Congratulations on the map, my brazilian brother!... I thnk it rox...
TESAO!
copied from isratrance:
"Trance music started evolving in the late 80's under three main influences: the first was the electronic new wave/industrial music of Front 242, Einstruze Neubatten, Killing Joke and the likes; the second was the electronic techno disco of Detroit; and the third was the psychedelic music of the seventies. The first step towards what we know nowadays as Trance or Goa Trance was done in 1988 with the introduction of the TB 303 sound into straight beat dance music, and the amazing effect it was found to perform over people dancing. This effect was further enhanced by the administration of a rediscovered drug called MDMA (or 3, 4 methylene-dioxy-methamphetamine) or as it was popularly labeled on the streets "Ecstasy" and so Acid music was born and brought upon the UK the summer of love.
Now let's jump a little bit backwards to the sixties and remind ourselves of a place called Goa in India. During the late sixties Goa has turned into a beach for freaks, rock stars, travelers, and various other excitement hunters, who lived by the ancient mantra of "sex, drugs and rock and roll". Although the fab of Goa has dropped by the late 80's, a hard-core group of Europeans and Americans have remained in that place. By the early 90's, people in Goa have found out the wonderful effect of the Acid music on a stoned head and started to further develop the style. The first people to do so were Goa Gil and his friends, who were living in Goa and experimenting with various musical styles to dance to since the late 60's. Parallel to that in Europe, some of the industrial/new wave musicians have started to take interest in the new sounds introduced by Acid music. They have bended them into their heavier electronic style using more dense sounds and heavier and faster rhythms these were the first steps of the new born child known as Goa Trance. "
u were right, goa was invented first, and psytrance is a genre of it, this history lesson includes other parts aswell, but their consisting in israeli music, and thats not our interest now, BTW, this explanation does not include all the sub genres of goa, which i told to maaz with a pm...
I was going to update the map today (the goa branch is complete, thanks to Vortex_SA 
and I'll re-organise the detroit techno branch, thanks to Ishkur ), but I've been downloading several tunes lately (samples and stuff) and I realised photoshop doesn't run well when you have only 25 mb free 
(the damn thing crashed). Hopefully, tomorrow I'll do it.

Ill try to find my notes from the class and post the map he had. There was a pretty good argument behind everything he had on there. |

Posted by someone at the drum'n'bass arena...  Breakbeat was an underground music which had originally come in from the USA in the late 1970s. Frankie Bones, at his early DJ-ing stage had created breakbeat irregular music, whereby he had overlapped two same records on turn-table decks at slightly different speeds and slightly delayed. This would create asynchronous beat, which would drive the crowd crazy. His track named "Bones Breaks" was a pioneer if not discovererof breakbeat which has remained strictly underground since. In the late 80s, house scene erupted in UK, especially in London. As house scene had progressed, the ecstasy rave culture had emerged from the youth, suppressing the football hooliganism. House from one side and breakbeat from the other side had created a combination, which later led to production of what was called jungle and what is now called drum & bass. It was around 1990, when jungle started emerging from the general dance scene. Kickin' and Shut up & Dance record labels started fusing breakbeat, house, hip-hop, reggae, techno and most importantly dub to produce what they called Jungle. In fact the name originates from one of the experimental clubs in London, called "Jungle" where the first fusion experiments were played. The term "jungle", though, had remained in the underground until 1993. DJ Hype creates breakbeat feeling by mixing house and hip hop at 45 rpm on Phantasy FM. Later co-produces some of the first jungle tracks under the name The Scientist, with the tracks like "Excorcist" and "The Bee". Telepathy - one of the first hardcore jungle clubs kick starts in November. Mickey Finn creates the track Bionic Man, which uses the same idea as the Excorcist. 1992 was the year when the hardcore music was peaking. Jungle was often confused with hardcore, which was quite similar at the time, but was directed more towards 4/4 base beat, rather than looped asynchronous rhythm. Jungle had just made its way to a larger audience, while hardcore was a total novice to the dance scene. Both jungle and hardcore were played at the same raves and sometimes the artists didn't even know whether the track they made was jungle or hardcore. Both of the styles were co-existing under one roof and so there was no separate jungle scene. Johnny Jungle (today known as Pascal) had released a hit called "Johnny" which was a beginning of the new era. Johnny L created "Hurt You So" on XL recordgins, which highlighted the breaks out of the hardcore formula. 4Hero, LTJ Bukem, Grooverider, DJ Hype and other future jungle producers started heading in the new breaks direction. The true jungle was ahead. 1993 was the end of confusion. |

