Originally posted by dellboy My two cents...... Dance music on disk started with disco which begat funk which begat house....all black dominated because of the FUNK in the beat. The off-beat. The one. See James Brown. As electronics made sampling and looping easier so the nerdy white guys (Krafwerk) took the sound to new levels, good and bad. I believe the most interesting sounds today are made by those who still feel the funk. Desyn and Sander for two. The Vangelis/Yanni/Oldfields make soppy muzak for strictly white people. Long live the funk.

baboon, you know that house came directly from disco, right? Not funk. perhaps, jazz even since alot of deep house and alot of house songs now days are very deep and jazzy. that argument was pointless.

you're argument, calling it white and black music is just as lame.

once again, you do not answer the question THAT HAS BEEN ANSWERED OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Originally posted by Numidia Would that classically trained musician be able to properly synthesize his own sounds on a synth, or properly use MIDI, or be able to make all the levels on the track be just right? Probably not. Half of producing trance is technical as well as musical ability. I'm sorry, but when people belittle the amount of work and skill it takes to make a great trance tune, it pisses me off.

+1

And, while I like trance because of it's synthesized supremacy in my eardrums, I also love classical for its ingenuity and complexity.

As for race, Race doesn't even biologically exist. It is only used to socially differentiate person a from person b. So everyone is fucking ignorant and should learn that the musical tastes of people have zip to do with their "race".

Hello. I'm Hispanic and I enjoy the trance music. Goodbye.

yeah everyone is so interested and smart. that's why there was an answer within the first few pages yet people keep ranting. everyone is uber interested.

this reminds me of Dave Clarke's famous interview a while back talking about how techno has become too white...lol

Don't be racist.

Originally posted by tribu It depends where you are in the world too. Caucasians are the "racial" majority in the U.S. so to see them dominate the scene in the States is to be expected. Go to an EDM event in Japan though, and tell me the scene is dominated by white people.

Still as far as DJ's and producers go, trance is dominated by whites.

ROFL. There's one around campus.

He has fabulous girl hair.

Not to sound naive or stereotypical, I guess this phenomenon can be associated to the fact that black people have an inborn sense of rythm and percussion. This can be attributed to the fact that arguably the pioneers of house are incidentally, black. Tribal house that is today borrows a lot of african-influenced percussion and rhythm as well.
Geographical factors can also influence music in many ways.
There's an increasing number of South American techno / tech producers (Santiago Nino / Wehbba etc. ). South Americans have a sense of rhythm and percussion also.
Trance on the other hand, requires a seperate state of mind / mental outlook that is strangely, found more in non-black people.

Europe is lonely and cold in the winters. This is a definite factor in inspiring

Europe is lonely and cold in the winters. This is a definite factor in inspiring European producers probably triggering a euphoric state in their minds.
