Jason is doing very well! He's a great friend and an awesome addition to any party. Here's a recent set by him: https://soundcloud.com/dj-j13/dj-j1...energy-trance-2

Wow, I like his style bro. I use to listen to his older sets when he was more frequent on here. Will def burn this to cd and add it for the ride.

Aurally speaking, I don't see how anyone can still be listening to trance now unless you're just starting to listen to dance music and it's the avenue you're taking (like many people have, myself included). It just sounds watered down now. That's no offense to the people still into it or trying to earn a living by it, but as a listener of music in general I don't see how you can't progress from that sound considering the deeper stuff (and not necessarily darker) that's out there. I don't know, I think of my lifelong listening experience as a progression. I've brought this up before. Started with hip hop, but if you want to stay underneath the electronic umbrella - Trance is Barney & Friends while techno is Pulp Fiction. That's how I view it, anyways. And who knows how much deeper or darker it can get before you find yourself sitting in a cafe with a glass of wine, puffing a cigar, listening to Jazz or some other old timer music.

Anyways, I went off topic as I sit here stoned, lol.

I meant to say I enjoyed the first half of that mix

I'm gonna go have a beer and wake up now.

On who's authority are you judging a genre to be watered down. There's sets now that make tiesto from back then look like crap LOL./

You come from rap than head straight to teistoo when he stopped playing trance than decided to get that tattoo of his sign. cmon man you truly don't have a background to justify what you're saying.

Maybe so, but my tastes have matured since then, too.

I was a fan of Tiesto at my most infant stage - that was five years ago. I think I'd shoot myself if I were still listening to him. That's not me, though. I don't just find something I like and settle. I want to explore further.

I've done enough listening and researching over that half of a decade to grow older at a faster pace than a lot of listeners. I'd say most of us TAs have; that's why we're here. But some people like their one genre and stick to it.

My initial post was meant to spark conversation, not to offend anyone.

We all think we're elitists when it comes to our music. All of us.

There is no best genre just because it has darker pads, basslines, leads, chord progressions. Its just a style of music and its all been done before. Perhaps your search is not broadly wide enough.

Why do you keep editing your post to misrepresent the context of mine that follows?

Wack. Anyways.. about that beer.

my post was edited before i saw yours sorry.

There's idiots on all the sides of end when it comes to genre's. I'm sure ultra had some dumbasses that barrel thru crowds or fist pumping drum code lovers ( no offense). The list goes on for each taste. There is no just one most mature taste in music, oh please.

I'm not talking maturity regarding behavior, Juan. Lol.

I'm talking about it in relation to music. How we all, as individuals, perceive sounds. Sure, one could argue that maturity in music doesn't exist. That's kind of the point of me starting this discussion, though.

Just thinking out loud here, brah. No need to throw them fat fists up.
