super into that kinda stuff (he put me on a few of these labels) but he doesn't really post here anymore.

meh, thats just how i feel, not really talking about trance i guess more techno

if minimal/electro was dominating 10 years ago, what sound is dominating now?

I'm really over 95% of that tooly boring dark berghain type stuff but I'm still finding lots of great techno to buy. Five years ago you couldn't find not nearly as many great melodic/detroit/dub/oldschool/trancy records.

I don't think there's a dominating sound anymore - that's the state of scene. Even the most fucking obscure artists that would have never gotten bookings a decade ago are touring now, there's basically a niche for everything. Like, think of that Oscar Suliman guy. No way in hell a Syrian wedding singer would have gotten gigs at major dance music festivals a decade ago! I think that's also why to some people, quality is declining - there are very little obvious classics anymore where everyone can agree they are great.

There's a summer party series here done by gingy, and on the first bill was Claude young and stingray ( Avalon Emerson as well ) but I don't listen to her. It was refreshing to here Claude young play, house-disco-techno, scratching and some DJ tricks. Then stingray came and played some crazy electro. I suppose that's the sound that's doing it for me.

Maybe not right now, but was getting into a lot of Dark Ambient earlier this year. Because we live in Dark Times, thus we need Dark Music for our Dark Times, this Dark Year Of 2016.



We had a lot of rain.

Dark German techno, melodic tech (don't call it prog!) and future-retro house would be the big ones, from where I'm standing.

Last months I was pretty much into ambient/techno stuff, like ampoule, radical ambient, steve stoll, tresor... specially after I asked for recommendations here, and someone recommended a lot of stuff with similar style

Call me boring or out of date but I've really been feeling the hypnotic techno stuff for the past 6 months with SlamRadio being my go to show. I've also really fallen in love with the more trancey/psychedelic influenced stuff like Polar Inertia who are probably my favorite producers at the moment.

Ok Woony, I'm ready to hear how much of a n00b I am and not allowed into your circle.

I always post what I'm into in the tune of the day thread. Otherwise, I'm enjoying sets like the Invite Choice podcasts, which feature new techno.

I guess Russian curated dub ambient techno? I have so many tracks I need ID'D which I havent experienced before which is great!

I started a dub project under an alias.

dude all these genre names are pretty funny right now

There's a shitload of stuff coming from Russia these days. Not just techno, but all across the board.

I've always genuinely believed that Russia is where genres go to die. Russian producers are so awesome it's almost pointless to keep making similar tracks elsewhere, because they'll always pale in comparison.

It's 2016 and I still believe the very best trance track ever produced came from a couple of Russian producers nearly 20 years ago:

I've yet to hear anything remotely associated with trance music that sounds better than this. It's why I joined this forum. It's why I never left.

And it's why I've got nothing else to say, really.

Lira, you missed this sentence in the OP probably.

Haha, it's not that I hate all of it, it's just that I started listening to that stuff back in 2010 and did so heavily for a while and I think it's an easy sound to get bored of since it's so restrained in it's form and sound palette. I also think a lot of people are just making more boring imitations of the Prologue/Sandwell stuff from years ago.

I was really into the first two Polar Inertia records when they came out and I still think they are pretty neat but I didn't think the double EP was that exciting.

For what it's worth, I think this new label does a pretty good job with the 'reverb techno' thing - https://www.discogs.com/CHPTR-CHPTR-002/release/8171477

I stumbled upon this release by a Danish label which got released a couple of months ago. Ambient / dreamy / blissful deep house jams, really liking the whole EP.

You can find all of the full versions from Youtube in case anyone wants to listen to those.

Edit: I forgot to mention that Tissu had a new EP on Lobster Theremin. I've been listening to this on repeat, RV Jam especially is fantastic.

I'm sort of all over the map right now, but if I had to pick, my flavour of the month right now would be liquid dnb.
