| Originally posted by jonny_mac_99 I disagree that trance is dying. I think its just moving in different directions and therefore becoming almost a niche market rather than the general market it once was. Trance, as it was around 2000-2002 still exists it just isn't as dominant as it once was. Artists like PUSH Above & Beyond and Armin Van Buuren still produce tracks as trancy and deep as those that were produced "back in the day". However, the trance genre can now be split into more categories and includes melodic and euphoric trance, and (the more popular within the UK) hard trance. This category is related to the hard house genre and is more prominant, particularly in the UK, with DJ's such as Adam sheridan and Eddie Halliwell coming to the forefront. It is also notable that PVD is playing a harder set now as evident from creamfields and Nature One etc. Even recognised Trance DJ's such as Armin van Buuren displayed elements of Hard trance within there sets as shown by his set at Global Gathering with trackls like Katana's In Silence and Klinkenbergs Til ya drop being played beside tracks like White Room and Commmunication. I also feel that perhaps the scene in America suffers from the lack of interest in dance music as I know it in the UK. ON a recent trip to NY i managed to see PVD playing on the rock the vote tour and also in the club SPirit for the after party and I felt the set he played could have been categorized as hard trance - which i enjoyed. However, this weekend ill be attending my monthly night at Inside Out, Glasgow where Eddie Halliwell and DJ Scot Project will be playing in the mian room (categorized as hard trance) and Matt Hardwick and Above & Beyond will also be playing in the same club. This means that both categories of trance will be availableto the clubber and everyone will be happy. Something that wasn't available in NY. To sum up (and this post has gone on longer than i thought it would) I dont think Trance is dying, its actually getting bigger, its just being split into more categories. |
All genres of music change over time. The great thing about it is that you can pick and choose what you like and what you don't like. Just because a track is a few years old doesn't mean you cant enjoy it now.
I don't think the music is the problem. I think it is the people that believe they have to listen to new tracks every week to keep up with this self-perceived notion of superiority because they listen to a type of music that most of the masses don't bother listening to. If this "increased intelligence" over the general public makes you listen to trance then you are listening to it because you think it makes you special in some way. It is your own fault that you are listening to music that you do not like just to keep up with this facade.
In short: If you don't like it, don't listen and listen to stuff you do like even if it is old. EDM suffers from a newer is supposed to be better mentality but that is how DJs make a living, by playing new tunes. Personally I enjoy sets with new songs, old songs, and recently old songs mixed together to create a nice piece of art.

The problem with trance these days is exactly whats been said. It is just a bunch of shit thrown together that anyone could do if they mastered the music programs like fruity loops, reason, logic, cubase, and so on. Just like hip hop music today is just a bunch of easy beats thrown out...talking about the same shit; trance is just a bunch synths thrown together in any fashion as long as its a catchy pattern; in other words, no creativity needed. That's what's making all these new trance songs all sound the same.
trance isnt dead, it will return with the new generation of producers go back to making it, 'stead of the current proggressive sound.
If trance is really dead, then swamper should just close down TA then
If there is no money to make, I doubt any professional will produce
trance. You may say that's fine, but I really do not see trance can
survive underground.

| Originally posted by trancinchink please... i'd like to see you easily "master" these music programs and throw some shit together. and after you record that shit, send it over to me and i'll tell you what i think of it. better yet take a couple years and then send me a clip.. i'll still probably be shaking my head. |
imo trance (i mean the old melodic) hasn't died and still maintains a respectable amount of fans the problem is the edm scene including trance has evolved and widened its fanbase so nowadays alot of people like going to parties and sets but aren't into trance....hence prog. and hard trance appeared as they seem to please more people on the dancefloor..
