I will do my best to get up to Ruby Skye to check you out.. Although you have had a radical change in your style. Staying away from the uplifting trance?

Not fully staying away, but I've definitely slowed down the bpms a little bit and especially in the beginning of the set leaning heavily to prog house & trance and electro & big room flavours. I don't find a lot of amazing uplifting trance anymore, a lot of it is very formulaic & preset-ful with same arpeggiated patterns, rarely anything new and ear-catching. Basically a lot of it is nice music beds, but lacking the main melody part. I'm not going to be humming a 138 bpm 16th note 4 bar arpeggio "melody" the next day... I do go from 128-130 to 135-136 still in a typical set these days. I still go for energy, builds, emotions and FUN, and it seems to be working pretty well, but I do understand if an old trance head is frowning or concerned!

Also, re: the mix you posted: Es Paradis in Ibiza is somewhat of a special spot, think the "mash-up crowd" of Las Vegas and throw in a big bunch of very drunken Brits (no offense anyone!) = no-go for 8 minute uplifting trance tracks... AND the hour was not from the end of my set.

I'm going to assume that most people on this forum aren't aware of ALL OF THE VARIABLES when it comes to booking a performing artist.

Here are some common ones to consider.

- Promoter
- Venue
- Artist
- Manager
- Agent

now include other possible variables

- quits job
- someone ends up in the hospital
- scheduling conflicts of any kind

there are so many possibilities

and I can say this without defending anyone, because one of my hats is being a graphic designer so I read a lot of the discussions that goes on amongst venues, agents, artists, managers in multiple cities around the country. The same conflicts happen everywhere.

It's amusing reading people's comments, where they think they know what's going on when in reality they have no idea.

God that is bad. The Electro and trance cheese is so uninspiring and predictable. Listen to a deep dish set from 10-12 years ago and it still sounds new and fresh. This is garbage.

Thanks for your feedback!

Ruby Skye is going downhill for more than just the talent (or lack thereof) they have been booking.

Everyone here knows the difficulty that can go into booking an artist.
