ATRC is more progressive.. that's the sound the guy "doesn't" want.. As for "proper" trance being dead, I call bullshit. The genre is just more fragmented than it used to be (although some will argue prog trance isn't really a "subgenre" of trance, and to their merit they are technically right). I don't really consider PVD's sets to be "technoish" if you ask me.. i've been listening to some of his recent ones (energy 2003 actually ^^) and urr..



01. Digital Pressure - Aftershokk
02. Terry Bones vs Fred Baker - Introspection (John Askew Remix)
03. Paul van Dyk vs Second Sun - Crush (Vandit Dub) OMFG ownage
04. Modulation - Spirits (Cosmicman Remix)
05. Three Drives - Carrera 2 (Nu-NRG Remix)
06. Paul van Dyk ft. Vega 4 - Time Of Our Lives (Club Mix)
07. David Forbes - Answers
08. Rafferty & Kershaw - We Are Connected (Marcos pres. Sunfire Remix)
09. Paul van Dyk - Reflections
10. Solo Plastic - Get Down
11. Paul van Dyk vs Marco V - For A Revolt (Bootleg)
12. Jonesey - Independance (Stadium Mix)
13. Ron van den Beuken - Timeless (Ron van den Beuken Remix)
14. Rhythm Gangstar - The Crowd Song (Paul van Dyk Rework)
15. Underworld - Born Slippy (Paul van Dyk Remix)
16. Paul van Dyk - Nothing But You (Original Mix)
17. Paul van Dyk - Connected (Original Mix)

that tracklist doesn't look very techno to me.. call me insane if you will, but i think the migration is being exaggerated a bit.. armin still plays his ASOT radio shows aswell, which feature mostly, you guessed it, trance (last set i heard from him had plenty of trance anthems in it aswell). Tiesto seems to be the only one that is really turning tech-trance... which i don't enjoy very much

Well, i think even PVD sets are not true trance, sometimes he mixes techo, house (!) songs, etc. PVD is far from the "top TRANCE dj" what he was some years ago. Armin and Tijs are trying to use some prog songs in set, but i dont it is bad, just make the sets are more enjoyable. If they want to make a banging set, why is it a bad idea to play some techno if it is fits for the style of the set ?

IMHO everyone need to decide what he/she like :

1. You like your fav dj, because he makes trance sets. Dont like the sets of your favourite dj ? Try to find other DJs, who can mix some true trance sets

2. You like your fav dj, because you like his mixing, track selection, etc. In this case everything is fine, you dont need to find other dj sets to listen.


If we talk about ture trance set, think about the Above & Beyond, Lange, Ronski Speed sets. If we delete their own produced/mixed songs from their set what we will get : the same 20-30 actual popular trance song. It is boring, the same songs, the same sets.

How can it be the end of trance when 2003 has been an amazing fucking year? We still have half a year to go, so it might even surpass '99 (doubt it though)

As for the sound of trance, people say "trance hasn't evolved", well excuuuuuse me. Take a look at the uplifting days of '99, and compare it to a typical track in 2003. I've noticed it's getting deeper, darker. I have no problem with this.

The thing about it is that hes trying 2 bring a new style tho just like he did with Just be and it worked. they songs areunt TOO HIGHT up. but the vocals acaully are the best thing in 2007. The Track Carpe Noctum is like traffic but it hink he could of prefected the shit ouf it. but generalllyy its an amazing album...oh and Ten Seconds Before Sunrise is like Forever today TIMES 12

Haha... I find it funny that people are only now talking about the "end of trance," when trance has been dead for quite a while, when people began to only play huge, cheesy anthems and all of that hard trance shit started to make its way in. These days youd be hard pressed to find GOOD trance... but its out there. John 00 Fleming, D:Fuse, PvD (on his more private club sets where he lets out all sorts of crazy genres, unfortunately he doesnt usually play like he used to), Sandra Collins (From the little I've heard of her), Lemon 8, James Holden, Markus Schulz (from the little ive heard of him...). Armin is really the only big name that has kept my ear most of these years, tho I still prefer when he was playing it deeper with that extra edge. Oh well. I still enjoy some wild, over the top anthems from time to time, though usually in moderation, because it gets stale, fast for me.

And although im not a huge Tiesto fan (though his innercity 98 set is one of my all time favorites), I have great respect for the moves hes taking, especially with such an established fan base built on his classic sound. There will always be hundreds or thousands of bedroom DJ's who can mix perfectly fine that probably idolize Tjis, and will be playing his hits for years to come, so its not like this music will never again breach human ears. It takes balls to venture into new territories when you find it necessary to, especially when it means leaving behind a lot of those fans who made you who you are. So props Tiesto and ALL DJ's who try something new.
