Originally posted by wax10001 actually, its not. im 22 years old, and was listening to trance from 2002 on until mid 2006. but it constantly got worse. i didnt like any vocals and i liked groovy tracks from the beginning on. and there were tracks back then that were groovy and instrumental. but it all got worse, first trance got more and more vocals and after that it adopted the electro cheap housy fart basslines. i never really liked asot & stuff. so i dont think its a matter of being elitist or so, when we are writing about house and techno and experimental music. its a matter of personal taste and personal engagement. its a shame that the music business (which has adopted trance for some years already) is misleading you to believe that trance is the most advanced and evolved edm. just open your eyes. if you then still like trance its pretty much okay. but theres always other music, kay

I like all types of music, I could give a shit about what the genres are. And to say that suddenly all trance is trash is ridiculous. Especially up until 2006. People were saying the same thing in 2006, going back to 2000. And you know what, in 5 years people are gonna be saying how bad trance sucks and how awesome it was in 2008.

because they were growing up with fart bass beatport sound. which has no relation to actual vinyl club music at all. and yes, there is a difference. if you like trance, just compare tpod1 and tpod2. tpod1 was much warmer, even if there are some gay vocals in it (you are so digital ). tpod2 is just a collection of random pseudo well fitting tracks. thats because tpod1 has a relation to that older style of dance music, where trance wasnt just an internet phenomenon.. nowadays it is. and with that goes ableton, beatport, and this poll. so yeah. fuck this

Originally posted by DuBam Hold on Mister, I didn't suggest a goddamn thing. I just pointed out the reason why it is what it is. And because SYSTEM-J wondered, and I've been wondering the same thing. I'd say that post of yours was pretty offensive, given the fact that it was totally uncalled for. MD whore? Gimme a break. Question, have you ever seen me bash trance as a whole? Thought so.

Ah my bad. I thought you were suggesting that it be limited to basically MD regulars.

That's a good way to look at it with regards to the labeling thing. I hate labels - good music is good music. But labels do exist so in light of that the music that is labeled as 'trance' today doesn't really hold a candle to the music that was labeled as 'trance' in the past. I think that is true of all music, even beyond EDM.

Hip hop for example is an obvious case. It, like trance came about as the coming together of other forms of music and remained innovative in its early days. It had an accepted golden era where mindblowing shit was released left and right and always seemed to one up what came before it. Then, it stagnated and rappers and producers all adopted a cookie cutter mentality. Little originality and innovation. This led to where we are now in hip-hop, with half hearted attempts at records and releases that would have been laughed at 10 years ago. The same is true of a lot of EDM, but trance is the worst offender. People will say that it merely has evolved, but it hasn't. It's stagnated like hip-hop, and will probably need to return to its roots to reinvent itself.

I'm speaking generally of course, there are still a ton of great tracks being released, it's just that the Armin Van Buurens and Above and Beyonds aren't really playing them anymore.

Congratulations... you understand what a poll is.

And congratulations... you understand the controversy that is facing every DJ poll that ever existed.

Also... congratulations.

Originally posted by RJT Wow. People still listen to and enjoy Steve Porter? Did he stop playing bad music poorly and get his shit together and I somehow just didn't hear about it?

Porterhouse on Sirius 38 is ownage.

lol armin.

I think the reason that the top 5 basically stays the same is that lots of people have 3 or 4 DJs and can't immediately think of another one they really enjoy when they are voting, so they just put in a big name to round it out.

At least that's what I'm telling myself

I voted Deadmau5 #1 strictly for the irony lols, as I hardly take this poll seriously. Seeing him Top 10 is pure hilarity. Next year we should see to it that he gets no votes, and has one of the biggest fall-offs in TA DJ Poll history!

Edit: Also, perhaps to save all this bickering and maybe create some genuine suspense next year, why not have an entry named Tiestin van Schulzenyond and automatically give it the #1 position?

Yeiiii #183
