I'll post in English so everyone understands.
My wife and I have known both "scenes", let's be honest, there are two specific scenes we are talking about.
Once you hear famous dj's from overseas say they are looking for that older sound, well it's clear that I'm not sure what we can call trance music.
If you mean melodic music, no problem, if you mean the type of cliché music that gets "played in ASOT, Clublife, Countdown, or whatever", well there is, as this sound, which I happen to like too, has NOTHING to do with what we called trance back in the good old days (94-97), while the actual progressive and minimal scene has. The link is not the people, listen to the sound, and you'll hear the difference.
Let's face it, there was Trance a LONG time before the red-light district trance jocks.
And that's why I respect what Quincy does with Extreme, a lot. Phi-phi, Cosmo, Marko, Frank Struyf, will always be better than some dutch muppet claiming 50 000 Euros for 2 hours.
The reason why they boycott some label's music since 2003, while the latter served their careers a lot more than they think, remains quite unclear to me, but that's another story.
I live only Three kilometers away from this legendary club, which is still my favourite one. I wish it was still open. And if there are possibilities you'll see me in the first line claiming its reopening.
Format-wise, cd, vinyl, laptop, after all, if the music's good, who cares.
