Which Trance Labels are the Most Succesful?

Just wondering which trance labels people thought were performing the most succesfully in the last year or so (sales-wise and/or release-wise). I can't think of many labels off the top of my head, but I imagine Lost Language, Five AM, etc.?

Nebula?

euphonic
vandit

Vandit, I'd say.

Lost language havent been particularly successful money wise mate.

Lost Language or Hooj?

Anyway, if we're judging on the amount of money a label makes, Data or Positiva would be top of the trance list.

Possibly Lost (who AFAIK are a rock solid label) subsidise the lukewarm prog releases that Hooj put out these days?

Bear in mind, they're the same company - one loses money, the other makes money and bails them out

Yea I know...but you have to remember, these scene isn't making the money it was as a whole.

Hooj has lost more money than Lost but still most independant labels aren't making the money they were.

I dunno....just coz its good doesn't mean its sucessful.

Recently vandit are lacking their originality, releasing tunes that have already been released on other labels.

Such as prime mover aka revolution 9, ralphie b - massive.

Although with the new pvd, nu nrg and second sun...that will change.

+ they don't really release that many tracks.

amount of releases, sales and money

quality instead of quantity

maybe so...vandit are a great label in terms of quality

but success doesn't always mean quality.

Look at Lightining/Bonzai for example......quality yes, success? no!

Look at Ministry of sound..release alot of bad stuff, some good stuff......probably the worlds most successfull dance label.

it depends on the point of view you have.

Vandit statement is "to release tunes that we like and move foward."

Paul usually signs oriignal work to be remixed on Vandit (german remixes.) As the example of Alibi, Ralphie B, Carrera 2, The Weapon and soon, The Eternal.

I would consider Vandit a great label. Most of their releases are great. and they do not flood the market with a release every week or so. Another to be successful label will be Euphonic.. so many quality rels coming!

some yes...but sales of the weapon and massive were fairly low...as they'd already had massive releases before being released on vandit

Vandit seems not to care about money. They could have released so many wonderful tracks and remixes by now...

Or are we spoiled?
