Do you prefer SLOW or FAST trance?

Posted by tiesto14 on Jan-03-2002 04:16:

depends... i prefer the slower 2stuff usually tho

what do you consider slow and what fast? i dont really care about the speed of a track..we have pitch control for that as long as it is not TO slow or TO fast (120bpm sux and so does 200 hehehe)
peace

I prefer when the beat is around 140 bpm. Only a few tunes are good when it�s slow like 120 bpm and only a sertain type of trance is good when it�s fast like 160 bpm or higher. imo

c-ya...

I voted for fast.

I prefer from 145 - 150 bpm. Is it slow or fast?

It depends on the point of view. It's RELATIVITY another time.

fast trance, the kind of stuff that gets me moving and dancing!!!

OK, let me clarify, since some of you have asked questions:

* SLOW is something like 120-135 bpm, the progressive/housey style, lounge, or anything relaxed
* FAST is something like 136-145 bpm, stuff like Tunnel Trance Force, Jules @ Qontact, etc.

And no, I was NOT talking about something ultra-fast like 160 bpm (hardcore). We're not considering that here.

Well, with that definition I definitely prefer the fast tunes

Well I went for slow but that was before I saw your definition, Eugene - I only really get into stuff like tunnel trance force when I'm at the gym but I couldn't dance to it all night, it would make my head hurt

However I couldn't dance to slow prog either ... round about Ferry Corsten speed, that's what I reckon is ideal ... what's that, medium trance?

slow into fast...but not too slow not too fast is just right.

definitely fast, 140-150bpm is just perfect. can't stand anything below 133bpm, i'll either speed it up or not play it at all -- unless i'm doing a progressive set, which isn't often.

I Like my trance as a rule at about 148bpm, but Hardocore isn't 160bpm, I play sometimes trance @ 165bpm & it rules, Hardcore is about 180bpm, so I voted fast, though I do like slower stuff when its hybrid etc

this poll is pointless !

if you like slow you like prog house and if you like fast u like hard trance/house

or you like the dj to play with the pitch on +8 all the time
