Claiming to be from Holland yet claiming Trance is dead and that his country never plays Trance is a big contradiction. You can't swing a dead cat in Holland without hitting a Trance DJ or producer Even the radio in Holland, including the commercial Top 40 stations, is Dance and Trance friendly. just about anywhere in Holland you can pick up 3 FM, Radio 538, and Slam FM, and all have some Trance leaning shows especially on weekend nights. In Holland's major cities you can also either pick up Fresh FM, or X-FM down in Southern Holland. Just what city in Holland, or near which city, do you live in?

Uhm, why would I do that?

I never claimed trance was dead, it was merely a question. You need to look at things from my point of view

I havent listened to radio for years, I can't find good trance CD's in stores, and I have no clue on what's new. Simply cause I was a teenager back in the days having little money and little knowledge on this music, all I knew is that I love it.

From what I gathered in my personal experience, Radio 538 stopped playing the trance I like around 2003, which was then replaced for Dance which in my opinion is horribly repeditive and dullsounding.
3 FM is mostly mainstreamness and I havent even heard about those other stations.

To answer yer question, I live in Assen as said next to the thingy with my country name in it. Its a small city up North, the "capitol" of my Province.

There ya go

radio 538 = mainstream shit, nothing wrong with it, but not the place to listen to trance. You just need to find the right medium to listen to trance I think, start listening to livesets, if you don't know where to download it you can pm me or something. And go to the local TA forum as someone mentioned, so you can see what kind of parties there are. There are lots of meetings with other dutch ta's, in case you can't find any friends to come with you..

Yup, thats why I stopped listening to 538 as well.

I found alot of livesets here which are indeed great quality (most of em anyway)

I'll have to check out the local forums yes I do know my country has quite some trance events and such

In your statement is one of the reasons Trance died. Too much being produced...seems every bedroom DJ has a track released every day....whatever happened to quality over quanity?

Thats why I was so surprised, thats why I am here, because obviously it isnt dead.

Yeah...From what I've seen most of TA talks about house mostly and hates trance though.

I used to get all my livesets from the TA livesets section, but there havent been new ones up in ages. How do you get them now?

I think the best way to do it would be in podcast form, just fire up a program and leech them all automatically, I cant stand digging through those shady porn popup filled download sites, whoring for invites to those torrent communities, waiting hours and hours for things to come through the direct connect hubs, it has gotten so much harder to just go and get some sets to hear. I guess I just dont have the motivation to go through all that to get files anymore.

Theres a fair amount of live sets to be found on share programs I guess. I always end up wanting singles anyway though.

You mean bedroom producer right?

The problem is that there are far too many copycats... and not enough innovation... If you listened to Trance b/w 1991 till about 1995... The tracks were diverse... Heaps of different and unique sounds were used... Not everyone used the same structure when writing their music.

Today Trance seems to sound all the same