New map uploaded (the map is in the first post ). I added some psy-trance sub-genres (thanks to Vortex) and I re-organised the origin of Detroit Techno (thanks to Ishkur).
Is there anything else that should be changed?
all you whiners, shut your pieholes, k!? stop bitching and help out, or dont post at all. IMO i think he did a great job, perhaps its not 100% accurate, but he can work on that, and all those subgenres that you thought he might have made-up, take more than half a second to think about them, and "maybe, just mabye" you will see what the hell he is talking about. Also, i like the lay-out, but it reminds me to much of a metro-map 
, espicially the water-bus's in venice.

It's no problem at all... the only reason I won't do it right now is because I'm at the university I'll do it when I get home
PS.: Woot, university rules
just some thoughts...
freestyle is left out, should be added somewhere in the vicinity of synthpop --- > eurodance... // in that whole general area that is. Seeing as freestyle has direct disco roots should place it close to disco as well. Eurodance is influenced by freestyle & disco, so it should be linked to freestyle/disco as well... modern eurodance or new euro is influenced by trance & synthpop....

| Originally posted by Vortex_SA now its perfect! but if its not a big trouble u can replace the genre "psy-trance" with "goa" and put psy as a sub of goa, cos i realized that this way its more correct... anyway, GJ!! keep up the good work! |
Just wanted to say your map looks great! And probably as accurate as you can make it without a hundred criss-crossing lines all over the place. It does remind me a lot of the london underground. Nice job!!!
Map updated (4th version) By the way, for those who pm'ed me asking for the full-version of the map: I'm just waiting to finish it, and then I'll send it to you, kay?

Except for new euro because I'm not sure whether if it isn't another genre I might've already posted... what do you consider new euro?| quote: |
| Originally posted by Verona^My what's this I keep hearing about full on trance within the psytrance scene, is that an official sub genre of psytrance or just some silly term people throw around? I've seen compilations... Full On vol.1/2/3/4 etc... |

I'm wondering.. what does designations like "ibiza" or "dub" mean in the map? just curious
It would be great also to have samples of a track from each genre, but that would be hard I guess
Next to EBM, "Death tance"
Should be "Death trance" no?

I recommend his guide: you hear all the samples you're looking for and, unless you're too touchy, you'll have a great laugh
I'm still trying to find the little arrow that says "You Are Here".

But I realised that all you need to know is that the map starts in the grey area Right?

| Originally posted by Maaz What subgenre did I make? All right, maybe there's no such thing as Drum'n'braz, but it's the least I could do for my country's beloved d'n'b movement It does exist... it's the kind of trance that evolved to EBM (as you can see on the map). It's some kind of evil uplifting trance There was a thread about it last month, I guess Who said I took it seriously? Ishkur's idea was very nice, but the problem of his guide is that he spends half of his time bashing most genres, so you don't really learn much out of it. I did some research on history of electronic music and stuff, so the noob will be happy (I hope). And I will add samples too (and differently form Ishkur's guide, I'll add more than one sample per genre). |
Yeah I agree. I went to that site, and "Ishkur" came off to me like bitter old fart, just complaining about everything.

full-on- full on is a defenition for a massive energetic psy-trance, tho it can be attached to other genres (full-on progressive psytrance, full-on melodic...) its preffered to call its in his name... its the complete opposite of minimal, instead of a few sounds playing togather, u have lots of sounds playing togather and creating a feel of power, here is an example of minimal - "mos - dead flat", and an example for full on - "yahel - evolution" enjoy
haha not to rehash a old thread, but didn't you say you were going to update this.
Given the rash of genre threads I think you should update that progressive branch with some structural changes. Let me think about how for a bit.
dj assault has some funny shit, like ass and titties
