'Uplifting' Proghouse?

I guess this would be some stuff that DJs like Luke Fair, Desyn Masiello, Deadmau5, Perry Oneil, 16bit Lolitas, Jaytech produces and plays.

Very trancey with happy vibe. In some cases, it's pretty much trance at 130bpm.

I don't think this will become extremely popular, but seems to attract both prog house and trancers. I know I'm attracted to to this stuff because well, it's got more trance elements than a lot of trance tunes these days. And it's bouncy, happy and fun.

What do you guys think of it?

genres are merely words people make up when they're on drugs to describe a particular sound

Haha, but seriously, I enjoy this sound. Luke Fair is fabulous!

People like you are the reason why the word 'progressive' is about vague as its gets in terms of describing a genre

I don't think this will become popular at all. I even think it is less popular than it has been over the last couple of years. DJ's have been transitioning back to the grittier sound. Sasha, Digweed, Hernan....all of these guys were playing a more "happy sound" a few years ago but have moved away from that. Even Desyn has become a lot grittier than previous years. I think we are years away from this trend happening, if it even does.

I agree that this sound will never be quite popular and will be more of a niche genre for those house lovers who likes/used to like trance

Is more prog trance than prog house.

Though with current fusion of trance and house makes it hard to tell apart what is trance and what is house

I basically live in this genre. My playing style in a nutshell..

To those of you who dont think it will catch on - you should have been at Electronica Ice @ The Underground last friday. The crowd loved it.

Hah, classic TA genre whoring! Way to go, Yohan. Somebody get LKD in here!

Posted by DaRoZa on Nov-16-2007 20:27:

well, if trance isn't going to get better, there has to be some kind of proper uplifting music coming out to listen to from time to time... it is interesting how it's getting popular even with people who hate trance or hate house though

I got a Kayu vs Albert Newsletter in my email today. And they are calling their stuff "neo trance"

How Do You Define Neo Trance?
Seems to be the question you've most regularly been putting to Ralph & Steven over the last few months. Your not alone either! DJ Magazine recently interviewed them and asked them how they'd characterize it to the uninitiated? �We think the general idea is that its trance with influences of Tech House; merging the high-end minimal grooves with the emotional aspects of Trance. We personally try to keep a few uplifting moments in the arrangement too; in a nutshell: making-minimal-interesting-and-finally-musical!� was Ralph's precise explanation. So K & A fans, you can now dazzle your friends with your advanced neo trance knowledge! Click here to read the full interview...

lol

I used to like this stuff a couple of years ago, but not so much anymore. I find it a bit too fluffy, and kind of hard to concentrate on. Does anyone else know what I mean by this? For example, when I'm at home listening to one of these sets while surfing the net, I find it very easy to tune out of it and cease paying attention to it.

Posted by rabbitjoker on Nov-16-2007 20:51:

LOL!

This thread is so 2004.

AFAIK neo trance is stuff that is similar to early 90s trance. Very stripped down and sometimes sounds very raw and harsh with hint of 'trancey' sound.

Few producers have been experimenting with it. Good thread in MD about neo trance

if i want something uplifting, i'll get a forklift.

that does sound lame - im not sure neo trance has anything to do with what were talking about here

Have you listened to Joonas Hahmo or Roam L?
