saying only yes and no isn't really constructive in a thread like this.

It's true that in the past a lot of people claimed the first remix but again that was more copy pasting work and can be more seen as re-edits. KS took it to another level.

Originally posted by PETRAN BT still sucks though!!!!!Ok, maybe he is not so bad, but in general terms he is...and he is definitely not a f*cking pioneer by any means...cheesy cheap cu-base production with a bunch of vocalists thrown in just to bring the money.The only good album i can think of is "Ima" and that was mediocre compared to other 90s EDM/IDM/Proggy/Electronica giants like Bola,Aphex Twin and Global Communications.

You should be laughed out of the building for showing that you don't have the first clue on what defines good production. If you ever read an interview with BT where he breaks down what he does when producing a track, you'd realise that he puts more effort into getting unique sounds than almost anyone else. Even when he uses software, he custom programs plug-ins and extensions to get his own sounds. And just fucking listen to his stuff. If you call that cheap or cheesy production you're either aiming to be deliberately controversial or are deaf.

All that said, he was also instrumental in pioneering the epic house sound with Sasha in the mid-90s, which would reflect on the development of progressive trance.

Those who said he invented trance or the breakdown are fucking idiots though. He's also far from the most influential artist in EDM- he's a long way from being the most influential artist in trance or house. But that's been typical of a lot of names mentioned in this thread.

I will give him credit for quality of his produtions.
But his music is pop music and it has its limitations.
For the style he is making I think Junkie XL for example is even better than him.
Both in terms of musicianship and in terms of quality of production.

Originally posted by globalelectro I will just not go down to your level. I like some of the ones you like, but i dont like many like Orbital, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre and Kraftwerk.

you must have a very odd taste to not like Orbital yet still somehow end up at a trance website

I would also add Yellow Magik Orchestra.

very good mention.. they pioneered the tr 808 with 1000 knives in 1981


probably the start of electro or the freestyle phenomenon

that sounds a bit early.. but razormaid remix service has been around way before 1988

this is 1984

I agree. I definitely wouldn't call it late, or even current.

So you mean to tell me that you want me to tell you who the main pioneer of remixing is? I think i'd rather let you figure it out yourself.

yeah if your giong to make an argument present the facts. 1981 seems very early for a remix

Everyones entitled to there own opinion of who they believe the most influential artists are, but remember the most influential aren't neccesarily the best.
as much as it pains me to say tiesto is probably one of the most influential the amount of people i see listening to his cheese and then starting to appreciate more and more electronic music is phenomenal.

I also think Derrick May is a huge name that can't be forgotten, he pretty much invented minimal and look at how big its gotten.

BT is another huge one for me, breaking into different genres and whatever, he explored and for me changed EDM forever.

Underworld and Chemical Bros were huge revelations for me. It was there stuff that got me hooked onto EDM for the past 7 years.

But every view is gonna be biased based on what is your favaourite sub genre of EDM. For instance a breaks fan might find that Adam Freeland is a huge influence ... whilst someone more into hardcore would say eddie halliwell.

But then again what about Djs who were always pushing boundaries like Aphex Twin ?
I haven't seen a mention of him, maybe thats cause i skipped half the thread cause its too long but yeah ... what bout ferry corsten, altho many peopole dont appreciate his new stuff cause its a 'betrayal' on trance i've heard but i reckon theres nothing better for getting a new generation of hot bitch partyers. I mean its cheesy but wow when it gets played it gets people going.

The fact is, the first remix that I know of is from 1981. It's even called a "Special Re-Mix" on the vinyl.

Aren't we all forgetting King Tubby who would remix reggae bands into the genre of 'Dub' for the Jamaican Dub DJs of the 1960s to play?
