half of the tracks on those radio shows really bore me,as theres no melodies that stand out,yeah sure,the production quality is nearly perfect - but who cares about that..they dont have any feeling or emotion in them which is all that matters imo..


There are producers that produces trance trying to be famous and not with their heart as John says, and in that category i put you in along with alot of other producers. Why do you produce? You loves to do it of course but generally all these "trying to be famous" producers doesnt realize the situation, they all think they are contributing something good to the scene while they are trashtalking others for making shit.

I produce as a hobby,as i love the genre of trance and want to make tracks in my own style - im an amateur producer and always will be - however,melody always comes first with me,i wont carry on a track unless the melody moves in some way (obviously its down to personal taste)
Great,if someone likes my track,then thats a bonus - but what im saying is that hear so many tracks on these 'popular radio shows with no melody whatsoever,but great production quality - which i dont agree with at all..

the difference is mike, that john has been doing it firstly for a long time. He's earnt the respect he gets, and he doesn't come off as a jackass, just a normal guy. He's not afraid to ask people here for help on writing articles, and has the humble side that an awful lot of wannabe's would do well to heed. Plus you slag trance off these days in nearly all fronts, so you could choose to do so in an intelligent manner, or just keep on doing what ur doing now. John gives a lot of us who don't want to move onto house music or otherwise quality tunes & introduces new artists, some psy, some not, they're still good.

You'll have to ask J00F that I'm afraid. He's the one who who reckons he plays it - Hence the sarcasm in my post.

It's not even particularly true. Trance no longer sells- when was the last Top 40 trance record? Producers looking to make cash now will either sample an 80s pop song and loop it or throw together an electro-house track. J00F's self-righteousness rings hollow because he would be unable to make a lot of cash from a trance "hit" even if he wanted to.

John's is a great DJ, producer and an inspiration to me but he's gotta move on. He's like that Gareth Emery 99% of trance is shite both of them like a particular side of trance, the side they only want to hear. Yet Gareth plays a lot of known to me before tracks and none of the shit he plays is really original so dogz bollocks. They've got the fame and the opportunity to make it better.
It gets on my tits when folk whine about how trance used to be better back in the 90s fucking get on with it this is today, yeah there's a lot of shite music out there but there're loads of quality trance as well. There will always be Benassi and there always be Tiesto.

True,a good point,you couldnt. But i think he also means the producers who make safe formula tracks with generally no feeling just to get playlisted by Armin etc. every week aswell..

Repost. I agree with everything he said aside from the part about Sander, but it's still a repost.
