congrats and welcome to a new level of musical enlightenment.

be advised that trance can be considered a gateway genre. be openminded - there is so much good music out there.

Originally posted by bluelimitd Hey everyone, I have been listening to rap/rock and roll my entire life up until this summer when I was introduced to trance by an austrian DJ and have since fell in love with eletronic music, mainly trance. I know pretty much nothing about trance except the fact that I love it. I do have some questions though. I have heard and love paul oakenfolds mixes. I love his 2000 mix @ space in ibiza, and his mix in havana (not sure on the date). anyways, I hear some eletronic songs and they sound terrible to me, and I will hear other songs and Love them. from the information gathered, the songs that I mainly do not like are breakbeat (:conf the faster paced songs that I can listen to all day are 'trance' (:conf. I really like darude, is there any other artists that produce a similar sound to darude??? I am just looking to gather a huge trance collection and was looking for some advise on who to buy/look for/download. Any advise on anything trance would be greatly appreciated guys. Thanks a lot!! a new trance fan, Tyler

well, it's ok that you like darude...for now. i mean that's where i started at. but once you start to download and hear quality trance, then you'll laugh at yourself for even listening to darude and the like.

it takes some time though to find out your taste, it won't come overnight. but meanwhile, if you like faster paced songs, then try hard trance, and a lot of people are converted into trance by this style. i personally like uplifting trance so i'm not the best person to recommend stuff, but i know a lot of people like:

dumonde, george acosta, nu nrg, dj scot project, cosmic gate are some

anywho, good luck, and i'm sure you'll be addicted soon

I dont like Darude... I wouldn't recommend anything similar to Darude... well maybe big cheesy synth riff instrumental trance like Dumonde or something... yuck

haha, yeah darude was just the first artist i heard. i think i heard him on MTV or something. I will try to stay away from him, his songs are kind of repetitive. I downloaded the Nu NRG - orgasmatron (9-7-02) and LOVED it. I also have some paul van dyk remixes that I love. I am thinking that I am into hard trance as well as uplifting trance. I like the music that you can blast in your car and people say "what is this sh**?!?!?! I LOVE IT!"

Well then try anything by :

Cosmic Gate
DJ Scott Project
Armin van Buuren
Gouryella

Should be what U are looking for me thinks

I am on rapid download mode for all the artists you guys recommended, I am trying to find my taste. I like redd square - in your hands (minimalist remix). I also really like a song by Paul Oakenfold called 'this is trance'. also i like the song 'fields of love' by ATB & York. also I like cosmic gate - the truth. I really like the song cosmicman - back to unity. Oh yeah i REALLY like elastica - the audience (ext mix). I dont know why, but that song just really appeals to me. I also like Eon - pocket damage. I also really like a marco V remix of Future of sound london - papua new guinea. Also Paul Oakenfold - binary finary, paul van dyk - techno energy (club mix), rapid eye - circa forever, vac scene my emotion (kid vicious remix), William Orbit - barbers adagio for strings. I hope this helps!

Well it looks like you're on the right track.

Some excellent tunes I've been hammering atm that i recommend are

Jan Johnston - Am I On Pause (Trailer Trash Mix)
Armin vs Airwave - Sunspot
Ian Van Dahl - Try (Alphazone Mix)

Green Court - Silent Heart (Flutlicht Mix)
Megera vs DJ Lee - Full Intention

Fire & Ice - Souvenir de Chine
Fire & Ice - Neverending Melody
Fire & Ice - Lost Emotions 2001
Fire & Ice - My Galaxy (2000 Extended Mix)
Extreme Trax - Dont Stop (Yves Deruyters Vision Mix)
V-One - Dead Cities
Airwave vs Rising Star - Sunspot
Airwave - Lady Blue (Ambient Mix)

etc etc...

one more thing about my taste, and is anyone with me on this.... female lyrics dont appeal to me all that much either. its not that i despise them, I just think it takes a little away from the beat and focuses the listeners attention elsewhere. I mean lyrical songs go good with live sets and such once in a while I think, but as far as listening to one single song, I dont really like lyrics. what are some good non-lyrical songs?
