Need some help with vocal trance.

Iv been very much into vocal trance since around 2002 and lately Iv run into a big problem; I cant seem to find any tracks wich I havent heard before...

70% of my music comes from www.di.fm and I think I have theire entire playlist from 2004+ on my computers, and now Im stuck with the few new productions comming out now and then.

I really need to know if anyone have encountered the same problem as me and if/how they resolved it. I would also love to hear wich vocal trance songs is on the top of your list, in case I havent discoverd it yet.

For me, this song is as close to perfection as you can get:

And before bashing me about how cheesy this scene is, fuck you, its the style I ended up with after 17 years of EDM.

Tiff Lacey is one of my top 3 vocalists, while Marcie is one of the better lyric writers out there (Behind the Lyrics anyone?!) Think Iv heard about everything they have done.

What's up fellow Norwegian!

Here are a few vocal tracks I've really liked so far from this year.

Aly & Fila ft. Katherine Crowe - It Will Be Okay (Arctic Moon Remix).

Akira Kayosa & Hugh Tolland ft. Stine Grove - Drifter (Original Mix).

Amir Afargan ft. Nicole McKenna - Shape The Invisible (A Force Remix).

Cosmic Gate & Emma Hewitt - Calm Down. (not released yet afaik)

Paul Oakenfold - Full Moon Party (Original Mix). No lyrics in this one, and not as much focus on the vocal as the other ones, but great use of the tiny bits of vocal it has got in it.

Could this perhaps be the kinda stuff you're after?

Thanks Adriz! Some great tracks you got there, I especially like Akira Kayosa & Hugh Tolland ft. Stine Grove - Drifter (Original Mix). Never heard it before.

It can never go wrong with Oakenfold. Whenever I see or hear his name it takes me back to the days of Southern Sun=)

Im trying to find music that doesnt have the typical monotone bass rythms and for me its more about the harmony between the tones of the vocal and the melody, and not as much the actual lyrics. Kinda hard to explain..

There are no good vocal trance just a vocal cheesefest

Thanks for the suggestions Trancefxs and Gangsta-Nun! There were a few ones I never heard before there, like Odins Kraft (thats a wierd one!). I really enjoyed tyDi feat. Protoculture & Meighan Nealon - Criminal and Kintar feat. Lu Chase - Guiding Light (Airwave Rmx). And of course the classics you posted Gangsta =)

Been going through my computers looking for lost pearls, and I found this epic tune:

My favorite dj is a guy called Dj Doboy so if your into this kind of music you would be smart to look him up.

Keep it up! I really need some music while studying. Fucking boring...

Easy solution, start digging pre-2002 for stuff you haven't heard.

Easier said than done. I think its pretty hard to find vocal trance pre 2000. Got any suggestions as to where to look?

I also like vocal trance after listing over 20 years EDM.

My friend Lisaya made some vocal trance tracks as Lisaya and Soulcry (=Lisaya (Holland) + Thomas Petersen (Sweden)), and meanwhile did do many remixes, maybe you like some:

My two favorite vocal ones of his:

DJ Nell & DJ Beda feat Anthya- Dance With Me (Soulcry Radio Edit)

Lisaya vs. Petersen pres. Soulcry - A Life So Changed (Vocals by Lena Jinnegren from Norway known of Era (Ameno, Misere Mani, The Mass))

Lisaya feat. Guido Staps - Veriditas

Lisaya - In Faith We Trust (Valletta Vocal Radio Mix)

Andy Guess - Always With Me (Lisaya vs Petersen Remix) *Unreleased Track*

Two beautiful chill-out remixes Lisaya made IMO:

I think Thomas Petersen lately has good sounding vocals, although Thomas is more focus on the harder vocals trance.
But you can check the different versions here:

Thomas Petersen vs. Mega 'Lo Mania ft. Franca Morgano - Without Your Love (PREVIEWS)

Im sorry Trance-MB but you just made a fool of yourself. Wouldn't believe you would listen to such cheesy shit after 20 years of EDM.

I'm not ashamed for what I listen(ed) to for a second, not even for Scooter, Eurodance or Happy Hardcore.
Some here will agree with you and some won't, but that's fine with me.

Sorry boy, but your the one making a fool of youself. Now, get lost please.

@ Trance-MB: Its actually funny you should link DJ Nell & DJ Beda feat Anthya- Dance With Me (Soulcry Radio Edit). I was just wrapping up a 1hour set to a girlfriend of mine using that song as the closer.

Thanks for the music. Some of those tracks were unknown to me and Im sure gonna use the chillout songs in a future project!

Why would you reply to this thread if you hate vocal trance so much?

No one thinks you have "cred" on this website simply because you think vocal trance is cheese. And so what if it is?

You're welcome. Nice that you like them, as it always is a matter of taste.

ive been in the scene along time...and vocals are probably what got me hooked back then.....but as time goes on, it seems i want less and less of them.....thought that was the evolution of every one!

Lol, just because that's how your musical evolution took place doesn't mean it's like that for everybody.

I know some old-school peeps that started listening to house in the 80s and they still prefer the vocal tracks (they are what started the whole scene afterall!).

of course not...but after all these yeears, the only people i know that still love, crave a vocal filled set are the ladies i know.....the guys all prefer something a lil harder, or have moved away from trance to tech, and breaks or what not

Indeed, I also liked vocals in house to back then, but I also liked house without and synthesizer tracks (also non-vocals like e.g. Axel F and Crocket's Theme). I still like vocals, but I don't think I prefer vocals or non-vocals.
Sometime I get the impression people here think you can't like both for some reason.

My friend Lisaya, who's 34 now started using vocals in his tracks around 2005, also making the lyrics which made it more interesting for him.
