I used to listen to trance exclusively, but the past couple months, I've discovered more genres that I like...house, progressive house, minimal techno, electro, tribal, funky house, deep house, disco house, chicago house, hard techno, tech-house, etc...

Trance will still be my first love, but now, it's good to truly be a fan of EDM.

lol that sounded really cheesy

Steve Lawler - Lights Out 3 FTW!

Check out Lights Out 1 and 2 as well...

Satoshi Tomiie FTW as well

My best guess is that you'll be appreciating a wider variety of music in the future; you'll miss certain trance elements and will search for tracks that incorporate elements from both sides. Your average tempo will fall by 5bpm.
Optionally, you will later come in contact with good psy (in my time that was still called Goa, feel free to teach me the fundamental difference) and love that.
Then you'll wait and see that all these seperate branches are seemingly becoming vaguer and vaguer, as the tree of EDM grows to maturity and the vertex gets more compact. And love that process.

I wouldn't listen to suggestions from anyone cause It will probably bias your opinion before you listen to it.

If someone says its the best cd you probably wouldn't agree, and where someone says its a bad cd you may love it.

Just listen to everything and branch off from that. If you like holden, then listen to all of holdens stuff, and stuff from his label then other artists and cds they have made from his label.

uhm, congrats?

Progressive house practically is trance. It's so trancey that a lot of trance has been mistakenly labelled prog house, especially by journos who haven't done their research. It always amuses me when people say "I have seen the light... I've moved from trance to progressive house!" You've moved all the way from trance to its closest relative.

Compared to real trance, it's pretty damn similar. Listen to an early prog house track like... Song of Life and tell me it doesn't sound as trancey as many trance records. Ishkur sarcastically dubbed it "house-trance" because it was house meeting the trance aesthetic and making love.

what do you mean "real" trance ? can you explain ?


btw I am not trying to be a smartass, I am just trying to understand your point of view.

Before McProg, before Epic, before Progressive. Just raw trance. No complications. The base template the genre is taken from.
