This is pretty much what happened to me. Got into trance casually off of asot (lol) in... 2003 I think. Was a casual listener of the genre till last year when I became a lot more interested in electronic music in general. This led to me becoming bored with trance then realizing the older trance style, and the wide range of edm genres were simply phenomenal.

I still listen to trance and enjoy it a good bit, but it's usually not the mainstream stuff, most of that I can't stand at this point. I guess I have the DJ Promotion boards on TA to thank for my expanding edm tastes, there are a lot of mixes there that are fantastic and have really opened me up to other forms and styles, great stuff.

rise in digital means A LOT of bad music because there are little to no repercussions (not to say there isn't bad music on vinyl, just less). there used to be a relatively low amount of labels and now anyone and their mother can create a label. resources used to be limited in that not everyone was able to afford or have access to producton equipment but now it's just a google search away for the newest torrent. it used to cost money to release tracks but now it's as easy as setting up a cheap website and uploading a few files. i don't know the cost structure of beatport but i'm sure it isn't that expensive (for uploading your tracks there not buying them).

Originally posted by bubbleguuum It's just that the barrier of making music is so low today compared to a few years ago, that we are overwhelmed by a flood of crappy tracks going nowhere. Some artists have high standards about their music, and don't consider that because a track exists and it's easy to release, it should be. However, a vast majority of producers is ready to release substandard stuff for whatever reason (money, being know to get gigs, etc). See the deluge of so called mnml release totally uninteresting, boring with no groove at all. Joe random played with whatever software and found bells and click, wow that's cool let's release it!

absolutely.

Music is not a journey. Don't buy into that elitist garbage, listen to what you like. The 'journeys' most people refer to is just the natural progression through what is popular... Thats why you have all these folks talking about 'growing out of' trance (which has already burnt out it's mainstream popularity) and moving into 'good music' which most often times refers to either the overly farty tech sounds or bleepy minimal sounds which are all the rage these days. Where was this 'journey' in 1998 - 2000? Give it another 2 years and people will be asking when you are going to grow out of 'techno' and move onto good music (read: what is popular at the time.)

What?

guide to trance.

steps 1.

1.kid tries drugs, goes to trance event, is knocked off his ass by how cool it is to him.

2.P2P searches Tiesto, Armin, *insert big name dj here* Grabs all he/she can find, and hammers it for a long time.

3.Kid grows up and stops doing drugs, music at 140bpm starts to become annoying and less good.

4.Kid starts listening to other genres.

5.Kid actually starts paying for music, because the real good stuff isnt on P2P.

6.Kid likes it more and doesn't have to be high and dream of touching unicorns with his hands in the air during an un danceable 45 minute buildup/breakdown.

7.Kid decides he will be the next big DJ and steals Ableton.(This can be replaced with producing)Often giving up because it isn't instant. (or see sticking with it, but wanting everything before they are ready)

8.Kid absolutely hates trance now and makes sure no one else in the world can enjoy it. His new mission, to "Save" noobs who don't know any better.

9.Clovis finally gets gis at WMC.

10.Profit.
