journey to trance

I started with Daft Punk, went on to other french house, then discovered more mainstream house, then i heard some old trance classics on a house CD (for some reason they makers of this CD thaught 'for an angel' was house), so i started looking for more of this 'trance music', and here i am wasting my time writing this. Isn't trance great?

How did you get to liking trance? Did you like other EDM first or did you start with trance and moved on?

there are hordes of this kind of threads. do a search please.

I started with old Eurodance.
Vertigo - Magic Eyes springs to mind. I was hooked on this tune back then.
Oh and DJ Quicksilver was great too...
Aaah, retro

Then later I got into trance and techno.
Mauro Picotto, DJ Tiesto, blah blah...

And then I fortunately got into psy.
And I hope I'll forever be into it

For me I used to be really big into wow. And in most gaming videos, they have some cheesey song like every time we touch by cascada or something. I got that song, found remixes by other DJs, liked them and started listening to there songs and that made a web of DJ's i heard about. Still do the same thing to get new DJ's and music.

Big beat -> breaks -> trance -> prog -> prog breaks

Almost a full circle.

my older brother brought home mixed cds from the local djs in new orleans when he would go out clubbing
they were ok

my older brother brought home matt darey euphoria
we liked it

but there was this one song on the 2nd CD called xpander by this guy sasha

we got this guy sasha's GU013 Ibiza CD
we were never the same

You know Blake, likewise here. However my brother had a lot of friends from Turkey, Jordan etc etc. They brought CD compliation to my house, and I fell in love ever since. The tracks were pretty Eurodanceish. I love it. Ever since that, I've saving lunch money to get cds. But as you can all see, where Eurodance progressed to these days.

Heh. Looks like this thread's gained too much momentum already.

Um... I kind of liked some of Jam El Mar's eurodance productions. Got me diggin' a bit more, and -well, I can let the rest speak for itself.

Minus this last one

Listened to some trance as a kid. Liked dance and house on the radio.

Remembered william orbit adagio for strings and noticed it was on gatecrasher classics.
After that got into other trance. Was talking to some guy about trance and he said he only likes the psy stuff and then got into infected mushroom.
Went back to listening to commercial stuff for a while
Then listened to a few mushroom tracks and decided I wanted to hear more like their's and never turned back from psy (btw infected mushroom are highly overrated). I just love the overall structure of psy with everything from the think your going to finish and restarts to the padded kick. I'm now totally elitest about psy and don't like anything that isn't (hell even when I liked trance I liked other stuff). I still seriously don't get why more people haven't heard of psytrance. There are so many people who you can send a mix that like trance and their like "oh yeh this is great"

Sig.

Began with rave & the whole oldskool phenomena.

Bought some commercial releases, euro, rave, jungle, whatever was out there to buy really

Found DJs, roughly 1993. Everyone would buy a mixtape from nights like the edge, helter skelter, raindance, fantazia, dreamscape etc and then everyone would borrow everyone elses tapes. Guys like carl cox, digweed, lenny dee, slipmatt, vibes, dj hype, fabio, grooverider, mickey finn, ratpack, top buzz, tony de vit, trevor rockliffe

Began buying whole tape packs, hardcore, 4beat, oldskool, drum&bass

Discovered gabber, trancecore, hard techno, speedcore via the odd tapes on those 4-6-8-12 packs.

Found trance roughly 1996. Most sets I'd buy would be harder trance though, faster, those that weren't included earlier works from cosmic baby, dance2trance, humate amongst a plethora of swiss stuff and uk stuff too.

Moved mnore from hardcore to trance amongst 1998, fully switching over in 99. finally got some ids for the older trance i'd heard from guys like andy cocup, qattara, salt tank, vincent de moor etc.

since then i've been addicted to trance (pre 2004) and in 2004 i got into loop techno, some funky techno & moved onto psychedelic/progpsy/progtrance of today.

Mashed in amongst it all were house, breaks, bigbeat, and garage, mostly what we could hear on the radio or on those tape packs.

started with eiffel 65 then moved on to daft punk, after getting human after all i also got another cd with it(best of trance i believe 2005) and here i am now

More like, journey from trance, amirite?

Hmm let's see here...

Got into a lot of happy hardcore in the early/mid 90's

Then was introduced to orbital and moby in later 90's..really liked that!

Antiloop kicked my ass in the 90's as well. Really liked their sound and started buying heaps of compliations. Was also enjoying goa

Then had a few years gap, when I didn't pay much attention to edm, although french house did my liking then

Then after going to a gig with Jonathan Lisle, got into Prog and prog breaks, and deep prog with the early chris micali stuff

My taste evolved to prog trance, psy and deeper darker trance

I play Starcraft. A Friend of mine on Starcraft sent me a Paul Van Dyk 4 hour set over MSN that took a LONG ass time to send


guess what: its the set in Music Discussion thread right now


my fav set!!!

Hiphouse -> mellow -> hardcore -> trance -> prog & techno

I bought a ticket

an old mix album from paul oakenfold.
orbital - halcyon + on.
and some old mp3.com shit i downloaded, blue tonic world.
but paul van dyk - nothing but you opened the can of whoopass.

Prodigy (age of 10) -> eurodance & europop -> Keving & Perry Go Large Soundrack -> random cheezy trance -> Oakenfold -> Paul Van Dyk -> Tiesto -> Armin Van Buuren and Ferry Corsten
