Ok, I just want different people's answers to this question. How does everyone keep up with all the electronic music out there? I've been into trance for going on two years now and I am CONSTANTLY seeing names of songs and mixes and producers that I have NEVER heard of. Trance is ALL I listen to. I've listened to internet radio like Digitally Imported and been reading internet sites and all.... I just don't see how anyone could ever know all the different songs and mixes and producers. Maybe it's because I spend a lot of time listening to live DJ sets. I'm TOTALLY about the live set compared to buying a studio album. Anyway, just wanted to see what people had to say....

Same here man. I've been listening to trance for over 4 years now and it never ceases to amaze me at the enormous amount of trance I see that I've never heard of before. I know I'd REALLY be in the dark if it were not for good old TA but seriously nobody can stay on top of it all. Its just not humanly possible when you consider just how much new music hits the streets every week. Every Sunday I hit Juno to see the new trance releases come out. Out of 50-70 new releases on average, I'll recognize only a handfull. And this is just the new trance releases. I just look at it as a good thing though. There is so much music, you never know when you may discover that amazing tune when you least expect it. And its especially great for DJs. There is so much music to choose from, we can enjoy unique sets weekly.

i hear you..

i get ideas from forums like this, music sites, friends (dj's mostly), and clubbing (when a dj spins a good song). when i do searches of producers i like, i often see songs when they remix another producer that I can check out

one thing i learned is that it's impossible to be caught up unless you listen to music several hours a day

Yes! Finally somebody sympathises with me! I am just getting into trance and it is so hard to find out everything and keep up on it! I just try to find about 5-10 artists I really enjoy and get into them alot. Then just keep on eye on everything else.

I suppose we all have the same problem, some more than others.

Too much trance music and new productions out there for anyone to keep up but listening to live bradcasts is a good way to keep up, i've been listening to trance for about 4-5 years and the last 2 for me have been more hectic than ever!

I got into trance originaly by just listening to the radio (yeah, can you imagine?) there was a live show on at 10PM on Saturday nights called 'Live at the rage' Everyone in Vancouver knows Z95.3. Since then, I recorded songs with a tape player, most of the time this music is word of mouth, going to events, listening to the music.. keeping up with the latest.

It's a difficult task, i've been listening to electronic music for almost 11 years, still cant keep up no matter how hard I try, and want to.

Yeah Power 92 has a thing every saturday called Club 92 from like 8-12..its not all trance, but its some.

This is one of the reasons I love these forums. Without TA I'd be lost in the masses

i'm glad i'm not the only one......

I do the same ....mostly check out websites and T.A (ie: trance.nu, ivibes.nu). I just check out the DJ playlists and tracklistings to find out whats new.

The site that really cleared things up for me was www.ivibes.nu in the artist profiles where they give u a background of the diff. producers and their different aliases. A lot of times u'll see a lot of diff. productions but all in all its more the same producers but just diff. guises. The hard part is keeping up w/ who's who and when tracks came out. lately I have discovered that a lot of new producers are getting into the scene which is great (elevation, rusch & murray, etc.)

edit: oh yeah, tune into Global DJ Broadcast too !
