omg LOL someone just told me about doing this, i had never heard of it
wtf is this world coming to?! we live in an ass world (nuthin wrong w that for the most part)

and ravemontreal...well said

You missed my point All-night about "the good old days", I wasn't saying that it was better, I love this scene as much as before. i'm saying that track for track, there's no reason to think that music was better before, unless you mix it up with memories (fuzzy or not)of great partying. The context of partying was better, And we can't deny that.

Also, not liking a new trend, doesn't mean it's necessary bad music.

It's pretty obvious that not ALL people are now bitter and crancky, and individualists, or that the scene sucks. I would have stop playing.

i maybe missed your point, but from my perspective things were better.As much as i despize the term Plur the sona days were great because you could walk in 1 night alone and leave with tons of new friends or have an interesting experience.I'm not saying its not possible today, but back then the after aspect of the scene was so new it seemed like there was limitless room to grow.I'm not saying that the scene sucks or the music sucks today, but if you take the attendance at aria into consideration c sur que c'est plus pareil.I remember the days when a friday night at Aria without a headliner would be packed(Preach omg techno fridays que ca me manque)...today you dont see it as much.As much as i like the new tendancy of music leaning towards the electro tip, I am just worried that electro becomes the new Trance.(So popular that the market get saturated with sub par releases in an attempt to cash in on the genres popularity.This is the state of trance right now no pun intended.)

electro is already the new trance

I think it's doubtful that you see a trend dominating like trance did for the moment, it's going too fast. it's the flavour of the month.

Electro as always been there, will come and go. I remember when everybody was going nuts on Acid House last year, buying every Josh Wink they could find, it was the new thing... It lasted 6 months.

its not quite as bad as that yet...


omg a meaningful TA discussion...

quick..we need Tag and Lopi to yoji this thread up

Today's it,s all OMFG HE DROP THAT TRACK AND THEN THAT TRACK AND OMG MIXED IT WITH THIS ONE.... first thing people ask is "was the set recored"... all about tracklisting, dropping the bombs, so little storytelling, so little underground.

so fuckin true. i would never recognize songs back in the days. i started out listening to edm thourgh live sets without ever seraching for the tracklisting just to recreate what i used to feel in clubs. then my curiosity got too intense about the tracks. we need more white labels to be played.

To be honest i think happy hardcore is going to become the new "in" thing. For example Yoji the japanese samurai master of hardcore, is already playing at the Guv in May. This clearly shows a growing trend towards the harder side of edm, maybe this has to do with the way the world is now...just a thought. Electro will also stay if it somehow incorporated into the new hardcore yoji style trned, maybe like hardcore happy electro. That would for sure take over the dance world. Most likely bring back the days of Sona and the Plur lifestyle. Everything else aside, one thing is clear and only one thing can save us all....HAPPY HARDCOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


YOJIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Im guilty of saying "OMG HE DROPPED THAT TRACK"

But thing is, I do listen for the set's story, or the set's sound, not just the tracks the DJ usually plays...

To be honest, guys like Timo Maas for istance... I dont always recognize every track, in fact I dont recognise MOST of the tracks, but I loooooooove Timo Maas as a dj, all the sets of his Ive heard have had a story and to accent that the guy can produce.

Satoshi Tomiie is another one (similar in style to Timo), that plays that great dark spooky stuff, he too can get to you somehow with his tunes.



ON THE OTHER HAND

I will still always go out to see guys like Ferry, Armin etc etc, just because it'll always be a reminder as to what got me into the music. I can differentiate between the pop trancy/electro/prog DJs that are more or less rockstars, and the DJs that are there to spin what THEY want to spin, however dark/dirty/underground it is.
