I have been into electronica for a loooong time. I've been a DJ for about 3 months now, and am concentrating on hard trance. I also spin some hard house, but mostly hard trance

Lately, I've been getting this weird feeling about trance. I understand now why many people dislike the electronica genre, its so damn simple. I still love all my tracks, but sometimes I just wonder if there is something out there I haven't found yet. It's like I'm searching for something that will complete my musical needs.

I would like to start spinning house and drum n bass, but I can't afford to start picking records from all different genres. Do you guys ever feel like this? What did you do??


Rrrrrrrrg, its so annoying!!!!! I want to feel happy and stoked about my music and how I play it, but something inside of me is taking away from me fully enjoying electronica!!!!

I feel the same way on some days. Just can't find any music i want to spin or listen to. On those days I usually pull out the guitar and dust it off and play for a couple hours.

Sometimes it's good to have a change or get back to your roots!!

Yeah, I'm already spinning hard trance, acid and techno, but i want to do some breaks as well. And as with you, i know i couldn't afford to spin them all. Just do what i do with techno. You see, I go record shopping every week, so i go like 4 weeks getting trance and then one week i'll get techno, so i have some. After a while, it builds up into a collection.

So try just buying a few and finding out if you really like it and build your collection gradually

Trance tracks are usually quite simple. Period. That is part of what makes them trance--you can't have beats etc that are so complex and still have them lull you into a trance like state. Think about why Trance is called just that.

There are often times that I will get sick of listening to my tracks or mixes and so I'll stop for a couple of days. I listen to the music that I used to listen to or the radio etc and man, after just a few hours, I'll really start to miss Trance. It's not because the tracks are simple, it's because the tracks instinctively know how to heighten emotion--your emotion--to relax you, energize you or put your mind in a place that takes you away from life and puts you down where there is nothing more than music--simple trance music. That is what makes trance so increadible.

Trance doesn't have to be simple at all, only hard trance. There's lots of trance out there that's very complex and detailed, and I don't necessarily mean prog trance. Listen to some tracks on Platipus or something like that, or some goa stuff. They're much more musically complex than any other sort of dance music.

That said, if you spend the whole time listening to trance, it's easy to get sick of it, as it would be with any sort of music. Stick on a few CDs of something else and listen to that. Just because trance is your first love doesn't mean you can't like other stuff too.

i'm going through a period right now where i'm not buying records cause i don't know what to buy

i spin hard house and hard trance... but lately i'm really gettin into deep and progressive house... in fact i just produced my first track

so now i want to spin deep and progressive house, but i know i'll miss the energy that comes with the hard beats

i don't know what i want, crazy energy, or some soothing funky-type beats

I heard learnin to spin RNb and perfectn RnB...can teach you so much...and you could apply those skills when you spin trance and also improve the way you mix trance as well.

Who gives a **** if its simple to make, when you are a DJ, your main priority is to make the dancers feel good...like taking them for a journey....

Trance sounds good..

RNB doesn't...
