Vote with your words and your pocket book, as these labels are simply producing what will sell. They have to eat too, you know, and if they know they;ll be eating better by producing new stuff than rehashing the old, then they will do so. Simple as that.

Congrats, you just nailed one of the biggest reasons for trance being shit nowadays on the head.

I agree with Sand Leaper and others - most of the time the labels are just after cash, and the vast majority of the "new" remixes of classics that i have heard are pure crap.

i just haven't heard that many remakes that have been worth shit...most are done by some shitty producer that really has no business even attempting to make dance music let alone remaking a classic...

only good remake i've heard in a while is...

The KLF - What Time Is Love? (Tricknology Mix)

now that is a great update to a classic tune...

I fully agree with Sand Leaper, now and then theres a remake thats good, but most are shit, they need to stop bringing back shit remixes of good ol tracks and make new tracks that are fresh and original.

Yep. However, therein lies another problem. With Trance becoming this thing where everyone wants to get onto ASOT, they all stick with the tried-and-tested format, which has quickly become old. They want the fame, and they want everyone to cream their pants, so attempting anything new is out of the question for many producers.

*sigh* i'm soo sick about hearing about how trance is dead why don't we talk about ways to fix it instead.

how very true. agreed.

+1.

The good thing about these updated versions is that it brings new life into the OLD versions.

What he's trying to say is that, through the Viola 2005 mixes, it makes you wanna play the older versions as well, therefore bringing the classics to the newschool people :-)

We are. Just nobody wants to hear about it.
