um.. well first off i wouldn't call it trance. i don't have any of my true straight trance mixes posted up there, mostly its a mix of prog house + breaks. second, what you may think is "popular" personally is anything but here where i am from. around here, the average person has not heard of any of these tracks. so your wrong there too. third, the reason i play the tunes i do is because I LIKE THEM. one of the biggest reasons i make mixes is first off so that I can listen to MY songs and then secondly so my friends and others can. i can put whatever i feel like in there, thats why i started doing this. if you think you want the world to be a different place, than you go out and make it happen. get your own turntables, and your own tracks. you have to remember i'm not going to get a gig spinning where you are, i am working locally for starters, and here all of this material is fresh. maybe you should go back and re-read my first post, where it talks about "filling an intended niche." guess what, thats just what i am doing here. oh and read the part that says "ignore it" if you don't like it, you must have missed that too. or is it because you fall into this category:

I could be way off on this, but I think the real reason that Wink is annoyed with all the personal websites is that every time he sees one, he is reminded of how other amateurs are working just that much harder at getting recognized.

amen.

how worthless of a life it must be to try to criticize everything you personally don't like, or can't understand why others do!

Very interesting replies. Thankyou all for participating.. Obviously I dont have to check out peoples profiles but I find it interesting to learn about the social surroundings in my hobby of trance. I just happened to notice the overabundance of new djs promoting a god like image and attitude on their websites with not much experience or difference in tracklist or the way they play compared with other big and small djs. This is interesting because we not only have the music which is trancey but now a whole interactive approach to being "trancey" visually through websites. It seems sometimes like more and more of amature djs these days concentrate more on their visual approach and biography than their actual music. cheez!

well i definitely see what you're saying...but i think most people aren't out there whoring themselves...it's just passive enough that it's not that annoying to me.

what's annoying though is everyday you have to get some post about this radio show that is gonna be on at this time and that you have to check it out bla bla bla...that gets a little old..

I've got a site, but it's ghetto as hell (friend put it together). It's more for a little bit of info and as a joke, in a way. I don't go around promoting it though. It's in my profile, and that's it. Probably shouldn't be either. I'm a much better dj than my website would indicate, but I don't really give a fuck as things either happen or they don't. I'll keep doing what I do and see what happens.

I think you are talking shit this forum should be packed out with djs And music fans whether or not they have their own websites . Do you think all the big name djs all started of as pros ?

Good luck to anyone with their own website at least they are taking the inititive and are into the scene

It seems like sooo many users profiles on Tranceaddict have their little "www.me.com - I'm a dj been spinnin for 2 or 3 years, blah blah blah..i havent started to produce yet but soon enough.. bla blah" Along with some of their pathetic "studio pics" which end up just being some decks and a mixer.. AND THEN.... jesus, whats also mandatory on there websites is pictures of themself posing really seriously like they're fuckin sasha or some trance god off a GlobalUnderground CD. Maybe it's just me.. I just had to say something.. it seems to be getting a bit out of hand. I mean dont get me wrong... I've found a few that are genuine.. but for the most part they seem to be VERY similar.. *shrug* ok flame me. heh btw.. I know this thread isnt very productive.. I just feel like bitching a bit.. -an annoyed addict

i think u need to just calm down and worry about what u want to achieve. ITS NONE OF UR BUSINESS TO GO ABOUT TALKING ABOUT NEW AMATURE DJ'S LIKE THAT, PEOPLE ARE HEAR TO BE HEARD NOT HAVE SHIT THROWN AT THEM. I THINK THATS WHAT AMATURES AND PROS DO ACTUALLY I THINK ITS GOOD THERE GOT THERE OWN WEBSITE SO THEY CAN BE HEARD.

ALTHOUGH I KNOW WHAT U MEAN BY [url]WWW.ME.COM[/url]

I dont have any problems with that, everybody has to start with something.

I got my site on my signature.
