Back in the studio again, I 100% promise my debut solo album will be released next year. Don't expect any fluff, just hairy chest music!

Porpoises are the new mascots of trance

Found a few more quotes on Trancepodium, there's a couple of corkers here.

Here are some interesting quotes by popular DJ's about trance music. Share if you have more.

"I think all trance DJs deep down are embarrassed by what they play. They take it on the chin! They know deep down that they’re playing watered down techno." - Dave Clarke

"Trance had become a dirty word. Thanks to Ian Van Dahl, Lasgo, Flip 'N' Fill and DJ Sammy, a generation of kids has grown up thinking trance is the shittiest music since country and western." - Paul van Dyk

"I love what guys like Oliver Lieb and Paul van Dyk do. I hate that ATB and those sorts of people have prostituted this stuff. You listen to an ATB track and then you listen to Sasha, and the difference is as obvious as listening to Led Zeppelin and Rachmaninoff." - Brian Transeau

"The problem is a lot of things I hear out here on the radio are not trance - I mean that ATB track I heard the other day - is this trance? This is fucking Tellytubbies music." - Laurent Garnier

"I think trance music is the only music you can listen to without taking drugs. You can really feel the emotions in it. You can get on another level without the drugs. If you listen to techno, it's so monotone that you really need drugs to enjoy it." - Tiesto

"Progressive music is like having sex without an orgasm, it builds and builds but goes no where" - Unknown Author

"The weekend is a time to go out and dance your fucking nuts off. You don't want to do that listening to a boring, 8-minute progressive record." - Ferry Corsten

"Trance for me is more like the basic channel stuff, hypnotic and trance-inducing. The word trance has been bastardized to mean something totally different to what I originally intended and hoped it to be. To be trancy a record has to be monotonous almost, a long sequence without pause without a massive breakdown, up and down. This isn't trance, you can't fall into a trance when your emotions are being dragged up and down." - Mark Reeder

"Since the early days of humankind, dancing was always an expression of feeling good, and making someone feel good is the main intention of DJ'ing. I don't see the point of playing a record that makes people stand there, look at you and say "Umm, very interesting" - Paul van Dyk

"...too many people are simply in it for the money and fame, and not actually interested in producing quality tunes..." - Ian Van Dahl

"For some reason, some people tend to be very negative about trance in particular. I think "trance" as a genre has been declared "dead" by these people and the press for the 6th time now. And yet, it remains to be the most popular genre in dance music. In fact, in my experience, trance has never been bigger as it is right now! Maybe this is because several people have very different definitions of the genre "trance". Some people consider "trance" to be similar to "commercial" or "cheese". For me trance is the only genre that isn't a prisoner of it's own style. People that like real trance, are very open minded to all kinds of dance music. For example, I play a lot of records that are labelled "progressive" or "techno" in my recordstore. Trance to me is a journey through different kinds of dance music, not the formularic crap some call "trance". Trance is part of modern day music now. Face it." - Armin Van Buuren

"Trance is the kind of music that puts smiles on peoples faces. It's designed to make people feel great and forget about the trouble that they may face every day." - Ferry Corsten

"Don't be a prisoner of your own style!" - Armin van Buuren

It is what it is

















wank!

dave clarke, what a boner. techno turds upset that they never learned how to use any of the equipment and think they are talented just by turning on the machines. then they do more talking than actually making good music, throw in some race bullshit (detroit) and call it a movement.

Tiesto had a good comeback for that one.
