Tribe has never been an outstanding resource for say trance releases, upcoming parties or new trance news. Regardless, in terms of general discussion that board largely eclipses this one. Not a low blow to T.A, not at all. Just depends what you read either board for.
In regards to trance being dead. I almost want to start an argument about THE sound of the last two years sounding NOTHING like trance, but I’ll refrain. I’d be quickly refuted by Tiesto winning no.1 encore. Blah I’d be hard pressed to name one trance single from last year that blew me away. Seriously. My personal taste? Doubtful, one only has to listen to say the Radio 1 – Essential Selection (has always been regarded as industry standard gold ) to notice that the big sounds of the last few years have NOT being trance.
Or wait, was the argument about trance being dead in Toronto? I’m confused now. Hah

i guess a lot of people branched out to other genres but quite a lot of them still enjoy trance. Just not as die hard as they used to be. I'm really liking breaks for well over a year now but I have to say i still enjoy quality trance. : )

Trance isnt dying. Trance has shifted. Just like all the other sounds its modernized itself. Epic trance? Yes thats definately dead. Trance sounds more like a blend of trance, prog and techno now. But thats natural. Just look at what house was 10 years ago compared to today. Or how rock has changed throughout time.
Thank god epic trance is done. That stuff was one vocal away from being Europop.
As for Tiesto. The reason he's number 1 is not because of his great mixing skills. Its because hes had a few songs on the radio and hired a really good publicist. Number 1 does not automatically mean good. If thats the case then why was britney spears number 1 on the radio for so many years?

Tiesto was ranked by a "popular vote", Britney Spears was based on success / albums sold.
Regardless, Britney is good at pop based on that principal. Her music is not good based on your standards (nor mine for the record), but in a way it does automatically dictate success / good. And therefore the same applies to Tiesto.
Trance is "shifting" of course, but am I safe to say it's shifting into something less and less to which defines it in the first place? (and more into other genres that are more "in" at the moment)

The wasnt for Tiesto, it was more so for the fact he stated its all about UNITY, yet he tells another community board and everyone associated to FUCK OFF. You gotta remember we have our share of cocksuckers on this board too.
