I definitley picked the wrong subject for this thread. I meant not HOW to listen to it im aware that everyone has thier own taste i just mean like people here seem to know all the new stuff thats out at all times from all the latests artists and im wondering how. I suppose its this board? i dunno. thanks for the replies though.

Originally posted by scrut The topic sounds funny im sure but its a serious question. How do you get good at listening to trance how do you know what all is new how do you know what to listen to who is good where to look where to buy do you gotta be a dj? I must admit a dj is appealing to me but im too lazy to start so i just want to enjoy my trance but its hard when im ignorant about what all is good and what all is new. Tips? anyone?

Basically here it sounds like your asking how to listen to trance and be able to break it down in such a way as to know a good track from a formulaic cheese-fest?

but here it seems like you're asking WHERE we get all the new tracks?

Ok seriously....

I DJ so i try to keep as up to date as i can. I use loads of diffrent message boards, Look at DJ live set tracklists, Look at the new releases of at least 6 diffrent online shops, I have at Countless label's homepages bookmarked, Magazines....both online and in print. I got my favorite Record shop in Vancouver sending me their pre-release list that i order off of all the time. I also have tons of friends that are really into house music or spin it so we pool our resources.

tharts just off the top of my head....ill post more detail if you want but i got to get to sleep.

Some of you need to learn to read, its pretty clear that hes asking how to find info and such. I mean he could of worded it better but come on.

Yeah i had to read between the lines of his first and second post... the second post is a little bit more opaque about his query.

special k pretty much said it, you all make it look so easy but i knew there was work involved.

But the people who posted pretty much told you what you needed to know. READ the threads on this forum. Go to other trance sites and read forums there..

Thats pretty much the only way to find out about artists and increase your knowledge about trance music. Well actually there are other ways, but this is probably the easiest..

the best way to find out whats new and stuff, is as special k said, look at record shops, and labels websites to see whats up and coming, again, livesets from proffesional dj's are great for hearing new stuff.

if you are in a club, you hear something new, ask the dj what it is. i do it all the time and i nearly always get an answer (unless its some unknown white label thing ). i usually write it in my phone because if i am spannered i won't remember
