NO THIS IS NOT ANOTHER TRANCE IS DEAD THREAD, but i've been curious, if people complain about the current state of the musical scene, why dont dj's simply play some of the older stuff. I know that us noobs wouldn't even notice since we dont even know half the tracks played at an even, but how would you guys that know a lot feel if a dj came and played a wonderful set but mostly composed of older songs?

I seriously wouldn't mind. It's not as if people go to the club to yell "choon" every 5 mins or so.

I'd say the quality is better these days, you just have to wade through more shit to get to it.

Tracks from the late 90s are really good but the majority of tracks from earlier are just plain. Bad production, basic melodies and sometimes too raw.

You do have your gems and classics but I don't agree that early 90's was better than now.

I agree totally. I think some of this has to do with label releases going more towards digital, leading to more releases which is giving less quality. I would love to hear more old tracks played. I think one of the reasons that Tiesto has gained some of his lure is due to the fact that his sets are more "predictable", at least as far as track selection goes. A lot of todays djs just want to be the guy with the most unreleased/new releases on their track list as if it makes them more popular in and of itself.

None of you is answering the question. The question is not whether newer trance (for whatever reason, even if it's just that popular new trance is bad) is superior or inferior to older stuff. It's also not about WHY you think whatever you do about that debate. The question is "what would your reaction be if a DJ strictly stuck to mostly older stuff--not necessarily even 'classics?'"

someone might hate new stuff, but think it was fun. Someone else might loathe all the older stuff, but not like hearing someone play a lot of tracks that he's heard. Or not. Carry on.

I'd love it. This is why I listen to classic electronica channel on di 95% of the time. (and house the other 5% - I switch when they start playing happy hardcore )

I wouldn't mind if someone just put on an Oakenfold 99 essential mix at a club and pretended they were djing... then I might go out and see a trance dj besides j00f or lawrence

I wouldn't mind that at all. I would actually prefer it. There's hardly any "stand-out" tracks anymore. Back around the late 90s and early 00s, there was. But back then, I was too young to enter clubs...think the scene is kind of in a funk right now....too many vocals and stupid breakdowns, not enough depth, musicmanship, truly good compositions....quality. I still go crazy over the tracks from back in the day...like Xpander, Carte Blanche, Heaven Scent, Flaming June, Surreal, Synaethesia, Affinity, Dido (Armin van Buuren's Universal Religion Remix), Far From Over, Endless Wave, We Came, Love Stimulation, Netherworld, Summersault etc.
