Why didnt any of this generations big trance DJ's progress?

Last time round digweed sasha seaman etc etc etc - took trance as far as they could - then they progressed to new sounds - thus educating and showing their fanbase new stuff - enhancing dance music and this to me is the reason for their longevity...

Even the j00fs and chris lawrence's took it in a whole new direction with the psy..to great success..

The Armins and Tiestos of this world seem to be flogging something they got over a long time ago (this may just be a guess - but it kinda comes accross in their current sound) and have become stale and limp...

why havent they tried something new?

They don't have the skills and/or they don't dare to risk doing anything else (house maybe?) than what made them famous to begin with (trance).

They'd rather make money than innovate.

someone has to do it

Because it sells.

Armin plays what people wants to hear.

He even has a guy browsing the forums when ASOT is airing to check which tracks get talked about so he can play them again.

Tiesto i have an impression of is doing more of what he wants and likes.

They've progressed into the mainstream. Musical progression seldom follows that direction.

i don't know what you're talking about - what they play has definitely changed in some regard.

I think all the so called trance djs are moving / have moved in different directions since when they became popular.. to be honest they all sounded fairly similar imo back in 2000. At a quick look I would say..

Ferry - Done that electro LEF with his style.
Armin - Seems to of gone down a fairly vocal route.
PVD - Uses Ableton in interesting ways
Marco V - Moved away from his traditonal sound of his earlier years.
Tiesto - I think by and far he has progressed the most, especially in the last year or so. Incorporating a lot more different genres into his sets.

Above is my opinion, and I am not saying its good or bad, I just think they have progressed in some way.

Here it is.. notably #5 and #6 on the interview.

maybe some dj need to go back to their original sound....

I think the Trance scene is becoming more and more commercial rather than experimental as it was in those days..

We are in the mainstream era, following the masses..

We follow DJs that follow us ! -----> no progression?

Time shall tell..


The fact remain that we miss those Epic Livesets back to those Sasha/Digweed, Oakie, PvD days..







Currently listening to Koris vs DJule- Swiss Connection 037

That to me sounds like still claiming that "There is No Substitute For Cubic Inches" while modern tiny turbocharged V4 engines beat the hell out V8's in more than one way except sound.

But what would be their original sound?

that's actually pretty fucked up and kinda made me lose respect for him.

i think theyve changed - to the worse!
no its not me getting old

i cant blame them thought its really not easy to find good music anymo

quote:

Armin van Buuren The boards like trance.nu, tranceaddict, uktrancealliance, are great for music; they spread the word about the radio shows, the gigs, and releases.

We are being watched!

ughhh I know. But as someone already stated, it's not what made him famous. Infact, I wouldn't even classify Armin's house-past as common knowledge. Maybe around here it is, but not for the younger generation ASOT-kids.

This track is by far better than crap like Adagio for Strings or Love comes again

I thought Marco V's traditional sound was hard techno?

Trance I think itself is very limited in terms of sounds you can produce. Not much you can experiment when you have to have some sort of synthy sound to qualify as trance. Well, at least 'modern' trance anyways

for true epic Marco V refer to:
Marco V - Recovered
Marco V - Tolerance
Marco V - Revolt
Marco V - Godd


also, blaming DJs for being too popular and playing popular misc is silly. its their job for fucks sake! just like politicians. creativity and money do not go together very well. should have been understood centuries ago
