I'm barely 16 years old i like trance since i was 14 but since then i have been liking trance more and more... here in Acapulco the trance Scene SUCKS there r only a few dj's that play trance and i think that nobody of them really like it. personally i love trance in fact i have been deejaing since the past year. in the few parties that i have played (private parties nothing big really) i have noticed that the people really like trance but i think they haven't noticed his importance or they don't know about the trance scene in the world, because here in mexico PSYCHO rules and the people don't open their ears to other genres.
i hope the trance scene here grows and don't forget to visit my web page it isn't ready yet but it will be soon, i will upload some of my sessions, leave your thoughts about them and let me know your opinion, i don't care if it's bad haha thats why i want it. to improve

I'm 25. To me, trance has changed since i started listening. I've been addicted to trance since Late 2000. Before that I thought EDM was all gay house music. When I found there were other types of EDM, like trance which I much rather prefered, I began to explore in to its depths. I located tranceaddict in the beginning and found that by typing in tranceaddict.comwith Napster's search engine I was able to come up with tracks i considered "the best trance ever." and thats how I got my first impressions of what "real" trance is.

Needless to say, trance has progressed (no pun intended). I still listen to trance and I don't ever get tired of it... at all. I like the direction that trance is headed. the variety of different aspects that have influenced the new sound whch it has evloved from makes it much more involving than ever before.

But I still have those old tranceaddict compilations that i made about half a decade ago, and i think they are the best. I think they have more sentimental value than ever which is why i like listening to them so much. just the other day I found a copy of Rapid Eye's "Never Going Back" (Iberia Remix) and it made me feel so good to hear because its been so long.

I'm 21, and I started in the whole EDM thing around 2002, with the purchase of Moby's Play album. I attended summer school with a guy who dj'ed a bit with house and listened to some progressive trance, and he burned me a couple of cd's that really got my interest. John Digweed - MMII, Sasha - XPander EP, Danny Howells - Nocturnal Frequencies Vol. 3, etc.

I think I kept down the Sasha/Digweed path for the summer, until that fall someone gave me a copy of Summerbreeze by Tiesto. I didn't actually like it much at the time, but decided to try another trance album and bought Tranceport by Oakenfold. From there I just started listening to more and more, dabbling in Deep House (Naked Music/Om Records), Progressive Trance (Northern Exposure Series/Global Underground), and a few trance livesets from TA.

Today I still love some of the old GUs, as well as the newer ones from Warren and Howells. Mostly I listen to various forms of House today (Masiello, Warren, Porter, Howells, Sasha, Digweed), but every now and then I'll grab a liveset from Above & Beyond or Ronski Speed or someone. I don't hate trance now, but it's just a sometime-thing for me anymore. I do still love some of the old sets from 2001-2002, laced with now-classic Solarstone/Chicane/Thrillseeker productions.

My music tastes have diverged so much that I only dabble in Trance anymore -- I listen about equally to Trance, Rock, Classic Rock, Pop, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, House, Jazzy Electronic (Zero 7, etc.), and Progressive, so my musical knowledge in any one genre is probably kind of limited.

I've almost completely gone off what gets called "trance" nowadays....

Bring back old-skool house-influenced tracks with more organic sounds/percussion etc I say (Lieb style etc...)

Originally posted by G-Con Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum and have been quite amused reading the huge number of posts slagging so and so DJ off and stating that such and such genre is absolute shit. Also read quite a few arguing about what type of trance is good and whats bad e.g. '98 '99 trance vs present day trance or techy trance vs armin style trance (please correct me now if I'm wrong but when you put ASOT I assume it stands for a state of trance). Anyway, I think I'm gonna enjoy joining in some of the debates on here but was curious to know what sort of age the rest of you are and how long you've liked trance music. I'm guessing by a lot of the posts on here that many are in their teens but I could be completely wrong. I would also like to know what your views on trance are at this time. Just a short paragraph is necessary. I will start us off so you know the sort of thing Im after. I'm 23. I've liked trance since I was about 14 (1997ish). I still like trance but not as much as I did. Prefer the different styles that have developed - eg. tech-trance, electro-trance. I still think you can't beat pure uplifting trance but I find that I don't come across tunes of this sort that actually do it for me any more. Where as when I first got into it, they were ten a penny. Anyway I could go on and on but think I've set the picture...

there are alot of people here who think they know better then you ,yeah i hate those morons too ,specially the tiesto haters are stupid.

OMG



I totally wanted to do the twins

I'm 24. Been into trance on & off from the early-mid 1990s, mainly knowing music without knowing the id's, from livesets on tape & cd i'd buy which were recorded at local & national events. Went through many phases esp d&b, hardcore (the breakbeat style carl cox slipmatt etc used to play) before moving onto hhc when i was 13/14 & the more i moved on the more i appreciated the older sounds too, and still do. As trance got big, i lived through it all, some amazingly happy times. Nowadays my 'trance' is different to most peoples, having outgrown the tired & st ale osunds of some DJs i've once again gone on my own paths to find songs that work for me.

I'm now 26, and my first experience with electronic music was listening to Beethoven Sonata's to a cheesy drum beat with my mother in the car back in the mid eighties. Does anyone else remember those mixes?? Anyways, Vangelis and later Enigma sparked a keen interest in electronic music. Then Madonna, basically every album got me into dance music. Then La Bouche, Real McCoy, etc. in the early 1990's. But oddly enough, it was Nine Inch Nails and White Zombie that got me into modern dance beats. It was those background beats I loved to listen to, that mad me want more. It all changed with Crystal Method, when a b-boy switched a cd on us to "chage the vibe" at a local party. It was ona a 2 cd comp. that I bought soon afterward. On that cd was a BT song "Flaming June", and it blew me away! Well, a couple years later, I move to the Bay Area and go to a SF party. WOW! That was 1998, and the song was Binary Finary, PVD mix. Partied alot til 2001ish, then got jaded and learned the guitar. Sold my decks and my Roland synth, and my records collected dust. Well, I started to do p2p downloading later on, and it was this that helped spark my interest again. Then this website, then the clubs again. I love proggy anything, but trance will always be in my blood. Like most of this type of dance music, you need to experience it to truly appreciate it. Buying a cd doesn't do any song justice, for every one was meant to played loud and in a club!
TRANCE FOREVER!!

im 30
Trance is at its peak right now, I love it, Above and beyond, AVB, Tiesto, etc. are kicking it right. i love trance at outdoor shows, Ultra, cental park, festivals etc. Trance has replaced most rock on my I pod. I feel kind of old still being into EDM, but i love the music
