"I'm going to do a full concert tour next year around the entire north american continent. Everywhere you talk from new york to LA to las vegas, the scene is ready to explode and i am going to try and push it as far as i can. We just had 15 000+ people in the LA for my concert at the sports arena which has never been done before."

Wow.

Should I use a different word so you can understand better?

"Generation"

Once Tiesto, Digweed, Armin, Ferry, Cox, Deep Dish, and PVD are retired, there will not be a replacement set of DJs that will be AS big as them.

THAT'S what I meant.

I think you're wrong-

As long as there is any art in it, there will be stars.

Trance is no longer a party scene music....its evolved into a concert with a whole mess of other crap going on in order for people to enjoy it....trance is all about showmanship now and not the music itself. I like trance but as chillin music not party music.

oh and as for the DJs I'd like to see in Montreal

Tiesto and Armin....that way they won't be in toronto


Posted by DJ Charlie on Sep-12-2007 14:25:

ok everybody !!! I'm about to give out some names

here they are :

DAVID WEST

DJ REMY (from Remy & Roland Klinkenberg) or both,
Ronski Speed,
Niklas Harding,
Matt Darey,
Kyau & Albert

these are all DJs/producers who haven't been to Montreal yet and some of them do not only play Trance in their sets... so it could please more people than just Krinker

Ya I agree there will be stars, but do you think the Zabielas/Fanciullis/SVDs/etc will become as huge as the Tiesto/armin guys?

I dunno, I cant see it happening.

We've been there, and we've done that.

Most of us, actually most people who like Edm music starts with trance, it's easily accecible, easy to listen to, filled with emotions and cheesy. Most people start with it then discover other style and so on and so on, we've had that discussion many many many many many times over my years as a Ta i'm not going to try and educated another retard.

The thing is trance is and WILL always be the same thing by it's own definition and it's own rules. Not only that but it tries not to get itself be influenced by other genres of music and if, by any luck, a producer tries to do something influenced by another genre, you, the fans, shoot him down and then that producers stops having any sort of popularity. Happened to Ferry Corsten when he tried to get influenced by some sort of electro a couple of years back. Happened to Oakenfold when he released his first Dj album ( yes i agree break trance was a horrible idea and the album was poorly produced, But still ) i could go on (sasha, digweed, seb fontaine, Bt) all dj's that, once they tried to get something new into trance music got shot down by the suposed "trance lovers".

Trance is the same thing it was last year, 5 years ago, 10 years ago, or at the start of it's creation. It has not moved because it cannot move because the "fans" don't want it to move to another direction. More than that, the "tranceaddict" that say they are opened to other genre of electronic music are the first one to say that they don't want so and so genre to influence trance 'cause it has to stay "pure".

By the way, for those who think i hate trance, i don't, i just think it hasn't evolved and, because of that, i'd rather listen to what created trance in the beginning 'cause at least THAT was original.

And btw, as I've said more than once on this board, give yourself 2-3 years you'll either
a) stop listening to Edm alltogether and get bored of it like most people
b) Start listening to other genre and understand how silly u were before thinking that there is ONLY trance music.
C) Continue to listen to trance but try and discover other stuff anyways ( much like what alec used to be around 2-3 years ago :P )

p.s. Alec thanks for the good word I know i haven't been around much and that u missed me, but you're still a fag ( not as much as Marcus tho :P)





First of all, watch your mouth, no need for name calling in order to gain the upper hand in an argument, follow the advice on your signature

Second of all, you totally went off topic on my quote, I never said that trance is the only music genre there is, I said it is better to embrace all genres in order to gain a better understanding of EDM.

Also, Trance IS NOT JUST FORMED OF TIESTO ARMIN OR FERRY, stop spewing the handful of mainstream names you know off the bat and calling that the Trance Genre.
Although I do believe that those mainstream names did help skyrocket the genre's popularity among the non-EDM lovers as well.

Anyways KrinKer, you can go back to playing world of warcraft and eating your cheese puffs, because arguing with you is like trying to nail jello to a wall.

Yes i Know that u were talking about embracing all genre but my point was that it's a little ironic that someone who loves a genre that is completly self centered and do not want to be influenced by anything comes and says that.

