Maaz: Anyway, I like my dnb as tranzier as possible

Man, trancy dnb sounds soooo cheesy!!!!!!!!!!

Dark stuff is where its at. The new j magik cd is fricking awsome (not the house one) Once again ill recommend ryme tyme - payback part 2.

DnB doesn't need to get any bigger than it is, it does just fine as it is. Any bigger and it will really start to suck like trance.

i doubt dnb will ever go with GU, only cause the BPM difference is too crazy. if you listen to the cds most of tracks are spun around 125-135, while dnb is 190 bpm it would be too crazy of a change, but you never know.

breaks are wikkid

most drum n bass sucks!

dnb can never really become fully mainstream, i just think its sound is too complex and hard for a traditional mainstream sound that appeals to 'everyone'.

however, breaks are a different issue. they are the white man's answer to hip-hop. they will (and in some ways already are) become very big, and will continue to get bigger.

dnb > breaks

well...back on the oakie topic...


look into what he has always played. his GU Oslo had much more of a focus on DnB, as that(to a certain degree) was what he was interested in prior to his trance days. it was never the distinct DnB most TAs hate today, it def had more of a prog leaning.

people have always hated Oakenfold for not sticking to the 98 99 trance style, but thats because it was new and fresh when he was playing it, he has moved on. i just remember seeing Oakie in 2001 and i was honestly the only person dancing to PMT - Gyromancer. it was horseshit, but most people cant dance to something unless the beat doesnt change- and that makes the worst dance music in my opinion.

as far as popularity, i think breaks will always be more popular in the trance community, just because of the often found similarities between the two genres.

and back to Oakie, many say his trance days were the best, but he was playing breaks back then too and no one noticed. Gus gus - Purple (sasha vs. the light) anyone? that was my fav track on tranceport. and like most of the tracks on that cd it was released 97 98 way before most people found that cd|

haha, this reminds me of a quote i read in a review of Sashas GU013:
'electronic dance music is soul music for white people.'

i think thats quite appropriate|

I have certainly entered the breakbeat route lately, i also been tuning into alot of alternative music.

Tech house is the style i been hounding lately. Burridge, etc.

I would just like to point out that I am a member of TranceAddict so that I can be closed minded, because its TranceAddict. So whether or not in everyday life I am open minded, who cares. I am here to be close minded, besides its a common known fact that everything sucks in comparison to Trance.

j/k

i cant predict how the popularity of breaks nor d'n'b is gonna change w/in the next couple of yrs but, personally, i dont think either will become mainstream music. in terms of popularity w/in the EDM scene, breaks seems to be getting acknowledged more. seems like theres a recent trend of like electro break artists like Infusion & Evil Nine more so than the likes of Hybrid if u get the gist.

oddly enough, i was first introduced to EDM through DnB and i loathed it then. first EDM party i went to was DnB party. i went home w/ a headache lol.... im still not too partial about it. though i like some dieslboy stuff, some aphrodite stuff, some global communication stuff. and kosheen too i guess! but for me to fully enjoy it, i need to be like in the right mood cuz too much of it just gives me awful headaches.

as for breaks, long live breakbeat! and death to Icey and all the other producers who's idea of quality breaks = sped up HHC sounding songs w/ kicks.
