Dude,

add Chicane - Saltwater to that list. I know people that hate Trance, but love that song.

I second that. The Chicane - Salrwater video once avaliable @ TA was one of the first trance tunes wich caught me up. Another nice track I remember of enjoying since the begginning is Binary Finare (Kay Cee Remix) and the PvD - For An Angel (PvD VDT mix).

I have sucessfully converted my girlfriend to eletronic music some months ago, with a tape full of Bjork remixes, later on I've introduced her to a big Underworld mix and right now I am brainwashing her with small drops of carefully selected trance

Also, if you like the idea, spend some time finding good intrumental music out there for you two to listen, not necessarely trance. Thais way you can help her move (if she wants, of course) from the I-like-vocals-wich-I-can-sing-along/mtv-top-40 behaviour).

Wish you luck, FinnHawk

Originally posted by FinnHawk I am making a trance mix for my new girlfriend who claims that she "hates" trance. But I think she just hasn't heard very much good trance, yet. We are both ravers, but most of the local "Trance" DJs here (in Victoria, BC, Canada) spin "Progressive House/Trance", which understandably can be somewhat boring for someone who doesn't understand "Progressive" music. She tells me that currently she enjoys Funky/Dicso House, 2-Step (UK Garage), Speed Garage, Breaks and Drum and Bass at parties. Outside of parties she listens to mostly RnB and Top 40s Pop/Rock. She also says she really likes music with vocals she can sign along to. Here's a list of some of the songs that I will tentatively select from... Are there any other tracks that you think I should add? or tracks that I should drop? In Alphabetical Order (By Artist): Art of Trance - Breathe *Agnelli & Nelson - Everyday [I prefer the non-vocal mix, but maybe the vocal mix would be better here] *Ascension - Someone !Bedrock - Heaven Scent BT - Dreaming Conductor & Cowboy - Feeling This Way Delerium - Silence (DJ Tiesto Mix) *Faithless - Insomnia *Freefall - Skydive !Gouryella - Walhalla Joshua Ryan - Pistolwhip Lightforce - Join Me (Lightforce Club Remix) *!Onephatdeeva - In & Out Of My Life (Quake Vocal Mix) [Does anyone have this mp3?] Paul Van Dyk - For An Angel Pulser - Cloudwalking (Original Remix) *Push - Universal Nation [what's the REALLY GOOD remix???] *Rank 1 - Airwave !Robert Miles - Children (Dream Version) and/or Fable (Dream Version) Rhythm of Life - You Put Me In Heaven With Your Touch (Thrillseekers Remix) OR (Lange Remix) Solar Stone - Seven Cities (V-Ones Living Cities Remix) *Space Brothers - Shine *Star Party - I'm in Love (Ferry Corsten Remix) !Tukan - Light A Rainbow (Greencourt Remix) !Underworld - Cowgirl (Original Mix) OR (Bedrock Remix) !Westbam vs. Red Jerry - Wizards of the Sonic (Matt Darey Remix) Sal

Great list here, but i recommend:
Ian van Dahl - Castle in the Sky (Peter luts remix)
Mars & Mystre - Save the Rave
Stargazer - is there anybody out there
Zombie Nation - Kerncraft 400 (Ohohoh remix)
Svenson_Giele_-_Twisted_(Energy_mix)
Safri Duo - Played A-live (Original Club Mix)

i hope they help

dude, if u be runnin short on mp3s check www.audiogalaxy.com and that will get u every mp3 u want, well just about

Here's a few I have used to convert:

Can't go past Jan Johnston - Flesh (probably Tiesto Mix)
Dominion - Lost Without You
The Warrior - Voodoo
Tenth Planet - Ghosts
Utah Saints - Lost Vagueness (Oliver Lieb Main Mix)
Coast 2 Coast feat Discovery - Home
Perpetuous Dreamer - The Sound of Goodbye (great closer)

Good Luck M8!

Blank & Jones - DJ Culture (Kaycee Remix)
Paul Van Dyk - We Are Alive (DJ Icey Mix)
Moogwai - Viola (Armin Van Buuren Mix)
Orbital - Halcyon & On & On
BT and Tori Amos - Blue Skies (Paul Van Dyk Mix)

I think that'd do it..

For people who "hate" trance, you need to throw in some commercial shit like Sandstorm, Better off alone, 9pm till i come....etc, just to hoook them with catchy shit, THEN introdce the real trance music

I have to say that Sandstorm isn't commerical shit. (I say it just because I'm Finnish, gotta defend the country ;I)

But I'll try to suggest Arrakis - The Spice to the set. I just happen to like it.

Gaah, signatures. I never come up with anything good to these.

The remix of Universal Nation you're looking for is probably the Ferry Corsten remix, that's the one with the huge explosion in the middle of the track. One of the best tracks of all time.

I am a DJ.

ome of my friends really liked riva - stringer,
I was playing it one day in my car while i was sitting in a parking lot waiting to pick up my brother, and I looked behind me and he was dancing his ass off. It was really funny, I gave him the name of the cd it was on(think i was playing trance nation 2001 when that happened, don't remember)