Other than that, What is trance to you, educate me, this might be fun

I just dont get this, like Kinker said, many people started listening to trance, even our beloved artists like Sasha & Digweed were progressive trance in the old days

so if someone likes trance first, let them be, in 2-3 years they'll like the Steve Lawlers, etc.. and embrace people who can actually mix, but give them a chance....

I understand when people bash tiesto cause he really cant mix, or isnt great at it, but these mainstreamers bring people who listen to 50 cent and Britney Spears, into the EDM scene (most of us on this board were listen to EDM all our lives, when i was 11: Dance Maching 3rd Gear hahahh - flying to the moon! )

Anyways almost everybody loves tiesto and/or trance at the beginning like i did, and many of you did (don't be hard asses and admit it) but if these guys didnt open up the door the scene esp the tech-house scene and trippy shit that sick would be small...

Imagine bringing a friend who doesnt even know one EDM song, and bringing him/her to see Fake, or Holden, or some artist like that, they would think we are all on crack....

Music tastes grow.....

U LIKE TRANCE !!

OMG !!!

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BITCH ABOUT ANYTHING ANYMORE !!


I am not sure whether this is pure ignorance or an attempt at teh funney, so I will explain it to you (and also I will be nice because you make me laugh when you lol @ trancecrackers.)

You obviously dont know trance very well (which is not something you will regret when death comes)

But "early 90's german trance" and "dutch-supersaw-buildup-30minbreakdown-hands in the air-jesus pose-2 days long drum roll" are two very different things

The first is what the nu-trance movement (which is almost over already) is trying to renew

The second is crap, and most trance djs have played those tracks for the past 10 years. I mean, come on, For Angel (2005,2006,2007 mix) wtf ?? Trance obtained pretty much its peak with System F - Exhale.

Whatever, keep throlling, you're funny

Completely false. But such statement, you prove that you dont know much about EDM

EDM is happy hardcore, IDM, Rap (the first EDM), electro (the real electro, such as Afrikaa Bambaata and Kraftwerk and Anthony Rother), it is house, it is UK garage, it is trance, it is speedcore

You're going to tell me you like all this ?

Ya, I thought so too

edit: and please, dont give me the "I ownz an internet radio i knows about ze edms i owns lolzzz". Everyone and their grandmother have an internet radio now. The statement you have made shows that you dont know much about edm, so i you want to prove me wrong, please dont rely on the argument i just destroyed.

I've always said Trance is like EDM for Dummies

I'm happy with Trance being the way it is, some people like a sense of continuity. "Don't fix it if it ain't broken".. if I wanna listen to something else that is ifluenced by other things I'll go listen to House or minimal or wtv..

And just for the record, it was never Trance that got me into the scene. If fact, the very first EDM artist I discovered was John Digweed <3333, then Danny Howells, then Sasha etc...I listened to Prog House for a loooong time before even allowing myself to dicover other EDM styles. Then I gave Techno and Trance a chance, and it was love...

I do believe I will always enjoy Trance/House/Techno about the same amount. And I'm happy with that.

I don't have to tell you why I love Trance, I just do. K?
And I'm sure you know enough about it so no need to "educate" you, for I am in no way, shape or form trying to convince you that it's good or get you to like it. I just don't care.

I like Ketchup on my eggs, ever since I was little..WTF right?..well I can't explain to you why I like it, I just do. And you don't have to.

It's just a matter of time... did you see the crowd at Holden? That's exactly what I mean... he's crossing over into non edm geek worlds into worlds where people just know some names of artists and have completely different interests....



also


maybe its because the zabiela/fanciulli/svd arent that good... or dont make the crossover into the mainstream like others have and will.

I'm in a "lol" kinda mood. Chem, this is as quotable as your "edm for dummies" one.

I wonder how all these TOTAs came on board here, hmmm . Amidst all the flaming, this once happy go lucky thread has taken a worthy educational bent to it as well, believe it or not...

Here is a nifty little flash site that depicts the history of EDM genres all the way back to the 70s.

Use it wisely :P
