Trance is a beautiful thing

I just came back from a party that took place at one of the fraternities at my college. It was a space party, with aluminum foil all over the walls. The set progressed nicely through electro house, into electro, into deep house, and finally into a trance set.

I have been to some parties, USC 5 & 6/ Freaknight in Seattle, Fabric in Madrid, the Love Parade in 2006 in Berlin. But this party was almost as good as anything I had seen. What really set it apart was its trance selection--it was just quality uplifting trance that wasn't commercial and didn't try to kill you with the euphoric peak like a an Alex M.O.R.P.H remix. The reason I've posted this here and not in the party reviews is that the trance really spoke to me and I wanted to reassure some of the neigh-sayers that trance still has it's same captivating emotive dance floor success when done right.

I just listened to Arimin's latest podcast and was really disappointed by it's quality: it closed with some guitar/male vocal nonsense that I felt was really just selling out to the lowest common denominator. It was refreshing to hear trance done right at this party.

For the last hour I just closed my eyes and moved my body to the strange sounds. It was wonderful. There's nothing in the world (that you can do in a vertical position)like soaking up some great trance. I'm hooked again on the genre. Long live trance. Long live Tranceaddict.

OK

Trance saved my life, twice.

Although I'm really kind of surprised to hear of any dance music other than big beat being played at a frat party...

OP: what sort of trance was being played?

Yeah, know any tracks that were played?

One example of the sort of tracks that were being played was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNo_dgFTUxo and some stuff that featured some big high pass filter runs resolving in techy sounds. It was great, it just flowed so well.

i wish frat parties here featured a trance set, or even any kind of EDM all the way through. top40 or bust in these parts

Sounds like Mcprog.

Just look up older Markus Schulz sets from the 2002-2004 era.

Love breakdowns like this.

Kobbe & Austin Leeds - Fusing Love

Great track, like that deep bass which causes that flow. Remebers me of another track with similar sound, just can't remeber the name right now...maybe later...
To me not very uplifting, but tracks like this work much better at a dancefloor than at home. When I used to go out tracks like this were played in the smaller clubs <2000 people.

Brings up old memories, go with the flow:

Secret Cinema - Timeless Altitude

Nice track with a great driving baseline. I think I get at what you're trying to say in terms of the "feel" of the set. Musta have been trippy with all the spacey decorations.

ive deejayed frat parties and played my shit

\o/

i remember i was really suicidal one year because my pet parakeet died, and my friend came over, turned on some andy moor and it changed my life. i am a new man now, i have a wife, 6 kids and no job, but fuck it, i have trance, that is all that has ever mattered. those pounding fist fucking basslines and those throw your hands in the air synth lines and harmonies that only trance can attempt and perfect.

Wow. Sounds like a spectacular moment.

Man, every time I've tried to play my stuff at a frat party all I get is requests for Don't Stop Believing and a drink thrown in my face. Mind you, I'm usually not invited and by frat party I mean Circuit City.

Not actually that bad.

You may want to check out John 00 Flemings monthly podcast Global trance grooves. The first section called the deepmix is a lot like this song. However later in the podcast it usaully gets a lot harder almost psytrance towards the end.

Anyways, hello from Tacoma.
