Nope

I was in an EDM IRC chatroom a while back, and was informed by several of the people there that Trance was dead. So Trance is dead I thought, well damn, I had just started producing trance. I didn't really believe them though. They were saying that nowadays it's all about D&B, breaks, and house. Well, something like that.

The most popular channel on Digitally Imported is the Trance channel, so that should tell you something. Anyway, I can't stand how Trance is broken up into a mind numbing array of sub genres, it's so ridiculous. I've never seen so many sub genres in any other style of music.

I think maybe the reason "trance" is now a dirty word is because it is associated with the Trance from the late 90's. They just want to put a new label on it to make it sound like something new and fresh. For a while "progressive" was the term I heard a lot, I don't hear it much anymore though.

Sorry to be a pain in the arse, but if you had asked the labels in the first place, you would have got a much better answer!

I'll agree that A&B is trance but don't you try and tell me that G&D is trance, they are more house that anything. Their mix of Beautiful things is definently not trance.

I'm just wondering what labels u were talking to. There are plenty of labels that push out trance, just do a litle digging, and if your track is dancefloor friendly all the better.

Is anything on my website trance? and if so, what style? and are there tracks that need to be in other categories?

as aquarian said.... trance is a dirty word. it was dirtied by acts like alice dj and ian van dahl. the year of trance was great however, these days it is like when people say 'trance', the stupid 'rockers/r+b homie' people automatically think of these dated sounds from 99/2000. i think even sending a demo with 'trance' on it to spinnin, armada etc would put them off before even listening. a better selection of words would be 'progressive, tech, melodic prog etc etc etc... because i think the work 'trance' brings to mind a dated sound that has lost its popularity. trance does exist in a more underground situation... but is a lot of the time mixed in with more 'commercial and electro/tech' sounding tracks..

examples would be svd.... he mixed on bbc radio 1 recently. now his sound will be big 'commercially' soon. house is now dieing down and rock/r+b are way past their peak.

i have never heared a+b djing but i will next friday. and i bet they will be tech based in their set. no one in the uk seams to dance to uplifing 'trance' anymore....

and trance will get back to big status. people thinking drum and bass will last much longer are in a dream world. it past its peak quite some time ago. i think the moment a genre gets to a place where people say it is big then it is already on a downward slope imo

Yea. Once you blow your load all you have left is dirty residue.
