You can think that. It might happen, but it might not. It all depends how much more commerical this whole thing becomes. Only way to see is to wait.

I think `comercial trance` hasn't hit it's peak of popularity yet. There is still a lot of audience yet to reach if you ask me, especially over here in the states... As for DJing, it'll be around forever. Computers will NEVER be able to deteremine what track is going to keep the energy of the crowd high....

Commercial trance is fucking tripe and I hope it never has a high popularity in the United States.

I hope computer geeks take it all over


but that is only because I am a computer geek.


The next 10 years or so are going to be very interesting, supposedly analog computers are just over the horizon, i bet that will shake things up even more.

I dont think music performances will ever really get to the point where anybody can just fire up a computer and sound good. Sure you might think that the computer is "doing everything for you" but in order to create any sort of impressive display with one alot of work and caffiene is needed.

People tend to appreciate things that are generated by a computer less because they seem less real somehow, I don't really understand why, I guess since ive sepnt a few years learning about all the work people put into the stuff I have a weird perspective.

In the end I dont really think it matters what happens, as long as their is a good sound playing. I for one would enjoy an EDM scene with less emphasis on DJ's and more on crowds getting together and having fun.


Commercial trance already had high popularity in my section of teh USA. I went to a mexican food place with kareoki and pople were singing DJ sammy. Even in the little hick town I grew up in, where the only thing to do at night is midnight bowling, they play stuff like castles in the sky and whatnot.

I think the stuff has gotten very popular in the states, i mean, it must have if it reached my little redneck corner of them.

Dang, was talking to my friend today about mixing technique with bars. I told him that if he gave me a vinyl, I probably couldn't cue more than a few seconds on it, as opposed to FinalScratch I could cue a minute+ (because of the timing/cue display)! And I think these new waves of mixing techonology are going to invade, and will stand contemporary with the TT's ("Tech Twelves") in a club, whether people think digital is heresy or not.

I think that since these aids will be here, standards probably will rise. And about dj's producing, I was actually so happy Niklas Harding didn't produce, and now that he does it shattered my only example of someone getting far without producing ;/

I think the future will stress more performance, kind of what Rank 1, Infected Mushroom, and Nu-NRG are doing... but again, what about the dj (one man crew)?

We'll have to wait and see, there's always that risky innovative step taker!

Actually, I just came across this pic, trying to find how to spell Micro de Govia's name, since everyone ignores grammer in names (e.g. Paul Van Dyk), but besides that... check this pic of de Govia:



One man

Yea, I know.. I hate renaming names like Armin Van Buuren sine it's so common that people typo it.

Yes, but you have to keep in mind there are only a few acts that actually do anything on the charts. Chemical Brothers, and Crystal Method are two of those, along with Fatboy Slim, but most progressive, trance, and even house (to some extent) don't do too well on the charts. I wouldn't say that EDM is low-profile, but it's not exactly high-profile like say hip-hop or rock.
