Define Trance Addict for me??

Hi my name is gil and I am an alcoholic... wrong site..
I have been postin' on here for two months now, I have met some of you and partied only once with a handful of TA's..
but I do have a question to ask...in your own words how would you define a Trance Addict?? what makes them a trance addict... ....
Is it the music? this site? the scene? the drugs??
help me out wont you...
yes linzie I have now graduated to Senior TA!!
I am a postwhore and nobody knows it...
I am on my way up!!!

To me a trance addict is someone who listens and lives the music..
knows and learns the dj's...goes and feels the scene....talks and socializes with the crowd...
and most of all Loves the music with all their heart...
My name is Gil and I am a Trance Addict..

trance (trăns)
n.

1. trance

A form of electronic music that has spiralled out from other forms such as techno and house. Essentially, trance combines a powerful "4-to-the-floor" (or occasionally breakbeat) drumtrack with a strong melodic hookline.

Trance is indisputably one of the most emotional genres that actually exists, because it is all self-interpretation. There are no instrumental or musical limits to trance, and rather than listening to some random guy screaming about his life, associating with a trance progression or hookline is much more deep, and much more personal.

Like other genres, trance has many subgenres, some of which have become very commercialised to the extent where the musical merit of some tracks must be questioned (eg. Flip'n'Fill, Scooter etc.)

At the higher end of the more uplifting, melodic (and relatively popular) styles of trance are DJs such as Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, and Ferry Corsten. These DJs in particular can make beautifully structured mixes their own music, and the music of others, building it into a euphoric collage which spans multiple energy levels, in order to provide the listener with peak/trough feelings, and carry them through numerous emotions and mental states.

The creation and spread of trance music is mainly down to machinery such as the Roland JP-8000 (providing the prominently manipulated supersaw wave), and experimental DJs such as Sasha & John Digweed.
I want to listen to a melodic, energetic form of music that emotionally affects my state of mind. Therefore, I will listen to trance.

you pretty much have it down. but you forgot one thing - good friends that enjoy the experience along with you. i have met so many good people on this board which i think is why i am still a member today. fuck i dont really like trance anymore, but the good folks of tota have me comin back like a crackhead on free crack give away day.

^5 to good people

that is the end of my sappiness. seratonin levels are a little low.


and can someone notify me when the free crack give away is.

I gotta agree with the good people aspect of this board. I have never been disappointed at a TA event. Everyone is always genuinely happy to see each other.

And by addictive I would also have to agree. My other itunes playlists have become ceremoniously neglected since I started listening to trance music. It's a much more personal experience and the tracks don't get old or worn out like other genres of music. Keeping the trance playlist on shuffle brings out a new experience everytime. I'm also more inclined to search out different tracks after hearing them at an event and also more WILLING to take the time to do this unlike other genres of music. I think that would have to be a Trance Addict..when the music is more than the sound it makes but also an experience that can trigger memories of awesome times with amazing people

Short, Simple, Effective.

Thats an easy question for me to answer...

I bought 2 double cheeseburgers (for 3$) and a super fry w/ 6 packs of salt and 2 S&S sauces

and had a beer w/ it

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I agree...having friends who love the music is really important....all my friends love hip hop, understandably since we are from NY, but it is really hard for me to have friends who bash my music, and do "fake glow-sticks" everytime they hear it...They don't understand how important it is to me....one of the reasons why I joined the TA forum

So I can definately say I am an addict just because of the hurt I feel from no one else understanding trance....... as well as the way I feel when I am around my toronto/montreal friends and a wicked ass DJ is playing at a great venue and he just dropped a sick tune now THAT is a great feeling, almost religious!!

someone who has ta as their homepage

....hi my name is pett..........

Trance is great for listening while working.

Stumbled onto TA and stayed because Canadians are a great, funny, usually drunk, whimsical bunch. Toronto, in the early 90s, was the first place I ever heard this new sound of "trance".

Love at first listen.

A traceaddict is a person that is addicted to EDM (most importantly Trance) and when asked who's up on deck, will know the answer to that question.
Not only can they tell you which dj is spinning but he/she will give you a breakdown of the dj's music style (and if experienced enuf...will list off each track being dropped) and will list in order all the dj's up next.

Though the ability to dance and have a good time with friends is optional...it most definately is a big part of what most TAs are all about.

LOL a tranceaddict is so devoted to his/her music that if a sick tune is dropped they most definately have a religious experience, and if heaven was one big party....then we all have line bypass.

And that's how I define a TA



YankeeBaby...I grew up in Queens Astoria, and sometimes miss NYC but I can empathize with you about the ppl not understanding. It never used to be that way...the world certainly has changed. Rest assured that in Toronto...we understand...and we're here for ya babes

I would have to agree with you on friends not understading what trance is all about, some of my good friends like house and hip hop alot. I am not going to put their taste in music down because at one point in life I was an addict to both types of music, I got over it and moved on. I got one of them to listen to trance, he gave it a try and actually liked it,went out and bought Armins ASOT 2004 which put a smile on my face and then he went on to look up info on upcoming parties for the summer. I am glad I have friends that I can experience these good times with. PartEgurl is the other, she is way beyond me she knows her stuff more than anybody I know. thanks babe your awesome!! Well thank you guys for your answers I am sorry I didnt make sense but I am glad you all posted!!

You summed it up fantastic and I can relate totally. I managed to convert one of my friends up here to trance (MissK) which i love, but all the rest really dont understand and I hate that.

tranceaddicts are individuals who understand the love ppl have for edm music and they are very open and welcoming. i have made so many tranceaddict friends in such a short time its baffling... and many of those i would consider some of my very best friends now!

Well I know I'm a TA but officialy I'm not a "trance" addict as you can all tell by my screen name. House is my life, I live it, breath it, die for it. I listen to house everyday when I'm on my way to work and nothings better then grooving to sick ass tunes at 7am on my way to work, it actually motivates me to be at work cuz im all pumped up.

But yeah definitely being a part of TA has been a good thing, I've had the chance to meet some new people which I'm always up for but there's still other's I'd want to meet but I've been in the club scene for awhile now and I don't go to Guv/Systems as much as I use to. (Try every Friday, Saturday and Sunday(CZ) for 8 months). That's alot of parties I've been to and a lot of *cough, cough* I've injested so I've gotta pick and choose my events nowadays.

Shit, getting alittle of topic but most definitely a tranceaddict or houseaddict in my case is someone who simply enjoys all the benefits our genre of music has to offer (simply look at my sig and you'll know why). I recently heard that saying and thought man that is sooo true about EDM

Well enough babbling for me, back to work

I am addicted to this site as much as I'm addicted to trance (maybe not as much but it's up there!!!)...I guess that makes me a "tranceaddictaddict" LOL!!!
